Why Reed Ryan Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine!

Find out why UMD football player Reed Ryan did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Reed Ryan Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Reed Ryan died suddenly at just 22 years of age, some people immediately suggested that the senior defensive lineman at the University of Minnesota Duluth was somehow killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

William D : College Football Player Reed Ryan Dead At 22 After Collapsing During Workout. The vaccines are killing these people. It was untested.

Truth : Reed Ryan Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…

Fact #1 : Reed Ryan Suffered A Cardiac Arrest

Reed Ryan (born on 27 December 2000) was a senior defensive linesman at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

While training in a weight room on Tuesday, 21 November 2023, Reed suddenly went into a cardiac arrest. School officials managed to resuscitate him, and he was rushed to the ICU at the St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth.

Tragically, Reed Ryan never recovered, and passed away in the ICU a week later – on Tuesday, 28 November 2023.

Fact #2 : Reed Ryan Died From A Genetic Heart Condition

While some people started claiming that Reed Ryan somehow died from the COVID-19 vaccine, they never actually provided any evidence to tie his death to the vaccines.

Perhaps knowing that his death would be misused by people with ulterior motive, Reed Ryan’s family revealed his cause of death.

In an obituary that was released on November 29, his family revealed that Ryan Reed died from “a cardiac arrest” caused by “an undetected genetic heart condition” and a “large” heart (cardiomegaly).

Reed went into cardiac arrest on November 21st following a football team workout in the weight-room doing what he loved. This was the result of an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart.

The athletic training team was tremendous in their efforts to immediately initiate CPR and regain his pulse. The ICU hospital staff at St. Mary’s-Duluth were amazing in doing everything possible for him.

We want to especially thank Jessa, Hannah, Dawn, Sabrina, and Abbi, his teammates, the UMD coaching staff and administration–especially Forrest Karr and Coach Weise.

Reed Ryan is survived by his parents, Erin and Stephanie, his sister Robyn, and his brother Chase (Paige) Parr.

His family also stated that Reed has donated several of his organs, and his death will be part of an NCAA research study to help prevent the same condition from happening to other athletes.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Reed Ryan Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Despite suggestions that Reed Ryan was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Reed Ryan was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Reed Ryan was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Reed Ryan was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more tha two years ago!

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did Raphael Dwamena Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Did football star Raphael Dwamena collapse and die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Raphael Dwamena Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Raphael Dwamena died suddenly at just 28 years of age, some people immediately suggested that the former LaLiga star and international striker was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

William Makis MD : SUMMER OF DIED SUDDENLY – SOCCER Players are still collapsing & dying 3 years after COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout

Recommended : FDA Refused To Release Vaccine Myocarditis Results?!

 

No Evidence Raphael Dwamena Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Raphael Dwamena Apparently Suffered Cardiac Arrest

Raphael Dwamena (born on 12 September 1995) was a Ghanaian professional footballer who won nine caps for Ghana between 2017 and 2018, and played internationally as a striker.

On Saturday, 11 November 2023, Raphael Dwamena was playing in an Albanian Superliga match between FK Egnatia and Partizani, when he suddenly collapsed in the 23rd minute of the first half.

Dwamena was stretchered off the field, but despite attempts to resuscitate him, was pronounced dead on the way to the Kavajë Hospital. He was only 28 years old when he died.

Although an official cause of death was not announced, the media has so far reported that he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

Fact #2 : Raphael Dwamena Had History Of Heart Problem

In 2017, Raphael Dwamena was on the verge of signing with Brighton & Hove Albion FC, when he was diagnosed with a ventricular arrhythmia. That led the club to cancel his transfer from FC Zurich.

In 2019, Real Zaragoza terminated his contract while he was on loan from Levante, due to his health problems.

In 2020, Vejle Boldklub also terminated its loan of Raphael Dwamena due to his heart problems. That year, he was finally fitted with an implantable cardiovascular-defibrillator (ICD), which would later save his life at least once. Even though he finally had an ICD implanted, he was also advised to quit professional football.

In 2021, Raphael Dwamena lost his contract with Austrian club FC Blau-Weiss Linz, again due to his heart problems. At that time, he collapsed on the field during a game. Fortunately, his ICD shocked him back to life, but his career in Austria was over.

Fact #3 : Raphael Dwamena Apparently Removed His ICD

On 14 November 2023, Dr. Antonio Asso told the Spanish outlet, Sport, that Dwamena had his defibrillator removed a year before he collapsed and died suddenly on the field.

He died as a result of a respectable personal decision. But if the defibrillator had not been explanted, Raphael would still be alive.

Dr. Asso was Dwamena’s cardiologist, who convinced him to implant the defibrillator in the first place. He also advised him to quit professional football.

We managed to convince him of the imperative need to implant a defibrillator to at least guarantee his life, at the same time that we advised against practicing professional sports.

A couple of years ago they told me that the defibrillator had saved his life when he had a malignant arrhythmia that had been correctly treated automatically by the device. We had subsequently lost contact. 

From that moment on, I was aware that one day the tragedy that occurred on Saturday on a soccer field in Albania would happen.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Raphael Dwamena Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Raphael Dwamena was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Raphael Dwamena was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United Kingdom. European football clubs never had a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Raphael Dwamena was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Matt Ulrich : CTE + A Gun May Have Caused His Death!

Super Bowl champion Matt Ulrich likely suffered from CTE, and his death may have been from a self-inflicted gun shot!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Matt Ulrich : People Claim Vaccine Caused His Death!

Right after news broke that Matt Ulrich died suddenly at just 41 years of age, some people immediately suggested that COVID-19 vaccines caused the death of the former Super Bowl champion!

Matt Ulrich : CTE + A Gun May Have Caused His Death!

Sadly, anti-vaccine activists now automatically blame all sudden deaths on the COVID-19 vaccine, especially if the actual cause of death has not been revealed.

In many cases, the actual cause of death is later revealed to be something else altogether, like these examples:

Which brings us to Matt Ulrich. Born Matthew James Ulrich on 30 December 1981, he was a former offensive guard for the Indianapolis Colts, who retired in 2007 after playing two seasons with them.

Matt Ulrich’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

On Wednesday, 8 November 2023, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Matt Ulrich had died:

I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Matt Ulrich. Matt was with us only two seasons, but left his mark on many. Great guy, I hear he was a great dad—and he was a Super Bowl champ. My prayers to his family. 🙏

Matt Ulrich was 41 years old when he died, and survived by his wife, Alison Ulrich, and their four sons – Gunther, Dalton, Bowden, and Thoreau. Alison – Matt Ulrich’s widow, later posted a tribute to her husband:

As many of you know, one of a kind Matt has passed away and is in a better place.

Matt, we love you so much. You are profoundly missed. We all want you back for just one more day. One more hug. One more kiss. One more laugh. One more joke. One more wrestle with the boys. It seems impossible to do this life without you. 

Please pray for peace and comfort for the boys. They have lost their greatest fan, coach and friend.

I don’t have details on a service yet but will post here when I do. Thank you to everyone for reaching out and offering help. We appreciate it and are surrounded in love.

Neither Jim Irsay, not Alison Ulrich, revealed how Matt Ulrich died. So, we do NOT know Matt Ulrich’s cause of death. He could have died from suicide, a heart attack, a car accident, cardiac arrest, or even a fall! There is no indication, never mind evidence, that he died from some kind of COVID-19 vaccine injury.

Until and unless his family (or the authorities) reveal his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Matt Ulrich died from this or that cause of death is likely lying to you.

Matt Ulrich Was Likely Suffering From CTE

On 10 November 2023, the Dokken Nelson Funeral Service, which is handling his funeral in Bozeman, released an obituary for Matt Ulrich.

In that obituary, Dokken Nelson confirmed that Matt Ulrich died on 5 November 2023, and that Matt Ulrich had “a long-standing interest in the neurodegenerative disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE”.

The obituary further stated that his family was donating some of his brain tissue to help “further the understanding of this disease”. That suggests that Matt Ulrich was suffering from CTE.

He served on the Advisory Board of Harvard Medical School’s Football Health Study, a long-term research effort into NFL players’ health. He had a long-standing interest in the neurodegenerative disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, and his family has donated some of his brain tissue as a way to further the understanding of this disease.

Matt Ulrich Allegedly Died By Gun Suicide

On 9 November 2023, a man who claimed to be his cousin – Rich Bianco, refuted claims that Matt Ulrich died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

#MattUlrich Ex NFL Super Bowl Lineman is dead at 41. He’s my cousin and he didn’t die from the shot like a lot of people are saying. Please stop the rumors

Will miss you Matt #NFL #Colts

Rich further stated that there was a firearm involved in his death, suggesting that Matt Ulrich died by gun suicide.

There was a firearm. Lets see what the police say.

To be clear – his family did not issue a statement saying that Matt Ulrich died from a self-inflicted gun shot, triggered by CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). They are likely and understandably grieving from their loss. But all evidence so far points to that conclusion, and frankly, that’s more than we – the public – deserve to know.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for families to grieve in peace for their loved ones taken too early. Instead, family members are being forced to publicly reveal or hint at their actual cause of death, just to stop people from making baseless claims.

No Evidence Matt Ulrich Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Matt Ulrich’s Cause Of Death Still Unknown

Matt Ulrich (born Matthew James Ulrich on 30 December 1981) was a former offensive guard for the Indianapolis Colts, who retired in 2007 after playing two seasons with them.

Irsay did not reveal when exactly Matt Ulrich died, or the circumstances behind his death. Ulrich was 41 years old when he died, and survived by his wife, Alison Ulrich, and their four sons.

Fact #2 : Alison Ulrich Did Not Reveal His Cause Of Death

Alison – Matt Ulrich’s widow, later posted a tribute to her husband, but she too did not mention when he died, or his cause of death.

As many of you know, one of a kind Matt has passed away and is in a better place.

