Did two university students get cancer, specifically leukaemia, from this plant?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Two University Students Got Cancer From This Plant!
This photo and warning keeps going viral on WhatsApp, and social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook:
My daughters Sis- in- law age 31 died yesterday cos of leukemia. She got leukemia while doing master in botanical at USM. Research on the plant above. Her friend doing the same research also got CA and died last year. USM and Health Ministery proved that these two uni students got leukemia due to the plants above. Action (perhatian) If u have these plants, destroy it by burning it before it flowers. Pass the info to the group to remind the danger of this plant. Don’t know how true but better be safe than sorry. 🙏🏻
Truth : No University Students Got Cancer From This Plant!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp, and social media platforms, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : This Has Been Circulating Since 2015
First, let me just point out that this viral warning and photo have been circulating for many years now, at least since December 2015.
Like many of such viral fake news, it keeps reappearing and going viral every year or so.
Fact #2 : USM Refuted The Claims As Fake News
When the photo and story first went viral in December 2015, University Sains Malaysia (USM) was inundated with queries about it. In response, the USM Media and Public Relations Centre director Mohamad Abdullah publicly refuted the claims, and said that it was “false news”.
We have been bombarded with many queries on this. We would like to urge those posting this up to prove their claims so we can conduct an official investigation.
USM would like to plead to all to stop spreading the false news on the matter immediately.
Needless to say, no one ever stepped forward to share with USM which 31 year-old university student of theirs died from cancer, after doing research on the plant.
The viral message never identified the plant, but after a close examination and reverse image searches, the plant appears to be the Zanzibar Gem (Zamioculcas zamiifolia).
While some fact checkers have claimed that this is the money plant (Epipremnum aureum), that’s incorrect. The leaves of money plant have light and dark green patterns, while the Zanzibar Gem (also known as ZZ) has even green leaves.
Fact #4 : Neither Plants Cause Cancer
Both the money plant and Zanzibar Gem are considered poisonous houseplants, and toxic to humans and pets. However, neither the money plant or Zanzibar Gem cause cancer.
The money plant is known to be toxic to cats and dogs due to insoluble raphides. It is also mildly toxic to humans if consumed, due to its calcium oxalate content. However, it does not cause cancer.
The Zanzibar Gem is also toxic to humans and pets, because it contains calcium oxalate. However, it also does not cause cancer.
Incidentally, both plants are toxic to consume and irritating to touch at all times, not just when they are flowering as the viral message claims.

The Malaysia Education Minister just announced that schools will begin in January again, from 2026 onwards!
Malaysia Schools To Start In January Again From 2026!
On Tuesday, 23 May 2023, the Malaysia Minister of Education, Fadhlina Sidek, announced that schools will once again start their academic sessions in January, from 2026 onwards.
The Education Minister said that the Malaysia Education Ministry (KPM) has initiated efforts to restore the old academic calendar which begins in January, and ends in December.
The 2024/2025 academic calendar is being brought forward to start in February 2025.
The 2026 academic calendar will then begin in January 2026.
I’m pleased to announce that the start of the school session will return to January in 2026. The ministry hopes that, with the announcement, all financial and economic aspects can be planned earlier by all relevant parties starting now.
The planning of family holidays, festivals and vacation days for teachers, as we announced in 10 initiatives on Teacher’s Day, can be arranged based on the school session that will be gazetted.
Not Possible For Malaysia Schools To Start In January 2025!
The minister said that returning the school session to January next year is not possible as it would conflict with major examinations, school holidays, as well as floods.
The ministry must ensure that the teaching and academic session runs in a period of 26 to 32 weeks to ensure an optimum learning period in a year. Due to the changes (from the COVID-19 pandemic), the schooling session for 2023/2024 academic calendar started in March.
The changes to the academic calendar of the school session allows the school to plan and implement rehabilitation, strengthening and enrichment activities intensively to increase the students’ readiness to follow the next school year.
The minister had earlier pointed out in March that bringing forward the academic calendar to January 2025 was not possible as the ministry had to comply with various requirements under the Education Act 1996. She also said that it needs to avoid disrupting the examination schedule for STPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia), STPM (Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia), and STAM (Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia). There is also the need to account for local economic factors, and the year-end floods.

Truth : David Burleson Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : David Wayne Burleson Died In His Sleep
David Wayne Burleson was born on February 6, 2009 to Patrick Burleson and Amy Lantz of West Blocton, Alabama.
They woke up on the morning of April 25, 2023 to find David unresponsive in bed. They immediately started CPR, and paramedics who arrived worked on him for over an hour, but never got his heart started. David Wayne Burleson was just 14 years old when he died.
We woke up this morning to find David unresponsive this morning. Started CPR immediately and they worked on him for over an hour. Nobody could get a heartbeat back. They gave him multiples of everything.
Our son, David Wayne Burleson, is dead at 14 years old.
There is no reason as of yet. No OD, no allergic reaction, no signs of anything, just a dead teenager. Prayers are appreciated.
Fact #2 : David Burleson’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown
The exact cause of death for David Wayne Burleson is currently unknown. His parents, and the medical examiner’s office, did not reveal his cause of death.
That does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or any other cause of death. It simply means – we, the public, do NOT know his cause of death.
Until his family, or the medical examiner’s office, reveals his cause of death, anyone who claims that David Wayne Burleson died from this or that cause is likely lying to you!
Fact #3 : David Burleson Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19!
It is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blatantly claim that David Wayne Burleson died from the COVID-19 vaccine, when they had no evidence he was ever vaccinated against COVID-19!
In fact, his mother, Amy Lantz posted publicly on April 29, 2023, that she and David Wayne Burleson were never vaccinated against COVID-19!
I can NOT believe I am having to make this post!
There are truly just some fucking heartless, idiotic, live with their head up their ass people in this world!
My son did not have the Covid vaccination, nor does it fucking matter if he did or did not! I don’t give a shit about your opinion on this subject! I am grieving my first born child!
This is for all the people that have been contacting me and feel like they want to contact me about whether he had the vaccine or not!
FUCKING DONT!
I JUST LOST MY BABY BOY, MY FIRST CHILD, MY ONLY SON! I DONT GIVE A MOTHER FUCKING FLYING DIP SHIT ABOUT YOUR DAMN AGENDA OR BELIEFS OR DATA OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO USE MY SONS DEATH FOR!
I have had multiple people in the U.S. and other countries contact me over this shit! Yall go the fuck away!
Fact #4 : David Burleson’s Family Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Either!
Just in case anti-vaccination activists intend to suggest that David Wayne Burleson may have been injured by “vaccine shedding”, not only is that a fictional concept, his family was not vaccinated either!
Please don’t ask grieving parents about if their child was vaccinated so you can blame it on the vaccine. That is gaining something for your political standpoint, especially with your stupid profile picture!
I am certainly allowed to lash out at whoever I want to, about anything I want to! I JUST LOST MY SON! lam most certainly allowed to lash out at all the idiotic inconsiderate fucking conspiracy theorists who don’t even know my son or my family, who think it’s a fucking fantastic wonderful idea to ask if my son was vaccinated because they believe the vaccine is killing people and want to have more ‘data and proof’ it kills!
If you were truly JUST sorry for his death and not looking for some kind of data use, you wouldn’t have asked a grieving mother that question!
I did not get the vaccine myself nor did I allow my kids to, so go the fuck away! You aren’t sorry for my loss, you all just want data!
Fact #5 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists exploiting the deaths / injuries of children to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

Did 6 year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Anastasia Marie Weaver Died Suddenly From Vaccine!
Anti-vaccination activists are claiming on social media that 6 year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver died suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine side effects!
Died Suddenly : TRAGIC: 6-year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver #diedsuddenly at her home. Her father found her dead in her bed.
Her mother is a nurse and she heavily pushed the vaccine on Facebook. Anastasia did receive at least two vaccines according to the mother’s social media. 💉
William Makis MD : Ohio – 6 yo Anastasia Marie Weaver died suddenly in her sleep after 2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines on Jan.25, 2023 (mom is a nurse)
Jan.2022: my girls had no side effects from 2nd shot Jul.2022: still having seizures Sep.2022: COVID-19 Jan.25, 2023: died
From left, Andrew Weaver, Caitlin Weaver and Jessica Day-Weaver hold a ceramic hand print of Anastasia at their home in Boardman, Ohio.
No Evidence Anastasia Marie Weaver Died Suddenly From Vaccine!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Died In Her Sleep
Anastasia Marie Weaver (born November 11, 2016 in Boardman, Ohio to Andrew and Jessica Day-Weaver) was a 6 year-old kindergartener at the Robinwood Lane School.
On the morning of Wednesday, January 25, 2023, her father discovered that she was not breathing. Her mother performed CPR on her until the paramedic arrived, and took her to the emergency room at the Akron Children’s Hospital.
Despite the best efforts of her mother (who is a registered nurse at that hospital), the paramedics and the hospital staff, she was pronounced dead at the hospital with her family by her side.
Jessica Day-Weaver : This is the hardest post I’ve ever had to make. This morning at 6am Anastasia passed away. Andrew came home and checked on her and she wasn’t breathing. I did cpr [sic] until the ambulance came then we went to childrens [sic].
She was pronounced 15 min after getting there. We aren’t sure what happened. We are in shock and devastated. As soon as we have any updated we will post them.
Fact #2 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Had History Of Severe Health Problems
What those anti-vaccination activists don’t mention is that Anastasia Marie Weaver was born prematurely, and had severe health issues all her life.
She suffered from epilepsy and asthma, and is often at the hospital struggling with respiratory viruses. She was also on medication for her chronic conditions long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
Anti-vaccination activists are sharing screenshots of Jessica Day-Weaver posting that Anastasia suffered seizures. The truth is – she had been suffering from seizures long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
Fact #3 : Anastasia Marie Weaver’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown
It is important to point that even her doctors do not know why she died, although they expect it was related to her chronic conditions.
An autopsy was conducted to determine her official cause of death, and until that is released, anyone who tells you that Anastasia Marie Weaver died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.
The doctors haven’t given us any information other than it was due to all of her chronic conditions. … There was never a thought that it could be from the vaccine.
Fact #4 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Was Fully-Vaccinated In 2011
Jessica Day-Weaver’s Facebook posts show that Anastasia Marie Weaver was fully-vaccinated by December 2021.
She received her first dose of the vaccine on November 11, 2021, and should have received her second dose by the first week of December 2021.
Claims that she received her second dose in January 2022 appear to be a misunderstanding of her mother’s post.
Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Anastasia Marie Weaver was fully-vaccinated more than a year before her death. She 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 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Deaths
COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s pneumonia, cardiac arrest or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people and children can and will suffer and die from other illnesses.
It is ludicrous for anyone to claim, without evidence, that this little girl died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.
Fact #7 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists exploiting the deaths / injuries of children to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

The Malaysia Ministry of Education just updated the 2023 / 2024 school term + holiday calendar! Here is what you need to know!
Updated @ 2023-04-11 : Added extra school holiday for Hari Raya 2023.
Updated @ 2023-04-06 : Added extra school holidays for 2023 / 2024 school term. Originally posted @ 2022-12-11
2023 / 2024 Malaysia School Term To Begin In March!
On 29 August 2022, the former Malaysia Minister of Education, Dr. Radzi Jidin, announced that the 2023 school term will begin in March as scheduled.
He said that the decision was made after taking into account factors like the possibility of Northeast monsoon floods in the East Coast states at the end of the year, and the long interval before students could resume their studies after finishing their Sijil Pelajaran (SPM) examination.
By maintaining the start of the 2023 school term in March, students will not have to wait too long to continue their studies, allowing for better learning momentum.
However, the 2023 / 2024 school calendar for Malaysia was only confirmed on 10 December 2022, with an additional delay of one week.
2023 / 2024 Malaysia School Term + Holiday Calendar!

