Eastern Oregon Bear said:The bolded part is the point I was making. We don't know what was happening to Imo Essien. He may have had myocarditis or a blood clot. We don't know since we haven't heard a medical diagnosis about him. We don't even know for sure he'd been vaccinated. Most likely he was, but we don't know for sure. I was just countering movielover's immediate assumption that it was vaccine related. Just because you think you have a hammer, not everything is a nail.Zippergate said:Zero evidence. Yeah, if you ignore all the evidence, there is zero evidence.Eastern Oregon Bear said:There is also zero evidence to support movielover's insinuation that Imo Essien collapsing on the basketball court was caused by his vaccinations. That was the point I was making.oski003 said:Eastern Oregon Bear said:I had to remove a splinter last week. Damn vaccine!movielover said:
What additipnal consequences from the clot shot will emerge the next 5-10 years?
There is zero evidence that splinters are caused by covid vaccines. Due to lack of inspections, Moderna had some batches contaminated with metal and Johnson and Johnson ended up having to scrap all the contaminated batches made at emergent bio. However, those contaminations didn't cause splinters.
Of course, one cannot know with certainty the cause of any particular case but the link between the mRNA gene therapies and myocarditis is well established, as is the link between myocarditis and the risk for cardiac arrest. And multiple studies have shown that the virus itself does not increase the risk of myocarditis. So how do you explain the explosion in serious cardiac events suffered by athletes since the rollout of the jabs?
Bingo. Also, as I understand it, instances of vaccine-related myocarditis tend to happen soon after vaccination. If this guy was vaxxed then he probably got it 9-12 months ago so it would seem unlikely the two things are related.
But as you say, we don't know anything about his personal circumstances so it is irresponsible to suggest causes for his on-court collapse.
