Grant Wahl : His Wife Reveals True Cause Of Death!

We now know why Grant Wahl suddenly collapsed and died while covering World Cup 2022 in Qatar, after his wife revealed his true cause of death!

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

 

Claim : Grant Wahl Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Grant Wahl died suddenly while covering World Cup 2022 in Qatar, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the renown American sports writer died from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

Let’s be frank- The Covid 19 vaccine killed Grant Wahl. #diedsuddenly

Grant Wahl was a big/vocal proponent of COVID vaccines. It’s all over his timeline. Another 💉💉💉💉SADs? RIP Grant

Thank god @GrantWahl was vaccinated and boosted. I can’t imagine how bad it would’ve been if he had a heart attack and died while unvaccinated. 🤡🌎

Grant Wahl : His Wife Reveals True Cause Of Death!

I wrote earlier about how Grant Wahl did not die from the so-called “vaccine sudden adult death syndrome”, which does not even exist but is a fixation of anti-vaccination activists.

This was confirmed by Dr. Celine Gounder, who is not only Grant Wahl’s wife, but is also an infectious disease expert who worked in the Biden administration’s COVID-19 Taskforce.

If the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous in any way, Dr. Grounder would be aware, and would not have allowed her husband to be vaccinated.

While anti-vaccination activists are mocking both Wahl and Dr. Grounder, the very fact that he was fully-vaccinated shows that they walked the talk, not like some anti-vaccination activists who turn out to be fully-vaccinated.

On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, Grant Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, revealed his true cause of death.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy on Grant Wahl, and determined that he died from “the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemoperricardium“.

As Dr. Celine Gounder noted, there was nothing “nefarious” about his death, and it had nothing to do with COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccines.

His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death.

To be clear – Grant Wahl’s true cause of death was a ruptured aneurysm, compounded by blood compressing his heart.

Grant Wahl did not die from any vaccine side effect. The rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a medical emergency that cannot possibly be caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.

An ascending aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge caused by a weakness in the wall of the heart’s main artery (aorta).

In many cases, an aortic aneurysm does not present with any symptoms, so people are often unaware they have one until it ruptures.

However, the chest pains that Grant Wahl experienced in the days leading to his collapse and sudden death could have been warning symptoms of an aortic aneurysm. His wife said as much:

The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms.

While anti-vaccination activists claim that aortic aneurysms are uncommon, they are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States.

CDC statistics attribute about 10,000 deaths in the year 2019 (before the pandemic started) to aortic aneurysms or dissections, with men accounting for 59%.

Once an aortic aneurysm ruptures, it causes life threatening blood loss. In Grant Wahl’s case, it was so severe he immediately collapsed and died very quickly.

Sadly, Grant Wahl will not be the last person whose sudden death was abused and misused to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

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

Truth : Grant Wahl Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

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 : Grant Wahl Had Acute Distress Before Collapsing

Grant Wahl (born December 8, 1974) was covering the quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands with other journalists on Friday, December 9, 2022, when he suddenly fell back in his seat during extra time.

Univision journalist, Rafael Cores, who was seated next to him, wrote that Grant was working on his laptop just before he suddenly collapsed.

I’m in shock. I was sitting next to him tonight. He was working on his story on his laptop, it was about 4 minutes before the end of the extra time. He was laughing at a joke we saw on Twitter only minutes earlier. I can’t believe it. My deepest condolences to @GrantWahl’s family

The journalists around him quickly removed chairs and called for medical assistance. A team of medics and a journalist with CPR training administered CPR and cardiac massage on Wahl for about 20 minutes.

Shockingly, the billion-dollar Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar did not have a single defibrillator available, and they were not able to resuscitate Wahl, who was later taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead – a day after his 48th birthday.

Tom Glancy, a special correspondent for Britain’s Sunday Times, was also seated next to Grant Wahl, and he tore into Qatari officials over Wahl’s death:

We all turned around to see a man in terrifying distress just behind us, clearly suffering some form of attack or seizure. We bellowed for a medic.

Why wasn’t there a defibrillator? That was the question we kept asking each other, as the medics pumped and pumped to no avail.

At this billion-dollar state-of-the-art stadium, which has a VIP suite so lavish it includes a bedroom, which will host the World Cup final, why was there no defibrillator to hand?

Many minutes passed, and we kept expecting it to come. But it never did.

Fact #2 : Grant Wahl Was Sick Days Earlier

A day before he died, Grant Wahl spoke on his podcast – Futbol with Grant Wahl – how he was feeling sick, after weeks of little sleep and high stress.

What he thought was a common cold became severe on December 3, when he started experiencing chest pain.

He tested negative for COVID-19 and sought medical help, but was told that he probably had a case of bronchitis and was given antibiotics and cough syrup.

My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you.

What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort.

I didn’t have Covid (I test regularly here), but I went into the medical clinic at the main media center today, and they said I probably have bronchitis. They gave me a course of antibiotics and some heavy-duty cough syrup, and I’m already feeling a bit better just a few hours later. But still: No bueno.

Fact #3 : Grant Wahl’s Cause Of Death Was Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm

On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, Grant Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, revealed his cause of death.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy on Grant Wahl, and determined that he died from “the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemoperricardium“.

As Dr. Celine Gounder noted, there was nothing “nefarious” about his death, and it had nothing to do with COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccines.

The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms. No amount of CPR or shocks would have saved him.

