Coronavirus Crisis: Main Thread

[Joe Hillshoist]

I'm willing to bet that most of the people who are spinning out about that place didn't give a fuck about locking children in indefinite detention just cos they had the nerve to want to come here and ask for help and shelter from oppressive arsehole regimes.

Inversely I'm willing to bet the majority who do are more than happy to see the same done to those who are a 'dangerous minority' within the society. Thus undermining the very reasons why people would even seek refuge from oppressive regimes in this country. The most unvaxxed communities are first generation/ second regeneration migrant ones. They currently can't enter some public spaces, and when we enter the phase of unvaccinated lockouts instead of lockdowns, these quarantine camps will be for those of them that break rules.

Lockouts end in NSW a month from yesterday.

No one will need to show proof of vaccination status after that date, or we reach 95% vaccination rates earlier.

Restrictions will ease when NSW reaches 95% double vaccination or on 15 December, with changes including:

proof of vaccination no longer required by Public Health Order
non-critical retail reopens to all, density limits apply
employers allowing staff to work from home at their discretion.

Density limits of 1 person per 2sqm indoor and outdoor areas apply to all activities listed below.

Theoretically businesses might demand people show proof but they might not be able to legally.

It turns out Victoria will not be adopting the same attitude as far as I can tell. So there will be vaccination checks and other stuff and the state will only be open to fully vaccinated people.

And how is that acceptable?

It turns out Victoria will not be adopting the same attitude as far as I can tell. So there will be vaccination checks and other stuff and the state will only be open to fully vaccinated people.

Yes. And when winter comes to the Southern Hemisphere and covid cases rise again, Dan Andrews, who has neglected the public hospital system so he can increase the police force, will place a targeted lockout on everyone who does not have an up to date vaccination passport on the justification of protecting the public health system. The lockout will be impossible to enforce, but people who are caught repeatedly breaching the mass home quarantine orders, will after some kind of 3 strike fines system, be ordered into the 'Centre for National Resileance' by powers of the Chief Health Officer. The laws with the intent to do this are explicit in the Pandemic Bill being tabled before Victorian Parliament as we speak.

It was never going to be that the State rounds up all the unvaccinated and puts them into camps.

It was always going to be that the State, after trying their best to deal reasonably with those who refuse to act reasonable, were forced to, after having given the unvaccinated multiple warnings, put the interests of public good before those of the individual, and temporarily order someone in breach of public health orders into a humane and safe dedicated quarantine enviroment for a period of time. With the entire conceptualisation of this process and the normalisation of it introduced to the general public before it starts to take place. So when people say they are forcing the unvaccinated into camps just like the conspiracy theorists claimed, 'informed' opinion will retort with all the context I've provided.

They won't put mass amounts of people into forced quarentine facilities. They only need to do it to a small miniority of the unvaxxed to make the rest comply with the lockout restrictions. Nor will it be an on going process. It will be seasonal, like covid. We will end up living in a schizophrenic society apted reflective of the old age cycles of winter austerity and summer redress.

Why this all works is because people have never been taught what propaganda actually is. It is semantics. It does not change their view on things. Orwell tried his best to communicate this in 1984, but still the message didn't get through to people. Propaganda does not in anyway tamper with the identity of something. It tampers with the substance of that identity, by adding 'context' to it. By adding context to something - something being a thing with an identity we address with a name or term or symbol, you can change the way in which someone views that thing. The context is generally speaking, abstracted logical contentions which draw on false conclusions between cause and effect.

Fashions change, in utopias as in everything else. But rarely in man’s experience has a fashion changed as completely and as dramatically as the fashion in utopias in the period since 1929. In the Twenties, as in the nineteenth century, and, indeed, as it had been for hundreds of years, utopias were “ideal” societies. Their most important attributes were peace and plenty with a dash of sexual freedom. Since 1929 the whole tone of utopias has changed, and this tendency has reached its stunning culmination in George Orwell’s picture of Oceania in 1984.

The change in utopias is, of course, merely a symptom of a much more fundamental change, the change in men’s ideas of the nature of man. The nineteenth century felt that man was innately good and that the occasional evil in his actions arose from the oppression of bad institutions and the frustration of man’s instincts by such institutions. Accordingly, the nineteenth century was convinced that all would be for the best if man could merely be freed from his social environment, and his nature given free rein to develop itself through exercise. On such assumptions, the nineteenth century was libertarian and optimistic and regarded progress as inevitable, a steady advance as man freed himself from institutional restrictions. On this basis rested liberalism in government, laissez-faire in economics, progressive education, social Darwinism, feminism, and all the movements, reforms, slogans and social cliches of the period from 1848 to 1929.

The disasters we have experienced since 1929 have undermined these beliefs so completely that they have been largely abandoned and are in danger of being replaced, in a natural reaction, by belief in their opposites. Belief in the innate goodness of man is rapidly being replaced by belief in the innate evil of man; faith in inevitable progress is being replaced by expectation of inevitable disaster; advocacy of freedom as the key to all success has been followed by advocacy of discipline as the only hope of salvation.

This, perhaps, is what might be expected. The history of mankind seems to indicate that he proceeds by a process of oscillation from one extreme to its opposite, passing through the sanity of the middle ground only en route from one lunatic fringe to another.

All of this is obvious enough, and Orwell’s book makes much of it. Nineteen eighty-four, in his inspired vision is to be 180° opposed to the utopias of the nineteenth century. It is a world of war, of want, of evil, of discipline, of repression. But Orwell’s book has more than this. If it had only this, it might be worth reading, but it would hardly be worth discussing. At the central core of Orwell’s utopia is a concept which raises his volume to the highest level of poetic perception. This is the concept of “double-think” with all its connotations. Orwell’s book is more than the opposite side of a nineteenth century utopia because in this concept he has extended but not reversed the nineteenth century, and he has placed this concept at the center of the whole system.

What is this principle of “doublethink” which dominates the whole social system of Orwell’s book? Briefly, the doublethink of 1984 is the semantics of 1945 grown up. Semantics holds that the meanings of words are fluid and change as one uses them, and that this condition is both necessary and good. Only in this way, apparently, can words reflect reality. The argument goes something like this: reality is fluid and changeable; the words with which we deal with reality must reflect this condition: if they do not but instead remain rigid and constant, they will deal with an artificial world of unreality.

Doublethink goes further than semantics merely because it is sophisticated enough to realize that it is possible to change reality by changing the content of words. This is the explanation of the Party slogan of 1984: “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” It is also evident in the Party slogans: “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.”

The process by which doublethink grows out of semantics is but one link in a long chain of intellectual development of the most fundamental importance. In this chain there are six links of which four are historical (covering the period of the Christian Era already elapsed) and two are extrapolations into the future (covering the period from the present to 2050 A.D.). The six links with their approximate dates are as follows:


Classical dualism c. 400 B.C. – c. 1150 A.D.

Scholasticism 1150 – 1300

Modern rationalism 1300 – 1890

Semantics 1890 –

Doublethink c. 1984

Newspeak c. 2050



Classical dualism began with the discussions of the Greek rationalists, reached its highest achievement with Plato, and continued on, reinforced and corrupted by the influx of oriental ideas and religions after 330 B.C., to its defeat at the hands of Abelard, Albert Magnus, and Thomas Aquinas. In general, this point of view considered the universe to represent a dualism of spirit and matter, the first unchanging, eternal, and good and the latter mutable, temporary, and corrupt. Only the former could be the object of knowledge because it did not exist in the temporal world where the presence of time and thus of change made all knowledge impossible. This point of view, originated by Pythagoras, Parmenides and others, and built into a system by Plato, was powerfully reinforced by the dualistic oriental importations of Gnosis, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, and others topped by the conquests of Alexander the Great and of Rome itself.

This universe of an antithetical dualism was sharply challenged by the arrival of Christianity, because the Christian belief that Christ was both True God and true Man made it necessary to work out a philosophy able to reconcile the opposition of eternal idea and temporary matter. The debate continued for more than a thousand years (150–1250) during which period one dualistic heresy after another was defeated. The area of conflict shifted from pulpit to church council, from field of battle to heretics’ stake, from monastic cloister to university lecture hall. Neo-Platonism, Gnosticism, Arianism, Manichaeism, Catharism and others were overcome or driven underground, ultimately, if we can believe Denis de Rougement, to take refuge under the disguise of the troubadours’ romantic poetry. The Christian answer to dualistic heresy reached its culmination in Aquinas. This answer might be summed up as follows. Reality is not dualistic but hierarchical, being a gamut from matter without form to form without matter, or expressed differently from pure potentiality to complete all-inclusive realization, from amorphous matter (which can do nothing but to which anything can be done) to pure Reason (which can do anything but to which nothing can be done), from slavery to freedom. In this hierarchy, all development is upward, the unfolding of potentialities into actualities, a process which clearly establishes that the achievement of beatitude can be made only by living through the lower levels. Salvation is found only by living in this world and living through the flesh not by rejecting the world and the flesh. Indeed, salvation for all required that the divinity become flesh as well. The Incarnation became the ultimate repudiation of ancient dualism and its “horrible progeny of heresies.”