Matt, we love you so much. You are profoundly missed. We all want you back for just one more day. One more hug. One more kiss. One more laugh. One more joke. One more wrestle with the boys. It seems impossible to do this life without you.

Fact #5 : Cousin Said A Firearm Was Involved

Rich Bianco further stated that there was a firearm involved in his death, suggesting that Matt Ulrich died by gun suicide.

There was a firearm. Lets see what the police say.

Regardless of whether Matt Ulrich committed suicide by gun, or that firearm accidentally discharged and killed him, what’s certain is that – the COVID-19 vaccine didn’t pull the trigger.

Despite claims that Matt Ullrich was fully-vaccinated and twice boosted, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Truth : Lionel Messi Did NOT Die In High Speed Car Accident!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page / video views and advertising, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death

These social media posts, as well as YouTube and TikTok videos have been circulating for months now, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported on Lionel Messi’s death!

Lionel Messi is one of the world’s best footballer and a mega celebrity. His death would have been covered extensively by the media across the globe! And his fans would have mourned his death on social media.

Yet, no legitimate media outlet has reported that Lionel Messi died recently from any cause, never mind a tragic car accident. Why should you believe no-name websites, or random YouTube / TikTok videos?

Fact #2 : Lionel Messi Is Still Alive + Well!

Lionel Messi (born Lionel Andrés Messi on 24 June 1987) is still very much alive and well, as of Tuesday, 10 October 2023, when he posted a trailer of an upcoming animated series – Messi and the Giants, on his Instagram account!

On Saturday, 9 October 2023, Lionel Messi also played in the Inter Miami game against FC Cincinnati, after missing the last four games due to an old injury. Inter Miami did poorly in his absence, losing two games, and playing to a draw in two other games.

He returned to the field that day for just over half an hour, but was unable to turn things around. Cincinnati ended up winning the game 1-0.

Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tara” Martino later said:

His injury is healed, but his rhythm was just off. He hasn’t played much, that’s why I only played him 35 minutes.

Despite his old injury cropping up again, Lionel Messi is very much still alive, many weeks and months after those social media posts, YouTube and Facebook videos claimed that he died suddenly in a tragic car accident!

Fact #3 : This Car Accident Photo Was From 2009

To convince you that Lionel Messi died (even though he’s still alive), the fake news creators had to make use of unrelated car crashes.

In this example, the video claimed that Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, died in this car accident.

The truth is – that is a photo of a Ferrari 599 that crashed in October 2009, on the Great Ocean Road in southern Victoria, Australia. The driver was a 64 year-old man called Carlo Vaccari.

Mr. Vaccari lost control while driving his Ferrari 599 at 80 km/h and ploughed into two motorcyclists travelling in the opposite direction. He was convicted of careless driving, but only fined $3000.

Fact #4 : This Car Accident Photo Was Posted In 2014

It is unknown when this car accident happened, but this undated car accident photo was posted by WreckedExotics.com on August 13, 2014.

Apparently, the driver lost control of his Ferrari 458 Italia while trying to overtake another car, and crashed into a trash bin. The driver left the scene of the accident, possibly under the influence of drugs / alcohol.

Even though this incident happened in Madrid, Spain, this photo is old and has nothing to do with Lionel Messi.

Fact #5 : This Car Accident Occurred In 2012

This photo does not show Lionel Messi’s fatal car crash. This accident actually occurred at around 9 PM on 1 September 2012, at the E42 highway near Francorchamps in Belgium.

The driver was a 63 year-old man from Saint-Ghislain, and was obviously not Lionel Messi.

Recommended : Did Toby Keith Just Die Suddenly In Hospital?!

Fact #6 : Lionel Messi Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Lionel Messi death hoax is, ironically, also fuelled by MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in its fake fact check article:

News of footballer Lionel Messi’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the October 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the 36-year-old footballer is alive and well.

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Lionel Messi Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Lionel Messi’ unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other celebrities whose reps MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Gibb, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Celine Dion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justin Bieber, Lucy LiuMadonna, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, Sylvester Stallone, Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, and Tom Hanks..

He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.

Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.

Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Did Damien Harris Collapse From Vaccine Injury?!

Did Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris just collapse on the field from a COVID-19 vaccine injury?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Damien Harris Collapsed From Vaccine Injury!

Right after news broke that Damien Harris collapsed during a game, and was taken off-field in an ambulance, some people immediately suggested that the Buffalo Bills running back just suffered a COVID-19 vaccine injury!

DiedSuddenly : Damar Hamlin watches Bills teammate Damien Harris on the ground in the latest terrible NFL injury. He was carted off.

When does this keep happening to our top athletes?!

Dr. Phillip Oliver-Holz : 🚨BREAKING: #Bills RB Damien Harris has just suffered a vaccine injury on the field.

Jeffrey Josephs : The Buffalo Bills have a mandatory Covid-19 vaccine policy for all of their players and staff.

Damar Hamlin and now Damien Harris have both suffered vaccine injuries on the field.

Someone needs to prosecute the Bills!

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Truth : Damien Harris Did Not Collapse From Vaccine Injury!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Damien Harris Was Conscious + Aware

On Sunday night, October 15, 2023, the Buffalo Bills faced off against the New York Giants at the Highmark Stadium.

During that game, Damien Harris was tackled by linebacker Bobby Okereke, with Harris’ helmet hitting Okereke squarely on his left shoulder. After that tackle though, Harris did not get up.

When he laid on the turf, medical staff and Buffalo Bill trainers rushed to attend to him. Unlike Damar Hamlin (who was watching the game), Damien Harris did not require CPR and remained conscious.

He was eventually immobilised and loaded on an ambulance. He even gave a thumbs up before he was placed in the ambulance.

Fact #2 : Damien Harris Suffered A Neck Injury

Damien Harris did not suffer any vaccine-induced cardiac arrest or myocarditis, as some people are claiming / suggesting. He suffered a neck injury after he slammed hard into Bobby Okereke during the game.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott later said that initial tests indicated that Damien Harris’ injury was not as serious as they may have thought.

It’s my understanding he has full movement. Fortunate that he is seemingly heading in a good direction, with the reports we are getting. So I am very thankful to God for that.

To be clear – Damien Harris suffered a neck injury from a hard hit to his head. It was most certainly not caused by any “COVID-19 vaccine injury”.

Recommended : Did Bronny James Almost Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Fact #3 : Unknown If Damien Harries Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Damien Harris was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Damien Harris was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Damien Harris was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Damien Harris was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses over two years ago!

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #5 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death / injury claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next death or tragedy…

Angela Lee : Victoria Lee Died From Suicide, Not Vaccine!

MMA fighter Angela Lee just confirmed that her sister, rising MMA star Victoria Lee, died from suicide, and not the COVID-19 vaccine!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Victoria Lee Died From Vaccine, Not Suicide!

Right after news broke that Victoria Lee died suddenly, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 18 year-old rising MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) star was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS), and not suicide!

Died Suddenly : Victoria Lee, a rising phenom in mixed martial arts, has #diedsuddenly at the age of 18.

Her family is absolutely devastated. Stating: “She has gone too soon and our family has been completely devastated since then”

Her cause of death has not yet been released. 💉

Luther ‘Ćyrus’ : “ONE Championship fighters must be vaccinated to compete in Singapore; ruleset approved in multiple US states, says Chatri Sityodtong.” September 3, 2021.

MMA phenom Victoria Lee ‘dies suddenly’ at 18

I Told You So : Mixed martial arts phenom Victoria Lee has died suddenly at age 18, according to her family.

Lee suddenly died on Dec. 26, according to Angela Lee – who is also a talented MMA fighter.

#diedsuddenly #suddenlydied #vaccine

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Angela Lee : Victoria Lee Died From Suicide, Not Vaccine!

Victoria Lee (born Victoria Sun-hei Lee on May 17, 2004) was an American mixed martial artist, who was the youngest fighter to ever compete in ONE Championship.

She was the sister of MMA fighters Angela Lee and Christian Lee, and was the current ONE women’s atomweight champion, having successfully defended the title five times since she won it in 2016.

On Saturday, January 7, 2023, Angela Lee announced that her younger sister, Victoria Lee, died almost two weeks earlier – on Monday, December 26, 2022. Victoria Lee was only 18 years old when she died.

On December 26, 2022 our family experienced something no family should ever have to go through…
It is incredibly difficult to say this…
Our Victoria passed away.

She has gone too soon and our family has been completely devastated since then.
We miss her. More than anything in this world. Our family will never be the same. Life will never be the same.

Read more : Angela Lee : STOP conspiracy theories about Victoria!

While her sister, Angela, did not reveal how she died, she hinted in her Instagram post that Victoria committed suicide. She advised everyone to check on their loved ones, and “keep checking on them” and “tell them how much they mean“.

Please give our family grace and respect during this most difficult time. And please, check on your loved ones. Keep checking on them. Give them hugs and tell them how much they mean to you. You just never know.

While many people naturally understood that as a tacit admission by her sister that Victoria Lee died by suicide, many anti-vaccine activists promoted the idea she not only died from the vaccine, but the family was somehow covering it up.

Her family ended up permanently closed their gym – United MMA Hawaii, possibly to avoid the intense media and public interest over Victoria Lee’s sudden death.

That eventually led to Angela Lee publicly calling for people to stop hiring private investigators, or promote conspiracy theories about her sister’s sudden death.

Read more : United MMA Hawaii Closes After Victoria Lee’s Death!

Victoria Lee never officially revealed her vaccination status, but she was likely fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 before September 21, 2021.

That is because Singapore at that time required all foreign travellers to be fully-vaccinated to enter the country. Therefore, Victoria Lee would have to receive her second dose at least two weeks before flying into Singapore for her September 21, 2021 match against Victoria Souza.

However, it is impossible for the COVID-19 vaccine to cause her death as she would have received her doses at least 15 months ago! Vaccine side effects appear within hours or days, not months later. Yet, some people continue to chalk her death up to the COVID-19 vaccine, despite a complete lack of evidence.

