Conservatives use Damar Hamlin’s injury to peddle antivax conspiracy theories

[ElNono]

No way to know for sure. Looked like a normal tackle to me.

No way to know for sure…. BUT DA VACCINE!!!

Dr Karrin strikes again, smh

[baseline bum]

True

But, myocarditis and pericarditis are real side effects, particularly in young men. Its not a conspiracy theory.

They're worse side effects of COVID

[Leetonidas]

Always funny when some uneducated dolt that doesn't understand scientific studies runs to Google to find the first result and paste the link that supports his re ed viewpoint

[ChumpDumper]

But you are not saying the vaccine caused his cardiac arrest. You just want to promote that conspiracy theory.

[DarrinS]

True

You just want to promote that conspiracy theory.

I'm not ruling it out. There's a reason Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland paused Moderna for people under 30.

Actual cardiac arrests months or years later?

Tell us your conspiracy theory.

more showcasing of the inep ude of the Trump administration & Operation Warp Speed.

lmao of course Darrin is the first to volunteer his stupidity on this topic. Jesus Christ, read a ing book you mongoloid.

[ElNono]

Five decades ago, Detroit Lions wide receiver Chuck Hughes, 28, died of a heart attack when a blood clot dislodged after he was tackled.

Probably the COVID vaccine as well, tbh

[Will Hunting]

Trump Darrin blaming the Trump vaccine for a football injury

It did to me as well. I saw nothing malicious there.

My first thought was that he is on drugs - or perhaps genetically predisposed to heart disease.

Not out of the realm of possibilities that the Vax had some effect on him, but very unlikely overall unless he was vaxxed that day or something lol

antivaxxers believe there is a polymer left over forever and dislodges and kills you, because they dont know how science works

Im surprised this kind of thing has actually escaped a national TV audience.
Because it has happened before.
And it’s sort of silly to call a tackle in the NFL normal? What does this mean?
They hit each other and knock the crap out of each other on “normal” tackles. These are train wreck collisions.
Human bodies, even in great athletes, were not meant to take collisions like this. We just don’t hear about all the longer term affects other than what goes on in the brain. Having your body cavity accelerated like this tears all kinds of stuff up.

[Tyronn Lue]

Most likely the timing of the hit vs the heart rhythm, opening and closing of the valves (T waves).

[Adam Lambert]

The doctors in this article didn't even mention the vaccine, WHAT ARE THEY HIDING???

[Adam Lambert]

My first thought was that he is on drugs -

Oh what a surprise this was your first thought

[CosmicCowboy]

Sure are a lot of medical conclusions here based on political affiliation instead of currently unreleased facts..

[Isitjustme?]

Who were the others?

What about the thousands of other athletes that took the vax and are fine? dumbass

I think it was these guys

True, but they are wearing padding, right? That's probably why this is a once in generation occurrence.

Commotio Cordis refers to the sudden arrhythmic death caused by a low/mild chest wall impact. Commotio Cordis is seen mostly in athletes between the ages of 8 and 18 who are partaking in sports with projectiles such as baseballs, hockey pucks, or lacrosse balls. These projectiles can strike the athletes in the middle of the chest with a low impact but enough to cause the heart to enter an arrhythmia. Martial arts is a sport in which a strike of a hand can also cause the heart to change it’s rhythm. Without immediate CPR and defibrillation the prognosis of commotio cordis is not very good. This condition is extremely dangerous with rare survival.

Whether Hamlin has taken the vaccine or any boosters, and (if so) how many doses he’s had, isn’t publicly known either. He was in the league last season, when the NFL said “nearly 95 percent of players are vaccinated,” so it’s likely he’s had at least one COVID shot, but even if that’s the case, we have no idea if he’s had any since, and most of the already rare heart issues that arose after vaccination have occurred within seven days of getting one.

However, sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes has been a medical concern for years—see, for example, these peer-reviewed papers from 2016 and 2001—and there’s no evidence indicating that a vaccine first administered in December 2020 is a significant cause of it. Some anti-vaxxers point to VAERS, a public comment system run by America’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But since it allows anyone to say anything, medical professionals consider the data basically worthless, and the CDC emphasizes that VAERS reports do not show causality.

I agree, partisan conservatives think it's probably the vaccine even though there's no evidence, while partisan liberals think blaming the vaccine without evidence is re ed.

This kind of partisanship on both sides is a problem.

[Leetonidas]

Literally only Darrin is making a conclusion based on political affiliation tf are you talking about

[SpursforSix]

I'm not ruling it out. There's a reason Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland paused Moderna for people under 30.

Honestly, I trust these countries to make the more prudent decision. I don't believe they have the same problem with saying no to BigPhar as the FDA does.