This Christian ideology worked out a philosophy of three parts: logic concerned with the rules of thought; metaphysics concerned with the nature of reality; and epistemology concerned with the relationship between the two. In this system the logic was clear and rigid, and the necessary adjustments between thought and reality were made in the epistemology. A sharp distinction was made between validity and truth. Logic gave validity to a conclusion, if its rules were obeyed. But this conclusion was not necessarily true—that was something to be tested according to the “rules of epistemology.” Truth rested in reality and not necessarily in the mind. When Aquinas said, “Nothing exists in the intelligence which was not first in the senses,” and added, “It is not possible to transfer from the ideal to the actual,” he at once destroyed the ancient rationalistic dualism and established the real basis of modern science. Unfortunately, the victory was a precarious one.

When the Protestant revolution of the sixteenth century rejected the Catholic religion, it felt compelled to reject the Christian philosophy: the Aristotelian logic, the Thomistic epistemology, and the hierarchical metaphysics were thrown together on the trash heap. The work of destruction was made easier and more complete because the Catholic practice had never been completely consistent with the Catholic philosophy in all its panorama of logical and empirical consistency. The old Platonist corruption was still alive, not merely underground, but in the inner fortress of the Church itself, notably in the Augustinian tradition and in the Augustinian order, of which Luther was a member. This Platonist tradition now revived, and, in accordance with its teaching, the hierarchical metaphysic of the medieval church was replaced with a dualistic rationalism. The Thomistic epistemology was discarded and replaced by nothing. The Aristotelian logic was rejected in form but was preserved in substance by the continued acceptance of classical mathematics whose rules were almost identical with the rules of Aristotelian logic.

The new rationalistic dualism provides the third link in our chain. According to its assumptions, idea and actuality existed in an opposed parallelism. This is the parallelism of the subjective and the objective world. It was assumed that the objective world was rational and logical and that its nature could be found by logical, that is mathematical, processes alone. This belief is the basis of the whole system of Descartes and of Newton and thus the basis of the whole modern (as opposed to contemporary) ideology. Since the objective world is not logical nor rational, life, for these modern rationalists, became a bitter and disillusioning experience. From this disillusionment came three divergent developments: skepticism, empiricism, and semantics. All three were reactions to the discovery that reason cannot, by logic alone, find actuality, since actuality is not necessarily logical or rational.

Of the three results from rationalistic disillusionment only one, empiricism, offered the slightest hope for the future. Skepticism led straight to frustration and stalemate; semantics led to disaster and doublethink; only empiricism offered any hope for the future. This hope rested in the fact that empiricism was dealing with the area between though and actuality where the Reformation’s rejection of epistemology had left a great gap. Epistemology was the keystone of the arch; it was the key to science, to reality, and to sanity because it was the connecting link between thought and the external world.

Empiricism offered hope because of the possibility that it might, if examined diligently, be able to reconstruct some of the lost principles of epistemology, and because of the fact that its own obvious inadequacy, if it did this, would compel it to proceed into logic on the one hand and into metaphysics on the other. This hope has to some extent been realized. The development of modern science, along this path, from Galileo to Einstein and Oppenheimer, has succeeded in creating the only widely held ideology possessing an adequate epistemology available in the modern world. As a result, such men as Einstein, Schrödinger, Lecomte du Noüy, and Oppenheimer provide the only really wonderful sign in this field. The line which they follow converges with that of the neo-Thomists who seek to cope with the ideological crisis by going back to the philosophy which the Reformers rejected. If these two lines converge it may be not possible to save what is really the core of the Western Christian tradition—the belief that truth exists as a fact beyond the reach of whim or propaganda and that sanity and the good life can be obtained by the struggle to find that truth and cling to it. But this possibility is menaced by the terrible threat of semantics.

Semantics, like skepticism and empiricism, is a direct consequence of the disappearance of epistemology and the subsequent discovery of the inadequacy of rationalism. The rationalists believed that the truth could be found by the use of reason and logic alone because they had assumed that the world was rational and logical. Because the world is not rational and logical, they had failed. The skeptics accordingly doubted the capacity of the mind to know; the empiricists rejected the use of reason and tried to deal with the world by the senses alone; the semanticists tried to deal with the world by bringing its lack of logic and rationality into the mind itself. They did this, not by rediscovering the rules of epistemology but by changing the rules of logic. To them the old logic—Aristotelian logic, as they called it—was the source of all modern confusion, error, frustration and insanity. Accordingly, they tried to replace it by a non-Aristotelian logic whose basic innovation was that it rejected the principle of contradiction. The abandoning of this principle—which they called the “either-or principle”—meant that they rejected all rigid categories or definitions and were prepared to act with vague, variable and over-lapping definitions whose content varied during use in order to reflect the admitted dynamic quality of the external world.

Thus the semanticists tried to make thought more effective and contact with fact more immediate by introducing the irrationality, dynamism, and vagueness of the external world into the mental processes. They were satisfied that the best way to deal with the mess we call the world would be to introduce this messiness into the mind. Their arguments for doing this, always based on persuasive everyday evidence, were convincing to those who had never heard of epistemology. Aristotelian logic says, “night is not day and day is not night.” The semanticists answer, “what is twilight?” and we are expected to abandon Aristotelian logic. If Aristotelian logic says, “male is not female and vice-versa,” the semanticists say, “what about homosexuals?” and we are expected to give up Aristotelian logic.

Such arguments are very persuasive. But, as a matter of fact, the semanticists’ analysis is mistaken both in its diagnosis and in its remedy. Our errors do not arise from the mistakes of Aristotelian logic but from the loss of epistemology as an intellectual discipline. Moreover, Aristotelian logic is not mistaken when it fails to reflect the characteristics of actuality because it was never intended to do so, and neither Aristotle nor Aquinas was so naive or stupid as to believe it did. The rules of Aristotelian logic applied to the conceptual world, to the ideal portion of reality, and could be applied to the physical world of space-time only by undergoing the rules of epistemology. And among these rules of epistemology one of the basic ones stated, “It is not possible to transfer from the ideal to the actual.”

As long as the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition insisted that the ideal is not the same as the actual we are protected from doublethink. But once the semanticists can make us believe that the ideal must be the same as the actual, we are wide open to doublethink. The old Aristotelian tradition believed in both the ideal world and the actual world and regarded both as part of objective reality, the ideal forming the upper levels of the hierarchy and the world of space-time forming the lower levels. The contrast between the two had nothing to do with our modern contrast between subjective and objective since, for example, the rules of mathematics were ideal but still objective truth quite independent of any thinking human mind.

The efforts of the semanticists to bring the variety of reality into the mind makes it necessary for them to abandon the Aristotelian-Scholastic belief that concepts are rigid and fixed and to adopt, in its place, what they sometimes call “multiordinal terms.” According to this belief every word has an infinite number of meanings since the meaning varies with the context, and there are an infinite number of contexts. The “is” of identity is rejected as impossible. There is no identity of facts in actuality, and each fact exists in actuality in a different relationship to its surroundings (context). Accordingly, every word (which seeks to represent a fact) cannot be identical even with itself but must have a different context every time it is used. “Even ‘yes’ may have an indefinite number of meanings, depending on the context to which it is applied….all speculations about such terms in general—as, for instance, ‘what a fact or reality is’—are futile, and, in general illegitimate, as the only correct answer is that ‘the terms are multi ordinal and devoid of meaning outside of a context’,” thus spoke Korzybski.

Just as semantics is one of the logical results of the abandonment of epistemology, so Orwell’s doublethink is one of the logical results of semantics. According to Orwell, the vocabulary of doublethink has two meanings, one meaning when it is applied to an enemy and the opposite meaning when applied to a friend. “Black-white” is such an expression. Applied to an enemy it means that he is such a degraded scoundrel that he would be willing to say that black is white. Applied to a friend it means that his loyalty exceeds all logic or reality to the point where he would be willing to accept black as white. In the Oceania of 1984, the propaganda ministry which deluges the people with lies is called the Ministry of Truth; the ministry which wages war is called the Ministry of Peace; the economic agency, whose chief task is to curtail production and ration artificially-created scarcity, is called the Ministry of Plenty. Freedom is called Slavery and Slavery is called Freedom.

We do not have to wait until 1984 to see the approaching shadow of this ill-begotten child of semantics. Already the prophets of the political Right and the political Left are making use of doublethink. We are told that an election in the United States, in England, or in Italy is an example of brutal class oppression while an election in Poland, Russia, or Bulgaria is an exercise in free democracy. People like James Burnham tell us that the situation now existing between the United States and Russia is war and that the only way to establish peace is to make an immediate military assault on Russia. People like John Flynn are given access to the nine million subscribers of The Readers Digest to tell us that the New Deal is slavery, while Senator Bricker tell us that the Truman administration is Socialism. The subjection of millions of miners to the whims of John L. Lewis is called independence and freedom.

The final link in our chain, the Newspeak which Orwell envisions for 2050, is perhaps hypothetical but is again a logical development of doublethink and of semantics. If words have no fixed meaning (semantics) then the meanings can be changed for political and propaganda purposes (doublethink) and ultimately people can be kept in complete intellectual subjugation by being deprived of all words which refer to politically unacceptable ideas (Newspeak).

