So then why aren't you critically thinking yourself?
why don't you look up literature on its prevalence / incidence?
then look up what the common age group it happens in .
Then extrapolate what percentage of NFL plays make up for all the football plays in the country (college , HS , pee wee etc )
then you may see how rare this is
Well I think I am by at least asking questions and digging around, instead of just accepting 100% the first medical tweet diagnosis that gets released.
I think it's very relevant to point out that in all the years of NFL play, this has literally never happened. I've seen someone point out that this has occurred in football before, but they're all teens/kids and I'll bet a lot of them had pre-existing heart conditions, simply because testing at that level is not like the NFL, where they try very hard to weed out any such pre-existing conditions.
So maybe he had a pre-existing condition, but it seems unlikely given the level of testing the NFL does and their legal incentive to not allow players with such conditions to play. So if he didn't have a pre-existing condition, then what else could factor in? It seems reasonable to me to at least speculate that his heart was compromised in a way that made him more vulnerable, and it's fair IMO to ask well if his heart was compromised, why? I'm not coming to any conclusions but I think these are fair questions to ask.
I've read a lot of reports about athletes collapsing like this around the world but I took it with a grain of salt because it's not here, so it felt less reliable. But to see it happen here was eye-opening, when you take all the other reports into account, as well as many medical studies showing an increased risk of myocarditis in young men who have taken the vaccine.
Even with rigorous testing in the NFL and other sports leagues, there are underlying heart conditions that require more in depth testing than what's normally done, such as a heart CT or a nuclear stress test, to be detected.
My best friend collapsed and died of a heart attack in front of me while we were playing high school soccer. He was one of the fastest guys on our team. My state now requires defibrillators on site during games, as a result. In May of '21, Denmark's Christian Eriksen went into cardiac arrest for five minutes during a game. Fortunately he was resuscitated and after surgery is now playing again. Neither his club, Inter Milan (worth $1 Billion), or country detected anything in testing. In professional leagues there have been numerous heart related fatalities. None of them related to a vaccine.