Fortunately, Angela Lee finally nailed the stake into the heart of this vampiric claim!

In an emotional video, Angela Lee confirmed that her sister, Victoria Lee, committed suicide on December 26, 2022.

On December 26, 2022, my sister Victoria took her own life.

With that, I hope that everyone will finally lay off her grieving family, and let them have the peace they deserve.

There never was any evidence that Victoria Lee was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine. Stop abusing her death to drive your agenda.

Did Patriots fan Dale Mooney die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine during a game with the Miami Dolphins?!

Claim : Patriots Fan Dale Mooney Died Suddenly From Vaccine!

Truth : Patriots Fan Dale Mooney Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Dale Mooney Died After Being Punched

On Sunday night, 17 September 2023, 53 year-old Dale Mooney, was watching the game between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins at the Gillette Stadium, when there was bickering between two sections of the 300 tier.

His friends who were watching the game with him said that a group of Dolphins fans “verbally taunted” Dale Mooney, who was standing at the aisle. He suddenly pushed his way into the other section to tussle with the group.

Some people tried to break up the altercation while others tried to get away. Mooney’s Patriots hat fell off just before he was punched twice in the face by a Dolphins fan. He then collapsed to the ground, and never got back up.

Police and fire personnel responded quickly to the scene at around 10:57 PM, and performed CPR on him for 10-15 minutes but could not revive him. Dale Mooney was taken to the Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where he was pronounced dead.

One witness at the scene, Joseph Kilmartin, said that Dale Mooney fell unconscious after getting punched twice in his face.

They started tussling around for a few minutes. At one point another Dolphins fan walked over. He punched him three times, and the man just went out. It was pretty hard to watch.

Mooney’s widow, who was not at the game, later claimed that he was punched to death after being taunted by Dolphins fans. An eyewitness claimed that Dale Mooney and the Dolphins fan who punched him had been arguing for much of the game.

Obviously, the COVID-19 vaccine has no bearing on Dale Mooney’s death, as he only collapsed after being punched three time, with two hits right in his face.

Fact #2 : Dale Mooney Will Undergo An Autopsy

Norfolk County DA’s office has opened an investigation following “normal protocol”, with an autopsy due to take place in coming days.

A man in his 30s, who was described as having a salt and pepper beard was led away by the police. However, no arrest has been made over this incident, and no changes have been filed so far.

Until and unless the autopsy report reveals that the COVID-19 vaccines somehow caused his death, anyone who claims that Dale Mooney died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccines is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Dale Mooney Was Vaccinated

Were Hank Aaron Autopsy + Cause of Death Falsified?!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just suggested that the Hank Aaron autopsy and cause of death may have been falsified to cover up his death from the COVID-19 vaccine!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-09-03 : Added video fact check.
Originally posted @ 2023-09-02

 

Claim : Hank Aaron Autopsy + Cause of Death Are False!

People are sharing a video clip of US Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suggest that Hank Aaron likely died from the COVID-19 vaccine, because his autopsy and cause of death may have been falsified!

Chief Nerd : Robert F. Kennedy Jr on How the New York Times Lied About Hank Aaron’s Autopsy 

“The New York Times did an article that said ‘Robert Kennedy is a conspiracy theorist because the Fulton County coroner has declared that Hank Aaron’s death was unrelated to the vaccine…So I called the Fulton County coroner and got them on the phone and they said we don’t know what the New York Times is talking about. We never saw Hank Aaron’s body.”

Recommended : New Study Proves Pfizer Vaccine Causes Turbo Cancer?!

 

No Evidence Hank Aaron Autopsy + Cause of Death Are False!

Let’s take a look at what happened, and what the facts really are!

Fact #1 : Hank Aaron Received Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Dose

Hank Aaron (born Henry Louis Aaron on February 5, 1934) was an American professional baseball player who played 23 seasons in Major League Baseball, from 1954 to 1976.

On 5 January 2021, Hank Aaron posted on Twitter that he just received his first COVID-19 vaccine dose at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia:

I was proud to get the COVID-19 vaccine earlier today at Morehouse School of Medicine. I hope you do the same!

It was reported that Hank Aaron received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #2 : Hank Aaron Did Not Have Side Effect From Vaccine

According to former congressman, mayor and US ambassador, Andrew Young, who was also vaccinated at the same clinic on the same day, Aaron Hank did not experience any side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine he received:

I talked to the fella who was his driver, and I said, ‘was Hank feeling any discomfort or any problem over the last few days?’ and he said, ‘no, he wanted to keep his schedule,’

Fact #3 : Hank Aaron Died Of Natural Causes

Hank Aaron died in his sleep at his Atlanta, Georgia home on January 22, 2021. He was 86 years old when he died.

On January 25, 2021, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office announce that Hank Aaron died of natural causes.

A memorial service was held at the Truist Park on Tuesday, January 26, with a funeral service on Wednesday, January 27, at the Friendship Baptist Church, followed by a burial at the South-View Cemetery.

Because Hank Aaron died 17 days after receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, many anti-vaccine activists claimed or suggested that he died from the vaccine.

Recommended : Did Moderna Try To Cover Up Vaccine Deaths?!

Fact #4 : RFK Jr. Was Repeating His Earlier Claim

This isn’t the first time Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that Hank Aaron may have died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine.

On January 22, 2021, he tweeted a link to an article by his organisation, Children’s Health Defense, which suggested that Hank Aaron died suddenly from the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

#HankAaron’s tragic death is part of a wave of suspicious deaths among elderly closely following administration of #COVID #vaccines. He received the #Moderna vaccine on Jan. 5 to inspire other Black Americans to get the vaccine. #TheDefender

The difference is – this time, he’s suggesting that the New York Times was wrong, and that the Fulton County Examiner’s office “never saw Hank Aaron’s body“!

Fact #5 : Hank Aaron’s Body Was Examined By Fulton County Medical Examiner

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on The Breakfast Club radio show that he called the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office, and was told that the people there “never saw Hank Aaron’s body”.

He repeated the claim for a second time, stating that he wrote to The New York Times, telling them they needed to post a correction because the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office never saw his body.

That is quite a ludicrous claim since Hank Aaron was taken to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office after his death. So it would be quite ridiculous for anyone at the Fulton County ME to claim that it never saw his body.

In fact, the county medical examiner, Karen Sullivan, told AFP Fact Check on January 27, 2021 that it examined Hank Aaron’s body (my emphasis in bold):

[E]xamination of Mr. Aaron’s body did not suggest his death was due to any event other than that associated with his medical history.

Based on the information provided by Mr Aaron’s family and physical examination of his body, it is my medical opinion that Mr Aaron’s death was not related to his recent vaccination for Covid-19.

Recommended : Is Joe Biden Reinstating Face Mask + Lockdowns?!

Fact #6 : New York Times Never Mentioned An Autopsy

On January 31, 2021, the The New York Times published a fact check article, which called out Robert K. Kennedy for suggesting without evidence that there was a link between Hank Aaron’s death and the COVID-19 vaccine he received.

Never mind the skeptics, officials say: Hank Aaron’s death had nothing to do with the Covid-19 vaccine.

[A]nti-vaccine activists, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic, are seizing on his death to suggest — without evidence — that there might be a link.

To be clear – the NYT article never mentioned that Hank Aaron underwent an autopsy. The word “autopsy” was not mentioned even once in the entire article.

Neither did the NYT article quote the Fulton County medical examiner as claiming that an autopsy was conducted. It only mentioned that the medical examiner only stated that there was no evidence Hank Aaron suffered any allergic or anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine.

The Fulton County medical examiner has also said there was nothing to suggest that Mr. Aaron had an allergic or anaphylactic reaction related to the vaccine.

Fact #7 : Fulton County Medical Examiner Did Not Mention Autopsy

Other media reports quoting the Fulton County Medical Examiner also did not mention that an autopsy was conducted on Hank Aaron. They only reported that Hank Aaron’s body was examined by the medical examiner.

Under Georgia law, an autopsy is only required (PDF download) in deaths occurring:

  1. As a result of violence;
  2. By suicide or casualty;
  3. Suddenly when in apparent good health;
  4. When unattended by a physician;
  5. In any suspicious or unusual manner, with particular attention to those persons 16 years of age and under;
  6. After birth but before seven years of age if the death is unexpected or unexplained;
  7. As a result of an execution carried out pursuant to the imposition of the death penalty;
  8. An inmate of a state hospital or a state, county, or city penal institution; or
  9. After having been admitted to a hospital in an unconscious state and without regaining consciousness within 24 hours of admission.

Hank Aaron was 86 years-old, and suffering from arthritis, hypertension and prostate issues. He also had a partial hip replacement after falling down in 2014, and has to use a wheelchair.

Therefore, it does not appear that an autopsy was warranted in his death, and an autopsy was likely not conducted.

Recommended : Did Study Show COVID Vaccines Cause VAIDS In Children?!

Fact #8 : No Evidence Hank Aaron Died From COVID-19 Vaccine

Ultimately, there is simply no evidence that Hank Aaron died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Unless there is evidence he suffered from an anaphylactic attack (which occurs within minutes), or other vaccine side effects before his death, it is wrong to simply attribute his death to the vaccine:

“That was a pure coincidence,” countered Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, the founding dean of the Morehouse medical school and secretary of health and human services in the George H.W. Bush administration, who was vaccinated along with Mr. Aaron. He told the Atlanta station WSB-TV, “It is though, if you might say, Hank was in a car before the day he died, and we try and attribute his death to being in a car.”

The COVID-19 vaccine only protects against severe disease and death from COVID-19. It cannot protect against other causes of death, and it is certainly not an elixir of immortality. Vaccinated people can and do continue to die from other causes of death.

Truth : Jamie Cail Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Jamie Cail Died Unexpectedly At Home

Jamie Cail was a former member of the US swimming team that participated in the 1997 Pan Pacific Championships, and won a gold medal in the 800m free relay event. She also won a silver medal at that 1998-1999 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Brazil.