10,000 Australians want compensation for Covid-19 vaccine side effects: Media

Compensation starts from A$5,000, meaning the programme would cost at least A$50 million should each claim be approved.

SYDNEY (BLOOMBERG) - Australia's government may face a more than A$50 million (S$49.7 million) bill related to its Covid-19 vaccination programme, as thousands of people register for compensation for health issues related to their inoculations, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

More than 10,000 people have registered for a government programme to be compensated for lost income after being hospitalised for rare but significant side effects from the jab, the newspaper reported, citing official data.

Compensation starts from A$5,000, meaning the programme would cost at least A$50 million should each claim be approved.

Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has received almost 79,000 reports of adverse side effects from 36.8 million doses of vaccine, according to its website.

The Epidemic of Athletes (google translated from Hebrew)

Since December, 183 professional athletes, coaches and college and youth athletes have collapsed abruptly, and 108 have died. Some of the athletes, such as football stars Sergio Aguero and Christian Eriksen, collapsed in the middle of a game, in front of the spectators. The main cause: Cardiac problems - myo / pericarditis, cardiac arrest and heart attacks. What causes the sudden epidemic? Real-Time News Research

13 November 2021|

The Kyrie Irving saga and its refusal to vaccinate Corona never ceases to stir the NBA and the sports world. The Brooklyn Nets star did not back down from the decision even after the team announced that Irving would not be allowed to attend games or train with his teammates until he was vaccinated, a decision that resulted in him being reportedly likely to lose $ 17 million. "This is my life," he said last Thursday as part of Live on his Instagram account , which garnered a view of about 100,000 followers. "It's my body. And you tell me what to do with my body ... I'm stuck with what I believe in. It's that simple. It's not about being anti-vax or being on one side or the other. It's just being true to what "That I feel is right for me ... if I'm going to be slandered because I have more questions and I take the time to make decisions with my life, then that's what it is ... I'm aware of the implications of my decisions for my life."

But Irving is not the only one who refuses the NBA's unequivocal demand to be vaccinated as a condition of ability to play. The press mockingly calls them "vaccine refusers." The NBA has already gone from threats to action, and yet, according to Rolling Stone magazine , about 50-60 players in the NBA have not been vaccinated against Corona. "I'm going to keep doing what I believe in ... what's right for one person is not right for another. It's not your business," Golden State Warriors player Andrew Wiggins said recently , while Washington Wizards star Bradley Bill explicitly expressed skepticism in an interview with the Washington Post. Corona vaccines. "I would like an explanation. Why are vaccinated people still infected with corona? If it's something we're supposed to be very protected from, it's funny that it only reduces your chances of going to the hospital. It does not prevent anyone from contracting corona, does it?"

Golden State Warriors Andrew Wiggins: "It's my body. And you tell me what to do with my body ... I'm stuck with what I believe in. It's that simple. It's not about being anti-vaccine or being on that side. "It's just being true to what I feel is right for me."

It turns out that this trend is far from marginal. The British press reports that unlike what is happening in the NBA, most of the Premier League players are unwilling to get vaccinated against Corona, including most of the players from Manchester United, the big and influential football club. They are joined by a host of football, tennis, golf and football players who have not been vaccinated either, and some, like Irving Wiggins, have even come out openly against the pressure to get vaccinated. "It's bigger than baseball, it's a life decision," said Anthony Rizzo , who is considered the legendary Chicago Cubs star. "It has a heavy weight. It's a decision I made and I'm behind it ... it's a big issue ... I'm taking more time to see the data on all of this." It was recently reported that Novak Djokovic also, The world-ranked tennis player, will not take part in the Australian Open in January, after refusing to reveal his vaccine status. Djokovic revealed in an interview with local Serbian media that in light of Corona's restrictions in Australia, he is unsure of his plans to travel to Melbourne for the Grand Slam. "I will not reveal my status, whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter, and it is an inappropriate investigation," he said, adding, in an interview with Reuters: "Yes, no, maybe, I'm thinking about it," they will take advantage of it. "

Refusing to cooperate with coercive policies: Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Rizzo, Bill Bradley and Novak Djokovic

Why do so many top athletes insist on not succumbing to the massive pressure to get vaccinated? In the press the mockery is celebrated. But no one in the media refers to the huge elephant in the room: the fear of vaccine damage. Is this fear ridiculous? Or are the athletes who resist just listening carefully to some of their peers, who report injuries and serious side effects after the vaccine? "I was fine until then, until I took the vaccine," says Brandon Goodwin, NBA player from the Atlanta Hawks team on Twitch stream. Goodwin, 26, began suffering from blood clots shortly after he was vaccinated. "I got sick and never recovered from it. I had back pain, I was especially tired in games. I was so tired, I felt like I could not run and get off the field. My back hurt. My back really started to ache ... so I found out I had blood clots. All. It's within a month ... ". Godwin explicitly claims that the vaccine is what caused what happened to him, and that the result is the elimination of his ability to play this season. "Yes, the vaccine has finished my season. A thousand percent." He said his group asked him to silence the story. "The Hawks were like 'Do not say anything about it. Do not tell anyone,'" he said.

Like Goodwin, in recent months more and more athletes have come out and stated in their voice or in writing, in media or social media interviews, about serious health problems they have experienced due to the vaccine. At the same time, there are more and more incidents of collapse and collapse, illness and even sudden death among athletes, including leading and well-known sports stars, as well as lesser-known athletes, those who play in local teams, including college athletes in different countries.

The Real-Time News investigation found 183 such cases among professional athletes, coaches, athletes at universities and colleges and youth athletes, all of which have occurred since December 2020, the month in which the global immunization campaign began. This large amount speaks for itself and tells a very different story from the mantra that the media repeats, according to which, the athletes who refuse to get vaccinated are just a handful of "vaccine opponents".

For many of the injured athletes, the injury means serious consequences for their health, their ability to continue playing, and even the continuation of their sporting careers. In 108 cases it was a death.

Common to most athletes - the young age and suddenness with which it happened, and the fact that most of them are men (only 15 of them women). The vast majority are aged 17-40, except for 21 older people (five aged 42-45, six aged 46-49, seven aged 51-54, and three others aged 60-64), and in at least over 80 cases the athletes were reported to feel unwell and suddenly collapse during a game, race or training, or immediately after. In most cases, it has been reported that the cause of the breakdown is heart-related, including myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) or a combination of both - premycarditis, heart attacks or cardiac arrest. The second cause reported in six cases is coagulation events, including pulmonary embolism, pulmonary blood clots in the brain and brain. We emphasize that the list we have is even longer, but for the sake of caution, cases were removed from it in which we did not have full details, so that only the cases that were reported in detail remained. In addition, cases were removed from the list in which evidence of previous risk factors was mentioned, such as a heart defect.

At least 108 sudden deaths have been reported among athletes since December, the start of the Corona vaccine campaign, the vast majority of them young people up to the age of 40. The list also includes youth players

Although not in all cases the immunized status of the injured athletes is published, and it is important to emphasize that the vulnerability cannot be determined from the vaccine, the large number of casualties since December among this young group, there are many reasons to assume it is mostly healthy and without background disease That athletes, at least the professional ones among them, are scrutinized carefully and relatively often), puzzling, and certainly constitutes a red flag and requires a comprehensive and in-depth clarification of the subject. Certainly the need for it cannot be eliminated through superficial claims. Also, given the almost sweeping duty of vaccination in many teams and leagues, as well as in universities and colleges, the assumption is that especially recently, it is often difficult to impossible for professional athletes to continue playing without being vaccinated. This finding is particularly striking against the background of the fact that fatal events resulting from the sudden collapse of athletes are considered according to the research literature to be a rare phenomenon.

Heartbreak in front of thousands of fans

On 31 October, Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero was hospitalized after feeling unwell during his team's game against Alavés. The 33-year-old Argentine star, who is considered the king of Manchester City's goalscorers of all time and the foreigner with the most goals in the Premier League of all time (181), called on Twitter for everyone aged 12 and over to get vaccinated. But on October 31, he was rushed to the hospital after feeling severe chest pain. He signaled to the coaches during the first half that he was asking to be replaced, then grabbed his heart and collapsed on the grass. This week it was reported in Spain that last tests revealed a severe arrhythmia, and the cardiologists who examined him are not optimistic about his ability to return to the pitch in a few months. At the moment, according to reports, Aguero's professional future and whether he will be able to continue playing football at all is unclear, and will only become clear after he undergoes further tests in the coming months.

Like Aguero, several superstars have collapsed in front of tens of thousands of viewers in recent months. Perhaps the best known is the Danish footballer Christian Eriksen, the Inter Milan player and the Danish national team. On June 12, during his team's opening match against Finland in the Euro 2020 tournament, 29-year-old Eriksen, who was at his peak of fitness, collapsed and went into cardiac arrest in front of 15,000 fans in the stands. For 20 minutes, the team's medical staff tried to revive him, and when they finally succeeded through an electric shock, he was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a pacemaker transplant.