His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death.

Fact #4 : Grant Wahl Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Grant Wahl was vaccinated against COVID-19, receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on April 7, 2021. He announced that he was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, on May 12, 2021.

Wahl appeared to suffer no ill effects from the vaccinations, announcing, “Thrilled to get my 1st Pfizer Covid vaccine dose. Science!” and then “Fully vaxxed. LFG“.

Anti-vaccination activists usually like to blame myocarditis – a known rare side effect of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, but that generally affects teenagers and young adults in their early 20s.

Also, if Wahl had myocarditis, he would have had symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, and would not be able to endure the gruelling job of covering Qatar World Cup 2022 as a journalist!

Fact #5 : His Wife Served On The Biden COVID-19 Taskforce

Grant Wahl’s wife is Dr. Celine R. Gounder, a infectious disease expert who worked in the Biden administration’s COVID-19 Taskforce.

On Friday, December 9, 2022, she tweeted that she was grateful for the support shown to her, but was in complete shock.

I am so thankful for the support of my husband @GrantWahl’s soccer family & of so many friends who’ve reached out tonight.

I’m in complete shock.

I should point out that if the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous in any way, Dr. Grounder would be aware, and would not have allowed her husband to be vaccinated.

While anti-vaccination activists are mocking both Wahl and Dr. Grounder, the very fact that he was fully-vaccinated shows that they walked the talk, not like some anti-vaccination activists who turn out to be fully-vaccinated.

Fact #6 : 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 #7 : 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…

Is FIFA Giving Free 50GB Data For World Cup 2022?!

Is FIFA offering 50 GB of free mobile data to stream World Cup 2022 matches with no interruptions?!

Take a look at the viral offers, and find out why they are just scams!

Claim : FIFA Is Giving Free 50GB Data For World Cup 2022!

People are sharing viral offers for 50 GB of free mobile data to stream World Cup 2022 matches without interruption. Here are some examples :

* FIFA is giving people around the world 50GB of data for free to watch the 2022 Cartel [Qatar] World Cup.*
* I Have Received Mine.*
* OPEN THIS*

* FIFA memberi orang di seluruh dunia 50GB data secara percuma untuk menonton Piala Dunia Kartel [Qatar] 2022.*
* Saya Telah Menerima Milik Saya.*
* BUKA INI*

FREE 50GB DATA PLAN FOR ALL NETWORKS

PERCUMA PELAN DATA 50GB UNTUK SEMUA RANGKAIAN

 

Truth : FIFA Is Not Giving 50GB Free Data For World Cup 2022!

This is yet another SCAM circulating on WhatsApp and social media, and here are the reasons why you must avoid it!

Fact #1 : FIFA Is Not Offering Free Mobile Data

First, let me just say it out loud and clear – FIFA is not offering free mobile data anywhere in the world, just to watch World Cup 2022 matches.

FIFA makes its money through sale of television, marketing and licensing rights for World Cup 2022, so there is simply no reason for it to provide free mobile data to stream the matches.

Fact #2 : FIFA Would Never Give You Anything Free

Please do NOT be naive. No one is going to give you free data just to participate in a survey!

FIFA is a corporation whose business is to make money, not a charity to give you free data.

Fact #3 : They Do Not Use Official FIFA Domains

Genuine FIFA promotions would be announced on the official website at www.fifa.com, or their official social media accounts:

  • Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/fifaworldcup/
  • Twitter : https://twitter.com/fifacom
  • Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/fifaworldcup/

They would never run contests or promotions via dodgy domains like “subsidy.buzz”, “50g.kxoe1.xyz”, “50gb450.xyz”, or “zlqxt.top”.

Once you see those random domains, click delete. Or just ignore. DO NOT CLICK.

Fact #4 : They Are Advertisement Scams

After you click on the link, you will be redirected through a series of hidden advertisements before you arrive at the “offer page”.

The offer page will ask you a series of simple questions. Regardless of your answers, you will be congratulated and told you won the 50 GB free data plan for three months.

You will be asked to key in your mobile number to receive the free mobile data, but you will never receive anything. In one variant, you are even redirected to more advertisements, including a video advertisement.

Fact #5 : Brands Won’t Ask You To Forward The Contest

To get that free 50 GB data for three months, you are asked to share the “contest” with 12 friends or groups on WhatsApp.

That’s a clear sign of a scam. No brand will insist that you must share their contest or free offer with WhatsApp friends of groups.

Please do not click to forward their offer to your family and friends. They will not appreciate being scammed with your help!

Fact #6 : They Can Potentially Be Dangerous

Similar scams in the past have more dangerous variants, where you are asked to :
a) install an app, which is really a malware to keep sending you advertisements
b) enter your banking or credit card details, ostensibly to prove your identity or some other excuse

Needless to say – proceeding with this step will open you up to great risk of monetary loss. DO NOT PROCEED!

If you install their malware, you will start receiving promotions, some of which will ask you to send an SMS to receive expensive free gifts like laptops and smartphones.

If you proceed to send the confirmation SMS messages, you will be subscribed and billed for international premium SMS services.

This is VERY DANGEROUS. Never agree to download and register for any unknown app from a website.

Always download your apps from an official App Store like Google Play Store (for Android smartphones) and Apple App Store (for iPhones).

Fact #7 : They Are Just Another Example Of Online Scams

These are just more examples of online scams offering freebies.