The opening of the 2023 / 2024 school year in Malaysia was delayed by one week, to ensure the smooth running of the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations.

The Malaysia Ministry of Education just declared an extra school holiday for Hari Raya 2023!
KPM : April 19 is Special School Holiday for Hari Raya!
On 11 April 2023, the Ministry of Education declared that April 19 would be a special school holiday, in addition to the mid-term holiday which starts on April 20!
This announcement was made by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, in anticipation that Hari Raya Aidilfitri will fall on April 21.
We considered everyone’s views, and (this is) for the sake of everyone, especially teachers and education ministry staff, making plans to go back to their hometowns (for Aidilfitri),” she told reporters at an event today.
This year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri may fall on either April 21 or April 22, depending on the observation of the new moon of Syawal to occur after sunset on April 20.
However, the International Astronomy Centre in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) predicted that the first day of Aidilfitri will fall on April 21.

Did high school football player Andrew Dodson die suddenly 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 : Andrew Dodson Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine Injury!
Right after news broke that Andrew Dodson died suddenly on the field, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the high school football player was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!
Dr. James E. Olsson :KENTUCKY – High School Football Player DEAD at Practice…
“SUDDEN DEATH”… Andrew Dodson died on Monday… Was participating in a “normal football action”…
“You hear of all the concussions, helmet to helmet, from what we’re hearing that was not the case”…
William Makis MD : 17 year old high school football player Andrew Dodson died on April 3, 2023.
He “suffered an injury” during a football practice game last week – he was “participating in normal football action” Many unanswered questions.
Truth : Andrew Dodson Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine Injury!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or injuries on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists…
Fact #1 : Andrew Dodson Did Not Die On The Field
First, let me just clarify the incident behind Andrew Dodson’s tragic death. The 17 year-old Kentucky high school football player collapsed on the field during the Pulaski County varsity football game on Friday, 31 March 2023.
He was taken to the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital in Somerset, and underwent several surgeries. Unfortunately, he was ultimately pronounced dead early Monday morning, 3 April 2023.
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) confirmed his death in a statement posted on Facebook and Twitter.
No words can explain, justify or rationalize tragedies such as these. We only ask for peace and comfort to all around him.
His funeral was held on Thursday, April 6, and Andrew Dodson was later interred in the Somerset Cemetery.
Fact #2 : Andrew Dodson Died From A Head Injury
Andrew Dodson did not die from any COVID-19 vaccine injury. We know this because his father, Alan Dodson, shared how his son died from blunt force trauma.
During that Pulaski County varsity game, Andrew Dodson was tackled by another player, and he hit his head on the ground. Even though he was wearing a helmet, he suffered a severe brain injury, and ultimately died in the hospital.
It was not a violent hit or helmet-to-helmet. It was a simple, clean tackle. His head hit the turf, and Andrew suffered blunt-force trauma to the brain.
He had a major surgery to relieve the pressure and has never awakened. He has been fighting for his life on total life support.
His parents told news outlets that their son was injured during “a very routine play” during practice, and that “no one is to blame“.
Just to be clear – Andrew Dodson’s cause of death was blunt force trauma to his head, and not a COVID-19 vaccine injury. He died from an accident – a head injury during a football game, and not the vaccine!
Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Andrew Dodson suffered a vaccine side effect is likely lying to you.
Fact #4 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine 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, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen that I looked into:
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…
Please help us FIGHT FAKE NEWS by sharing this fact check article out, and please SUPPORT our work!
Don’t forget to protect yourself, and your family, by vaccinating against COVID-19!

Did Utah State wide receiver Josh Davis suddenly collapsed on the field from a COVID-19 vaccine side effect?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Utah State WR Josh Davis Suddenly Collapsed From Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Josh Davis collapsed on the field during practice, people immediately claimed that the Utah State wide receiver was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine.
Steve Kirsch : Have you ever seen so many cardiac arrests among young kids before in your life????
JoeBell : Utah State football player hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest.
It is due to #covidvaccine until proven otherwise. Doctors need access to CDC vaccine database for brand dose 1 2 3 etc. With vaccine myocarditis sports are not allowed because it triggers cardiac arrest.
Utah State football player hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest / poison vaccine 💀☠️
Truth : Josh Davis Did Not Collapse From Vaccine Side Effect!
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 : Josh Davis Collapsed Suddenly During Practice
Josh Davis (born August 13, 2002) is a former Carlsbad high school football player who joined the Utah State University’s Aggies football team in February 2022.
Some people appear to be confusing him with a different Josh Davis (born Joshua Davis on September 21, 1998) who plays for the Weber State Wildcats as a running back.
The Utah State Josh Davis was training with his team at the Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium on Thursday, March 23, 2023, when he suddenly collapsed on the field.
He was immediately treated by the Utah State University (USU) training staff and emergency medical personnel. He was later taken to the Logan Regional Hospital and then the McKay Dee Hospital, where he was stabilised and underwent therapeutic hypothermia to preserve his neurological function.
Although he was initially not identified, Utah State University later issued a statement identifying him as Josh Davis.
Davis, a redshirt freshman wide receiver from Carlsbad, California, collapsed during practice on Thursday and was immediately treated by USU’s athletic training staff, led by Mike Williams, Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, followed by emergency medical personnel, who transported him to Logan Regional Hospital
Davis received initial critical treatment and was stabilized at Logan Regional Hospital before being transported to McKay-Dee Hospital, where their critical care team continued treatment with therapeutic hypothermia to lower the body temperature to preserve his neurological function.
Davis’ parents, Matt and Chrissy, arrived in Utah Thursday evening, and were met at the hospital by Utah State Team Physician Dr. David G. Liddle, Interim Athletics Director Jerry Bovee, head football coach Blake Anderson and athletic trainer Kendra Gilmore.
Fact #2 : Josh Davis Suffered A Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Utah State University then shared a photo with an update on Friday, March 24, announcing that his condition was upgraded from critical to “Fair Condition” that morning.
It also stated that Josh Davis collapsed after suffering a “non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest“.
Josh Davis, a football player for Utah State, has been upgraded from critical to fair condition as of Friday morning, following a non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest during Thursday’s spring practice on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.
Aggies head coach Blake Anderson praised the USU training staff for their quick action, which likely saved Josh Davis’ life.
Awake, alert, and breathing on his own. The training staff absolutely saved his life. No hesitation all. Miracle.
Utah State University (USU) required students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for Spring Semester 2022, but dropped that requirement for the Fall 2022 intake.
Since USU calls Josh Davis a freshman (first year student), it is likely he joined USU in the fall, which would mean he was not subjected to the earlier vaccine mandate. That does not mean he is unvaccinated. It simply means – we don’t know his vaccination status.
Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Josh Davis was fully-vaccinated or boosted is likely lying to you.
Fact #4 : Sudden 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 #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. 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…

The official cause of death for 18 year-old student Jordan Brister has been revealed, confirming that he did not die from any vaccine side effect!
Claim : Jordan Brister Died From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Jordan Brister died suddenly and unexpectedly, people immediately claimed that the 18 year-old Las Vegas student died suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS!
Another one #DiedSuddenly
Jordan Brister, 17 year old high school student dies suddenly #Covid #Vaccine
ANOTHER Las Vegas teenager has collapsed and died while at school from a sudden heart attack. 💉☠️💉☠️ “Jordan Tyler Brister suddenly and unexpectedly suffered cardiac arrest while at school with no explanation as to why” #diedsuddenly #VaccineDeath
Nothing to see here 👀 ..and don’t even begin to question what the connection could possibly be 💉
Truth : Cause Of Death For Jordan Brister Was Not Vaccine!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all sudden 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 : Jordan Brister Was Found Unconscious After Gym Class
18 year-old Jordan Brister was a 12th grade student at the Amplus Academy in Las Vegas, who was found unresponsive in his school’s bathroom after attending gym class on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
As he was suspected to have suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, Amplus Academy staff performed CPR on him until paramedics arrived and transported him to the Southern Hills Hospital.
Despite the efforts of first responders and the medical team at Southern Hills Hospital, Jordan Brister passed away on Sunday, January 8, 2023.
Fact #2 : Jordan Brister’s Cause Of Death Was Pneumonia + Tracheitis
The Clark County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy of Jordan Brister, and released its results on Friday, February 24.
According to the Clark County Coroner’s Office, Jordan Brister died from acute bacterial pneumonia and tracheitis (an infection of his windpipe, the trachea) caused by the bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus.
The coroner also said that Brister’s manner of death was natural.
Needless to say, this confirms once and for all that Jordan Brister did not die from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect.
Fact #3 : Jordan Brister Donated His Organs
This fact has no relevance to the topic, but I felt it is important to know that even in death, Jordan Brister made a difference – he donated his organs.
The Southern Hills Hospital held an honor walk on January 11, with care providers lining the hospital hallways as Brister was transferred to an operating room to donate his organs.
Staff said so many people came out to support Brister that staff members had trouble fitting in the hallways. Brister’s family said their goodbyes as he went into surgery.
Anytime an organ is donated, it helps change the track of someone’s life. He gets to live on in these individuals whose lives are impacted and saved. – Dr. Shahid Ahmad, Southern Hills Hospital
Fact #4 : Unknown If Jordan Brister Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is currently unknown if Jordan Brister was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has never publicly mentioned his vaccination status.
For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, and the Amplus Academy, where he studied, does not have any COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!
Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Jordan Brister received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Jordan Brister was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as he would have received his doses many months ago!
He cannot possibly be suffering 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 #5 : Claims Of Teachers / Students Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of teacher or student deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. 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 teacher or student tragedy…