Shortly after midnight on February 21, 2023, her boyfriend ” left a local bar” to check on Jamie Cail who was at their shared home on the island of St. John. On arrival, he found Jamie Cail was found unresponsive on the floor.

Her boyfriend and a friend took her to the Myrah Keating-Smith Clinic, where doctors indicated that “she was in cardiac arrest” and performed CPR on her. However, Jamie Cail could not be revived, and passed away in the early hours.

The Virgin Islands Police Department was informed of her death-on-arrival, and an autopsy was performed to determine her cause of death.

Fact #2 : Jamie Cail’s Cause Of Death Was Fentanyl Poisoning

On August 27, 2023, the Virgin Islands Police Department announced the official cause of death for Jamie Cail, after the US Virgin Islands Office of Medical Examiner released its autopsy report on August 22.

According to the Medical Examiner’s autopsy report, Jamie Cail’s official cause of death was “fentanyl intoxication with aspiration of gastric content“.

The Virgin Islands Criminal Investigation Bureau said that the overdose was “accidental“, but did not say if it was investigating the source of the fentanyl that led to Jamie Cail’s death.

However, the United States has been hit by an epidemic of death from drug overdoses involving fentanyl. The US recorded more than 100,000 deaths from drug overdoses in 2021, most of which were caused by fentanyl.

Needless to say – the autopsy report completely debunks the claims that Jamie Cail died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Jamie Cail Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Jamie Cail was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Jamie Cail was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Jamie Cail was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses over two years ago!

She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did WWE Star Bray Wyatt Die From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Did WWE superstar Bray Wyatt die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Bray Wyatt Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that Bray Wyatt died suddenly at just 36 years old, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the WWE superstar died from the COVID-19 vaccine!

The Raging Deplorable : Do you see the correlation here? Triple H, suffers a heart attack, Jerry Lawler suffers a stroke, and now Bray Wyatt dies suddenly after dealing with Covid-19 for the last 5 months. They all took the Pfizer vaccine. And yet, this will be swept under the rug, and completely forgotten. #VaccineGenocide #vaccinedeaths #vaccineSideEffects #DiedSuddenly

Mark Anthony Travels : #BrayWyatt and others like him, have died because of the vaccine. If you are one of the ignorant, I suggest you open your mind to the facts being released about #VaccineSideEffects . They are lying when they say this is #Covis related. They want you to keep taking the #Vaccine

DrRayDid Windham Rotunda who was known as WWE superstar Bray Wyatt take the covid vaccine?
The WWE definitely promoted it. Francis Collins of the NIH promoted it with WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre.

🙏for the family

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Truth : Bray Wyatt Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Bray Wyatt Died Unexpectedly At 36 Years Old

Bray Wyatt (born Windham Lawrence Rotunda on May 23, 1987) was an American professional wrestler, who performed in the WWE from 2010 to 2021, and in 2022.

On Thursday, 24 August 2023, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H announced on Twitter that the Bray Wyatt died unexpectedly that day.

Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.

Bray Wyatt was only 36 years old when he died. He was survived by his ex-wife Samantha Rotunda and their two daughters, as well as his fiancé, WWE ring announcer JoJo and their two children.

Fact #2 : Bray Wyatt’s Cause Of Death Was Heart Attack

Possibly cognisant of the inevitable claims surrounding Bray Wyatt’s sudden death, wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp was given permission to reveal his cause of death:

I was given permission to reveal that earlier this year Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) got COVID that exacerbated a heart issues.

There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away.

To be clear, Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine. His cause of death was a heart attack complicated by a prior COVID-19 infection.

Recommended : Did Bronny James Almost Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Fact #3 : Bray Wyatt Was Suffering From COVID-19

Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda had been suffering from an undisclosed illness since February 2023, which was reportedly life-threatening. He had been making “positive progress towards recovery”, when he suffered his heart attack and died.

Shortly after Windham Rotunda died, it was revealed that he had been suffering from COVID-19, which exacerbated a pre-existing heart condition.

This is a sad reminder that COVID-19 remains a dangerous disease for people with pre-existing health problems, even if they are young adults like Windham Rotunda.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Bray Wyatt Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Bray Wyatt was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Bray Wyatt was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. The WWE also did not mandate that its wrestlers must be vaccinated against COVID-19.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Bray Wyatt / Windham Rotunda was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses over two years ago!

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Did Bronny James Almost Die From COVID Vaccine?!

Did Bronny James – LeBron James’ son, almost die from a cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?! Find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-08-27 : Added his heart defect diagnosis, and other updates
Originally posted @ 2023-07-27

 

Claim : Bronny James Almost Died From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

Right after news broke that Bronny James collapsed from a cardiac arrest during basketball practice with his team, some people immediately claimed or suggested that LeBron James’ older son was suffering from myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, or that his cardiac arrest was caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

Elon MuskWe cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing.

Myocarditis is a known side-effect. The only question is whether it is rare or common.

William Makis MD : CARDIAC ARREST in the young – Lebron James’ 18 year old son Bronny James had a cardiac arrest during practice at 9:30am on July 24, 2023 – he was fully COVID-19 vaccinated

Some young people survive vaccine injury – 13 cases that did!

OutKick : Elon Musk is right to ask and wonder if the Covid vaccine contributed to Bronny James’ cardiac arrest.

We need to know why this keeps happening to young healthy adults.

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

No Evidence Bronny James Almost Died From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Bronny James Suffered Cardiac Arrest During Practice

Born LeBron Raymone James Jr. on October 6, 2004, Bronny James is the eldest son of NBA superstar, LeBron James, and a basketball player for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans team.

At approximately 9:26 AM PDT on Monday, July 24, 2023, Bronny James collapsed while practicing with his team at the USC Galen Center. He was rushed by ambulance to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and confirmed to have suffered from a cardiac arrest.

By the time news broke on Tuesday, July 25, Bronny James was in stable condition, and had already been released from intensive care. A spokesperson for his family said:

Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU.

We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information. LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes.

When Damar Hamlin – the Buffalo Bill safety who suffered from a cardiac arrest earlier this year, learned about it, he tweeted his support and pledged to support the family through the same process:

Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well. 🙏🏽 here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.

Recommended : Did Olympic Swimmer Helen Smart Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Fact #2 : Bronny James Has Congenital Heart Defect

On Friday, August 25, 2023, the James family announced in a statement, that Bronny James was found to have a congenital heart defect that likely caused his sudden cardiac arrest on the basketball court:

After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James’ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified. 

It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated.

We are very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. We will continue to provide updates to media and respectfully reiterate the family’s request for privacy.

The statement did not mention the type of congenital heart defect Bronny James has, but heart defects can definitely cause sudden cardiac arrest, especially during strenuous exercise or activity.

But to be clear – Bronny James was born with the heart defect (that’s what congenital means). He did not develop it from getting the COVID-19 vaccines.

Read more : Bronny James : Cardiac Arrest From Congenital Heart Defect!

Fact #2 : Cardiac Arrest Is Common In Young Athletes

Anti-vaccination activists often claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly collapse from cardiac arrest. The truth is many young athletes do suddenly collapse from sudden cardiac arrest, and many don’t survive unless they receive medical attention quickly.

The United States alone records over half a million cases of sudden cardiac arrest cases every year – an incidence of about 130 per 100,000 individuals per year. Many people have undiagnosed heart conditions that may not produce noticeable symptoms in daily life, but could result in sudden cardiac arrest at any time.

The risk of developing sudden cardiac arrest increases during strenuous activities, which is why many US states enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.

And no, COVID-19 vaccines do NOT cause cardiac arrests, no matter what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting cardiac arrests, or dying from them.

Read more : Young Athletes At High Risk Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest!

Fact #3 : No Evidence Bronny James Had Myocarditis

According to CNN, Bronny James underwent cardiac screening several months earlier, as part of testing for prospective NBA players.

The screening included a transthroracic echocardiogram, which looks at blood flow through the heart and its valves, and an electrocardiogram (ECG / EKG), which shows the heart’s electrical activity.

Both heart screenings came back with normal results. This rules out the possibility that Bronny James was suffering from myocarditis, as Elon Musk and other people have suggested.

In fact, it would be quite impossible for Bronny James to practice with his team if he was suffering from myocarditis, as he would be experiencing chest pain, fatigue, and breathing difficulties, another other symptoms.

Needless to say, neither Elon Musk nor the other people who suggested or hinted that Bronny James was suffering from myocarditis actually provided any evidence…

Just in case you are wondering – the ECG / EKG only captures a snapshot of his heart’s electrical activity at that point in time. Bronny James will need to undergo longer monitoring, even a stress EKG, to see if there is any abnormal electrical activity, especially during more strenuous activity.

Fact #4 : Risk Of Myocarditis Much Higher With COVID-19 Infection

According to the large SAFECOVAC study conducted in Malaysia, there is less than one in a million risk of getting myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines!

In fact, if you take the SAFECOVAC data, and extrapolate the risk of myocarditis from people who were vaccinated three times (including booster dose) versus a COVID-19 infection, you will see this:

Look at the results! If you are worried about myocarditis, you should definitely want to AVOID getting infected with COVID-19.

Myocarditis
Risk
Per Million
People
vs
Sinovac
vs
AstraZeneca
vs
Pfizer
COVID-19 450 +300x +214x +167x
3x Pfizer 2.7 +1.8x +1.3x Baseline
3x AstraZeneca 2.1 +1.4x Baseline -0.2x
3x Sinovac 1.5 Baseline -0.3x -0.4x

No matter how you slice and dice the results, it is very clear that the risk of myocarditis is GREATEST with a single COVID-19 infection, than it is with THREE doses of the Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Sinovac vaccines.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Bronny James Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Bronny James has never publicly revealed his vaccination status, so it is unknown if he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

I can only confirm that his father, LeBron James, was fully-vaccinated as he revealed in September 2021:

I know that for me I can speak about myself. I think everyone has their own choice to do what they feel is right for themselves and their family, and things of that nature.

