A further three football players collapsed during play this week, bringing new interest to the question of what might be the connection between this unusually high number of on-field medical emergencies and the Covid vaccines. Football pundit Trevor Sinclair got into hot water for raising the question on-air, while scientists argued that the disturbing trend is more likely to be a consequence of Covid itself than the vaccines.
Presumably something lies behind the recent rise, which according to some analysts has involved 21 sudden deaths (most heart-related) of FIFA players so far in 2021, compared to around 4.2 in an average year (with a standard deviation of 2.0). Assuming this isn’t a reporting phenomenon, this is an extraordinary spike and highly statistically significant.
The two major unusual factors this year are the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and the Covid vaccination programme. However, only two such deaths were reported in 2020, when Covid was also around, which would seem to lend weight to a vaccine explanation.
The vaccines are known to affect the heart and cardiovascular system in some cases, which is why blood clots and heart inflammation (e.g. myocarditis) are among the side-effects listed and why a number of countries have ceased using some of the vaccines in younger age groups. This means the idea that there could be a link between an unusual spate of heart-related emergencies and the vaccines shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.
On the other hand, some studies have shown that the risk of developing myocarditis is substantially higher following SARS-CoV-2 infection than vaccination.
A number of scientists have pointed out that insofar as cardiovascular problems arise from the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (and there seems to be some agreement that the spike protein is a large part of the causal story here) a bout of SARS-CoV-2 exposes the body to at least as much spike protein as a course of vaccination. Against that, those who suspect that the vaccines are playing a key role say that in fact most SARS-CoV-2 infections are not systemic but remain localised to the respiratory system, so have little impact on the cardiovascular system, whereas vaccination always allows the spike protein to have a systemic impact by gaining easy access to the bloodstream.
This matter would seem to merit much closer and more urgent attention than it appears to be receiving from regulators. It should be straightforward for those with access to the relevant data (most of which unfortunately is not publicly available) to analyse cardiovascular deaths according to vaccination status and prior infection status to see if there are patterns that may be a signal of concern.
An abstract appeared in the leading journal Circulation earlier this month which concluded: “The mRNA vaccines dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.” There was no study to accompany the abstract, however, and it has been heavily criticised by some specialists. Nonetheless, leading NHS Consultant Cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra stuck his neck out this week on GB News to reveal that a cardiology researcher colleague found similar results, but was not prepared to publish for fear of the repercussions for his or her career: “They aren’t going to publish their findings, they are concerned about losing research money.”
What are the wider trends in deaths?
Since July, ONS data shows there have been 20,823 excess deaths in England and Wales, with 11,531 involving Covid, leaving 9,292 excess deaths from other causes (if we make the conservative assumption that all Covid deaths are excess deaths).
Analysis of cause of death data for England shows that between July 4th and November 5th 2021 there have been 3,095 excess deaths involving heart failure, of which 854 could be put down to COVID-19, leaving 2,241 from other causes; 4,460 excess deaths involving ischaemic heart diseases, of which 1,413 could be Covid, leaving 3,047 from other causes; 1,307 excess deaths involving cerebrovascular diseases, of which 489 could be Covid, leaving 818 from other causes; and 8,109 excess deaths involving ‘other circulatory diseases’, of which 3,357 could be Covid, leaving 4,752 from other causes. These categories can overlap – a death certificate can mention more than one of them – so the figures can’t simply be added to get a grand total, and the underlying cause could be recorded as something different. Nonetheless, we are talking about thousands of additional cardiovascular deaths since the summer.
Despite this, ONS data shows that deaths where the underlying cause was cardiovascular have been below average in this period. At the same time, deaths where Covid is recorded as the underlying cause account for only a fraction of cardiovascular deaths in the period. So what was the underlying cause of all these excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions that weren’t Covid either? A query to the ONS came back suggesting that it was down to the significant excess in deaths where the underlying cause was recorded as “symptoms, signs and ill-defined conditions”. In other words, we don’t really know. So according to official data, there have been thousands of excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions in the past four months, but the underlying cause of many of those deaths is unknown. This would seem to warrant further investigation, and since the vaccines may be implicated, without delay.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
The simple fact that there is even the tiniest amount of uncertainty and questions are being asked, would ordinarily lead to the immediate removal of the medicine in question, in order to find the answers. The precautionary principle should and would always have been adopted previously. Why hasn’t it? Everyone should be asking this of themselves and the MSM.
Here we go again.
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
To cover up the deaths & injuries from the ‘vaccines’, introduce a new ‘deadly’ variant. Then blame the deaths and injuries on the nu variant. And bingo, the ‘vaccines’ are not killing and injuring people at all, it is Omicron!
Yes, why do you think athletes are walking away from their sport rather than take the clot shots and or mRNA shot. They are seeing first hand the results of these vaccines.
Pfizer trials: In the vaccine group, 5 people died of heart attacks over the 6 months. 1 died in the control group. That means if you get the vaccine you have a 500% increased risk of a fatal heart attack within 6 months.

Yet another prediction I called out earlier this year.
