Dr. Aseem Malhotra’s Warning has Reached Icelandic Sportsmen Who Push Back Against Covid Vaccine Mandate

by Thorsteinn Siglaugsson
30 November 2022 12:34 PM

The Icelandic Handball Association is now investigating the rationale behind a new directive from the International Handball Federation requiring all players to receive yet another COVID-19 vaccine booster to be allowed to take part in the World Championship in Sweden and Poland next January.

“We were really surprised that these requirements were imposed on us now, when we received notifications from the International Handball Federation (IHF), regarding mandatory vaccination of players,” Róbert Geir Gíslason, General Manager of the Icelandic Handball Association told Icelandic online newspaper Fréttin on November 29th.

Fréttin contacted Mr. Gíslason and sought more information about reservations and requirements for players and coaches, and whether they were going to comply with these rules. As is well known among fans, Iceland is one of the participating nations in this competition and is predicted to be successful in the tournament.

Mr. Gíslason said that additional material was still being received from the IHF about these issues and others about the tournament, but that the directions changed from time to time and now the third set was expected.

“We didn’t expect this, since the pandemic is officially over and all restrictions have been lifted,” Gíslason said. He said the Icelandic association is analysing the situation of the players, most of whom have already had Covid and most have also been vaccinated, and they are also waiting for further information from the IHF. “This might affect 10 players or 20 players, it remains to be seen,” he said.

As for the health risks from the Covid vaccines, Gíslason said they had just heard from a very well-known British cardiologist who was at a conference in Norway a while ago where he strongly warned players against getting vaccinated; it could have a significant impact on their career. (This is most probably the cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who was at a conference in Oslo earlier this month).

Gíslason also told Fréttin’s reporters about his own experience. He said he first got Janssen and “a quarter of an hour later“ Janssen was no longer allowed because of heart problems. Then he got Moderna and “another quarter of an hour later” Moderna was no longer allowed because of heart problems. And then finally he got Pfizer, which has also been linked to heart problems.

It is of course natural that sportspeople worry about the detrimental health effects from the COVID-19 vaccines. Last spring the Icelandic Football Association hosted a meeting on athlete heart problems hoping for explanations from renowned German cardiologist Dr. Martin Halle, who unfortunately seemed to be doing his best to obscure the real reasons. Mr. Gíslason’s comments and response to those new requirements show sportspeople have started to demand real answers and Dr. Malhotra’s dire warnings surely add to their concerns.

Hundreds of dead ‘sportsmen’ since the start of the Stabbinations. Hundreds. Yet they want ‘proof’? FFS.

Healthy young 30 yr footie stud. 8 pack stomach. Chance of dying from Rona – 0%. Chance of dying from heart disease as a future middle aged saggy – 5.8%. Even on the cycling tours some stars could not participate – various conditions and issues post Jabbering.

$cience says – take the clot shot. You have no risk of dying. Protect Granny. Do your duty and if you die – it was the Climate thingy changey whatevering wot dun it.

What alarms me is that most of my friends-in-real-life agree sincerely and not facetiously with your last paragraph. Even more alarming is that they believe it would have been a lot worse if we had not had The Lockdowns and vaccinations, just like the BBC tell them. However, the most terrifying thing they all want to “move forward” and have not the slightest intention of investigating what really happened during The Lockdown Hysteria, and its still-impactful legacy. They are “comfortable”. Yet “the comfort zone is where dreams go to die”. I have no doubt that they will sign up to the Oster Declaration, and will toddle off in the EVs to be first in the queue for their fifth jab when WHO launch the Rho Variant or mFlu.

Sad isn’t it. Been reading up on ‘Scientism’ CS Lews, HG Wells (The Open Conspiracy), J.D. Bernal, Hannah Arendt, A. C. Clarke, GK Chesterton etc. Even Tolkien predicted this (the one Ring to manage all things and machines). Puts Shelly’s Frankenstein (technology out of control) in perspective.

Huxley summarised it nicely when he wrote that the population after endless psychotropic drugging, programming and terror, would demand their own enslavement.

Believe, yes. How many of them could produce a reasoned – and bullet proof – analysis of what happened in Belarus in support of their beliefs, where apparently all-cause mortality was similar to surrounding countries during the shamdemic (and, lest we forget, Belarusian spectator sport continued throughout)? I had a right ding dong with a “vaccine” and lockdown zealot, who failed to come up with proper answers to some of my key points. Keep buggering on…

Even if the vaxxes are harmless, there is literally no reason to mandate them apart from pharma’s sales plan and governments exercise in authoritarianism.

A Canadian DJ has had a heart attack after feeling sluggish and unwell for a year. Previously, he attacked people for supporting bodily autonomy.

How many people are now willing to state publicly “If this vax is dangerous, let God strike me down” only to then collapse literally on stage during the rant….

The proper answer is a lawsuit against the IHF.
How can it be possible that they or any other such body can mandate this?!
How is it possible that this is not being challenged?!

But this is the world that has been unleashed in us now

Bureaucrats in every corner of the world feel now empowered and justified in demanding that people subject themselves to certain medical treatments.

These aren’t doctors or medical professionals of any kind. They are common bureaucrats. Little petty tyrants on a power trip.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I think the proper answer is to tell them to stick this idea in some place where the sun doesn’t shine and ignore it. By force, if need be, that is, if some of their stooges actually have the chutzpah to physically assault people because of this. It’s high time that the organized wokesters learn that I’m working for a private entity doesn’t mean L’etat c’est moi.

Presumably Sweden and Poland don’t require these jabs.

But there is precedent in international organisations aspiring to create laws that are above national laws. The WHO for one.

I suppose the little tyrants at the International Handball Federation want to try their luck too. If the WHO can do it, why can’t they, they might ask.

The WHO, abomination it might be, is the world health organization, created based on treaties about health between sovereign state and (supposedly) staffed with health experts. The IHF is just a perfectly private organization with no legal authority over anyone, no special rights of its own (ie, it is not formally more equal than ordinary people) and it has certainly neither the authority nor the competence to make decisions about mandatory medical procedures.

They trying to do an Obama, ie, jumping onto a privately owned soap box while shouting Yes, we can! The proper answer to that is a firm No, you can not.

Or the Icelandic Handball Association could organise a boycott of the tournament with other national governing bodies.

I’m out of touch with the football situation but did all players and staff attending the World Cup need to be vaxxed or they weren’t allowed to go? All professional sports people the world over need to channel their inner Djokovic and prioritize their health above all else by just saying a defiant “no!” to this out dated and unscientific nonsense.

I suspect that like billionaires, most of them got a placebo or a shot besides the arm from their friendly hired doctors.

No they didn’t need to be vaccinated. Although, visitors did need to sign up to digital surveillance and control via the Hayya app: –

Bizarrely, they have blocked other potential visitors from the country until the end of the World Cup: –