I know that I was very [skeptical] about it all, but after doing my research, and things of that nature, I felt like it was best suited for not only me but for my family and for my friends, and that’s why I decided to do it.

While that may suggest that his entire family was similarly vaccinated against COVID-19, he did not explicitly say so.

Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Bronny James was fully-vaccinated, he would have received his vaccine doses more than a year ago!

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did Olympic Swimmer Helen Smart Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Did former Olympic swimmer Helen Smart die suddenly in her sleep from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Helen Smart Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Helen Smart died suddenly in her sleep, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the former Olympic swimmer died from COVID-19 vaccine Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)!

The People’s Voice : Healthy Olympic Swimmer ‘Dies Suddenly’ Following Booster Shot

Died Suddenly : Olympic swimmer Helen Smart Dies Suddenly at age 43: ‘Can’t comprehend’

Her grieving husband, Craig Smart, took to the school’s Facebook page to pay tribute to his beloved wife.

Was found dead by her 4 yo daughter: “Daddy, I can’t wake mummy up” She had gone paddle boarding hours before death #DiedSuddenly #cdnpoli #ableg

Expose Them : Former Olympic swimmer Helen Smart (formerly Don-Duncan) died suddenly at the age of 42. She was the head teacher at Worsley Mesnes Primary School. In 2022 the school promoted covid vaccination for children 5 and up.

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

No Evidence Helen Smart Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Helen Smart Died Suddenly In Her Sleep

Helen Smart (born Helen Don-Duncan on 9 June 1981) was an English competitive backstroke swimmer, who represented England in the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, and Great Britain in the 2000 Olympics Games in Sydney.

She retired from competitive swimming after the 2000 Sydney Olympics – 23 years ago, and began a career in teaching. She eventually became the headteacher of Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School in Wigan.

On Friday, 11 August 2023, the former Olympian and her brother, Robert, drove both their families and their parents to Cumbria, to celebrate Robert’s 40th birthday.

Their extended family stayed at a large cottage at the banks of Lake Coniston, where Helen went paddle boarding that evening. Hours later, she went to bed at midnight, saying that she was tired.

At around 4 AM in the morning, Helen’s 4 year-old daughter, Heidi woke up and tried to get in bed with her. That was when Helen was found unresponsive. Her mother, Linda, detailed what happened to Mailonline:

We are just in so much shock. You jump from believing it to not believing it. She had been paddle boarding a few hours before and had never even been ill apart from her knees swelling from swimming.

We’re distraught. They don’t know what it is but they think it must have happened shortly after she went to bed. She just died in her sleep.

At midnight, she went to bed telling me: ‘I’ll go to bed now mum as I know I’ll be woken at 6am by Heidi. I just want to get some sleep in as I’ve had a long day.

Heidi had woken up in the night and tried to get into bed with her. She said to her daddy: ”Mummy won’t wake up’. He said: ”Oh she must be very tired Heidi – you go back to bed.”

He put the torch on and he said later that when he looked he could tell. Robert woke us up at 4am and said: ‘Mum, dad you need to keep up – we think Helen’s died. We just ran up and followed up and there she was in bed

I touched her foot and she was cold. I walked round and to the side of her and she looked asleep but you could tell she was gone. I just said: ”Why couldn’t it have been me.” I would have happily swapped places with her. That’s not the way round it should have been. I just thought, no no.

Recommended : Did Bronny James Almost Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Fact #2 : Helen Smart’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

It is still unknown HOW or WHY Helen Smart died in her sleep. Her family has not publicly mentioned her cause of death. Even when her husband, Craig Smart, released a statement, he did not mention that her cause of death:

She loved the school, staff, children and parents so much. She was so proud to reach her goal of being headteacher.

She used to say to me all the time she could never see herself at another school. She was Worsley Mesnes through and through!

I remember only last week she said her goal was to get the school to outstanding and that she had the right staff to achieve this.

I hope you all keep learning like champions. Please learn from this and live your best life, no regrets.

Take lots of photos, make memories and keep smiling just like Helen always did! Love to you all!

It is unknown if an autopsy has been conducted, but until and unless her family or the coroner reveals her official cause of death, anyone who claims that Helen Smart / Helen Don-Duncan died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Helen Smart Was Well Before Her Death

Anti-vaccination activists are suggesting that Helen Smart “died suddenly” from vaccine SADS or some vaccine injury, because she was perfectly healthy and well before her sudden death.

As I pointed out earlier – Helen Smart was paddle boarding just hours before her death. That suggests that she was healthy, and not suffering from myocarditis / pericarditis that is often blamed on mRNA vaccines, or any “vaccine injury” for the matter.

Just because she was not ill earlier, does not mean she died from a COVID-19 vaccine side effect. There are many causes of sudden death during sleep – stroke, sudden cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, heart disease, etc.

Until and unless an autopsy is conducted, and her official cause of death is known, we simply do not know why Helen Smart died suddenly in her sleep, much less blame her death on COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause SADS

After billions of doses were administered worldwide over the last 2.5 years, there is still no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).

In fact, this is a rather ludicrous claim as SADS was first documented in 1977 – long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!

SADS also occurs at a rate of 0.12 to 0.21 per 100,000 people every single year. In other words, approximately 9,000 to 16,000 people die from SADS every single year, before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Despite what anti-vaccination activists may tell you – SADS is not a new vaccine-related syndrome.

SADS is usually caused by an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest. That’s why it can be prevented by implanting a cardioverter-defribillator.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Helen Smart Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Helen Smart was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine. Her COVID-19 vaccination status has never been made public.

Even though The People’s Voice (formerly known as NewsPunch) declared in its title that Helen Smart died suddenly “following booster shot”, there is no evidence she received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose recently, or even at all.

It is possible that Helen Smart was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United Kingdom.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Helen Smart was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us have any evidence of that.

Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Helen Smart was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses more than a year ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Did Caleb White Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Did Alabama basketball star Caleb White collapse and die suddenly on-court from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Caleb White Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Caleb White collapsed and died suddenly during an on-court workout, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the Alabama high school basketball star died from COVID-19 vaccine Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)!

Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH : First questions I ask as a cardiologist: brand, dose 1, 2, 3 etc, prior HCM or other known heart disease? Autopsy? C19vax myocarditis can be quickly ruled in or out. #courageousdiscourse
@ACCinTouch @American_Heart @HeartNews

Steve Kirsch : Another death of a young star basketball player. Come on folks. Have you ever seen so many cardiac events/deaths in young people before?

The common thread is that they were all vaccinated with the COVID vaccine.

Died Suddenly : Another young and healthy basketball player died Thursday afternoon. Pinson Valley High School senior Caleb White suffered a medical emergency at school.

Caleb was working out with his team when he collapsed to his death. Life-saving efforts were started at the school, and White was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

No Evidence Caleb White Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Caleb White Collapsed While Working Out

Caleb White was an Alabama high school basketball star, who was an all-state selection, and entering his senior year as a 3-star recruit.

On Thursday, 10 August 2023, Caleb White was working out on court at his school, when he reportedly collapsed at 1:12 PM.

First responders transported him to the St. Vincent’s East hospital in Birmingham, where he was pronounced dead at 2:23 PM, according to Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates.

Pinson Valley High School principal issued this statement:

I unfortunately have some very sad news to report tonight. One of our senior students suffered a medical emergency at school today. Life saving efforts were immediately started and first responders were called. 

Sadly, the student was later pronounced deceased after being transported to the hospital. We will have more to say in the near future. Please know counseling resources will be available for anyone who needs them in the coming days. Please keep the student’s family and our school in your prayers.

Caleb White’s grandfather, George Varnadoe Jr., offered more details about his grandson’s death:

My heart is extremely heavy. My grandson, Caleb White was working out with his team a short while ago. He collapsed on the floor, they tried resuscitating him. When that didn’t work, he was then transported to the hospital. The doctor’s [sic] couldn’t revive him. At 17, he was dead!!!!

Caleb was an honor student, very respectful, high intellect, excellent role model, phenomenal basketball player ranked 25th best point guard in his class in the nation & number 2 in the state of Alabama. RIP Caleb! I love you man!!!!

Fact #2 : Caleb White Presumably Suffered A Cardiac Arrest

George Varnadoe Jr. later said that Caleb White suffered a cardiac arrest, similar to what LeBron James’ son – Bronny James, almost died from recently.

24 hours ago, my grandson, Caleb White collapsed on the basketball court, went into cardiac arrest and all attempts to resuscitate him failed. This was similar to the illness LaBron [sic] James son experienced as he was working out.

Out family is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support but still in disbelief. Our whole family was really looking forward to his upcoming senior season and afterwards, playing for a D-1 school and then perhaps the NBA.

But ….. it wasn’t mean to be. You see, everything that happens, happens on time, because God wouldn’t allow it to happen, if it wasn’t on time. And so it was with Caleb.

We all have an appointment with God, one that you can’t reschedule. So we must stay ready, because you won’t have time to get ready. Please continue to pray for my family.

Recommended : Did Bronny James Almost Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Fact #3 : Caleb White’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

Even though Caleb White was presumed to have suffered a cardiac arrest (which is a known risk factor for young athletes), his official cause of death has not been confirmed.

On Friday, 11 August 2023, an autopsy was performed on Caleb White to determine his official cause of death.

Until and unless his family, or the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office, reveals the autopsy results, or Caleb White’s official cause of death, anyone who tells you that Caleb White died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : No Evidence Caleb White Has Myocarditis

There is no evidence that Caleb White was suffering from vaccine-induced myocarditis. If he had myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines, it would have developed within days of getting the vaccination.

On top of that, he would have been experiencing symptoms of myocarditis like chest pain, shortness of breath, as well as heart palpitations or a pounding heart. It doesn’t seem likely that he would be able to play basketball without aggravating those symptoms.