Did UNLV football player Ryan Keeler die suddenly from vaccine SADS at just 20 years old?!
Take a look at the viral claims about his sudden death, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Ryan Keeler Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Ryan Keeler died suddenly, people immediately claimed that the UNLV football player died from vaccine SADS!
JD Sharp : It is not inappropriate to ask this question: Did the vaccine kill 20 year old UNLV Defensive Lineman Ryan Keeler?
College Football Star RyanKeeler Dead at 20. The Covid-19 vaccine does it’s dirty work once again
Oh look, another young & healthy athlete that just #DiedSuddenly Y’all really think this is just some “coincidence”!?🤦♂️ #WakeUpAmerica #WakeUpWorld ⚠️🚨💉#vaccine #vaccineinjuries #VaccineDeath
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 : Ryan Keeler Was Found Dead In Bed
Ryan Keeler (born February 15, 2003) started his college career at Rutgers, but transferred to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in the fall of last year, and played seven games for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels team.
On Monday, February 20, 2023, another member of the UNLV Rebels team found him dead in a Las Vegas studio apartment at around 1:10 PM. Las Vegas police officers were called to the scene shortly thereafter.
UNLV Rebels head coach Barry Odom said in a statement issued by the university :
While I had the honor of knowing Ryan for only a couple of months, he already stood out to our coaching staff as an incredible person, student and teammate.
Our condolences and prayers go out to Ryan’s family as we grieve along with them over this tremendous loss.
Fact #2 : Ryan Keeler’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown
The cause of Ryan Keeler’s sudden death is still unknown. While the 911 call was initially handled as a medical call, Las Vegas authorities are investigating Ryan Keeler’s sudden death.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office listed his time of death as 4:05 PM, and said that the cause and manner of Ryan Keeler’s death were pending, as blood toxicology results can take several weeks.
Las Vegas Police officer Robert Wicks also said that an investigation of Ryan Keeler’s death remained open, pending the autopsy report from the coroner and detective findings. The police do not suspect foul play.
Until the Clark County Coroner’s Office reveals his official cause and manner of death, anyone who tells you that Ryan Keeler died of this or that cause is likely lying to you.
Fact #3 : Ryan Keeler Was Likely Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Ryan Keeler has never publicly announced his COVID-19 vaccination status, but it is likely that he was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19.
While the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) does not have a vaccine mandate, his previous school – Rutgers, requires all students and employees to be fully-vaccinated and obtain a booster dose when eligible.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Ryan Keeler was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it is impossible for the COVID-19 vaccine to cause his “collapse” as he would have received his doses many months ago!
He cannot possibly be suffering 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 #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. 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…

Did 12 year-old Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia die suddenly during football practice, from the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia Died Suddenly From Vaccine!
After news broke that Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia died suddenly, people immediately claimed that the 12 year-old football player died from the COVID-19 vaccine!
10/2/23 Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia dies aged 12 😢 after collapsing during non-contact football practice
Why do children have heart attacks since 💉 ? 😡😡😡😡😡
Do NOT put mRNA injections into your children! God rest this sweet child and console his family!
Elijah Jordan Brown Garcia: 12-year-old dies after collapsing during football practice in Newark, New Jersey
…..and another 💉💀
2-Year-Old New Jersey Boy Dies Suddenly After Collapsing at Football Practice 💉 another💉 one💉 gone💉
No Evidence Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia Died From Vaccine!
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 : Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia Collapsed On The Field
After school ended on Friday, February 10, 12 year-old Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia and his 10 year-old brother took part in football practice with their team, the Essex County Predators, at the West Side Park in Newark, New Jersey.
Soon after the session started, Elijah Jordan – a sixth grade student of the Rise Academy Charter School, suddenly collapsed. As his brother, Mekhi, recounted :
He didn’t get hit, like no contact or anything. He ran about 20 yards, said he was going to take a little break.
I don’t think he caught his breath that he needed to get. So, when he got up, he passed out.
Fact #2 : No One There Knew CPR
The team’s head coach reported left, leaving another coach and parents to handle the training session. Unfortunately, none of them were trained to perform CPR, and could not resuscitate Elijah Jordan after he collapsed.
Spectators at the field called 911 twice, while Elijah’s younger brother, Mekhi Stradford, called his mother, Raven Brown. She called 911 a third time, and rushed over to the football field.
He said they were throwing water on him and they were fanning him.
Even though the incident took place just a few hundred yards from the Newark Police precinct, it took EMS about 30-40 minutes to arrive. Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia was taken to the University Hospital in Newark, where he died.
Fact #3 : Autopsy Was Performed On Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia
An autopsy was performed on Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia, and his family is awaiting the results.
Until the autopsy results for Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia are announced or revealed by his family, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from any cause of death.
Fact #4 : Mother Did Not Blame Vaccine For Her Son’s Death
If Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia died from the COVID-19 vaccine, his mother would have spoken up about it.
Yet, Raven Brown did not blame the COVID-19 vaccine for her son’s death. She only called for coaches to be CPR-certified.
Coaches out there need to be CPR certified. He was a great kid. He didn’t deserve this.
She also created a GoFundMe to raise funds for his funeral. Even in its description, she did not cast any blame for her son’s death.
Elijah was an outgoing, loving young kid. He loved dancing and football and loved his family. He made sure everyone was comfortable with his infectious smile. He loved going to school and he loved his friends.
At a young tender age of 12, Elijah passed away playing football, doing what he loved.
Fact #5 : Unknown If Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is unknown if Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!
Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #6 : Cardiac Arrest Is A Common Cause Of Sudden Death
Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly die from cardiac arrest. The truth is – people have been dying from cardiac arrest since time immemorial, long before any vaccine was invented.
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.
On average, about 2,000 young people in the United States die from sudden cardiac arrestevery year, and many do not have previously known heart disease.
Fact #7 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. 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…

Did US Air Force Academy cadet Hunter Brown collapse and die suddenly from vaccine SADS, on the way to class?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what Hunter Brown died from, and why it was not vaccine SADS!
Claim : Cadet Hunter Brown Collapsed From Vaccine SADS!
When news broke that US Air Force Academy cadet Hunter Brown suddenly collapsed and died on the way to class, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine!
We know he had the jab because he had to stay to in the Air Force. This is really getting out of hand…how many more people have to die before these woke pricks shut down this massive deadly vaccine scam? Air Force football player Hunter Brown dead at 21
Air Force football player Hunter Brown dead at 21 Another healthy young person dies for no reason. Thousands have died this way. I have no proof, but and many, many scientists and doctors think it’s the vaccine.
BREAKING REPORT: Offensive Lineman From Air Force Academy Hunter Brown DIES SUDDENLY While Walking to Class…
Truth : Hunter Brown Did Not Die Suddenly 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 : Cadet Hunter Brown Suffered A Medical Emergency
On Sunday, January 8, 2023, Candyce and Dustin Brown spoke on the phone with their son, cadet Hunter Brown, who was at his dorm, discussing his class schedule for his sophomore year at the the US Air Force Academy.
Hunter was recovering from a foot surgery he underwent two months earlier, to treat a torn ligament he suffered during football practice.
The next day, Hunter Brown experienced a “medical emergency” while leaving his dormitory for class that Monday morning. It was the USAFA cadets’ first day back from their winter break.
A 21 year-old sophomore (second year student) from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Hunter was also an offensive lineman on the US Air Force’s Falcon football team.
First responders attempted live saving measures, but were ultimately unsuccessful. The US Air Force Academy announced his death on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.
With heavy hearts we share the loss of a cadet.
C3C [Cadet Third Class] Hunter Brown died Monday after suffering a medical emergency while on his way to class.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates and fellow cadets. #NeverForgotten
Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark, U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent also issued a statement on Hunter Brown’s death:
Hunter was a standout offensive lineman on the Falcon football team and was well-respected in his squadron.
The entire U.S. Air Force Academy mourns his loss, and our hearts and condolences are with his family, his squadron, and all who were touched by this incredible young man.
Fact #2 : Hunter Brown’s Cause Of Death Was Pulmonary Embolism
Agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office secured the area where Hunter Brown collapsed and eventually died. They then conducted an investigation into his death – a standard protocol for any military member who dies on-base.
The El Paso County Coroner’s Office said that Hunter Brown’s autopsy was expected to take several weeks. At the end of January 2023, they told his parents of their preliminary results.
According to the preliminary report, the cause of death for Hunter Brown was pulmonary embolism – blood clots in his lungs. Officials said they found a blood clot in his uninjured leg that was likely to blame for his pulmonary embolism.
The final autopsy result for Hunter Brown has not been released, pending toxicology reports.
Fact #3 : Hunter Brown’s Parents Spoke Out Against Conspiracy Theories
Hunter Brown’s parents spoke up against the conspiracy theories about his death. His mother, Candyce said:
He had a surgery two months before, but we don’t want to feed into any conspiracies. We also still have our personal questions about why, but it wasn’t put out there that he had surgery. No one knew that.
They told Military.com that they didn’t appreciate members of the public speculating about the cause of his sudden death, when they did not know the official cause, and didn’t have the recent context of his recent foot surgery.
Fact #4 : Hunter Brown’s Sister Said He Didn’t Die From Vaccine
Hunter Brown’s sister, Hannah, recently said publicly that her brother’s death was not due to a “jab”, in response to yet another callous post about his death.
Please take this down now. It wasn’t due to a “jab”. This isn’t political and we are hurting.
Fact #5 : Hunter Brown Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Despite claims that he was “forced” to get vaccinated, it was initially unknown if Hunter Brown was ever vaccinated against COVID-19.
Hunter Brown was a sophomore (second year) student at the United States Air Force Academy, which does not have a vaccine mandate for students. The Department of Defense only had a vaccine mandate for service members, not cadets.
On August 30, 2021, the United States Air Force Academy held a vaccination point of distribution for cadets to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in line with the guidance from the Secretary of Defense. Department of Defense guidance is that only vaccines fully licensed by the FDA are mandated for service members.
Currently, no administrative or disciplinary actions will be taken against cadets who do not receive the vaccine. Service-level policies, when released, determine what, if any, actions will be taken.
It was only on January 27, 2023, that his family confirmed to Military.com that he was vaccinated against COVID-19.
Fact #6 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine 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, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen cases I fact checked:

Did University of Arizona swimmer Ty Wells die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine SADS, or a motorcycle accident?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : UA Swimmer Ty Wells Died From Vaccine / Accident!
Right after news broke that Ty Wells died suddenly and unexpectedly, people immediately claimed that the University of Arizona swim team member died from the COVID-19 vaccine SADS… or a motorcycle accident!
BREAKING — Ty Wells, 23, University Of Arizona Swim Team Member, Dies Suddenly all these deaths is normal! said Pfizer
Another SADS – as usual no cause of death given to young athlete.
@uarizona we all know why Ty Wells passed away. From the mandates that colleges put on students
No Evidence Ty Wells Died From Vaccine OR Motorcycle Accident!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
And “death blogs” quickly jump onto the craze by quickly creating obituaries or articles that wrongly attribute the cause of death of these athletes or celebrities.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists / “death blogs”, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Ty Wells Death Circumstances + Cause Still Unknown
Ty Wells was a native of Ripon, California, and a 2021-2022 CSCAA Scholar All-American who competed in the 2022 US Open Championships.
He was a four-year member of the University of Arizona’s men swim team, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences & Physiology in May 2022, with plans to pursue a career in physical therapy or sports medicine.
Ty Wells sadly passed away on Friday morning, January 27, 2023. However, the circumstances and cause of Ty Wells’ death is still currently unknown.
His school confirmed the news on Instagram on Monday evening, January 30, but did not mention a cause of death. A GoFundMe was set up for his family, but also did not mention a cause of death.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of recent alum Ty Wells, who passed away on Friday.
Our heartfelt condolences are with his family, his friends and the entire @arizonaswimdive family.
His home club, Ripon Aquatics, emailed its team on Monday about his death, but also did not mention a cause of death.
As many of you may have heard by now, our team family lost a beloved friend with the passing of Ty Wells on Friday morning.
It is impossible to articulate in a short letter the impact Ty Wells had on our community. I trust as we grieve, celebrate, and remember Ty, he will be properly honored.
Over the past few days, I’ve heard him described as an “angel on earth,” “the brightest smile in the room,” “the warmest hug I’ve ever been given,” and “the best version of all of us.” For me…I have seen few people love so fiercely, consistently, and unapologetically the way Ty did as a friend, brother, son, and teammate.
Until and unless his family reveals his cause of death, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that Ty Wells died from COVID-19 vaccine SADS, or a motorcycle accident.
Fact #2 : Ty Wells Cause Of Death Is Being Investigated
The Arizona Medical Examiner is currently working to determine the cause of death for Ty Wells.
Until his autopsy is completed, and the results announced, it would be wrong for anyone to claim that Ty Wells died from COVID-19 vaccine SADS, or any other cause of death!
Fact #3 : Motorcycle Accident Involved A Different Ty Wells
“Death blogs” that claim that Ty Wells died from a motorcycle accident have apparently scraped that information from an April 2022 GoFundMe page of a different Ty Wells.
While they both share the same name, this Ty Wells hails from Los Angeles, not Ripon. Not only did the motorcycle accident happen in April 2020 – almost 9 months earlier, the other Ty Wells did not die from his motorcycle accident.
We are raising money for Ty in this time of tragic circumstance. All money from this fund will directly support the cost of current and future medical bills, living expenses, accessibility resources, and whatever else Ty may need on the road to recovery. Please donate if you are able.
On April 3, 2022 our Ty Wells endured a motorcycle accident that has put them in the hospital. Ty is currently being treated at LAC+USC.
Please keep them in your thoughts and send all the strength and good energy.
This page has been created with the blessing of the family. We will keep this page up to date on the status of Ty’s recovery.
One “death blog” called obituary-funeral.com even had the temerity to misuse the infamous photo of Tyre Nichols lying in the hospital bed as a photo of Ty Wells. Tyre Nichols was the young father who was beaten to death in Memphis by five police officers.
Another “death blog” called fhobitsmemorial.com claimed that Ty Wells died in a motorcycle accident. However, the obituary they posted referred to a Ty Wells from Tucson, Arizona.
Fact #4 : University Of Arizona Never Had A Vaccine Mandate
Some of those who blame the COVID-19 vaccine for Ty Wells’ death claim that the University of Arizona has a vaccine mandate, that is not true. The University of Arizona never mandated the COVID-19 vaccine, not even in 2021-2022.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and our best shot at getting back to normal.
Anyone 12 years and older can get vaccinated. The University is not requiring that students get vaccinated. However, the University strongly encourages vaccination to protect yourself and the community.
Fact #5 : Unknown If Ty Wells Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is unknown if Ty Wells was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! There is no vaccine mandate at the University of Arizona, and the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.
For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!
Unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Ty Wells was fully-vaccinated and died from the vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #6 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. 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…

Did 6 year-old Danielle Mei Cabana die from myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Danielle Mei Cabana Died From Vaccine Myocarditis!
People keep sharing a photo of 6 year-old Danielle Mei Cabana, claiming that she died from myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are some examples on social media:
Died Suddenly : One of the most heart breaking 💉💉 stories:
Mel Cabana was 6 years old when she was taken to the hospital with flu symptoms.
She subsequently received two heart procedures and began to breathe on her own, but ultimately #diedsuddenly after suffering a “massive stroke.”
Danielle Mei Cabana, 6, hockey player, diagnosed with myocarditis, passed away after suffering a “massive stroke.” 🥅 🏒 ❤️
Truth : Danielle Mei Cabana Did Not Die From Vaccine Myocarditis!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Danielle Mei Cabana Had The Flu
Danielle Mei Cabana (born October 3, 2016) was a 6 year old member of the Richmond Raven U7 girls hockey team.
Danielle and her sisters caught the flu at around Remembrance Day on November 11. While her sisters recovered, Danielle could not fight off the infection, and was admitted to the British Columbia Children’s Hospital on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
At the hospital, Danielle Cabana’s condition worsened, and she was transferred to the ICU, where she was diagnosed with myocarditis caused by the flu.
To be clear – Danielle Mei Cabana did not get her myocarditis from the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fact #2 : Danielle Mei Cabana Died From A Stroke
According to her father, Denis Cabana, Danielle was given medicine to treat the myocarditis, but her heart stopped that evening.
Danielle Mei Cabana underwent two heart procedures over the next two days, and started to breathe on her own on Saturday, November 26, 2022. Unfortunately, she suffered a “massive stroke” later that day, and died from it.
Her father, Denis Cabana posted about her demise on Instagram (now private):
We went back to the room where the doctors unplugged the machine and we said our goodbyes. Dani held on for another 10 minutes or so before finally resting.
While we may not be able to see or touch her again, her spirit and memories will live forever within her parents and sisters. We will honor her life and make sure she has a fulfilling life through our eyes.
A GoFundMe was set up for her family, and her funeral service would be held tomorrow, January 20, 2023.
Fact #3 : Unknown If Danielle Mei Cabana Was Vaccinated
It is currently unknown if Danielle Mei Cabana was vaccinated against COVID-19, because her vaccination status was never publicly revealed.
For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Canada, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.
Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Danielle Mei Cabana received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #4 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing child deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

USAF cadet Hunter Brown’s sister has spoken up about her brother’s sudden death, saying that it was not due to the COVID-19 vaccine jab!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : USAF Cadet Hunter Brown Collapsed From Vaccine SADS!
When news broke that US Air Force Academy cadet Hunter Brown suddenly collapsed and died on the way to class, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine!
We know he had the jab because he had to stay to in the Air Force. This is really getting out of hand…how many more people have to die before these woke pricks shut down this massive deadly vaccine scam? Air Force football player Hunter Brown dead at 21
Air Force football player Hunter Brown dead at 21 Another healthy young person dies for no reason. Thousands have died this way. I have no proof, but and many, many scientists and doctors think it’s the vaccine.
Praying for the family of Hunter Brown as well as all Air Force families who have brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren who were forced to take the mRNA jabs. They didn’t need them, and sometimes there are real consequences. Let’s hope that wasn’t the case here. So sad.
Sister : Hunter Brown’s Sudden Death Not Due To Jab!
On January 9, 2023, US Air Force Academy cadet Hunter Brown experienced a “medical emergency” while leaving his dormitory for class that Monday morning. It was the USAFA cadets’ first day back from their winter break.
A 21 year-old sophomore (second year student) from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Hunter was also an offensive lineman on the US Air Force’s Falcon football team.
First responders attempted live saving measures, but were ultimately unsuccessful. The US Air Force Academy announced his death on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.
With heavy hearts we share the loss of a cadet.

Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark, U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent also issued a statement on Hunter Brown’s death:
Hunter was a standout offensive lineman on the Falcon football team and was well-respected in his squadron.
The entire U.S. Air Force Academy mourns his loss, and our hearts and condolences are with his family, his squadron, and all who were touched by this incredible young man.
Even though details about Hunter Brown’s death was extremely limited, anti-vaccination activists immediately blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his death.
Agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office secured the area where Hunter Brown collapsed and eventually died. They are now conducting an investigation into his death – a standard protocol for any military member who dies on-base.
According to the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, Hunter Brown’s autopsy is expected to take several weeks. Until they finish their investigations and reveal the cause of his death, anyone who tells you that cadet Hunter Brown died from this or that cause is most likely lying to you.
However, one person close to Hunter Brown – his sister, Hannah Brown, said that her brother’s death was not due to a “jab”, in response to yet another callous post about his death.
Please take this down now. It wasn’t due to a “jab”. This isn’t political and we are hurting.
Despite her plea on January 12, 2023, the OP did not remove his post suggesting that Hunter Brown may have been killed by the “mRNA jabs”.
Hannah appeared to have tried fending off questions about whether her brother died from the COVID-19 vaccine, with a post asking for privacy on January 11, 2023:
If you aren’t close to my family you have no business being nosey and asking what happened. It’s already hard enough.
Stop Hounding Hunter Brown’s Family Over His Sudden Death!
No one should be hounding the Brown family over the death of their brother and son. His sister has already publicly said that Hunter Brown did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine. What else do you need to know?
If you have such a morbid interest in Hunter Brown’s sudden death, can’t you wait for the autopsy? If you don’t trust the autopsy, then why keep claiming that the authorities are covering up vaccine deaths by not performing autopsies?
So lay off the Brown family, and wait for the autopsy results to be revealed publicly. Until that time, there is ZERO EVIDENCE that Hunter Brown died from the COVID-19 vaccine.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Here is what you need to know about the RM150 BAP financial aid that schools will start distributing to all students in Malaysia!
RM150 BAP Aid For Students In Malaysia : What Is It?
On January 9, 2023, the government of Malaysia announced the Early Aid For Education (BAP – Bantuan Awal Persekolahan), which is meant to lighten the load for parents or guardians at the beginning of the school year.
To that end, the Malaysia government will give a one-time financial aid of RM150 to every student attending Standard 1 through Form 5 for the 2023/2024 school year.
The BAP funds will be channeled to each school, and it will be up to the individual school to distribute the money to the student, or credit it into the bank account of his/her parent or guardian.
Here are some answers to frequently-asked questions about the RM150 BAP aid for students in Malaysian schools.

The student must be a Malaysian citizen.
The student must be attending Standard 1 through Form 5, or their equivalent for the 2023/2024 school term.

– private school registered with the government
– Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK)

How Will BAP Funds Be Given To Students?
The BAP funds will be distributed to each school, and each school’s administration will either distribute the funds to each student as cash, or credited to their a bank account of their parents / guardian.
When Will BAP Funds Be Given To Students?
The BAP funds will be credited into the school accounts from 12 January 2023 onwards.
Thereafter, it will be up to each school to distribute the BAP funds to the students.

Students and parents are not required to fill any form, but the student or parent will likely be required by the school to sign a form to acknowledge receipt of the the BAP financial aid.
The schools may also require parents or guardians to physically come to the school with the student’s birth certificate for verification.
What If You Cannot Make It For The Appointed Day?
Please note that once the school has organised a collection date, at least one parent or guardian must attend to collect the BAP financial aid of RM150, and sign the acknowledgement form.
If you fail to turn up, the BAP financial aid will be forfeit, and the money returned to the Malaysia Ministry of Education.

