Damar Hamlin's Collapse & The Inevitable mRNA Vaccine Questions

Excellent, even-handed analysis of what may have caused Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest by Dr. Buzz Hollander. 

The above is a graph showing the causes of death for 64 NCAA athletes who died of cardiac arrest while playing sports from the article. Just 2% were due to commotio cordis with a larger slice of the pie (9%) were caused by myocarditis. Of course that doesn't show it wasn't commotio cordis or that it was myocarditis but it does illustrate those two causes make up just 11% of the causes of death shown from these 64 autopsies. Meaning there's many other causes that also need to be considered. No need to rush to blame one thing over another without the facts being known.

Also found this observation interesting because I was thinking the NFL or individual teams may move in this direction:

Proponents of adding an echocardiogram - or even cardiac MRI - to the standard Combine testing will arise; but that will add a litany of false positives threatening player's careers with the upside of preventing a death or two per century.

According to the current data that's how rare thee events are. Of course I would also add that all 64 of those autopsies were made pre-mRNA shots so we should be keeping our eyes and minds open to new data.

Funny Because Its True