Fact #5 : Cardiac Arrest Is Common In Young Athletes

Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly collapse from cardiac arrest. The truth is many young athletes do suddenly collapse from sudden cardiac arrest, and many don’t survive unless they receive medical attention quickly.

The United States alone records over half a million cases of sudden cardiac arrest cases every year – an incidence of about 130 per 100,000 individuals per year. Many people have undiagnosed heart conditions that may not produce noticeable symptoms in daily life, but could result in sudden cardiac arrest at any time.

The risk of developing sudden cardiac arrest increases during strenuous activities, which is why many US states enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators (AED) to be made available in health clubs, gyms, schools, and other public places.

And no, COVID-19 vaccines do NOT cause cardiac arrests, no matter what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Neither can COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from getting cardiac arrests, or dying from them.

Fact #6 : Unknown If Caleb White Was Vaccinated

Despite claims that Caleb White was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that Caleb White ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Caleb White was unvaccinated against COVID-19. After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Caleb White was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Caleb White was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses over a year ago!

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Rab Wardell : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS!

People are still claiming that Rab Wardell died from vaccine SADS, but that’s not true!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-08-06 : Updated with Rab Wardell’s official cause of death and other new details
Originally posted @ 2022-09-03

 

Claim : Rab Wardell – Cause Of Death Was COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s been almost a year since Rab Wardell died suddenly after he won the Scottish MTB XC Championships, but people continue to claim that the cyclist died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are just some examples circulating on social media :

rab wardell death read about rab wardell death cause #vaccine #StoptheShots🙀🙀🙀🙀
This is Mountain biker Rab Wardell speaking on TV last night about winning the Scottish championship 2 days ago.
He’s now dead, 37yrs old, “died in his sleep👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Rab Wardell another victim of the covid vaccine. How about that Fauci ?

RIP Rab. Huge fan. The truth of what the spike proteins from both the virus and the “vaccine” are doing to us is coming out, little by little. Your death will not be in vain. The truth is slowly but surely coming out.

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Rab Wardell : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS!

It’s becoming tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or injuries on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Rab Wardell Died From Athlete’s Heart

37 year-old Scottish cyclist Rab Wardell died on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 – just two days after winning the Scottish MTB XC Championships, and hours after appearing on BBC Scotland’s The Nine programme to talk about that victory.

Almost immediately, anti-vaccination activists started claiming that he died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

The next day, his wife – Katie Archibald – spoke out, explaining that Rab Wardell died from a cardiac arrest he suffered while they were in bed together.

I think you’ve heard that Rab died yesterday morning. I still don’t understand what’s happened; if this is real; why he’d be taken now – so healthy and happy.

He went into cardiac arrest while we were lying in bed. I tried and tried, and the paramedics arrived within minutes, but his heart stopped and they couldn’t bring him back.

Mine stopped with it. I love him so much and need him here with me. I need him here so badly, but he’s gone. I can’t describe this pain.

Almost a year later – on 31 July 2023, Katie revealed Rab Wardell’s official cause of death – hypertrophy of the left ventricle, which is also known as athlete’s heart. She wondered if Wardell might still be alive if he had not returned to elite level competition.

Maybe if he had just stayed being a bit inconsistent, a bit s—…

Fact #2 : Rab Wardell Was Likely Fully-Vaccinated

While there is no direct evidence that Rab Wardell was vaccinated against COVID-19, he travelled a fair bit in 2021 – mostly to Europe and Canada.

The European Union and Canada both require non-residents to be fully-vaccinated. While it is possible to enter with a vaccine exemption, it is far more likely that Rab Wardell was fully-vaccinated.

Recommended : Young Athletes At High Risk Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest!

Fact #3 : Rab Wardell Did Not Get Pericarditis From Vaccine

A number of blogs posted claimed that Rab Wardell suffered a serious adverse event after getting his second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in the summer of 2021, after which he attended a rally in Washington DC to speak up against the vaccine :

Following his second dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine last summer, Warner suffered a serious adverse event and was diagnosed with pericarditis. Subsequently, at a rally in Washington DC, he opened up about his experience in front of thousands of rallygoers.

“We were advocating for some acknowledgment and support for people whose lives have been affected by emergency use authorized vaccines.

I hope you can hear my message and understand why I decided to advocate for this cause. It was not something I had planned or wanted to do, but the truth needed to be revealed,” Warner said in an Instagram post.

There are a few problems with that claim.

  • the quote appears to be referring to someone called Warner, not Wardell.
  • Rab Wardell never travelled the United States since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
  • Rab Wardell never said he suffered pericarditis from any COVID-19 vaccine.
  • I could find no such post on Rab Wardell’s Instagram.

In October 2021, Rab Wardell was in Italy for the Marathon World Championships when he shared that it was the first time he flew overseas since the pandemic began.

After he returned from Italy, he mostly stayed in Scotland and only travelled to Mallorca and London. In other words, he cannot be that “Warner” who spoke out against vaccines in a Washington D.C. rally in the summer of 2021.

Wardell also shared that he contracted COVID-19 in May 2021, but never once mentioned that he suffered from pericarditis when he detailed his last 18 months since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Such an adverse event would have materially affected his training and put him out of action for a few weeks. Yet, he had no issues preparing for the Marathon World Championships.

Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause SADS

After billions of doses have been administered, there is still no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause SADS. In fact, this is a rather ludicrous claim as SADS was first documented in 1977 – long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented!

SADS also occurs at a rate of 0.12 to 0.21 per 100,000 people every single year. In other words, approximately 9,000 to 16,000 people die from SADS every single year, before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Despite what anti-vaccination activists may tell you – SADS is not a new vaccine-related syndrome.

SADS is usually caused by an abnormal heart rhythm that leads to a cardiac arrest. That’s why it can be prevented by implanting a cardioverter-defribillator.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Rab Wardell was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses many months ago.

He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #6 : Deaths / Injuries From COVID-19 Vaccines Can Be Proven

Despite anti-vaccination activists chalking up celebrity deaths to the vaccine; death or injury from rare vaccine adverse effects like anaphylaxis, myocarditis and VITT can be proven.

Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) from Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines happens within minutes. That’s why people are asked to wait for 15-30 minutes after getting the vaccine. People who get an anaphylactic shock will require an epinephrine shot to quickly relieve it.

Vaccine-induced myocarditis has distinct histopathology findings that are different from typical myocarditis, so a pathologist will be able to determine if the myocarditis was caused by the vaccines or otherwise.

Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) is very specific to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. It is also easily differentiated by its unique combination of blood clots in large veins of the brains, abdomen and lungs, together with low platelet counts leading to bleeding tendencies.

Fact #7 : Many Athletes Die Unexpectedly Every Year

What many of us do not realise is that many athletes die unexpectedly every year, and the number has been steadily increasing every year.

This chart from the Maron study shows a progressive rise in sudden death reports of 6% per year, from 1980 to 2006.

In fact, the number of sudden deaths in young and fit athletes more than quadrupled from 1980 to 2006!

This debunks the claim that such a rise in sudden death must be due to the COVID-19 vaccine, which obviously did not exist back then.

Read more : Did Hundreds Of Athletes Die Of COVID-19 Vaccine Effects?!

Fact #8 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Even prominent antivaxxer Steve Kirsch is healthy and well, despite being fully-vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fact #9 : COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims Often Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing athlete deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, most claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false.

Did KJ Hamler Get Pericarditis From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Was Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler benched after developing pericarditis caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : KJ Hamler Developed Pericarditis From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Right after news broke that KJ Hamler was benched after a pericarditis diagnosis, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the Denver Broncos wide receiver developed pericarditis from the COVID-19 vaccine doses he received!

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

No Evidence KJ Hamler Developed Pericarditis From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : KJ Hamler Has Mild Pericarditis

KJ Hamler (born Kahlee Jacoby Hamler on July 8, 1999) is a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos who made his NFL debut in the 2020 season.

On Monday, 31 July 2023, KJ Hamler announced that he was diagnosed with mild pericarditis, after suffering some chest pains while working out.

He pointed out that he feels great physically, but has to take a break to treat the pericarditis. He is reportedly expected to miss weeks, not months, due to this pericarditis diagnosis.

After feeling some chest pains while working out on the break before camp started, I got everything checked out and was diagnosed with mild heart irritation, called pericarditis. I’ve got a great treatment plan with medicine and am taking a quick break to get this all taken care of so I can get back to doing what I love.

I will be back on the field—better and stronger than ever—as soon as possible this season! I feel great physically and this is very frustrating for me to deal with. I know most of you have heard or know of my story and these past few years what I’ve been going through on and off the field.

I’m so grateful for my teammates & coaches. Appreciate the support from the Broncos Country and encouragement I have been receiving. This is something to bring awareness to anybody. So anyone with chest pains please get checked out by your doctor!

Fact #2 : Broncos Waived KJ Hamler With NFI

In a sign that KJ Hamler’s pericarditis is mild and will resolve quickly, the Denver Broncos are reportedly waiving him on a non-football illness (NFI) designation.

This is a procedural move which allows KJ Hamler to return in the 2023 season. If they placed him on reserve, or the non-football injury list instead, he could end up not playing for the entire season.

KJ Hamler had only just recovered from surgery to treat a torn pectoral muscle he sustained in March while training on his own in the offseason.

Recommended : Young Athletes At High Risk Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest!

Fact #3 : Pericarditis Is Most Commonly Caused By Infections

Pericarditis is the inflammation of the pericardium – the fibrous sac covering the heart. Most people only know it as a known but rare side effect of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna.

What you may not know is that pericarditis is most commonly caused by viral infections, followed by bacterial infections (commonly tuberculosis), heart attack, autoimmune diseases, and chest trauma.

And yes – COVID-19 infections can cause pericarditis, and acute pericarditis is a major clinical manifestation of long COVID syndrome.