A similar incident happened to 27-year-old cricketer David Wakefield , who collapsed during training on March 11 and suffered a cardiac arrest. He, too, survived thanks to the action of the emergency team, who performed CPR on him using a defibrillator, but it took long minutes and six electric shocks before his heart beat again. The diagnosis was myocarditis, and a pacemaker was implanted in his heart. In addition, apparently due to the prolonged time in which his heart stopped beating, he also suffered from swelling in the brain, which in order to reduce it was put to sleep and respirated. Only after three weeks in intensive care and then extensive rehabilitation, was he able to walk and talk again.

In June, 29-year-old Danish footballer Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in front of 15,000 fans. A similar incident occurred to 27-year-old cricketer David Wakefield on March 27, and in late July 18-year-old Belgian Rona Koja suffered a heart attack

At the end of July, Rona Koja from the Belgian 18-year-old Anderlecht Hogaldi team suffered a heart attack at the end of the first half of a friendly match. He was saved thanks to the swift action of his fellow actors, and immediately afterwards of the emergency services. On September 17, 25-year-old Bayern Munich player Kingsman Koeman was also forced to undergo surgery to correct arrhythmias. Another athlete hospitalized in July is Pedro Obiang, a professional Italian footballer who played as a liaison at the Serie A football club in Sesotho. The 29-year-old Obiang was hospitalized in July for ten days, according to a SUN report as a result of a lung problem, but other reports claim it was myocarditis.

And in August, Fabrika Naskala, the defender of the Turkish Shiktash football team, was hospitalized after collapsing on the pitch in the 70th minute of a game against the Gaziantepspor team.

Other athletes have reported serious problems that cast doubt on the continuation of their sporting careers. Take , for example, Florian Dagori, Who holds the world record for static freediving of respiratory arrest, wrote on his Instagram account: "After the second dose I noticed that my pulse was much higher than normal and my respiratory capacity dropped significantly .... 10 days after the second vaccination, I went to see a cardiologist and he told me it was A side effect of the Pfizer vaccine, 'there is nothing to worry about, just rest it will pass.' By the immune system and some tiny blood leaks from the valves that no longer close properly. "Like Sputnik, Synovak, Sinopar, etc., instead of the new mRNA vaccines."

Florian Dagori: "My first recommendation to free divers around the world is to choose a vaccine that is produced the old way, such as Sputnik, Synovak, Sinopar, etc., instead of the new mRNA vaccines."

Passed away suddenly

As mentioned, in 108 of the cases identified in the media reports, the collapse of the athletes ended in death. For example, on February 6, 2021, Clement Luco , a 25-year-old Cameroonian basketball player who played in Manila, died after suffering a sudden heart attack. On April 18, basketball player Anton Pippin, 33, who played for Texas A&M International University and later on the International Basketball Association's Upstate Heat team , died unexpectedly . On June 18, Robert Lima passed away , a footballer who moved to the Uruguayan Olympic team. Lima, 49, died of a sudden heart attack while playing football with friends.

In August, Michael Ujo, 27, a professional Nigerian-American basketball player from Florida who previously played for the Florida State center team and moved to Serbia , died unexpectedly . Ujo collapsed during training and died during resuscitation attempts at a local hospital in Serbia. Roy Butler , a 23-year-old Irish footballer who previously played for Waterford FC, also died on 17 August. The media reported his sudden death, but did not comment on his immunization status. However, his relatives said he died after the vaccination. "My beautiful nephew Roy Butler, of Irish Waterford City, has passed away today, after a miracle 'vaccine' ... I'm heartbroken and so angry," his aunt, Marianne Hart, tweeted on her Twitter account.

Roy Butler, 23, died four days after being vaccinated.

Alexaida Guadz , a 30-year-old marathon runner from Valencia, died during a race in August in the city of Nagoana in the state of Krabovo. She collapsed 50 meters from the finish line, and died after attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. Frank Breyer , a 37-year-old former French-Belgian footballer, also died of a sudden heart attack in August. And in Japan, Yusuka Kinoshita , a professional baseball player, died in August . He died after a month-long struggle at the hospital, where he was evacuated after collapsing during training on July 6. He was resuscitated and anesthetized during hospitalization, until his death on August 5th. The Japanese media reported extensively on his death. The news site Sponichi initially included the headline: "Resilience against Corona" but quickly changed the report. However, Yahoo JapanReported that the sudden collapse of the baseball player may have been related to the second corona vaccine he received. According to the report, Ochiro Oshima, the owner of the Chunichi dragon group where Kinushita played, said in an interview with him: "I heard he got sick after the vaccine. He is hospitalized and fighting for his life. I do not know the causal link between his vaccine and the collapse. ".

On October 10, the Pharma baseball club in Italy published an obituary for the sudden death of Simon Badudi, a baseball player and coach of the Park Ranger team. According to a report in the Corriere di Bologna, my 40-year-old uncle returned that evening from a party where his team was celebrating a victory and promotion to the league. At some point, it is not clear exactly when, he left his car by the side of the road and returned home on foot. He fell asleep, but a few hours later his heart stopped beating.

Athletes teenagers and children were also injured and died

The list also includes 23 teenagers, aged 12-17, of whom 16 died. 17-year-old Dylan Rich died in early September after suffering a heart attack during his team's youth cup game against Boston United; Elisha Gorham, also 17, a Baltimore football player who also collapsed during a game in October, and died of a heart attack and systemic failure; Bruno Stein, 15, a young goalkeeper from FC An der Fahner Höhe in Germany died suddenly in October; And Chloe Gianni Giavatzi, a young 12-year-old Italian tennis player who was found dead in her bed by her mother in June; Jason Kidd, also 12, is a basketball player from Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. Died unexpectedly in early November while warming up for school basketball practice. In August, three young cyclists from the same group were hospitalized in Belgium for three weeks apart with heart problems: Zander Verhagen, 17, Joppa Arfels, 15, and Yarko van Herc, also 15. Van Herc suffered chest pains during Versailles Race,

Refuse to remain silent

Some of the athletes themselves or their associates have openly stated a link between the immunization of Corona and their condition. For example, 34-year-old French tennis player Jeremy Chardi , who was previously ranked 25th in the world, has announced that he is suspending his games for the current season, and does not know when and if he will be able to play again. This is as a result of a series of severe health problems he has been suffering from since receiving the corona vaccine, including severe pain throughout the body during physical exertion. "I regret being vaccinated," Chardi declared in a media interview. “Since I got vaccinated (between the Olympics and the U.S. Open), I have a problem, I have had difficulties. "Suddenly I can not train, I can not play ... At the moment my season stops and I do not know when I will start again ... This is the first time that the idea that next season may be my last came to my mind."

Alexander Kissonga, an Italian professional basketball player who was hospitalized in late July after being diagnosed with premixturitis, shared his story on his Instagram accountHis, and left no room for doubt as to the fact that he linked the disease to the modern vaccine he had received. "I have been hospitalized for a month. I have been diagnosed with acute premiitis. In other words, it is an infection that causes inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart." Kisonga said he made a decision to share his story because he feels there is no discussion about the side effects of the vaccine. "What I'm most sorry about is that we do not talk about it !!! Then I found out that it is one of the possible side effects of the vaccine, and that it usually happens to young people ... The vaccine statistics say the benefits outweigh the harm, and here I wonder. .. Am I a minority who has suffered from the harms of the vaccine? Who treats it? Or rather - is anyone responsible for it? From what I can judge, if someone makes money on markers or vaccines, should he not be responsible for compensating those who unfortunately had negative effects ?! ".

19-year-old Sienna Knowles , a competitive horse rider from Australia who was hospitalized in October and diagnosed with blood clots in her chest, shared her condition in a series of Instagram posts that went viral, saying she became ill after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. "How crazy I quickly became from a super healthy 19-year-old girl who never suffered from any health problems - working full time, training and riding horses every day - to someone who was all taken from her after Pfizer's second vaccination," Knowles wrote. "My lungs are full of blood clots and the heart is stressed. My new normal [is] now that I have a pulmonologist, a cardiologist, blood tests, full body scans, an ultrasound of the heart and lungs." She added that she did not want to receive the vaccine because she was afraid. "I wish I would never have gotten it and been able to get my healthy body back."

Even Francesca Marcon , Italian volleyball player 38-year-old suffered from pericarditis after receiving the second dose of Pfizer on August 3, not silent. Markon, who immediately suffered from shortness of breath and chest pain, went to the emergency room the next day and was diagnosed with pericarditis, wrote on her Instagram account that she regrets being vaccinated: "I declare I am not an vaccine but I was never persuaded to take this vaccine and now I understand why," she wrote. Marcon. She went on to say, "Maybe it's a bit of a blasphemy - but I wonder: is there no kind of compensation for someone who suffers from health damage after the vaccine? Who pays the price for everything?".