We’re going to see scientists and pundits increasingly conflating death and side-effects from the “vaccine” with covid as we head deeper into winter and the numbers start to rocket.
They’ve shown that they don’t need facts or to prove anything to convince normies. And they’ll continue to fool people as long as the news channels refuse to challenge them – this very much includes GB News.
You would think people would refuse the jab at least until the pharma companies accept liablity, its incredible that they don’t. The UK gov offer a one off payment of £150,000 for serious vaccine injury (govuk) but it may affect your benefits
You need to prove your injury was due to the vaccine, and not coincidental. The research to prove that will never be made because the government control the research funding.
Good luck showing you are vaccine injured.
I think the reason for that is that they don’t know – they’re totally unaware that the pharma companies have no liability.
I now and again mention this lack of liability to folk at work and in the pub, but they look at me blankly and say nothing. They appear to be thinking “This can’t be true”, but are too polite to say so.
And why should they believe me, a simple working man? They’ll only believe what a fella in a suit tells them on TV.
The scientists would say that.
Dr John Campbell in a YouTube podcast on 25 Nov explains how the mRNA jabs increase the risk of a heart attack. Worth watching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEBGl8MVE-c
Any sportsman/woman would be mad to have the Moderna/Pfizer jab.
Of course it’s the jab, otherwise we’d have seen the same effect prior to jabbing. Obviously.
My husband spoke to a senior army medic a couple of months ago: they were so overwhelmed with cardiac issues in the army post-inoculation they’d banned exercise for 48, then increased to 72, hours post-jab. At that point they had several hospitalisations and a couple of deaths.
I’ve just gotten around to reading Whitney Webb’s stunning piece on Moderna.
From their Nov 2018 SEC filing:
Most of our investigational medicines are formulated and administered in an LNP [lipid nanoparticle] which may lead to systemic side effects related to the components of the LNP which may not have ever been tested in humans. While we have continued to optimize our LNPs, there can be no assurance that our LNPs will not have undesired effects. Our LNPs could contribute, in whole or in part, to one or more of the following: immune reactions, infusion reactions, complement reactions, opsonation [sic] reactions, antibody reactions including IgA, IgM, IgE or IgG or some combination thereof, or reactions to the PEG from some lipids or PEG otherwise associated with the LNP.
Bear in mind that Moderna had a complicated licensing agreement throughout 2018 for its LNP wrapper from a pair of companies that themselves have been locked in a legal battle over its licensing (Arbutus/Acuitas) which appears from my google search to provide the LNP to Pfizer as well.
I recommend Dr David Martin unless you are already aware of this guy; his Fauci Dossier and follow up videos and interviews are worthy of some of your time to help understand the trail of corporate entanglement with SARS/MERS/AIDS etc.
Assuming this phenomenon is induced by the vaccines, which seems highly probable, it surely is also present in older men, but the cardiac events are being ascribed to age.
Based on the number of footballers etc involved, the odds of a cardiac event occurring must be very high post vaccination. Easily 1 in 500?
Aseem Malhotra for health minister now! A cardiologist who can see through this fog of deceit is needed. He’s already told us how Big Food and the sugar industry have been poisoning us for decades. Now he could open the eyes of at least some of the “sheeple” ( some of them still trust doctors unquestionably) to the scam of the last 2 years.
What happened to the precautionary principle? Surely, we should just stop doing something that might cause this devastation.
Why have the words “from the drug industry” been left off the end of the sentence lifted from Dr Malhotra’s television interview on British Institution research into a possible link between the mRNA vaccines and heart problems?
This information clearly passes the journalistic litmus test for being “in the public interest”, particularly at a time of increasing concern about the pharmaceutical industry’s influence over national and international health policy – all too evident during the current COVID “crisis”.
If anything cries out for a dose of healthy sceptisism, it is the incestuous relationship between the pharmceutical industry and the scientific/medical research institutions who benefit from Big Pharma’s big bucks.
Get to it!
When they were rolling out vaccinations in the army a couple of months ago, a senior army doctor told my husband they were overwhelmed with cardiac issues. They’d had to mandate no training exercises for 48hrs, later extended to 72hrs. They’d had one death and several serious hospitalisations at the time.
Oops posted this twice. I couldn’t see this earlier post so re-wrote it higher up. Admin pls remove this one?!
……………………………
Tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. The long-term effects of these vaccines have yet to manifest themselves fully yet.
If health was the concern you would expect some urgent and open analysis. Surely, it is possible to compare unvaccinated vs vaccinated and get an indication of significance.
Regardless, we should not be forcing medical intervention on anyone and least of all those that have no need for it.
This vaccine has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Normally if 20/50 people die a programme is stopped dead. Not with this. Its almost maniacal the way they’re proceeding, and they have the 5 to 11 year olds in their sights now..

It’s a possibility that the virus causes damage and vaccines exacerbate the problem. If that was the case then everyone could be right.
If bacon was found to cause cancer and somebody died from bacon induced cancer, was a few weeks/months of cancer to blame or the years of eating bacon?