Take a look at the viral video of President Macron with his dancing teacher who became his wife, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : This Was President Macron With His Dancing Teacher / Wife 30 Years Ago!
People are sharing this video which claims to show a young Emmanuel Macron dancing with his teacher, who would end up becoming his current wife, Brigette Macron.
This is a 30 year old Television clip. This video is interesting not only because of the dance sequence, but because, this young boy is the current president of France, & the Lady dancer, his teacher …. is his current wife …Interesting!!! Isn’t it? 🤷🤷♀ 🤷🤷♀ 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Truth : That Was Not President Macron With His Dancing Teacher / Wife!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp and social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Brigitte Did Not Teach Macron Dancing
Brigitte Auzière (born Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux on 13 April 1953) first met Emmanuel Macron at the La Providence High School in 1998, when she was a 40 year-old teacher, and he was a 15 year-old student and a classmate of her daughter, Laurence.
She was not his dancing teacher, but taught him literature and was in charge of the theatre class that he attended. Brigitte divorced her husband, André-Louis Auzière, in January 2006 and married Macron in October 2007.
Fact #2 : Brigitte + Emmanuel Macron Never Participated In Dance Contests
As far as I can tell – Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron never participated in any dancing contest.
So it would be quite impossible for them to appear in a dance competition 30 years ago.
Fact #3 : Viral Video Was Recorded In 2016
The viral video, which people claimed was Emmanuel Macron dancing with his teacher Brigitte, was not recorded 30 years ago.
It was posted on the SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance) YouTube channel on 6 September 2017, but featured on another YouTube channel on 13 July 2016.
Fact #4 : Music Was From 2014
You can also date the video using the music. It was certainly not 30 years old, but a much more recent – Toca Toca (Radio Edit) by Fly Project was published on YouTube on 14 May 2014.
Fact #5 : Viral Video Is Of Jenna Johnson + Jake Monreal
The viral video does not show Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron dancing in a competition.
The two dancers are Jenna Johnson and Jake Monreal, who were competing in “So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation” on July 11, 2016.
The YouTube video had the title “So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation – Jenna and Jake’s Ballroom Performance“.
In that video, Jenna and Jake performed a Cha Cha routine which was choreographed by Jean Marc Genereux, to “Toca Toca (Radio Edit)“.
Fact #6 : Jenna Johnson Is A Professional Dancer
Jenna Johnson (born April 12, 1994) is an American professional dance and choreographer, who was one of the mentors in that dance competition.
She competed with Jake Monreal in 2016, and made it to the Top 8 before elimination on August 1, 2016. She returned to the show in Season 14 to mentor Kiki Nyemchek, and made it to Top 4.
Fact #7 : Jake Monreal Is A Professional Dancer
Jake Monreal (born September 24, 2003) is now a 19 year-old professional dancer, who began dancing at the age of 10. At that time the video was recorded, he was just 12 years old.
Jake would become a professional dancer for Dancing with the Stars Junior in 2018.
Fact #8 : Just Another Example Of Fake News About Politicians
This is just another example of fake news created about politicians, and shared on WhatsApp and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Here are some other examples I fact checked:

Did college basketball player Imo Essien collapse from vaccine SADS, leaving his teammate in tears?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Basketball Player Imo Essien Collapsed From Vaccine SADS!
A video of college basketball player, Imo Essien, apparently collapsing during a game has gone viral, with anti-vaccination activists claiming it as evidence that he is another victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!
Here are some examples on social media:
Here we go again… Another game – Another medical emergency as ODU🏀player Imo Essien collapses during the 1st half
This never happened this often before these toxic mRNA injections were rolled out, NEVER!!!
Yo @NCAA It’s just never ending isn’t it ??? Potential SADS victim👀
Old Dominion Sophomore Imo Essien Collapses for “Unknown Reasons” at Yesterday’s Game vs Georgia Southern
If you don’t know anyone, you will soon #diedsuddenly #vaccines #suddenlydied #DiedSuddenlyNews #diedsuddenly #Gates #VaccineDeaths
HORROR ON THE COURT: Members of the Old Dominion men’s basketball team watched in shock on Saturday, and many held back tears, as their teammate Imo Essien suddenly collapsed. This is now happening in EVERY sport, why?🤔 Time to release the Fauci Files #Myocarditis #VaccineDeath
No Evidence Imo Essien Collapsed From Vaccine SADS!
It’s now a 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 : Imo Essien Did Not Lose Consciousness
Despite suggestions that Imo Essien suddenly collapsed like Damar Hamlin, he did not lose consciousness at all.
Imo Essien – an Old Dominion point guard – was on defence, when he suddenly stopped and sat down on the court, before slowly lying down on his side. He appeared to be in considerable pain.
Medical personnel from both teams rushed to attend to him. After a few moments, they helped Essien get on his feet, and he walked off the court with their help.
He never lost consciousness, and was responsive throughout the incident according to his team. In fact, he sat down on the bench for the rest of the game, and travelled back to Norfolk with his team!
Imo Essien was evaluated by the ODU Athletic Training staff along with the GA Southern medical staff. He was responsive throughout and was able to sit with the team for the duration of the game and drove home with the team.
He is in good spirits and will work with the ODU Sports Medicine Staff when they return to Norfolk.
Fact #2 : Imo Essien Will Be Examined By A Cardiologist
Old Dominium Monarchs head coach, Jeff Jones, later revealed that Imo Essien had trouble catching his breath during the game, and was able to return to breathing normally before returning to the bench for the rest of the game.
He revealed that Essien’s vital signs were normal, and confirmed that the sophomore never lost consciousness. He also said that Imo Essien underwent a COVID-19 test after the incident, which came back negative.
He shared that Imo Essien was held out of practice with a non-COVID illness early last week, but recovered and had a “great” practice on Wednesday before the match.
Imo Essien was kept out of practice again on Monday, January 9, in order to meet with a cardiologist to undergo tests and examinations, to determine his next steps in a path to return.
Note that this does not mean that Imo Essien had a cardiac arrest like Damar Hamlin. Only the cardiologist can determine what happened that day after examining and running tests on him.
Fact #3 : Unknown If Imo Essien Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Despite claims that he was “forced” to get vaccinated, it is currently unknown if Imo Essien was ever vaccinated against COVID-19.
Imo Essien is a sophomore (second year) student at the Old Dominion University, which had a vaccine mandate for students. However, that vaccine mandate was lifted on January 31, 2022.
Therefore, it is possible that Imo Essien, who would have been a freshman then, may not have been vaccinated as it was no longer a requirement.
That said, over 97% of Old Dominion students were fully-vaccinated before the mandate was lifted, with 99.7% of students staying on campus fully-vaccinated.
However, until and unless we know that Imo Essien was ever vaccinated against COVID-19, it is wrong for anyone to blame his “collapse” on the COVID-19 vaccines.
Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Imo Essien was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it is impossible for the COVID-19 vaccine to cause his “collapse” as he would have received his doses at least 12 months ago!
He cannot possibly be suffering 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 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine 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, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Was President Joe Biden caught on camera molesting a little girl in a viral photo?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : President Joe Biden Got Caught Molesting A Little Girl!
A photo of President Joe Biden has gone viral, with people claiming that he has finally been caught on camera molesting a little girl!
The viral photo shows President Biden apparently fondling a little girl’s crotch.
Stew Peters : What the EFF am I looking at here? Is this a photo of Biden fondling a small child’s genitalia?
Adults need to keep their hands off kids @potus
Moron, wet brains are screaming and kicking their feet about @Santos4Congress lying while running for political office but doing nothing about this bullshit.
What is @JoeBiden @POTUS doing? This is definitely not a good look and rather scary looking. #PedoPeter?
Truth : President Joe Biden Was Not Caught Molesting A Little Girl!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by right wing activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Photo Was Taken On October 15, 2021
While people are sharing this photo as something that was just taken in December 2022, this is over a year old.
This photo was actually taken by Evan Bucci, a photographer working for The Associated Press, on Friday, October 15, 2021.
Fact #2 : Photo Was Taken At A Connecticut Daycare Centre
The photo was taken when President Joe Biden travelled to a daycare centre in Hartford, Connecticut, to promote childcare plans that are part of his “Build Back Better” plan.
He was greeting children at a playground, when he was interrupted by Trump supporters yelling “traitor” and “f*ck Joe Biden” from across the street.
Needless to say – it would be incredibly stupid of President Joe Biden to even try to molest children in public, with Trump supporters watching his every move, and press photographers capturing the moment.
Fact #3 : Photo Was Edited
The viral photo was edited from the original photo, which shows President Joe Biden pointing to an American flag on the girl’s shirt. That was why she stretched her shirt with her own hands.
If you look closely, the girl appears to be “floating” above the ground because she was cropped out and moved upwards so that her shirt would cover Biden’s hand.
The person who edited the photo also removed the boy in the light blue shirt behind, and used a clone stamp tool to make the fence look seamless (removing a metal pole in the process).
Ultimately – this photo was edited to make it look like President Joe Biden had his hand on the girl’s crotch, when in reality – he was just pointing at the American flag on her shirt.

