It's especially amusing/troubling (troubmusing? Hilarifying?) to see the unasked-for answers substantially DIVERGE: so far in the past two weeks I've seen the epidemic of heart failures and heart damage blamed on cold weather, hot weather, new imagined psychological conditions, and "being too fit," as well as COVID itself in 'fully vaccinated' victims.

The genes that make you predisposed to authoritarianism may be the same ones that make you susceptible to manipulation.

Boy, a proposed biological mechanism that has always been around in humans is somehow, suddenly manifesting itself to an unprecedented extent after an unprecedented rollout of an unprecedented vaccination technology.

I sure am glad we have illustrious guides in the media to explain this coincidence.

So, obesity is ignored as a factor of severe or fatal virus outcome, but being healthy is named as a cause for cardiac death. Upside-down world.

Ah yes, I also remember the good old times when obesity, not the fitness, was damaging the heart.

They are trying different approaches.

The first one I heard of was pollution.

Then post pandemic stress disorder.

Now this shit.

They must try harder!

With Fauci’s score card on saving lives he should be enough to at least “tar and feather” and run out of Government and the medical profession for life for blocking pre-treatment with HCQ. Personally I would help build the scaffolding for a gallows. You odds of dying from WuFlu in America was the highest in the World.

“As the world watched, Tony Fauci dictated a series of policies that resulted in by far the most deaths, and one of the highest percentage COVID-19 body counts of any nation on the planet. Only relentless propaganda and wall-to-wall censorship could conceal his disastrous mismanagement during COVID-19’ s first year. The US, with 4 percent of the world’s population, suffered 14.5 percent of total COVID deaths. By September 30, 2021, mortality rates in the US had climbed to 2,107/ 1,000,000, compared to 139/ 1,000,000 in Japan.”

Prepping the field for normalizing strokes in kids, MI's in healthy athletes, etc. as a form of CYA. Wonder if they care that some people are noticing.

I have learned many lessons since this whole thing has been going on. One, facts have no place in the minds of narrative believers. Two, any narrative, regardless of how ridiculous it is such as this one in this post, will be believed unquestioningly by the absolutely, unequivocally stupid people who have fallen for this whole thing. Sure that's harsh, sometimes honesty is that way.

The smoke screening and gas lighting remind me of a young child offering creative but not terribly plausible explanations for the "unexplainable" disappearance of cookies from the cookie jar.

We should switch the word order in the headline to make it slightly more honest: "A Sudden New Theory on Cardiac Deaths in Young Athletes." There we go.

What I find very disturbing lately is the number of radio ads "sponsored" by Pfizer/Bristol Meyers Squib that sound sort of like public service announcements about how to spot the signs of DVT, Stroke, and Afib. I've never heard these before. Just now, when I did a search for "Pfizer Bristol Meyers.." to see if I had the spelling correct, this older article came up (pre-covid) about a drug they are collaborating on - sounds like an anti-coagulant. Hmm..

Well, compare this to autism. Of course there have always been autistic people; in the olden days they were simultaneously so few as to be a noted anomaly yet so present as to become a cliche--the hermits of the wilderness and the eccentric bug collectors of the placid English village.

Just last week a news item noted that one in 40 American children is diagnosed with autism. It may well be true that expanded diagnostic criteria and intense professional scrutiny of any toddler not within a prescribed "norm" may be partly the cause--but still?!?!?! Any reasonable person must conclude the numbers are now off the charts.

It's not suspicious at all that these events are happening all of a sudden and at the same time. There is no special cause to see here. "These are not the facts you are looking for." "Move along, move along."

I have gone back and forth, from believing there was an "upper room" full of guys smoking cigars and twirling Snidely Whiplash moustaches, to thinking most of this crap can be explained by unfortunately coincidences of stupidity and greed interacting. When I look at the sheer number of people falling all over themselves, trying to exonerate the COVID-19 vaccines as freaking obvious harbingers of doom, I am perplexed. Is Pfizer paying that many bonuses on the sneak? Does BMGF control *that* much thought in science? Dayam!

Personally, I cannot wait to see and hear the next cacophony of bullshit that boobus Americanus will ingest and start parroting.

And now the same morons who swallowed these cacophonies of bullshit will be lining up to gulp and then regurgitate the preposterous idea that Comrade Biden and his merry band of neo-bolsheviks are making then richer instead of poorer.

How some half the country can believe all this nonsense never ceases to amaze me.

Right.....cuz there have been SO MANY deaths of athletically inclined people over the last 100 years. Wow - they are really struggling to blame anything else other than the obvious.

Most of us can find a copy of 1984. It would be helpful to append a link to the study in the headline. I was describing the "Telephone Game" played in Cubs as a boy as an example of the distortion that a phrase underwent as it was passed around a circle of 6 to 8 boys- my friend said they played it at Girl Guides (Commonwealth equivalent of US Girl Scouts) as well.

There has always been a small number of adolescent cardiac athletic deaths, previously attributed to IHSS (look it up), with health economic papers considering whether it was cost-effective to require (the present day "mandate") echocardiograms before allowing participation. The absolute risk was too low to require screening of entire cohorts.

Thanks, R