Clearly we need some proper investigations to rule things out but I very much doubt anybody will be willing to put the resources into finding out.
When people are busy covering up and protecting backsides, vested money interests et al, the likelihood of any investigation, publicly funded or not, is zero.
We should not even entertain the notion that it’s Covid itself that’s causing the heart problems in athletes. At the very most we should limit ourselves to stating that this problem has emerged only after the vaccines were introduced.
By entering into a technical debate on the issue you’re falling into the trap laid by the vaxxers.
How can this phenomenon be linked to covid?
Last year – at the height of the pandemic and with no vaccines available there were no reports of players suddenly collapsing during training or on the pitch complaining of chest discomfort or pains at all – a friend of mine is an absolute football nut – keeps track of all the latest news and follows all the games very closely and if there were players dropping like flies last year as they have been doing this year then he would have defintely have told me about it because he is that sort of person – yet this year with millions of vaccines being given out suddenly we have football players (not only football players but players in other sports too) all suddenly dropping like flies complaining of chest pains or chest discomfort and being rushed to hospital – one player (Christian Eriksen of Denmark) had a cardiac arrest in front of millions of viewers for christ sake and had to be resuscitated during the Euros this year.
Personally, I think this is the tip of the iceberg and these vaccines have the potential to be much more lethal than we are… Read more »
It’s exactly what one would expect to happen if graphene hydroxide was in the ‘vaccines’.
It results in indestructible little carbon structures similar to razor blades swimming in your blood and injuring your blood vessels, especially when egged on by physical exercise or stress.
Oh, wait. It has been found in the ‘vaccines’….

You are such an optimist, Will. Suggesting that the vaccine affects the heart in only some cases is very generous. I would not be surprised if it affects the heart to some extent in all cases, but the damage is only brought to light by extreme exertion.
It’s coming to light in obvious way with football, possibly because it’s an endurance sport combined with sudden bursts of power and cardio. It’s might be the tip of the iceberg and most haven’t come to light yet. Grim.
Let’s hope that there are plenty of paramedics on standby at next year’s London marathon.
From the reddit group so credit to them….but this is quite something…
Look what else is an anagram of Omicron.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncomir
“An oncomir (also oncomiR) is a microRNA (miRNA) that is associated with cancer. MicroRNAs are short RNA molecules about 22 nucleotides in length. Essentially, miRNAs specifically target certain messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to prevent them from coding for a specific protein. The dysregulation of certain microRNAs (oncomirs) has been associated with specific cancer forming (oncogenic) events. Many different oncomirs have been identified in numerous types of human cancers.[1]
Oncomirs are associated with carcinogenesis, malignant transformation, and metastasis. Some oncomir genes are oncogenes, in that overexpression of the gene leads to cancerous growth. Other oncomir genes are tumor suppressors in a normal cell, so that underexpression of the gene leads to cancerous growth

I think that the whole question of “vaccine”-induced cardiac problems and fatalities across all age groups requires investigation.
I blame Thatcher, well, her and Ronnie. She opened the floodgates in the UK to big money Pharma picking off lucrative money-spinning research patents from UK universities (who were prevented from going it alone). This has enabled the string pullers to increasingly control the flow of grant money to captured centres of excellence, as a result we can no longer rely on these ‘experts’ to call out or otherwise put the brakes on unscrupulous drug-pushers. Ronnie was the one who made producers of children’s vaccine immune to prosecution for negligence or downright criminal malfeasance in drug development, trial conduction, and manufacture.
Interestingly, the letter to Dr Raine, head of the MHRA, calling for a halt to the roll out of the EAU’d gene therapy drugs, is signed by, largely, retired research professor of medicine – presumably because if they were still in post Bill Gates (wanted for murder in India apparently) and his chums would put the squeeze on the flow of grant money to their respective universities who were put in this position by aforesaid Thatcher who made them increasingly reliant on outside non-governmental research funding.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Thatcher corrupted this country by her adherence to money and power above all else.
If this were true then we would have seen these heart issues last year prior to the vaccine. As we didn’t, the conclusion is obvious.
If you look at ambulance call out rates for heart attacks and (well, and respiratory arrest) you’ll see that while there was an increase during each covid wave, this dissipated rapidly as cases fell. This is what you’d expect — the risk of myocarditis following natural infection is limited to a short time following the onset of symptoms.
However, since vaccination started ambulance call out rates have moved to a new high around 25% above the baseline level. This might be expected if there were longer term (up to 6 months or so) risks following vaccination.
I had been waiting to see if there would be a new peak following the boosters, but the emergence of Omicron means that everyone would just blame this instead.
Tim Spector reported on the vaccine reactivating Herpes viruses, although he didn’t know why. Herpes viruses are known to induce myocarditis and other cardiac problems, references available. Whether this is just the Pfizer vaccine is unclear as the demographic of those having this vaccine are also the ones more prone to cardiac problems.
That’s not true. The only preference that they’ve made is for a short time they avoided giving AZ to youngsters — this was between the times when the vaccines were assigned at random up to the point where they pretty much gave up on AZ.