Join us as we take a look at the many claims in the Died Suddenly movie, and show you what the facts really are!
Died Suddenly : An Anti-Vaccination “Documentary”
Anti-vaccination activist and conspiracy theorist Stew Peters recently launched Died Suddenly – his “documentary” on sudden deaths that he blames on the COVID-19 vaccine.
It appears to be nothing more than a mishmash of sudden death and fainting videos, packaged as “evidence” they must absolutely be caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
The trouble is – the sudden deaths featured in his “documentary” were not confirmed to be caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, many of them did not even die!
Even those who died suddenly did not actually die from the COVID-19 vaccine, but from other causes that were already revealed publicly!
With some help from The Real Truther, I will expose the lies in the Died Suddenly “documentary”. This is a work in progress as the video is long, so I will be adding the lies and evidence as I go through it.
This section will contain people in the Died Suddenly video who did not die at all.
CNA Presenter Julie Yoo
1:03:14 of the Died Suddenly video featured a shot of CNA presenter Julie Yoo collapsing at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt at COP27 on November 9, 2022.
She did not die. She later stated that she was feeling a little unwell due to dehydration and low blood sugar. She rested that night, and was back on air the next day.
Brazilian Reporter Vanessa Medeiros
Right after Julie Yoo, Died Suddenly showed a short clip of Brazilian reporter Vanessa Medeiros collapsing on live TV. The incident happened in front of the police station in São Vicente, on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.
What the Died Suddenly video does not tell you is that Vanessa Medeiros did not die, and her collapse had nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines. She had syncope.
Vanessa mentioned that she was feeling unwell in the video, “With these three men, two backpacks with narcotics were seized… This man who is arrested, who will be arrested and is in the hospital… Sorry, guys, I’m not feeling well. Well…” before she collapsed.
Despite the dramatic video, Vanessa Medeiros did not fall to the ground. She was helped by her colleague Fernando Skillo, who leaned her against the wall. She fainted momentarily but quickly regained consciousness.
Her TV station, TV Tribuna, later issued a statement stating that she was doing well.
Argentinian Nutritionist Teresa Coccaro
The Died Suddenly video also features a shot of Argentinian nutritionist Teresa Coccaro collapsing on TV.
What it doesn’t tell you is that Teresa Coccaro did not die suddenly. She only fainted from syncope, and recovered soon after that.
American Nurse Tiffany Dover
The Died Suddenly video also showed a flash of Tiffany Dover fainting on TV. She too did not die, but fainted from syncope.
The Died Suddenly trailer features a video of Florida Gators basketball star Keyontae Johnson collapsing on the court.
The trouble is – Johnson collapsed at a game on December 12, 2020 – this was before the COVID-19 vaccines were made available! So he was most definitely not vaccinated when he collapsed.
On top of that, Keyontae Johnson did not die from the incident. He rejoined his team as a coach at the end of the month, and later joined Kansas State as a forward.
In fact, Keyontae Johnson was recently named Player of the Week on November 14, 2022!
The Died Suddenly video showcased a Turkish bus driver who appeared to suddenly “die” while driving his vehicle in Istanbul, sometime in September 2022.
The bus driver, Ömer Odabaşı, actually suffered a heart attack. Despite crashing his bus into a roadside cutlery kiosk and four vehicles, no one was killed.
Ömer, the bus driver, and six other people were injured and taken to the hospital for treatment. Ömer is still alive and well today.
Argentinian Woman Fainting Onto Moving Train
The Died Suddenly video also featured a young woman in Argentina who fainted and fell onto a moving train.
The 24 year-old woman, identified as Candela, fainted after not eating all day, and did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine.
In fact, she didn’t die from the incident, and was discharged from the hospital after a few days.
The Died Suddenly video showed Brazilian reported Rafael Silva collapsing during the Alterosa Alerta program on January 3, 2022.
Rafael Silva did not die, and did not collapse due to the third (booster) dose of the COVID-19 vaccine he received earlier.
He was found to have a mitral annular disjunction (MAD) – a structural malformation in his heart that he was born with. He was discharged about two weeks later, with an automatic defibrillator to prevent a recurrence.
Austrian Journalist Rosa Lyon
The Died Suddenly video also featured an oft-used video clip of Austrian journalist Rosa Lyon collapsing just as her show, ZiB on ORF 2, started.
She was taken to the hospital for treatment and monitoring. However, her collapse had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccine because it happened on 30 September 2019.
That was 3 months before China reported an outbreak of a novel coronavirus that would end up becoming the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and more than 15 months before the first COVID-19 vaccines were available.
Colombian Actress Maria Collapsing On Carolina Cruz’s Día a Día Show
The Died Suddenly video also showed a clip of a Colombian actress called Maria collapsing on Carolina Cruz’s Día a Día show.
The incident happened on October 13, 2022, and the actress, Maria, did not die as the Died Suddenly video suggests.
The Died Suddenly trailer also featured this famous scene of the Queen’s Royal Guard collapsing during her funeral. I remember this very well, because I wrote an article about the Royal Guard’s collapse.
Naturally, the Royal Guard did not die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccines, but fainted after standing still for hours. He also recovered quickly after the incident, and is still very much alive and well.
Needless to say – his fainting had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.
The Died Suddenly movie also showed a short clip of comedian Heather McDonald fainting on stage. However, she also did not die suddenly, but is very much alive.
She explained that she probably fainted because she did not eat or drink enough before the show. She was also nervous about having her family in the audience.
Again, another “sudden death” of someone who did not even die. Merely another case of fainting which had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.
That article was written by Dolores Cruz, a mother who lost her son to a car accident. Her son, Eric Cruz, did not die from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect.
South Korean Artist Kim Jung Gi
At around 7:31, the video highlighted the death of South Korean visual artist Kim Jung Gi, who was at the Paris Airport when he complained of chest pains. He was taken to the hospital for surgery where he died.
Kim Jun Gi was confirmed to have died from a heart attack, not from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect.
55 year-old Tim Gough died while broadcasting from his garden studio. The owner of GenX Radio later confirmed that Gough died from a heart attack.
COVID-19 vaccines do NOT cause heart attacks. Heart attacks, incidentally, kill about 58,000 people every year in the United Kingdom, long before the COVID-19 vaccines were invented.
48 year-old Konstantin Moruga collapsed and died while playing at an amateur hockey game on Sunday evening, September 11, 2022.
His cause of death was confirmed to be sudden cardiac arrest, which has nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a significant risk factor for athletes. In the United States alone, half a million cases of sudden cardiac arrests are reported every year.
Kevin Conroy, who is best known for voicing Batman in the animated TV series, died on November 10, 2022 at the age of 66.
He died from colorectal cancer, not the COVID-19 vaccines. Unless detected early, colorectal cancer has a poor prognosis with a poor survival rate.
No matter what the Died Suddenly video may say, there is no evidence that the spike protein causes cancer.
In fact, if they are right that the spike protein causes cancer, a COVID-19 infection would pose a much greater of causing cancer as the virus replicates in our body and produces a TON more spike proteins, unlike the vaccine.
Former Football Player Bani Gbadyu
34 year-old former Pennsylvania State linebacker Bani Gbadyu died on Saturday, October 21, 2022.
He died from pancreatic cancer, not from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect. When Gbadyu was diagnosed earlier in October, he was already very sick, and was hospitalised in intensive care.
Pancreatic cancer is know as the silent killer, because it is often not detected until the cancer is very advanced and has spread throughout the body. The prognosis is therefore often very poor..
Student-Athlete Colette Baine
At around 47:02, Died Suddenly featured video clips of Colette Renee Baine, a 17 year-old student-athlete who died with family at her side on August 27, 2022.
According to her obituary, she was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2018, which was believed to have led to her passing. Her family also asked that donations be made to the Epilepsy Foundation of America in her memory.
Saudi Businessman Muhammad al-Qahtani
At around 45:56, Died Suddenly featured a short clip of Saudi businessman Muhammad al-Qahtani collapsing while giving a speech. He received medical attention but passed away.
His cause of death was never revealed, but could have been anything from a stroke to a heart attack or a cardiac arrest.
His death was never linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, it was unknown if al-Qahtani was ever vaccinated against COVID-19 in the first place!
This is a work in progress, so I will be adding to this article over time. Do check back shortly for more updates.
But as you can already tell – Died Suddenly isn’t a documentary, but an anti-vaccination propaganda video based on lies and misinformation.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next sudden death / fainting…
Please help us FIGHT FAKE NEWS by sharing this fact check article out, and please SUPPORT our work!
Died Suddenly : Other Lies + Misinformation
One of the key premise of his “documentary” is that these sudden deaths are caused by mysterious white fibres or blood clots found by embalmers like Richard Hirschman.
Hirschman has been making these claims for a long time now, but it now takes centerstage in Stew Peter’s fake documentary – Died Suddenly.
The most shocking part of the Died Suddenly movie occurs at around 52:24, when it showed an open heart surgery, in which a massive blood clot was pulled out.
A man can be heard saying, “So this is coming out of a beating heart, alright. Look at this and tell me if it looks the same way“.
I eventually discovered that the video was of a completely unrelated surgery called “Pulmonary Embolectomy of DVT Saddle Pulmonary Embolism”.
Even more damning – the video was posted on April 2, 2019 – more than 9 months before the COVID-19 pandemic started, and over 1.5 years before the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved!
More recently, I found that the Died Suddenly movie misused three photos of birth defects that occurred before the COVID-19 pandemic started, and long before the vaccines were approved!
At around 58:16 of the Died Suddenly movie, Dr. James A. Thorp, MD. – a 43 year veteran OBGYN embalmer said that they were seeing a substantial increase in miscarriages and birth defects.
The three shocking photos shown at that time, were all of babies born long before the COVID-19 pandemic!

Young football player Sam Westmoreland is the latest victim of anti-vaccination activists who claim that he was a victim of vaccine sudden death!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2022-12-14 : Updated article with Sam Westmoreland’s cause of death Originally posted @ 2022-10-22
Claim : Sam Westmoreland Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!
Right after news broke that Sam Westmoreland suddenly died just days before his 19th birthday, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Mississippi State football player died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS)!
Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on his death:
Pfizer caught another body!!! SMH Our government committed genocide to win a election then made bank off of a deadly vaccine that they made! Sounds familiar? Bill Gates once infected everyone’s PC then sold everyone antivirus software! 💯
Samuel Westmoreland dies at 18 years old & they don’t know why at Mississippi State? Football player & from all accounts stellar young man? Could it be the dreaded RNA Covid vaccine strikes again? Let us inoculate all the children & watch them drop like flies?
And yet the @CDCgovwants to put the jab on the vaccine list for children. Nothing to see here just another young athlete dropping dead. #Covidiots Mississippi State football player Sam Westmoreland dies at age 19
Truth : Sam Westmoreland Did Not Die From Vaccine Sudden Death!
It’s now a 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 : Sam Westmoreland Committed Suicide
Sam Westmoreland (born Samuel Westmoreland on October 21, 2003) passed away on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 – just two days shy of his 19th birthday.
He was an industrial technology major at the Mississippi State University, and an offensive lineman for the MSU Bulldog football team.
A spokesperson for the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office said that the police were called out to the Blackjack Missionary Baptist Church in Starkville, Mississippi to investigate a dead person found there.
When the police arrived on that Wednesday morning, they discovered Sam Westmoreland dead. Oktiibbeha County Sheriff’s Captain Brett Watson said that no foul play was suspected.
While an official cause of death was never released, the Clarion Ledger revealed on November 10, 2022 that Sam Westmoreland killed himself after returning to Starkville.
Fact #2 : MSU Statement Suggested He Committed Suicide
The university is working with the Sheriff’s Office, the County Coroner’s Office, the MSU Student Affairs division, and the MSU Athletics Department to “determine the facts of this incident”.
Although the university did not reveal Sam Westmoreland’s cause of death, its official statement on his sudden death suggested that he committed suicide, when it ended with resources for depression, general anxiety as well as alcohol and drug use counselling.
It also told students to contact the Dean of Students Office for “any interventions for personal and academic support”.
The My Student Support Program (My SSP) app is now available. Users receive confidential, short-term counseling support at no cost via live text-based chat, voice and video sessions. Support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and in multiple languages.
The My SSP app and website also offer self-directed resources, including videos, articles, podcasts and infographics; anonymous mental health assessments for depression, general anxiety and alcohol and drug use; and free access to the LIFT app for virtual fitness sessions. Visit www.myssp.app for more information and links to download the app from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
For any interventions for personal and academic support, please contact the Dean of Students Office at (662) 325-3611 or dos@msstate.edu.
Fact #3 : His Teammates Suggested He Committed Suicide
His teammate, MSU quarterback Will Rogers suggested that Sam Westmoreland committed suicide in his tweet, saying that “it’s okay not to be okay“.
RIP Sam. It’s okay to not be okay and we can always do more no matter what is going on. Hail State forever brother. Til we meet again 78. ❤️ #HailState
Jake Weir, another MSU quarterback, also suggested that Sam Westmoreland took his own life, asking people to “check up on the folks around you”.
Praying for the Westmoreland family right now. Sam was a great player and an even greater friend. Check up on the folks around you, you never know somebody’s personal life outside of work, class, practice, etc. Doing it for you this season Sammy! #78 ❤️ Romans 14:8
Fact #4 : Unknown If Sam Westmoreland Was Vaccinated
It is currently unknown if Sam Westmoreland was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.
For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!
Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Sam Westmoreland was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he definitely received his vaccine doses many months ago.
He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many 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 : Claims Of Athletes Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine 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, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Did Rod Stewart’s 11 year-old son get a heart attack from his COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Rod Stewart’s Son Suffered Heart Attack From Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Rod Stewart’s son Aiden was rushed to the hospital with a suspected heart attack, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that he was a victim of the COVID-19 vaccine!
Here are some examples on social media:
🧐 Well Rod Stewart was a vaccine fascist – now his 12 year old son Aiden has had a heart attack
mmm, no prizes for guessing if his son had 💉it’s killing people, don’t worry that means it’s working! 👍
Rod Stewart reveals his son Aiden, 11, was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after turning blue & passing out during sports
No doubt the boy was vaccinated. Stewart has been an obnoxious vaccine pusher for the last 2 years. Chickens are home to roost.
BREAKING: Singer @rodstewart’s 11 Year Old Son #Aiden Rushed To #Hospital With Suspected #HeartAttack. Another Victim Of The “Safe & Effective” #COVID #Vaccine!?
He had a ‘vaccine’-induced heart episode; 11 years old and YOU did this to him (as we pre-warned) – connect the dots, mullet-head! Keep taking those boosters!
Truth : Rod Stewart’s Son Did Not Suffer Heart Attack From Vaccine!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Aiden Stewart Collapsed During Football Match
Aiden Patrick Stewart (born February 16, 2011) is Rod Stewart’s eighth and youngest child, by his fifth and current wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart.
On December 7, 2022, Rod Stewart revealed that Aiden was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance with a suspected heart attack, after collapsing at a football match in Scotland.
11 year-old Aiden Stewart was playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team, when he collapsed and went “blue and unconscious”.
Fact #2 : Another Boy Was Sent To The Hospital As Well
Aiden Stewart wasn’t the only boy who suffered a medical emergency in that game. Another boy fell backwards and “banged his head”. Two ambulances were called that day.
Fact #3 : Aiden Stewart Only Had A Panic Attack
Anyone who bothered to read ANY article on that incident, would have realised that Aiden Stewart did not actually suffer a heart attack.
He quickly recovered on the field, and even though he was sent to the hospital (out of an abundance of caution), he only had a panic attack.
We thought my boy had a heart attack. He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down.
It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack. The lad wanted to do well, pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad.
To be clear – Aiden Stewart did NOT suffer from a heart attack at all. He only had a panic attack.
It is currently unknown if Aiden Stewart was vaccinated against COVID-19, because his vaccination status was never publicly revealed.
Rod Stewart has been a strong advocate of COVID-19 vaccines, even slamming those who chose not to get vaccinated as “killers”. He also banned unvaccinated people from attending his party.
It makes me angry, especially in America where they talk about “It’s my right, it’s my freedom’. No it’s not! Because you are a killer, and you can be killed.
We have a big party at the house every year. We have a marquee and a band. We’re just going to make sure everybody has been tested. It’s dead simple. If you haven’t been tested, if you haven’t got the two vaccines and the booster, you can’t come.
That said, Rod Stewart was not an advocate for a vaccine mandate in the United Kingdom, and said he understood why pregnant women might hesitate:
I don’t want to get into that one, people are entitled to their views. But I strongly advise people to go and get vaxxed. I can sort of understand it with pregnant women.
In light of that, it is impossible to know if Rod Stewart vaccinated his 11 year-old son, Aiden. He may be a strong advocate of the vaccine, but we cannot just assume he vaccinated his son.
I should point out that there is no vaccine mandate in the United Kingdom.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing child deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