Pauchi and the heads of the FDA, CDC and NIH did not come to listen to the victims

Kyle Warner, 29, a professional mountain bike rider from Idaho who has won three state championships and a famous YouTuber, was diagnosed with pericarditis, POTS and arthritis a month after receiving the second dose of Pfizer's vaccine. His career has been ruined, and he is still ill and unable to work, participate in races or train. In an interview with Dr. John Campbell in October, he said he received the first dose of the vaccine in mid-May, and the second dose in June. Two weeks later he experienced a rapid pulse sensation. Shalev went up again and he felt nauseous and weak and went to the emergency room. The doctors dismissed the incident and claimed he was having an anxiety attack. That he “resists vaccinations.” Four days later he was hospitalized again with pain and pressure in the chest area,

Warner was one of 20 people affected by side effects after the corona vaccines were invited to speak at a press conference organized by Senator Johnson in the Senate, along with doctors and scientists. Senator Johnson also invited Dr. Anthony Pucci and the heads of the CDC, the NIH and the FDA, the directors of Pfizer and Moderna and the representatives of the states of the victims. None of them showed up. Thank you to Dr. Pauchi and the heads of the organizations for not showing up and not listening to us. I am glad to know that our good is in front of your eyes. This message is for you. It is a message about how what is happening broke my heart, literally and figuratively. "

"Thank you to everyone who supported and understood me when I spoke on this issue," he wrote on his Instagram account. "Many of you know me as a pretty reasonable and caring guy and I never intended to be a part of all this discourse. However, after my experience this summer, and listening to thousands of similar stories, I feel I have to stand by the people who can not or do not have access to the same platform.

"It's not political, it's personal. I want the best for the world and for humanity, and it breaks my heart to see people suffer in every way. The last week in DC has shaken my view of the world drastically, and it made me realize how much we as sons "The average person needs to unite and sync with each other. Listen to my message before you judge or tag. I'm just a guy who cares about others and wants the government to recognize and support what's actually happening."

"The collapsing athlete": a rare phenomenon

The large number of athletes who collapsed and died this year must serve as a bright red light, especially in light of the fact that sudden death and cardiac arrest of athletes are considered a rare phenomenon in the research medical literature. According to an article published in May this year in the journal Sports Cardiology, entitled "The Collapsed Athlete", in the latest annual report for 2017, the National Center for the Study of Catastrophic Sports Injuries in the United States (NCCSIR) noted that for 36 years, from 1982 to 2017 , 862 non-traumatic catastrophic injuries occurred among U.S. college athletes, 44 of which were fatal. The main causes include cardiac arrest, stroke, hypothermia, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, trauma and overexertion. According to the article, "collapsing athlete" syndrome is defined as an athlete. Experiencing a sudden loss of stable tone, to the point of inability to continue attending the sporting event. These are cases that have occurred in the United States only, and only among college athletes, but the small numbers over so many years reflect the fact that the phenomenon is indeed rare.

For 36 years, from 1982 to 2017, 862 non-traumatic catastrophic injuries occurred among U.S. college athletes, 44 of whom were fatal. The main causes include cardiac arrest, stroke, hypothermia, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, trauma and overexertion.

In a study published in 2017 in the New England Journal of Medicine, a group of Canadian researchers examined the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest during participation in sports, between the years 2009-2014 among 12-45 year olds. They used a cardiac arrest database in Canada for this purpose. The study findings showed that during 18.5 million years of observation, 74 cases of sudden cardiac arrest occurred during participation in sports; Of these, 16 occurred during competitive sports and 58 during non-competitive sports. The incidence of sudden cardiac arrest during competitive sports was 0.76 cases per 100,000 sports years. According to the study, the occurrence of sudden cardiac arrest due to structural heart disease during participation in competitive sports was rare.

Another study, published in 2013 in the journal by researchers from the Department of Health Sciences at the University of Texas, identified over 13 years - between 2000 and 2013 - 54 cases of sudden cardiac deaths among young football players.

And it turns out that even at older ages, cardiac arrest during athletic activity is rare. A study published in 2015 in the journal Circulation, examined the cases of sudden cardiac arrest associated with sports in a large population in the metropolitan area of ​​Portland, among the 35-65 age group, between 2002 and 2013. The researchers identified 1,247 cases, of which 63 (5%) occurred during sports activities. In 16% of cases the victims had a previous heart disease, and in 56% they had cardiovascular risk factors. 36% of cases had cardiovascular symptoms during the week preceding the event.

5 times more FIFA athletes have died this year compared to previous years

In order to try to get a better picture of the data compared to previous years, we only looked at data relating to deaths among athletes registered with FIFA, and compared the data regarding the number of deaths among these athletes in previous years, compared to the number of cases this year.

To know how many deaths have occurred in reality during the past two decades among players FIFA (2001-2020), was used on Wikipedia, about " a list of registered players union who died while playing " (List of association footballers who died while playing). To know how many cases Happened this year - in 2021, we used the list displayed on Wikipedia, as well as the extended list of players who died during 2021, collected in the "Real Time News" research.

Dr. Josh Gtzko, senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Institute of Criminology at the Hebrew University, analyzed the data. "From an article published in the British Medical Journal indicates that the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD - sudden cardiac death) is one of 50 thousand ( With a range from one to 30,000 to one to 80,000), "he explains." According to FIFA data ( FIFA_BIG_COUNT.pdf ), in 2000 there were 242,000 athletes registered in the association, and in 2006 there were 265,000 athletes registered. "FIFA's size has not changed significantly in twenty years, which means we have to expect about 5 deaths a year."

"According to Wikipedia, between 2001-2020 there were an average of 4.2 deaths per year attributed to sudden cardiac death (SCD) or unexplained sudden death (SUD), with the vast majority being SCD. However, in 2021, according to the list in Wikipedia combined with The list of 'real-time news', there were 21 cases of SCD / SUD among FIFA players.

In other words, the bottom line is that instead of 4 deaths a year (according to Wikipedia data), or 5 cases a year (calculated according to the BMJ) during 2001-2020, 21 players have died so far this year. That is - about 5 times more than the annual average!

Dr. Getzko: "This figure is found to be statistically significant. In fact, there has not been another year since 2001 in which the difference between the number of cases observed of SCD / SUD and the expected number is statistically significant. "2021 is the only one where the difference is very statistically significant, something that the probability of its occurrence is slim - 2 out of 1,000 times."

Exercise after the vaccine? Caution can prevent disaster

Does performing strenuous sports activity after mRNA-based vaccines increase the risk of the vaccinated? This question has occupied in recent months the health ministries and experts around the world, especially in the context of myocarditis and cardiac events. This is in light of the ongoing reports flowing in from all over the world about increased side effects, especially among teenagers and young people. In Singapore, for example, as early as September 16 , the Ministry of Health issued a statement from a committee of experts on the subject stating that "vaccinated people, especially adolescents and young people, should avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks after each dose of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines." During this period, the vaccinated should "seek immediate medical attention if they develop chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations. Vaccine providers should advise this to the people receiving the vaccine."

In Israel, on the other hand, the Ministry of Health completely dismisses claims about the increased risk of physical activity. At the beginning of October, it was reported in the various media in the country that the professionals in the Ministry of Health formulate a recommendation according to which vaccinators, including young people under the age of 30, should refrain from strenuous activity and sports training for a week. Following the publication of Dr. Yoav Yehezkeli, an expert in internal medicine and medical administration, a lecturer in the Emergency Management Program at Tel Aviv University and one of the founders of the Epidemic Treatment Team (ZTM) on his Facebook page, where he welcomed this caution, the Ministry of Health chose to publish a crowning post Dr. Yehezkeli's publicity as "Pike", and announced that "experts from the Ministry of Health have overwhelmingly decided that there is no danger in sports after vaccinations ... go get vaccinated. Go out and practice. "

At a hearing held on October 6, members of the IDF (epidemic treatment team) decided by an absolute majority against a decision similar to the one made in Singapore. "Do not prevent physical activity after any vaccination ... I do not recognize that avoiding activity reduces myocarditis and this is very problematic at the level of the message of the safety of the vaccine."

"Team members completely rejected this recommendation, without holding a professional discussion," Dr. Yehezkeli wrote in response to the decision in the IDF. "No experts in the field were present at the hearing: cardiologists, sports doctors or exercise physiologists." According to him, the allegations that led to the cancellation of the recommendation, such as "there is no evidence that physical activity increases the risk of myocarditis following the vaccine," express a lack of professionalism. "Obviously, the effort itself is not the cause of myocarditis. Physical exertion increases the risk of a fatal arrhythmia in case the vaccine causes myocarditis. Fatal incidents for you to take precautionary measures? Or does the desire to erase from the public discourse any mention of a side effect from the vaccine outweigh it? ", He wrote.

Mild or life-threatening illness?

The link between corona vaccines and two known heart diseases: myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart) has been recognized by health authorities. Myocarditis can lead to arrhythmias, and is considered to cause about 20% of cases of sudden cardiac death. Often, there may be a condition that combines the two disorders, called premiocarditis. Along with the approval of the vaccine for adults and the issuance of an emergency permit for 12-15 year olds granted by the FDA, the US Food and Drug Administration announced in June an update in the drug leaflet of Pfizer and Modernena vaccines, regarding the increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination. For each of the two vaccines, the manufacturers' information leaflet was amended to include warnings against myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as information about both diseases. According to the FDA announcement, the update was written following a comprehensive review of the information and a discussion in the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee.

