Why have so many professional footballers suffered on-field collapses in such a short space of time? Wigan player Charlie Wyke was taken to hospital on Thursday. In the past week, John Fleck, of Sheffield United, and Sheriff Tiraspol’s Adama Traore also fell ill during games.
Last week, it was announced that Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero would retire after developing a sudden heart condition.
Could the covid jabs have anything to do with it?
“Absolutely not,” say the scientists. According to Prof Robert Dingwall, a public health specialist at Nottingham Trent’s School of Social Sciences:
“There are many reasons why on-field collapses may occur, even in clusters. We should all be careful not to blame any particular cause until they have been properly investigated.
It may be tempting to blame Covid vaccines but pundits do have a public responsibility not to fuel vaccine hesitancy without any real evidence that this is a common factor in widely separated events.”
In other words, please disperse, there’s nothing to see here.
According to The Telegraph:
TalkSport, for example, had to cut off Trevor Sinclair, 48, from a broadcast as he questioned whether Fleck, who collapsed during his side’s win over Reading, had recently had the jab. “I think everyone wants to know if he [Fleck] has had the Covid vaccine,” he said.
With former professionals, such as Ramon Vega and Matthew Le Tissier, also wading in to demand investigations into links, scientists responded by reminding them of their “public responsibility”.
“Given the track record of certain footballers in the field of anti-vaccine beliefs, it is totally irresponsible to make these unsubstantiated comments, as opposed to getting them properly dealt with,” said Prof Keith Neal, who has 25 years of experience in the research of the epidemiology of infectious diseases at the University of Nottingham.
Keith Neal is a disgrace to science. It is obvious that something is very wrong here. Footballers and athletes in other sports are collapsing. Nothing like this has ever happened before. So, what has changed in the lives of professional athletes? What is the common denominator?
The jabs.