Did the University of Western Ontario student Spencer Cornelis die after getting the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : UWO Student Spencer Cornelis Died From Vaccine!
Anti-vaccination activists have been claiming the University of Western Ontario student Spencer Cornelis died after getting the COVID-19 vaccine!
Here are some examples on social media:
Canadian University [University Western Ontario) ends vaccine mandate after two students (Spencer Cornelis and Megha Thakur), die unexpectedly. Both vaccinated.
🔥@WesternU cancels COVID Vaccine mandates after 2 “sudden” deaths. Spencer Cornelis, age 20, died Oct.18, 2022. Megha Thakur, age 21, died Nov.24, 2022 Western University is already hiding replies referring to their student “sudden deaths”.
Dr William Makis @MakisMD still on Gettr:
🔥 Western University cancels COVID Vaccine mandates after 2 Western students aged 20 and 21 “died suddenly” 🔥
Their names were Spencer Cornelis (age 20) and Megha Thakur (age 21) FFS make is stop😭
No Evidence UWO Student Spencer Cornelis Died From Vaccine!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Spencer Cornelis’ Cause Of Death Still Unknown
Spencer Harrison Curt Cornelis who was studying Management and Organisational Studies at the Western University, died unexpectedly on October 18, 2022.
His family celebrated his life in his obituary, but did not mention any cause of death. So there is ZERO EVIDENCE that Spencer Cornelis died from the vaccine.
He could easily have died from the many causes of unexpected death in someone that young – vehicular accident, sudden cardiac arrest, suicide, misadventure, drug overdose, etc.
Unless and until an autopsy is carried out, or his family reveals his cause of death, anyone who claims that Spencer Cornelis died from the vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #2 : Unknown If Spencer Cornelis Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is currently unknown if Spencer Cornelis was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to blame the COVID-19 vaccine for his death.
Students attending classes at the University of Western Ontario are required to be vaccinated to enter campus.
However, Spencer was a licensed real estate agent who worked for The Realty Firm Inc. since May 2022, according to his LinkedIn page
So it is possible that he may have been studying remotely as Western University offers Distance Studies for working adults. In that case, he may not be vaccinated at all, as there is no vaccination mandate in Canada.
Fact #3 : UWO Still Recommends COVID-19 Vaccination
On November 29, 2022, the University of Western Ontario (UWO) announced that it was revoking its long-standing vaccination policy requiring “students, employees, and visitors to be vaccinated to come to campus“.
This decision had nothing to do with the two recent deaths of their students, but was based on “the latest consultation” with their “medical experts and local public health”.
This decision likely had to do with the fact that most Canadians are already fully-vaccinated – some 80.8% of the population in Ontario, where UWO is located.
It comes after Public Health Canada’s lifted its own requirement for proof of vaccination to “enter Canada, or board a plane or train in Canada” as well as “travel within Canada and flights or trains leaving Canada” on October 1, 2022.
Western University still continues to recommend that its students, employees and visitors stay up to date on their vaccinations:
[V]accination continues to be the best defence against severe illness and hospitalization. We strongly encourage everyone to remain up to date on their vaccinations.
If Western University revoked their vaccine mandate because two students died from the vaccines, they would have NOT recommended that everyone should still get the booster dose.
In fact, it should be noted that Western University issued a booster dose mandate for the Fall 2022 semester on August 22, 2022 that they successfully defended in the Ontario Superior Court.
They would not have done that if the earlier COVID-19 vaccinations were not proven to be safe and effective.
Fact #4 : University Of Toronto Still Requires COVID-Vaccination
Some anti-vaccination activists are claiming that Western University is the only university to require a vaccine mandate. That’s false. The University of Toronto also had a vaccine mandate for all students studying and living on campus.
The vaccine requirement for on-campus students was lifted on May 1, 2022, but students who choose to live on-campus for the 2022-2023 academic year are still required to be fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, including at least one booster dose.
If there is any evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine and/or booster doses are dangerous, the University of Toronto would have lifted its vaccine mandate as well.
The truth is – the vaccines have been proven safe and effective. Which is why the University of Toronto maintains that “vaccination is the most important way that individuals can protect themselves against COVID-19”.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Students Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing student deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of student deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.

Did the University of Western Ontario end its vaccine mandate after two students died of the COVID-19 vaccines?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Western University Ends Vaccine Mandate Over Student Deaths!
Anti-vaccination activists have been claiming in recent days that the University of Western Ontario ended its vaccine mandate after two students died of the COVID-19 vaccines!
Here are some examples on social media:
Canadian University [University Western Ontario) ends vaccine mandate after two students (Spencer Cornelis and Megha Thakur), die unexpectedly. Both vaccinated.
Western University in London Ontario has reversed their vaccine mandates after two vaccinated students died suddenly.
Western University, the only Canadian university to require 3 vaccinations to attend, has just dropped their vaccine requirements.
Because of science. Oh, and a 21 year old student there and a TikTok star has just died of a heart attack.
Western University Did Not End Vaccine Mandate Over Student Deaths!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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 : Western University Revoked Vaccine Mandate
On November 29, 2022, the University of Western Ontario (also known as Western University) announced that it was revoking its long-standing vaccination policy requiring “students, employees, and visitors to be vaccinated to come to campus“.
This decision had nothing to do with the two recent deaths of their students, but was based on “the latest consultation” with their “medical experts and local public health”.
This decision likely had to do with the fact that most Canadians are already fully-vaccinated. According to the Government of Canada:
80.4% of the population (over 24.3 million) completed their primary series vaccination
83.1% of the population received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine
80.8% of the population in Ontario completed their primary series vaccination
83.9% of the population in Ontario received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine
It comes after Public Health Canada’s lifted its own requirement for proof of vaccination to “enter Canada, or board a plane or train in Canada” as well as “travel within Canada and flights or trains leaving Canada” on October 1, 2022.
Fact #2 : Western University Still Recommends COVID-19 Vaccination
Western University still continues to recommend that its students, employees and visitors stay up to date on their vaccinations:

The truth is – the vaccines have been proven safe and effective. Which is why the University of Toronto maintains that “vaccination is the most important way that individuals can protect themselves against COVID-19”.
Fact #4 : No Evidence Spencer Cornelis Died From Vaccine
Spencer Harrison Curt Cornelis who was studying Management and Organisational Studies at the Western University, died unexpectedly on October 18, 2022.
His family celebrated his life in his obituary, but did not mention any cause of death. So there is ZERO EVIDENCE that Spencer Cornelis died from the vaccine.
He could easily have died from the many causes of unexpected death in someone that young – vehicular accident, sudden cardiac arrest, suicide, misadventure, drug overdose, etc.

So it is possible that he may have been studying remotely as Western University offers Distance Studies for working adults. In that case, he may not be vaccinated at all, as there is no vaccination mandate in Canada.
Fact #6 : Megha Thakur’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown
Megha Thakur (born July 17, 2001) was a TikTok star and a student at the University of Western Ontario who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 24, 2022.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the light of our life, our kind, caring, and beautiful daughter, Megha Thakur, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on November 24, 2022 in the early morning hours.
Megha was a confident and independent young woman. She will be dearly missed. She loved her fans and would have wanted you to know of her passing. At this time, we request your blessings for Megha. Your thoughts and prayers will be with her in her onward journey
– Megha’s loving parents
Megha Thakur’s parents did not reveal her cause of death. They also did not claim that she died from her COVID-19 vaccination.
Until and unless an autopsy is conducted, or her family publicly reveal her cause of death after an autopsy, anyone who claims that Megha Thakur died of this or that cause is most likely lying to you.
Fact #7 : Megha Thakur Had Physical + Mental Health Issues
Even though we do not know her cause of death, it should be noted that Megha Thakur had her share of physical and mental health issues.
On July 17, 2022, Megha posted a TikTok video in which she revealed that she suffered a heart attack, which she blamed on anxiety and stress.
Megha Thakur did not just deal with anxiety and stress. She was also depressed for many years, as she revealed in an October 11, 2020 Instagram post.
Fact #8 : Unknown If Megha Thakur Received A Booster Dose
Megha Thakur never posted about getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but it is very likely she was fully-vaccinated, as Western University (where she studies) requires “students, employees and visitors to be vaccinated to come to campus“.
She lived on campus for the first year, and would have received two doses of the vaccine last year.
Anti-vaccination activists are blaming a recent booster dose for her death, but there is no evidence she received one.
Western University’s deadline for getting a booster dose was January 9, 2023. So it is possible that Megha Thakur never received a booster dose since she lived off-campus in her second year there.
Fact #9 : Claims Of Students Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing student deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of student deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next student tragedy…

