Even before\u00a0Damar Hamlin<\/a>\u00a0experienced a cardiac event during the Bills versus Bengals football game,\u00a0a new article<\/a> had been circulating claiming that cardiac events in athletes had increased markedly in 2022, and those deaths could only be attributed to vaccination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Sudden Cardiac Death in\u00a0athletes<\/a>\u00a0is a rare but serious event, even in the times before COVID and the COVID vaccine. Since COVID, there has been an increase in the awareness of these types of deaths, with much of the blame being falsely put to vaccines. But these deaths did occur prior to COVID vaccines, and COVID itself can cause\u00a0heart complications<\/a>\u00a0among athletes.<\/p>\n

The \u201cGood Sciencing\u201d article (which we would argue does not employ good science, but rather any number of logical fallacies), lists a number of people who have died in the past year, including someone who died after\u00a0crashing<\/a>\u00a0through a window and was found 30 meters from his home, and a former\u00a0basketball player<\/a>\u00a0who had been living with limited functionality in his heart the last few years after surviving heart attack that left him in a weeks-long coma. How Good Sciencing came to conclude that these deaths are clearly indicative of vaccine injury is anybody\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, Damar Hamlin experienced a cardiac event after receiving a blow to the chest. While the cause has not yet been determined, experts believe it is likely something called\u00a0commotio cordis<\/a>, a very rare disruption of the heart rhythm caused by an impact to the chest, which can be fatal without immediate medical intervention. Athletes with perfectly healthy hearts can suffer because it happens due to the blow to the chest that disrupts the electric signals regulating the heart\u2019s rhythm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