The first evidence of this connection came from Israel, when, following cumulative reports received from hospitals in the country, the Ministry of Health appointed a commission of inquiry to examine the issue. The committee, chaired by Prof. Dror Mevorach, reported its findings in an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The article included reports received from December 2020 to May 2021, with cases being monitored from the first vaccination day to 30 days after the second vaccination. The researchers reported 304 people with myocarditis symptoms, of whom, they said, 21 received an alternative diagnosis. Of the remaining 283 cases, 142 occurred after Pfizer vaccination, and of these in 136 patients the diagnosis was defined as certain or reasonable. According to the article, these are 136 cases of myocarditis out of 5.4 million people who were vaccinated with one or two doses.

While in absolute numbers it does sound small, it is important to understand that the occurrence of the phenomenon after the second dose is 5.3 times higher than expected. Moreover, when it comes to boys aged 16-19, the risk is 1 in 6,637 - a risk 13.6 times higher than expected. Moreover, as Prof. Mevorach himself noted at a meeting of the Vaccine Prioritization Committee held on June 3, it is likely that this is an underestimation of the cases. It should be noted that according to an article published in the journal Science, in a report submitted to the Ministry of Health on June 1, the researchers concluded that one in 3,000 to one in 6,000 boys and young people aged 16-24 developed myocarditis - a higher estimate than reported in the article itself. Prof. Mevorach himself, in a Twitter tweet from May 25, also wrote that he estimates that the incidence stands at one in 3,000 to one in 6,000.

According to the research literature, myocarditis is a life-threatening disease that can cause long-term damage to the heart muscle and lead to heart rhythm disorders and heart failure.

Most cases of myocarditis in the study were defined as mild and transient, but seven cases were defined as severe, and one case, of a young woman, ended in death. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that this is usually a mild illness, which involves only a short hospital stay. However, according to the research literature , it is a life-threatening disease, which can cause long-term damage to the heart muscle and lead to heart rhythm disorders and heart failure, which only with prolonged follow-up can reveal the true effect of myocardial tissue or myocardial tissue itself. Thus, even cases defined as mild require follow-up to rule out such damage. Dr. Michael Godovich, one of the members of the Vaccine Prioritization Committee, said in a discussion that presented the data from Prof. Mevorach's study disapproves of the emphasis that this is a mild disease. What's more, half of the patients were in intensive care. "

Another issue that arises, in light of the findings, is what is the prevalence of cardiac inflammation in children under 16 years of age? At present, there are still no studies or reports indicating the prevalence of myocarditis and pericarditis at these ages, nor after vaccination in a third booster dose.

Corona vaccines: 277 times higher risk of myocarditis compared to flu vaccines

Myocarditis and pericarditis are not the only cardiac effects in which an increase was found near corona vaccines.
Dr. Getzko analyzed data from the U.S. VAERS system (system for reporting side effects), focusing on cardiac events reported among teens and young men following corona vaccines from December (beginning of the vaccination campaign) to October 8, and comparing them to reports on Cardiac events in adolescents and young people after influenza vaccines in the last five flu seasons (2015/16 - 2019/20).

First, he examined the amount of cardiac events reported among 18-49-year-olds after corona vaccines, and the amount of these events among the same age group after influenza vaccines. He then examined the ratio of the incidence of cardiac events in corona-versus-flu vaccines per million vaccine doses. Results: The rate of cardiac events reported this year (December to October) following corona vaccines per million vaccine doses among 18-49 year olds was 46 times higher than the rate reported following influenza vaccines during the last five flu seasons. The rate of arrhythmia events following corona vaccines is 89 times higher than influenza vaccines; The rate of coronary artery disease is 65 times higher due to corona vaccines compared to influenza vaccines; The rate of heart failure is 17 times higher; The rate of other cardiac disorders is 46 times higher; The rate of pericarditis is 84 times higher; And the incidence of myocarditis is 277 times higher following corona vaccines compared to influenza vaccines.

"It is important to remember that these reporting systems are characterized by a very large built-in sub-reporting," Dr. Getzko said in an interview with Real-Time News. 40-50 or more. "The significance of this estimate is almost inconceivable in its scope. If the total number of reports of cardiac events is close to 100,000 (98,235 reports), then doubling by about 50,000 means about five million (!) Reports If the number of reports of coronary heart disease is about 17,000 (17,071), then in reality the number is 850,000; if the number of reports of heart failure is 6,577, then in reality the number is about 325,000. And if the number of reports of myocarditis is 1,512, then in reality the number is 75,600, all in a group of young people.

Increase in the rate of calls to MDA for cardiac events in young people

A study conducted several months ago by Prof. Rezaf Levy, an expert in systemic risk management, development and implementation of analytical models for risk forecasting in government bodies and health systems from MIT, based on the use of the Magen David Adom database, reinforces the concerns of Dr. Getzko's analysis. Prof. Levy analyzed the MDA readings in the years 2021-2019, focusing on readings related to cardiac arrest and heart attacks according to the definitions set by MDA teams in the field. This period includes 14 months without corona epidemic and without vaccines (2019 to March 2020); Ten months of epidemic (March 2020 to December 2020); and five-and-a-half months of epidemic with vaccines (January-May 2021). Over 83% in heart attack readings among women aged 20 to 29. Moreover, the study showed that the increase in case rates increases as the ages get younger.

Although the study data do not include information on the immunization status of the groups, the statistical analysis indicates a significant association between weeks in which there were many MDA readings diagnosed by medical staff as heart attacks and heart attacks in 16-39 year olds. The cardiac events were after the start of the vaccination campaign in 2021. Also, according to the article, the correlation seems to be particularly related to the administration of the second doses of the vaccine, and the decision to vaccinate recovering patients at these ages.

The study findings indicated a 25% increase in the readiness rate of cardiac events in the young age group in 2021 compared to previous periods, and an increase of over 83% in the readings of heart attacks among women aged 20-29. Moreover, the study showed that the increase in case rates increases as the ages get younger

Although the article did not claim that the increase was due to the vaccine, in light of the disturbing data, and especially in light of the proven link between the vaccine and myocarditis and the risk of cardiac events as a result of inflammation, Prof. Levy demanded a detailed and urgent examination of cases. The findings and the article itself were forwarded by the MIT research team to the Israeli Ministry of Health, but received no response. In an online meeting, an excerpt of which was published by the Ministry of Health on October 10, the head of health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price, claimed that the National Center for Disease Control reviewed Prof. Levy's research, and found that the data was incorrect. Great that I have seen and run in a very significant way, "she said referring to the claim about the link between the vaccine and cardiac events. Understand in depth what he did and see if there is anything in it.

Following this, on October 12, members of the Corona Emergency Council (PRC) contacted the director of the National Center for Disease Control, Prof. Little Keenan Boker, and asked for data on the date and vaccination status of the reported cases; the diagnosis in the hospital; Levy; the experts who examined his research; and whether an independent team was used. The request has not yet been answered. The request from "Real Time News" for a response in this matter from the information center for Corona on behalf of the Ministry of Health was also not answered.

As stated, at this stage it is not possible to establish a direct connection between the deaths of the competitive athletes described in the article, but the picture that emerges from it is very worrying. The large number of cases close to vaccination, compared to the relatively rare occurrence of these cases in athletes in previous years (pre-vaccinated corona), must serve as a warning sign indicating increased risk and requires thorough, professional and independent reference and testing, as well as the establishment and improvement of existing monitoring and monitoring systems. Side effects, before continuing to impose additional vaccines and boosters on the public, and in particular on young people, adolescents and children.

Since Covid has now become endemic, this means we are no longer in a pandemic. This should be a fact - as far as such things exist, because something should not be both pandemic and endemic as this is not meaningful. Anything that is not pandemic or endemic must be a third thing which is neither.

But through the power of semantics, the state of permanence and acceptance specific to the term 'endemic', has merged with the temporary state of heightened danger specific to the term 'pandemic'. Thus giving the term pandemic the new meaning of an endemic pandemic, which is the accepted permanance of a temporary state of heightened danger.

Of course, this isn't propaganda at all! Only the complicated nuance of semantics. Even the experts discussing it are completely unaware of what they are actually talking about.

Delivery — actually getting RNA into cells — has long bedeviled the whole field. On their own, RNA molecules have a hard time reaching their targets. They work better if they’re wrapped up in a delivery mechanism, such as nanoparticles made of lipids. But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years.

Moderna’s most advanced competitors, CureVac and BioNTech, have acknowledged the same challenge with mRNA. Each is principally focused on vaccines for infectious disease and cancer, which the companies believe can be attacked with just a few doses of mRNA. And each has already tested its technology on hundreds of patients.

“I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.

That makes vaccines the lowest hanging fruit in mRNA, said Franz-Werner Haas, CureVac’s chief corporate officer. “From our point of view, it’s obvious why {Moderna} started there,” he said.

“I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.

That makes vaccines the lowest hanging fruit in mRNA, said Franz-Werner Haas, CureVac’s chief corporate officer. “From our point of view, it’s obvious why {Moderna} started there,” he said.

And this:

From the start, Moderna heralded its ability to produce proteins within cells, which could open up a world of therapeutic targets unreachable by conventional drugs. The most revolutionary treatments, which could challenge the multibillion-dollar market for protein therapy, would involve repeated doses of mRNA over many years, so a patient’s body continued to produce proteins to keep disease at bay.

So it is an on going gene therapy that has been marketed as a two shot vaccine with booster shots. It was always known two shots wouldn't be enough.

