“I’ve never seen anything like it. I played for 17 years, and I don’t think I saw a single person come off the football pitch with breathing difficulties or heart problems.
There were very rare occurrences—like Foé or Fabrice Muamba—but they were few and far between. That’s why you remember them: because they were so rare and so eye-opening.
But over the last year, it’s been unbelievable how many people—footballers, athletes in general—are just keeling over.”
— Former professional footballer, Matt Le Tissier
I want to highlight a recent video compilation by Checkur6 that documents over 1,000 unusual injuries in professional sports since the Covid shot, including 320 deaths, from March 2021 through September 30, 2025.
These are elite athletes we’re talking about—among the healthiest people in the world. And these are only the most high-profile cases. The video would be many times longer if it included deaths and collapses from non-professional sports as well.
Gaslighting you
You’ll find a number of papers and “fact-check” articles online claiming that there has been no increase in sudden deaths or health issues among athletes since the rollout of the Covid shot.
I’m still trying to enjoy the holiday spirit, so I’m not particularly interested in going into exhaustive detail about every method they use to gaslight you. But broadly speaking, the tactics include blended timelines, where the so-called “pandemic period” begins in early 2020—months before a single dose even existed—thereby diluting the very window being examined.
They also ignore exposure normalization. Entire seasons were canceled. Training facilities were closed. Travel was restricted. Competitive minutes collapsed in 2020–2021. Comparing raw event counts without adjusting for play time is misleading.
Basic logic says otherwise
More importantly, basic logic dictates that if you accept that the Covid shot has caused heart issues for some people—which at this point everyone admits, including the CDC, FDA, EMA, WHO, etc.—and given that athletes are among the people who took the Covid shot, then there would necessarily be an increase in heart issues among athletes.
Given the now-unanimous recognition that the Covid vaccine can cause heart issues, the most generous counterargument a true believer can offer goes something like this: “Yes, the shot can cause heart issues, but the effect is so vanishingly rare and so mild that it would be virtually undetectable at the population level.”
If you want to believe that, I’ve got some magic beans you’ll love.
At that point, congratulations—you’ve joined the Ian Weissman School of Medicine, whose members apparently believe the Covid shot is the elixir of life.