Fact #4 : Pericarditis Existed Long Before COVID-19 Vaccines

In addition – people have suffered from pericarditis long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented. On average, about 40 per 100,000 people develop pericarditis every year.

An August 2022 study showed that an average of 125,209 patients every year were diagnosed with pericarditis in the United States from 2007 to 2016. Males between the ages of 20 and 50 – like KJ Hamler – are most commonly affected.

Fact #5 : KJ Hamler Was Fully-Vaccinated Two Years Ago!

It is interesting to note that when people share screenshots showing that KJ Hamler was fully-vaccinated, they crop out the date. And it’s easy to see why.

KJ Hamler was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, receiving his second dose in the last week of July 2021 – TWO YEARS ago!

Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

KJ Hamler cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Recommended : Did Joesthetics / Jo Lindner Die From COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Fact #7 : KJ Hamler Got Infected With COVID-19

KJ Hamler tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, August 3, 2021. That was just after he received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

While many anti-vaccination activists are saying that this proves that the vaccine isn’t effective, the truth is you need to wait about 14 days for your body to develop the necessary antibodies after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

In fact, KJ Hamler pointed out to reporters back in August 2021 that he was not yet 14 days clear of the second shot.

I should also point out that the COVID-19 vaccines are not designed to block infections. They were designed to prevent you from developing severe COVID-19, or dying from COVID-19.

Fact #8 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all sudden deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists…

Fact #1 : Antwun Echols Died From Type 1 Diabetes

Antwun Echols (born 4 December 1970) was a former American boxer who was the world middleweight contender in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was known by his nickname, Kid Dynamite.

On Sunday, 2 July 2023, Antwun Echols died of complications from Type 1 diabetes. His death and cause of death was confirmed by his daughter, Antwunette Echols, on 5 July 2023

Fact #2 : Type 1 Diabetes Is An Autoimmune Disease

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas that produces insulin. Because insulin is needed to regulate blood glucose levels, this results in hyperglycaemia – high blood sugar levels.

Type 1 diabetes typically develops in children or young adults, resulting in the need for lifelong insulin injections to manage the hyperglycaemia.

Type 1 diabetes is also primarily genetic in origin. That means the vast majority of people with Type 1 diabetes have a genetic predisposition.

To be clear – there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause Type 1 diabetes.

Fact #3 : His Daughter Rubbished Claims Of Vaccine Injury

On 19 July 2023, after the Died Suddenly account on Twitter posted about Antwun Echols’ death, his daughter – Antwunette Echols called the rumour “false“, and said that her father “did not pass away due to a COVID vaccine“.

He passed away due to complications of Diabetes 1. The family would like for these false allegations to be stopped and taken down.

As of Friday, 21 July 2023, the Died Suddenly account on Twitter has not taken down its post. Neither have other people who claimed or suggested that Antwun Echols died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #4 : Antwun Echols Was Likely Unvaccinated Against COVID-19

More importantly, Antwun Echols was very likely unvaccinated against COVID-19. His daughter, Antwunette Echols, said that she had no recollection her father ever received a COVID-19 vaccine.

In fact, I don’t believe he ever had taken one [COVID-19 vaccine]

This won’t be a big surprise, since the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Unless Died Suddenly and the other anti-vaccination activists are willing and able to prove that Antwun Echols received the COVID-19 vaccine, and was killed by it, they are likely lying to you.

Fact #5 : Claims Of COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Often Proven False

Most claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next death or tragedy…

Did Lilly Kimbell Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Did former University of Georgia tennis star Lilly Kimbell die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Lilly Kimbell Died From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Lilly Kimbell died suddenly, people immediately claimed that the 31 year-old former Georgia Bulldogs tennis star died from COVID-19 vaccine SADS!

Vince Clements : DIED SUDDENLY/CARDIAC ARREST: Lilly Kimbell, 31, Former Georgia Bulldogs Tennis Player.
THE DAY OF RECKONING IS COMING!

Jazziette Devereaux : Another one. Cardiac. 😢Is this from the vaccines? So many young athletes dying suddenly. #DiedSuddendly

Dr. Alejandro Diaz : Too many young people are dying suddenly around the globe. Lilly Kimbell a former Georgia Bulldogs tennis player, died suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday from a heart attack at age 31. Something is extremely wrong RIP 🙏🏼 #awake #DiedSuddendly

Recommended : Died Suddenly : Anti-Vaccination Movie Lies Exposed!

 

Truth : Lilly Kimbell Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Lilly Kimbell Was Former Georgia Bulldogs Tennis Star

A native of New Braunfels, Texas, Lilly Kimbell became a member of the University of Georgia 2011-2014 tennis squad. During her time with the University of Georgia Bulldogs, Kimbell registered 197 combined wins – 109 doubles, and 88 singles. She also holds the record for the most consecutive doubles wins in a season.

Lilly Kimbell earned her bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Science in 2014, followed by a masters in Sport Management in 2016. Since then, she has served as an assistant tennis coach at Eastern Illinois, as well as St. Mary’s in San Antonio. She also worked for the Addision Group, Supreme Lending and Paycom in the Dallas area.

On Tuesday, February 7, 2023, the Georgia Bulldogs team announced that she passed away two days ago – on Sunday, February 5.

Fact #2 : Lilly Kimbell Died From A Heart Attack

Claims that Lilly Kimbell died from a cardiac arrest are unfounded.

According to several family members, Lilly Kimbell had existing health issues that began with “a kidney issue“, and she suffered a massive heart attack from her existing health issues.

Her father, Tim, as well as paramedics who arrived, performed CPR on her, but by the time she was taken to the hospital, it was determined that her brain was too damaged from a lack of oxygen, and she was eventually taken off life support.

Her cousin, Angie Cozzetto, posted this on February 6, 2023:

Please pray for my sweet cousin, Lilly Fern. She was taken off life support today. Our whole family could use your prayers as we are devastated for this huge and unexpected loss 😢💔

From my Aunt Judy—

It is my horrible duty to let everyone know that our daughter, Lilly Kimbell has passed away. She had some health issues that started with a kidney issue and ended up with a massive heart attack resulting from those issues. Tim tried to do CPR, as did the ambulance people. By the time they got to the hospital she had been without oxygen for too long. Her brain was too damaged and we let her go today.

I will not be able to answer any personal messages because we are too traumatized. I just wanted everyone to know. She loved all of her friends, as do I. She is an organ donor for multiple recipients, and so someone will be now seeing with her eyesight. It’s really a shame they couldn’t capture her doubles ability. Love you all.

Her sister, Samantha Gillas posted this on February 7, 2023:

Yesterday heaven gained another angel. My sister Lilly passed away. She had some kidney issue we don’t know how it happened but ended up with a massive heart attack. Her brain was without oxygen for too long and we had to let her go yesterday. I really don’t know what to say. I am lost for words and in complete shock, but at the same time I have so much I could say. It all seems so surreal and I’m just waiting to wake up from this bad dream and I’ll see you coming downstairs.

Fact #3 : Heart Disease Is Common With Kidney Disease

It is unknown what kidney disease Lilly Kimbell suffered from, but her family has said that she had existing kidney disease, which would suggest a chronic kidney disease.

People with kidney disease are more likely to get heart disease… and die from it. In fact, heart disease is the most common cause of death for people with kidney disease!

Fact #4 : University Of Georgia Never Had A Vaccine Mandate

Some of those who blame the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for Lilly Kimbell’s death are ignoring two critical points:

  1. Lilly Kimbell left the University of Georgia by 2014, or 2016 at the latest.
  2. The University of Georgia (UGA) does not have a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The University System of Georgia and the University of Georgia strongly encourage you to get vaccinated. Pursuant to state and University System of Georgia (USG) rules, we cannot ask our students for proof of their vaccination status, and we should not treat vaccinated and un-vaccinated individuals differently unless dictated by law or applicable guidance.

Even if Lilly Kimbell was still a student or a faculty member, she would not have been required to get the COVID-19 vaccine. But the truth is – she left UGA years ago, and had been living in Dallas, Texas.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Lilly Kimbell Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Lilly Kimbell was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that she died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Unless her family reveals her vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Lilly Kimbell was fully-vaccinated and died from the vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims Often Proven False

Claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine are often proven false. Here is the latest dozen cases I fact checked recently.

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Was CGTN Caught Faking The Peng Shuai Email?

Was CGTN caught faking the Peng Shuai email that allegedly refuted her claims of sexual assault by former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli?

Take a look at the email, and see if you can spot what they did wrong!

 

What Peng Shuai Email? A Quick Update!

On 2 November 2021, Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai accused retired Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of pressuring her into having sex on Weibo (China’s version of Twitter).

On 14 November 2021, Steve Simon – the WTA Chairman and CEO released a public statement calling for her allegations to be “investigated fully, fairly, transparently and without censorship“.

On 18 November 2021, CGTN posted on Twitter what they claimed was an email to Steve Simon, the WTA Chairman and CEO.

In that email, Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai allegedly refuted her earlier claims of sexual assault by former Chinese vice premier Zhang Gaoli.

Hello everyone this is Peng Shuai.

Regarding the recent news released on the official website of the WTA, the content has not been confirmed or verified by myself and it was released without my consent. The news in that release, including the allegation of sexual assault, is not true. I’m not missing, nor am I unsafe. I’ve just been resting at home and everything is fine. Thank you again for caring about me.

If the WTA publishes any more news about me, please verify it with me, and release it with my consent. As a professional tennis player, I thank you all for your companionship and consideration. I hope to promote Chinese tennis with you all if I have the chance in the future. I hope Chinese tennis will become better and better.

Once again, thank you for your consideration.

 

Was CGTN Caught Faking The Peng Shuai Email?

At first glance, the email that CGTN posted looked like your typical “written under duress” note, with awkward language. But who can refute it since Peng Shuai has not been seen since making her allegations?

Unfortunately, CGTN screwed up, by accidentally making TWO mistakes :

  • addressing the email to “everyone“, instead of Steve Simon, and
  • posting the screenshot with a visible cursor!