This whole article is a nugget of information:

“I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.

So it is the fucking nanoparticles or lipids that are toxic, as shown in that Japanese toxicity report on rats or mice.

The claims have always been about the mRNA staying in the muscle. Nothing was ever said about the lipid nanoparticles.

And how is that acceptable?

Victoria's attitude?

I dunno.

Ask Dan Andrews.

[Joe Hillshoist]

Ancient History From 2016: "But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years."

Very $trange how this widely held view has been conveniently forgotten in our current ru$h to sign kids up for quarterly boo$ter $hot$.

***

Delivery — actually getting RNA into cells — has long bedeviled the whole field. On their own, RNA molecules have a hard time reaching their targets. They work better if they’re wrapped up in a delivery mechanism, such as nanoparticles made of lipids. But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years.

Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche. ...

Moderna’s most advanced competitors, CureVac and BioNTech, have acknowledged the same challenge with mRNA. Each is principally focused on vaccines for infectious disease and cancer, which the companies believe can be attacked with just a few doses of mRNA. And each has already tested its technology on hundreds of patients.

“I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.

I thought those Japanese reports just mapped the spread of the nanoparticles without cell receptors to bind them and transfer the mRNA. Not that they reported any toxicity from them. A lipid is just a fat.

The Epidemic of Athletes (google translated from Hebrew)

Since December, 183 professional athletes, coaches and college and youth athletes have collapsed abruptly, and 108 have died. Some of the athletes, such as football stars Sergio Aguero and Christian Eriksen, collapsed in the middle of a game, in front of the spectators. The main cause: Cardiac problems - myo / pericarditis, cardiac arrest and heart attacks. What causes the sudden epidemic? Real-Time News Research

13 November 2021|

The Kyrie Irving saga and its refusal to vaccinate Corona never ceases to stir the NBA and the sports world. The Brooklyn Nets star did not back down from the decision even after the team announced that Irving would not be allowed to attend games or train with his teammates until he was vaccinated, a decision that resulted in him being reportedly likely to lose $ 17 million. "This is my life," he said last Thursday as part of Live on his Instagram account , which garnered a view of about 100,000 followers. "It's my body. And you tell me what to do with my body ... I'm stuck with what I believe in. It's that simple. It's not about being anti-vax or being on one side or the other. It's just being true to what "That I feel is right for me ... if I'm going to be slandered because I have more questions and I take the time to make decisions with my life, then that's what it is ... I'm aware of the implications of my decisions for my life."

But Irving is not the only one who refuses the NBA's unequivocal demand to be vaccinated as a condition of ability to play. The press mockingly calls them "vaccine refusers." The NBA has already gone from threats to action, and yet, according to Rolling Stone magazine , about 50-60 players in the NBA have not been vaccinated against Corona. "I'm going to keep doing what I believe in ... what's right for one person is not right for another. It's not your business," Golden State Warriors player Andrew Wiggins said recently , while Washington Wizards star Bradley Bill explicitly expressed skepticism in an interview with the Washington Post. Corona vaccines. "I would like an explanation. Why are vaccinated people still infected with corona? If it's something we're supposed to be very protected from, it's funny that it only reduces your chances of going to the hospital. It does not prevent anyone from contracting corona, does it?"

Golden State Warriors Andrew Wiggins: "It's my body. And you tell me what to do with my body ... I'm stuck with what I believe in. It's that simple. It's not about being anti-vaccine or being on that side. "It's just being true to what I feel is right for me."

It turns out that this trend is far from marginal. The British press reports that unlike what is happening in the NBA, most of the Premier League players are unwilling to get vaccinated against Corona, including most of the players from Manchester United, the big and influential football club. They are joined by a host of football, tennis, golf and football players who have not been vaccinated either, and some, like Irving Wiggins, have even come out openly against the pressure to get vaccinated. "It's bigger than baseball, it's a life decision," said Anthony Rizzo , who is considered the legendary Chicago Cubs star. "It has a heavy weight. It's a decision I made and I'm behind it ... it's a big issue ... I'm taking more time to see the data on all of this." It was recently reported that Novak Djokovic also, The world-ranked tennis player, will not take part in the Australian Open in January, after refusing to reveal his vaccine status. Djokovic revealed in an interview with local Serbian media that in light of Corona's restrictions in Australia, he is unsure of his plans to travel to Melbourne for the Grand Slam. "I will not reveal my status, whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter, and it is an inappropriate investigation," he said, adding, in an interview with Reuters: "Yes, no, maybe, I'm thinking about it," they will take advantage of it. "

Refusing to cooperate with coercive policies: Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Rizzo, Bill Bradley and Novak Djokovic

Why do so many top athletes insist on not succumbing to the massive pressure to get vaccinated? In the press the mockery is celebrated. But no one in the media refers to the huge elephant in the room: the fear of vaccine damage. Is this fear ridiculous? Or are the athletes who resist just listening carefully to some of their peers, who report injuries and serious side effects after the vaccine? "I was fine until then, until I took the vaccine," says Brandon Goodwin, NBA player from the Atlanta Hawks team on Twitch stream. Goodwin, 26, began suffering from blood clots shortly after he was vaccinated. "I got sick and never recovered from it. I had back pain, I was especially tired in games. I was so tired, I felt like I could not run and get off the field. My back hurt. My back really started to ache ... so I found out I had blood clots. All. It's within a month ... ". Godwin explicitly claims that the vaccine is what caused what happened to him, and that the result is the elimination of his ability to play this season. "Yes, the vaccine has finished my season. A thousand percent." He said his group asked him to silence the story. "The Hawks were like 'Do not say anything about it. Do not tell anyone,'" he said.

Like Goodwin, in recent months more and more athletes have come out and stated in their voice or in writing, in media or social media interviews, about serious health problems they have experienced due to the vaccine. At the same time, there are more and more incidents of collapse and collapse, illness and even sudden death among athletes, including leading and well-known sports stars, as well as lesser-known athletes, those who play in local teams, including college athletes in different countries.

The Real-Time News investigation found 183 such cases among professional athletes, coaches, athletes at universities and colleges and youth athletes, all of which have occurred since December 2020, the month in which the global immunization campaign began. This large amount speaks for itself and tells a very different story from the mantra that the media repeats, according to which, the athletes who refuse to get vaccinated are just a handful of "vaccine opponents".

For many of the injured athletes, the injury means serious consequences for their health, their ability to continue playing, and even the continuation of their sporting careers. In 108 cases it was a death.

Common to most athletes - the young age and suddenness with which it happened, and the fact that most of them are men (only 15 of them women). The vast majority are aged 17-40, except for 21 older people (five aged 42-45, six aged 46-49, seven aged 51-54, and three others aged 60-64), and in at least over 80 cases the athletes were reported to feel unwell and suddenly collapse during a game, race or training, or immediately after. In most cases, it has been reported that the cause of the breakdown is heart-related, including myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) or a combination of both - premycarditis, heart attacks or cardiac arrest. The second cause reported in six cases is coagulation events, including pulmonary embolism, pulmonary blood clots in the brain and brain. We emphasize that the list we have is even longer, but for the sake of caution, cases were removed from it in which we did not have full details, so that only the cases that were reported in detail remained. In addition, cases were removed from the list in which evidence of previous risk factors was mentioned, such as a heart defect.

At least 108 sudden deaths have been reported among athletes since December, the start of the Corona vaccine campaign, the vast majority of them young people up to the age of 40. The list also includes youth players

Although not in all cases the immunized status of the injured athletes is published, and it is important to emphasize that the vulnerability cannot be determined from the vaccine, the large number of casualties since December among this young group, there are many reasons to assume it is mostly healthy and without background disease That athletes, at least the professional ones among them, are scrutinized carefully and relatively often), puzzling, and certainly constitutes a red flag and requires a comprehensive and in-depth clarification of the subject. Certainly the need for it cannot be eliminated through superficial claims. Also, given the almost sweeping duty of vaccination in many teams and leagues, as well as in universities and colleges, the assumption is that especially recently, it is often difficult to impossible for professional athletes to continue playing without being vaccinated. This finding is particularly striking against the background of the fact that fatal events resulting from the sudden collapse of athletes are considered according to the research literature to be a rare phenomenon.

Heartbreak in front of thousands of fans

On 31 October, Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero was hospitalized after feeling unwell during his team's game against Alavés. The 33-year-old Argentine star, who is considered the king of Manchester City's goalscorers of all time and the foreigner with the most goals in the Premier League of all time (181), called on Twitter for everyone aged 12 and over to get vaccinated. But on October 31, he was rushed to the hospital after feeling severe chest pain. He signaled to the coaches during the first half that he was asking to be replaced, then grabbed his heart and collapsed on the grass. This week it was reported in Spain that last tests revealed a severe arrhythmia, and the cardiologists who examined him are not optimistic about his ability to return to the pitch in a few months. At the moment, according to reports, Aguero's professional future and whether he will be able to continue playing football at all is unclear, and will only become clear after he undergoes further tests in the coming months.

