You don’t have to be an expert to be concerned, or should only those who have read Molecular Biology of the Cell be permitted to voice their opinions?

@Travelnpack @deviousduck_ @ChrisChavez @LylesNoah Exactly.
And what were the other athletes going to do, throw away 4yrs of training to walk away from the final? Complain, even though there's no safety protocol to uphold a complaint?
And for the "it's just a cold to athletes" people - really?

@mpc_xetts @krassenstein Are you suggesting that most if not all of those athletes were playing high-cardio sports while sick with a virus?

And yes, there IS evidence of an increase in SCD in athletes since the vaccines came.
https://t.co/xkID685ozl
@Beatrice_Rosen Vous avez par exemple cet article mais vous pouvez faire par vous même une bibliographie complète en tapant "sudden death (ou SCD) athletes" dans les moteurs de recherche des bases de données scientifiques ou même dans Google !

@WillLCLovesAll @25_cycle @glenpyle Here's an interesting study: https://t.co/mYC1hcc3vp Maffetone et al. regarding the anomalous number of sudden deaths in athletes “post-COVID-19 and/or vaccination worldwide” with a 500% increase only in the FIFA members https://t.co/zCGxmT0G4S

Athletes and Sudden Cardiac Disease.
Increased COVID-related SCD appears to be due, at least in part, to a recent history of infection and/or vaccination that induces inflammatory and immune impairment that injures the heart.

@B_S_79 The increase in SCD isn’t whats being debated. Its what is causing it. To say it has been this commonplace is entirely fiction to help cope with the reality of whats actually happening to our world’s children and young people.

@stephaniemlee @GidMK Can you do a piece on this article next, @stephaniemlee?
The source is an anonymous blog called Goodsciencing. Their numbers are wildly inaccurate.
I’ve written emails to them, but have only received automated responses.