Hello Everyone???

This email was supposedly written by Peng Shuai as a private message to Steve Simon, in response to his public statement.

Yet, the writer addressed it to “everyone”, instead of Steve Simon, the WTA Chairman and CEO.

If this was meant to be a public statement, Peng Shuai would have emailed it to media outlets worldwide, not just Steve Simon.

CGTN also framed it as a private email from Peng Shuai to Steve Simon, the contents of which they “learned” after it was sent.

Yet, not only was it addressed to “everyone”, the entire email sounds like it was written for a mass audience and not just Steve Simon, with phrases like :

  • I thank you all
  • I hope to promote Chinese tennis with you all

A Blinking Cursor???

The presence of the cursor clearly tells us that the email was being written when that screenshot was taken. It won’t appear if you are merely reading the email.

There are several possibilities for a cursor to appear in the screenshot :

  1. Peng Shuai wrote it and sent CGTN a screenshot of the draft, instead of CCing them the email like what anyone else would have done. The presence of the active cursor meant that the email was still being written, and may not be the final version.
  2. Someone punked CGTN by sending them a fabricated email, which they posted without verifying with Peng Shuai herself.
  3. The email was fabricated by someone at CGTN pretending to be Peng Shuai. That is the only way CGTN can possibly take a screenshot of an email with an active cursor.

Now, it is not possible to determine with certainty that CGTN faked the Peng Shuai email. It could be someone else. But it’s not hard to see why no one believes that the email was really written by Peng Shuai.

No matter how you slice and dice it, that pesky cursor makes the Peng Shuai email incredibly suspicious… or as our younger readers may say – very sus…

WTA Chairman and CEO, Steve Simon, said, “I have a hard time believing that Peng Shuai actually wrote the email we received or believes what is attributed to her“.

Peng Shuai vs. Zhang Gaoli : A Quick Primer!

For those who missed the developing scandal involving the Chinese tennis star, here’s a quick summary…

On 2 November 2021, Peng Shuai accused retired Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault in a 1,600 word post on her official Weibo account.

Written like an open letter to Zhang Gaoli, she claimed that they had an intermittent relationship over 10 years.

“Why did you have to come back to me, took me to your home to force me to have sex with you? Yes, I did not have any evidence, and it was simply impossible to have evidence”

“I couldn’t describe how disgusted I was, and how many times I asked myself am I still a human? I feel like a walking corpse. Every day I was acting, which person is the real me?”

“I know that for someone of your eminence, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, you said you were not afraid. But even if it’s just me, like an egg hitting the stone, a moth flying into flames, courting self-destruction, I would tell the truth about us.”

Her post was quickly deleted from Weibo – in less than 10 minutes, but Chinese netizens took screenshots of it. They were shared widely, but were soon censored.

Peng Shuai has not been seen since she posted her accusations on Weibo.

As a result, tennis fans and netizens in general are incensed, with calls to #BoycottBeijingOlympics and #BoycottBeijing2022 increasing on social media.

Kaspersky Tips On Beating Hackers During Euro 2016

June 13, 2016 – On Friday, 10 June, thousands of companies across Europe and the rest of the world are likely to discover they have more remote workers than they did the day before, as the Euro 2016 football tournament gets underway. Fans trying to keep on top of work using mobile devices while surrounded by crowds of strangers, insecure public Wi-Fi networks and the distraction of a match will be immensely vulnerable to cyberthreats. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that they and their employers can take to stay safe.

The Euro 2016 football tournament, hosted by France, brings together 24 teams for 51 matches. Millions of fans will be watching the games in stadiums, bars and at public screenings. Employers have been urged to let staff work more flexibly or from home so they can watch key national games, but some employees may take matters into their own hands, working from mobile devices while watching a game with fellow supporters. The IT security risks of such behaviour are immense. Neither employers nor employees may be fully aware of or prepared for just how vulnerable they are about to become.

To help everyone keep important business data safe, regardless of where they are, Kaspersky Lab has drawn up a short essential guide:

 

10 Things Remote-Working Fans Can Learn From The Players On The Pitch

1. Take responsibility for your own performance

A recent Kaspersky Lab study into ransomware found that less than 4% of adults in the US[i] would mind if work documents on their device were lost through cybercrime, while 77% would panic if they lost financial info. Indifference doesn’t lead to secure behaviour. If you are planning to work on the move, you need to feel responsible for the safety of the business information you handle.

2. Everyone is watching you

Logging into a device where anyone can look over your shoulder and make a note of your passwordor the work you’re doing – so-called ‘visual hacking’ – makes it easy for others to break into your device or steal information. Keep your data to yourself.

3. Keep your eye on the ball

Phishing and ransomware emails look increasingly convincing and can even appear to come from a colleague. If the message is unexpected, contact the sender directly, and never click on an attachment or a link in an email from someone you don’t know.

4. Don’t reveal your game plan

Don’t transmit anything unless you know it’s encrypted. With WhatsApp and Apple’s iMessage service now encrypting communications end-to-end as standard, email is rapidly becoming the most vulnerable form of business communications[ii]. Use the most secure channel you have access to.

5. Beware Man-in-the-Middle attacks

Using a free, public Wi-Fi network to stay in touch with work is extremely high-risk. An attacker can easily insert themselves into the network and spy on or intercept all your communications. They can do the same between an email and your business server[iii]. End-to-end encryption prevents this – so if you don’t have it, don’t email till you’re somewhere secure or use a VPN (virtual private network).

[adrotate banner=”5″]

6. Prepare for the worst

Employers unprepared for the sudden increase in remote working may not have the most appropriate security installed on work devices, let alone employees’ personal devices. If it’s too late to get this installed, then at the very least don’t leave home without the most up-to-date version of device software installed. Mobile devices are not immune to cyberattack: in 2015, Kaspersky Lab prevented nearly three million attempts to infect mobile devices[iv] with a Trojan.

7. The referee can make mistakes

Websites, network service providers, operating systems etc. do their best to provide protection or alerts: such as the new malware and phishing website warnings introduced by Bing[v]. However, the baddies are increasingly cunning and if there’s a point of weakness, they’ll find it. Confine your remote work to things that are not business critical or sensitive.

8. But don’t blame the referee for all mistakes

Sometimes things go wrong; devices get broken, lost or stolen, or affected by malware or ransomware. The best thing to do is to come clean and let your IT department know immediately so they can take appropriate steps, such as blocking or remote-wiping the device, or isolating the malware before the infection takes hold.

9. Don’t make victory easy for the other side

Cybercriminals generally prefer the path of least resistance. Solid security, security updates, a hard-to-crack password, the use of the latest software, a business VPN and encrypted communications all make it harder for an outsider to gain access to your device and business information.

10. But don’t expect to win without trying

Kaspersky Lab has found that only around half (53%) of consumers make use of the security features that come with their device[vi]. To stay ahead of the hackers, you need to get to grips with these security essentials. It’s about focus and commitment, supported by the right equipment. Just like football.

“Euro 2016 should be a celebration of football for fans the world over to enjoy. Sadly, occasions where people are more relaxed about device and data security can quickly become a happy hunting ground for hackers. Cybercriminals won’t hesitate to pounce on an under-protected football supporter trying to work remotely. A few basic precautions before, during and after the match will help employers and their workforce to stay safe – leaving them free to enjoy the glorious spectacle of sport,” said David Emm, Principal Security Researcher, Kaspersky Lab.

SAP Gives Deutscher Fussball-Bund Tactical Edge In Euro 2016

Technology and sports, while not altogether a new thing has so far remained a relatively small trend. However, during the World Cup 2014, SAP and the German team made a big bang and took football to the next level.

The SAP Match Insights solution for football that ran on the HANA platform facilitated the analysis of training, preparation and tournaments. It also gave coaches the unprecedented ability to process vast amounts of data to find and assess key situations in each match to improve player and team performance.

Now come 2016, SAP and DFB are looking to take it to the next level at the European Championship with new technology from SAP. For the upcoming European Championship, SAP has helped DFB create a game plan which includes the development of two new prototype technologies exclusively for DFB and powered by the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

“Digitalization affects our entire economy and society, and is also entering the world of sports. SAP and DFB teamed up to spearhead this digital transformation and to take football to the next level,” said Bernd Leukert, Member of the Executive Board, SAP. “With SAP Challenger Insights and the penalty insights function for SAP Sports One, we are putting the power of real-time data and information directly into the hands of coaches and players.”

[adrotate banner=”5″]

 

HANA Cloud to provide unique tactical insight

The first, SAP Challenger Insights, helps the team prepare for each of their European Championship matches by providing data driven insights surrounding an opponent’s offensive and defensive tendencies, formations, and more. Accessed through the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, coaches can review the opposing team’s tactical characteristics and create an assumed match plan. The data is available through iPads that DFB players have in their lockers prior to a match or during halftime and delivers the assumed game plan of the opposing team so the team can familiarize themselves with opponent tendencies and reference past video replays.

Secondly, the Penalty Insights Function in SAP Sports One, a new functionality, powered by the SAP HANA Cloud Platform, provides goalkeepers and goalkeeping coaches with insights into the tactical behavior related to penalty kicks of all teams and players competing in the tournament. The team can search the top five or more players most likely to take penalty kicks, the areas of the goal they usually aim at, specific shot characteristics such as the player’s run, and also watch corresponding video clips in real time.

“Together with SAP, we have created a match plan that puts the power of real-time data and information into our hands and helps us gain a competitive edge,” said Oliver Bierhoff, Manager of the German National Football team and SAP ambassador.

Additionally, building off the success of the Football World Championships in 2014, SAP made extensive enhancements to previously released technologies that played a significant role in the German National Team’s success resulting in their 4th Championship.
Given the stunning success of their prior co-operative efforts, there is no doubt that many will be eager to see how much farther technology can raise the bar in this sport that has captured the hearts of millions of fans worldwide.