Did TikTok star Megha Thakur die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Megha Thakur Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Megha Thakur died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 21-old TikTok star died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS)!
Here is a selection of social media posts accompanying links or articles on her death:
Fans believe Western University student, Megha Thakur, died after taking Pfizer vaccine
“Vaccinated TikTok Star Megha Thakur “Dies Suddenly” at 21 Following Recent Heart Attack” Another VAX fatality?
Megha Thakur had over 1 million followers on TikTok and was a student of @WesternU. She had received a booster shot to attend Western University and right after her death her university proceeded to dropped their vaccination mandate.
No Evidence Megha Thakur Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity 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, and what we know so far…
Fact #1 : Megha Thakur Died In Early Morning Hours
Megha Thakur (born July 17, 2001) was a TikTok star and YouTuber, who originated from Indore, India, but migrated to Brampton in Ontario, Canada when she was just an infant.
According to an Instagram post by her parents, Megha Thakur suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 24, 2022.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the light of our life, our kind, caring, and beautiful daughter, Megha Thakur, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away on November 24, 2022 in the early morning hours.
Megha was a confident and independent young woman. She will be dearly missed. She loved her fans and would have wanted you to know of her passing. At this time, we request your blessings for Megha. Your thoughts and prayers will be with her in her onward journey
– Megha’s loving parents
Fact #2 : Megha Thakur’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown
Megha Thakur’s parents did not reveal her cause of death. They also did not claim that she died from her COVID-19 vaccination.
Until and unless an autopsy is conducted, or her family publicly reveal her cause of death after an autopsy, anyone who claims that Megha Thakur died of this or that cause is most likely lying to you.
Fact #3 : Megha Thakur Had Physical + Mental Health Issues
Even though we do not know her cause of death, it should be noted that Megha Thakur had her share of physical and mental health issues.
On July 17, 2022, Megha posted a TikTok video in which she revealed that she suffered a heart attack, which she blamed on anxiety and stress.
I have really bad anxiety, which turned into stress, which turned into a heart attack. So I’ve been dealing with that.
In response to a fan’s question, Megha Thakur confirmed that she did indeed have a heart attack, and she had been taking time for her mental and physical health.
thank you 🫶🏽 I’ve been taking the time for my mental and physical health and love y’all so much for still being here
Fact #4 : Megha Thakur Was Depressed For Years
Megha Thakur did not just deal with anxiety and stress. She was also depressed for many years, as she revealed in an October 11, 2020 Instagram post:
It was awful, I didn’t want to be alive anymore, and nearly lost my life. Too many people choose suicide over their betterment because mental health awareness is not at all where it should be.
You need to seek out ways to improve your mental health literacy to help yourself and others – regardless of how much you think you already know.
It may be world mental health day, but today will not be the only day I speak on this. Remember to take care of yourself too. You are important.
Fact #5 : Megha Thakur Was Likely Fully-Vaccinated
Megha Thakur never posted about getting the COVID-19 vaccine, but it is very likely she was fully-vaccinated, as Western University (where she studies) requires “students, employees and visitors to be vaccinated to come to campus“.
She lived on campus for the first year, and would have received two doses of the vaccine last year.
Anti-vaccination activists are blaming a recent booster dose for her death, but there is no evidence she received one.
Western University’s deadline for getting a booster dose was January 9, 2023. So it is possible that Megha Thakur never received a booster dose since she lived off-campus.
If she stayed on-campus, then she would be required to get a booster dose before moving into her residence in October 2022.
However, Megha Thakur only lived on-campus, in Delaware Hall, in her first year, before moving to Saugeen to work in her second year.
Fact #6 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Megha Thakur received a booster dose, she would have been vaccinated more than 2 months ago.
She cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many weeks 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 #7 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Causes Of Death
COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s a heart attack, SADS or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will die from other causes of death.
It is therefore ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame all deaths of fully-vaccinated people on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.
Fact #8 : 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 TTS 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.
Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) 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 #9 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false celebrity claims!
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Anti-vaccination activists claim that 13 year-old Jackson Mohr died from vaccine-induced heart attack!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Jackson Mohr Died Suddenly From Vaccine-Induced Heart Attack!
People are claiming that 13 year-old Jackson Mohr died from vaccine-induced heart attack, after the infamous Died Suddenly video and Twitter account featured him!
13 year old Jackson Mohr #diedsuddenly from a heart attack. His parents found him unconscious in bed and rushed him to the hospital. He died 3 days later. He won cadet of the year, and had a bright future. RIP soldier 🙏
*13* years old‼️#RIP #JacksonMohr #Genocide ‼️ #DiedSuddenly‼️ #Arrest‼️ #JusticeForJackson‼️
Seems like more than ever kids and young healthy adults are dying suddenly in 2022? What is causing this?? 💉💉💉
Truth : Jackson Mohr Did NOT Die From Vaccine-Induced Heart Attack!
It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all 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… and the current facts that we know so far.
Fact #1 : Jackson Mohr Died From Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Jackson Mohr died from sudden cardiac arrest on April 22, 2021 – more than 1.5 years before the Died Suddenly video featured him.
His parents found him unresponsive in bed on the morning of April 19, gave him CPR and rushed him to the hospital, where he died 3 days later.
Jackson Mohr’s cause of death was confirmed to be sudden cardiac arrest, and not from a heart attack or any vaccine-related complications.
Fact #2 : Cardiac Arrest Is Not A Heart Attack
While many anti-vaccination activists claim that Jackson Mohr died from a heart attack, he actually died from a different heart condition – a sudden cardiac arrest.
An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to t he heart muscle is abruptly cut off, usually due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries.
A sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when an electrical malfunction causes the heart to beat irregularly or stop beating completely.
As this easy comparison from the American Heart Association shows – a heart attack is a circulation problem, while a cardiac arrest is an electrical problem.
The US FDA only approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for 12-15 year-old adolescents on May 10, 2021, with the vaccination programme officially started on Thursday, May 13, 2021.
Jackson Mohr was found unresponsive on April 19 – 24 days before the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was made available for his age-group.
Some anti-vaccination activists gleefully point out that Moderna conducted a trial of their mRNA vaccine from April 1 to June 11, 2021 in 12-17 year-old adolescents.
While it is plausible that Jackson Mohr may have participated in this Moderna vaccine trial, there is no actual evidence he participated in this or any other vaccine trial.
The likelihood that he participated in this trial is incredibly small – about 0.028%. Only 2,489 adolescents received the Moderna vaccine in that trial, out of approximately 8.9 million adolescents aged 12-17 in 2021.
And here’s the kicker – if he actually participated in the Moderna trial, he would have died mid-trial, and his death would have been required to be reported in the study.
Guess what – the Moderna vaccine trial for 12-17 year-old adolescents was a success, with “no deaths, MIS-C, or adverse events of special interest” reported.
So we can pretty much confirm that Jackson Mohr was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Fact #4 : Cardiac Arrest Is A Common Cause Of Sudden Death
Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that young, healthy people do not suddenly die from cardiac arrest. The truth is – people have been dying from cardiac arrest since time immemorial, long before any vaccine was invented.
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.
For example, 7 year-old Aidan Silva collapsed and died from sudden cardiac arrest while working on a puzzle in the middle of the day.
“I called his name and he didn’t respond,” recalls his mother Christy Silva, of Downingtown, Pennsylvania. “I looked in the hallway and he was on the floor on his side, his back was to me. And when I looked at his face, he was blue.”
This happened on September 4, 2010 – more than 10 years before the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved!
In fact, sudden cardiac deaths are so common in children that San Antonio (where Jackson Mohr resides) has conducted a free heart screening program since 2011, called AugustHeart.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Children Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing child deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance.
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child’s death / tragedy…

Find out why 10 year-old Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique tragically collapsed and died suddenly in school, and why she did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Claim : Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique Died From Vaccine Sudden Death!
Anti-vaccination activists are claiming that 10 year-old Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique collapsed and died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS)!
Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique, 10 RIP
“A fit and healthy girl aged just 10 years old suddenly died after she collapsed at school.” “believed to have sufferred brain hemorrage”
Truth : Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique Did NOT Die From Vaccine!
It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all child 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…
But before I start, I would like to point out that it is unbelievable how low they would go. They didn’t even bat an eye in lying about a young girl’s death. They have no shame at all.
Fact #1 : Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique Died From Brain Haemorrhage
10 year-old Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique collapsed in her school on Wednesday, 9 November 2022, and was taken to the Pindersfield Hospital in Wakefield.
She was later transferred to the Leeds General Infirmary where she died in the early hours of Monday morning, 14 November 2022.
As she was of the Muslim faith, her funeral took place that very day – at 1 PM, at the Jamie Masjid Swafia mosque in Wakefield, followed by a burial service at the Wakefield Cemetery.
A family spokesperson said that it was believed that Rai-Lèyah suffered a brain haemorrhage.
So let me be clear – Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique died from a brain haemorrhage, not the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fact #2 : Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique Was Healthy
Rai-Lèyah was described as a fit and healthy girl, which would rule out myocarditis – which antivaxxers often blame for any sudden death of a child.
If Rai-Lèyah had been suffering from myocarditis, she would have had noticeable symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, etc.
A brain haemorrhage (also known as a cerebral haemorrhage) is a type of stroke that occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and causes a loss of blood supply to the affected part of the brain.
The blood that pools in the brain not only increases pressure on the surrounding tissues, it irritates and causes them to swell as well – a condition known as cerebral oedema.
The pressure from the pooled blood (known as a haematoma) further cuts off blood supply, and kills even more brain cells. If not quickly removed or relieved, brain herniation may occur, eventually killing the person.
A brain haemorrhage is a sudden and extremely serious medical emergency that quickly results in the person losing consciousness and collapsing – precisely what happened to Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique.
Fact #4 : Childhood Brain Haemorrhage Is Quite Common
Anti-vaccination activists falsely claim that children do not die from brain haemorrhage.
The truth is – stroke is among the top 10 causes of death in childhood, with haemorrhagic stroke accounting for about half the deaths.
Based on a 2003 study of a California-wide hospital discharge database, the incidence of childhood stroke is about 2.3 cases per 100,000 children every year.
The United Kingdom has about 14.4 million children (under the age of 18), so roughly there should be about 33,120 cases of childhood stroke every year, of which approximately 15,840 are brain haemorrhages.
Haemorrhagic stroke in children is devastating, with approximately 25% of cases ending in death, and 42% of those who survive have to live with significant disability.
Fact #5 : Vaccines Cannot Cause A Brain Haemorrhage
Just in case there is any doubt – no, vaccines cannot cause a brain haemorrhage.
No matter how magical you believe vaccines are, they cannot go into your brain and cause an artery to burst.
Brain haemorrhages are often caused by trauma, but this is unlikely since Bill did not get hit on his head with a hockey stick.
Therefore, it is likely that he may have an aneurysm or even an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), both of which can present without symptoms for a lifetime, but can suddenly burst.
Fact #6 : Unknown If Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
It is currently unknown if Rai-Lèyah Parveen Saddique was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that she died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
Casey Barr, who claims to live around the corner from Rai-Lèyah, claimed that Rai-Lèyah was unvaccinated. But frankly – there is no way to know for sure, unless her family reveals her vaccination status.
Rai-Lèyah could very well be unvaccinated, as the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United Kingdom, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.
For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!
