You can add possibly Shane Warne, cricketer from Australia, to the list. He passed away of a "suspected heart attack" today.

Steve it's important for the credibility of this effort that facts are checked. Christian Eriksen was not vaccinated as I understand it and as the report states. Unless you have evidence to the contrary. I'm an ardent supporter of your work but need to be accurate.

I had the same thought. Christian Eriksen being vaccinated was a debunked rumor and greatly reduces the credibility of everything here.

I'm not saying it cannot be true, but the specific rumor about 12 days was debunked, and all official statements from many sources including his club and the authorities say that he was not vaccinated yet. I live in Denmark and most of his demographic had not yet been offered vaccines until a month or 2 after his collapse.

Just because it was denied that he was jabbed doesn't mean it was so. I heard that before he collapsed the Danish Manager was bemoaning the fact that FIFA hadn't made jabs mandatory and other teams included unjabbed individuals, which rather suggests all Danish players were jabbed for him to make that statement.

All the participants had to be vaccinated, as in every sport event, at least in Europe. Will there ever be a total clarity?

Excellent list ✌️

Hey! Not to be a pain in the b... but:

"11/03/21 Illinois, USA Dead

David Wakefield, (27) New Zealand cricketer. Collapsed during training with myocarditis. Brought back to life with defibrillator, hospitalized three weeks in intensive care, required extensive rehabilitation before he could walk and talk. News Story"

This one's unclear, can he walk and talk now or is he deceased?

Following the article link I read "survival story", so I guess he managed to survive - would it be possible to delete the DEAD status? It's number 12 on the list.

I was reading this article https://www.straight.com/covid-19-pandemic/news/covid-19-conspiracy-theorists-need-our-help?fbclid=IwAR2ThUFjdEVmEo1nlqhD--SZyQ0N_RIZSiYaeiYeJWlg0C49O5g2jauyVeY

And it made me think of this article you wrote. Maybe you can reach out and talk some sense into this guy

This document is very valuable and must continue. Here in Brazil there are many cases and I'm looking to register, following the same format as you. Appreciate. Suzy Fleury, Psychologist, São Paulo, Brasil

It does seem that more justification/context is needed for these anecdotes. Also, a baseline relative to 2020 and 2019, would be insightful.

The first person on your list was 17 and died 01/Jan/2021, yet Op. Warpspeed started 04/Jan/2021 and was for 18 to 55 year olds. Explain.

Yes, but for high risk groups though - right?

The vaccinations (at least in the United States) began in December of 2020.

That's just the point, as Kirsch says,

"Note the number of deaths change as the vaccines are rolled out and athletes are forced to finally take them. See a difference in the number of reports per month?"

5, 4, 14, 8, 6, 18, 24, 35, 49, 66, 51, 10

the final 10 being only up till Dec. 5th.

And how do those numbers correlate with the sports season. Has anyone done a full principle component analysis of the data or looked at the statistical significance? Other factors? COVID itself?

I just thought you’d like to know that the Facistbook fake checkers are on to you jk 😂😂😂 https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/11/fact-check-claim-that-108-fifa-players-and-coaches-have-died-in-six-months-is-not-verified.html

I followed some links and saw one or two that had Covid recently and so it was attributed to the virus as opposed to the vaccine. I'm not disagreeing the vaccines can cause heart issues in young males, but the way the world is, someone disagreeing sees a link like that and dismisses everything. Did you just list all athletes dying of heart issues?

I would love to see an analysis of similar events pre covid ... I don't have time or resources to do it.

My wife, an acupuncturist, was treating a nurse who works at a major hospital in a small English. Nurse's husband a consultant at same hospital. Nurse stated that they had five or six friends, also medics, all fit - runners, tennis players, swimmers - who had recently retired. All had had strokes or cardiac problems.

Just saw a great (but horrifying) tweet on this subject:

What would happen if tens of millions of people had sub-clinical cardiovascular disease and didn't know it yet because they did not exert themselves like all these athletes?

Expand full comment

Yeah, it's amazing that you never hear anyone bring this up. All they say is, "Oh, it's mild." A mild illness that causes permanent heart damage? And they never mention the people who don't go do the doctor because the symptoms resolved after a few days, or they think it's heartburn or something else.

Yep. There isn't enough talk about this. I worry about this...

Number of insiders talking about pro athlete deaths from heart-related issues:

Referees - 0

Athletes - 0

Coaches - 0

Owners - 0

Athletes' spouses - 0

So, I guess it's up to us.

lmfao you absolute fucking blockhead. First of all, your hero image of Simon Kjaer helping Eriksen during the Denmark Finland match at Euro 2020 is not helping your cause. The CNN article YOU linked completely contradicts what you said. It says he had not been vaccinated.

Now, if you can get such a simple fact, so readily available and surrounding a high profile event, correct, why the hell would anyone else believe your gigantic blogpost of drivel and obvious medical ignorance? You are truly a pathetic excuse of a person.

one thing that I can count on.....the tell that outs all those not purely interested in seeking and identifying truth/facts....is the level of their lack of emotional control and unbridled eagerness for ad-hominem attacks.

a quote I heard recently " When you do not understand the facts, you are more likely to shoot the messenger than to seek to understand an assertion"

Also....I recently heard from someone whose 17 year old was diagnosed with GBS, that there is an unusual spike in GBS in Montana. Can anyone investigate? Is there a way I can vet that statement?

The fellow quoted as saying that Christian Eriksen didn't get vaccinated is Giuseppe "Beppe" Marotta, the CEO for sport of Italian football club Internazionale.

√ Eriksen's family was not asked.

√ Eriksen's doctor was not asked.

√ Eriksen himself was not asked.

Literally 77% of League players have been vaccinated (at two doses), as of the publishing of the Daily Mail article, "Christian Eriksen and Sergio Aguero's on-field heart problems 'have fuelled suspicion of Covid vaccines in Premier League players - with encouragement from Matt Le Tissier and Trevor Sinclair', say club medics, with around 100 stars still refusing the jab":

"77 per cent of Premier League players have received two doses of Covid vaccines and are classed as fully vaccinated."

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10339755/Premier-League-field-heart-issues-fuelled-suspicion-Covid-vaccines-players.html

Do you honestly think, with 77% of League players double-vaccinated, that the League CEO would admit that Christian Eriksen was vaccinated?

You might want to do research before commenting - today, tomorrow, and in the future. Thank you. #clotshot #myocarditis #spikeproteins