Like Aguero, several superstars have collapsed in front of tens of thousands of viewers in recent months. Perhaps the best known is the Danish footballer Christian Eriksen, the Inter Milan player and the Danish national team. On June 12, during his team's opening match against Finland in the Euro 2020 tournament, 29-year-old Eriksen, who was at his peak of fitness, collapsed and went into cardiac arrest in front of 15,000 fans in the stands. For 20 minutes, the team's medical staff tried to revive him, and when they finally succeeded through an electric shock, he was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a pacemaker transplant.

A similar incident happened to 27-year-old cricketer David Wakefield , who collapsed during training on March 11 and suffered a cardiac arrest. He, too, survived thanks to the action of the emergency team, who performed CPR on him using a defibrillator, but it took long minutes and six electric shocks before his heart beat again. The diagnosis was myocarditis, and a pacemaker was implanted in his heart. In addition, apparently due to the prolonged time in which his heart stopped beating, he also suffered from swelling in the brain, which in order to reduce it was put to sleep and respirated. Only after three weeks in intensive care and then extensive rehabilitation, was he able to walk and talk again.

In June, 29-year-old Danish footballer Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in front of 15,000 fans. A similar incident occurred to 27-year-old cricketer David Wakefield on March 27, and in late July 18-year-old Belgian Rona Koja suffered a heart attack

At the end of July, Rona Koja from the Belgian 18-year-old Anderlecht Hogaldi team suffered a heart attack at the end of the first half of a friendly match. He was saved thanks to the swift action of his fellow actors, and immediately afterwards of the emergency services. On September 17, 25-year-old Bayern Munich player Kingsman Koeman was also forced to undergo surgery to correct arrhythmias. Another athlete hospitalized in July is Pedro Obiang, a professional Italian footballer who played as a liaison at the Serie A football club in Sesotho. The 29-year-old Obiang was hospitalized in July for ten days, according to a SUN report as a result of a lung problem, but other reports claim it was myocarditis.

And in August, Fabrika Naskala, the defender of the Turkish Shiktash football team, was hospitalized after collapsing on the pitch in the 70th minute of a game against the Gaziantepspor team.

Other athletes have reported serious problems that cast doubt on the continuation of their sporting careers. Take , for example, Florian Dagori, Who holds the world record for static freediving of respiratory arrest, wrote on his Instagram account: "After the second dose I noticed that my pulse was much higher than normal and my respiratory capacity dropped significantly .... 10 days after the second vaccination, I went to see a cardiologist and he told me it was A side effect of the Pfizer vaccine, 'there is nothing to worry about, just rest it will pass.' By the immune system and some tiny blood leaks from the valves that no longer close properly. "Like Sputnik, Synovak, Sinopar, etc., instead of the new mRNA vaccines."

Florian Dagori: "My first recommendation to free divers around the world is to choose a vaccine that is produced the old way, such as Sputnik, Synovak, Sinopar, etc., instead of the new mRNA vaccines."

Passed away suddenly

As mentioned, in 108 of the cases identified in the media reports, the collapse of the athletes ended in death. For example, on February 6, 2021, Clement Luco , a 25-year-old Cameroonian basketball player who played in Manila, died after suffering a sudden heart attack. On April 18, basketball player Anton Pippin, 33, who played for Texas A&M International University and later on the International Basketball Association's Upstate Heat team , died unexpectedly . On June 18, Robert Lima passed away , a footballer who moved to the Uruguayan Olympic team. Lima, 49, died of a sudden heart attack while playing football with friends.

In August, Michael Ujo, 27, a professional Nigerian-American basketball player from Florida who previously played for the Florida State center team and moved to Serbia , died unexpectedly . Ujo collapsed during training and died during resuscitation attempts at a local hospital in Serbia. Roy Butler , a 23-year-old Irish footballer who previously played for Waterford FC, also died on 17 August. The media reported his sudden death, but did not comment on his immunization status. However, his relatives said he died after the vaccination. "My beautiful nephew Roy Butler, of Irish Waterford City, has passed away today, after a miracle 'vaccine' ... I'm heartbroken and so angry," his aunt, Marianne Hart, tweeted on her Twitter account.

Roy Butler, 23, died four days after being vaccinated.

Alexaida Guadz , a 30-year-old marathon runner from Valencia, died during a race in August in the city of Nagoana in the state of Krabovo. She collapsed 50 meters from the finish line, and died after attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. Frank Breyer , a 37-year-old former French-Belgian footballer, also died of a sudden heart attack in August. And in Japan, Yusuka Kinoshita , a professional baseball player, died in August . He died after a month-long struggle at the hospital, where he was evacuated after collapsing during training on July 6. He was resuscitated and anesthetized during hospitalization, until his death on August 5th. The Japanese media reported extensively on his death. The news site Sponichi initially included the headline: "Resilience against Corona" but quickly changed the report. However, Yahoo JapanReported that the sudden collapse of the baseball player may have been related to the second corona vaccine he received. According to the report, Ochiro Oshima, the owner of the Chunichi dragon group where Kinushita played, said in an interview with him: "I heard he got sick after the vaccine. He is hospitalized and fighting for his life. I do not know the causal link between his vaccine and the collapse. ".

On October 10, the Pharma baseball club in Italy published an obituary for the sudden death of Simon Badudi, a baseball player and coach of the Park Ranger team. According to a report in the Corriere di Bologna, my 40-year-old uncle returned that evening from a party where his team was celebrating a victory and promotion to the league. At some point, it is not clear exactly when, he left his car by the side of the road and returned home on foot. He fell asleep, but a few hours later his heart stopped beating.

Athletes teenagers and children were also injured and died

The list also includes 23 teenagers, aged 12-17, of whom 16 died. 17-year-old Dylan Rich died in early September after suffering a heart attack during his team's youth cup game against Boston United; Elisha Gorham, also 17, a Baltimore football player who also collapsed during a game in October, and died of a heart attack and systemic failure; Bruno Stein, 15, a young goalkeeper from FC An der Fahner Höhe in Germany died suddenly in October; And Chloe Gianni Giavatzi, a young 12-year-old Italian tennis player who was found dead in her bed by her mother in June; Jason Kidd, also 12, is a basketball player from Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. Died unexpectedly in early November while warming up for school basketball practice. In August, three young cyclists from the same group were hospitalized in Belgium for three weeks apart with heart problems: Zander Verhagen, 17, Joppa Arfels, 15, and Yarko van Herc, also 15. Van Herc suffered chest pains during Versailles Race,

Refuse to remain silent

Some of the athletes themselves or their associates have openly stated a link between the immunization of Corona and their condition. For example, 34-year-old French tennis player Jeremy Chardi , who was previously ranked 25th in the world, has announced that he is suspending his games for the current season, and does not know when and if he will be able to play again. This is as a result of a series of severe health problems he has been suffering from since receiving the corona vaccine, including severe pain throughout the body during physical exertion. "I regret being vaccinated," Chardi declared in a media interview. “Since I got vaccinated (between the Olympics and the U.S. Open), I have a problem, I have had difficulties. "Suddenly I can not train, I can not play ... At the moment my season stops and I do not know when I will start again ... This is the first time that the idea that next season may be my last came to my mind."

Alexander Kissonga, an Italian professional basketball player who was hospitalized in late July after being diagnosed with premixturitis, shared his story on his Instagram accountHis, and left no room for doubt as to the fact that he linked the disease to the modern vaccine he had received. "I have been hospitalized for a month. I have been diagnosed with acute premiitis. In other words, it is an infection that causes inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart." Kisonga said he made a decision to share his story because he feels there is no discussion about the side effects of the vaccine. "What I'm most sorry about is that we do not talk about it !!! Then I found out that it is one of the possible side effects of the vaccine, and that it usually happens to young people ... The vaccine statistics say the benefits outweigh the harm, and here I wonder. .. Am I a minority who has suffered from the harms of the vaccine? Who treats it? Or rather - is anyone responsible for it? From what I can judge, if someone makes money on markers or vaccines, should he not be responsible for compensating those who unfortunately had negative effects ?! ".

19-year-old Sienna Knowles , a competitive horse rider from Australia who was hospitalized in October and diagnosed with blood clots in her chest, shared her condition in a series of Instagram posts that went viral, saying she became ill after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. "How crazy I quickly became from a super healthy 19-year-old girl who never suffered from any health problems - working full time, training and riding horses every day - to someone who was all taken from her after Pfizer's second vaccination," Knowles wrote. "My lungs are full of blood clots and the heart is stressed. My new normal [is] now that I have a pulmonologist, a cardiologist, blood tests, full body scans, an ultrasound of the heart and lungs." She added that she did not want to receive the vaccine because she was afraid. "I wish I would never have gotten it and been able to get my healthy body back."

Even Francesca Marcon , Italian volleyball player 38-year-old suffered from pericarditis after receiving the second dose of Pfizer on August 3, not silent. Markon, who immediately suffered from shortness of breath and chest pain, went to the emergency room the next day and was diagnosed with pericarditis, wrote on her Instagram account that she regrets being vaccinated: "I declare I am not an vaccine but I was never persuaded to take this vaccine and now I understand why," she wrote. Marcon. She went on to say, "Maybe it's a bit of a blasphemy - but I wonder: is there no kind of compensation for someone who suffers from health damage after the vaccine? Who pays the price for everything?".

Pauchi and the heads of the FDA, CDC and NIH did not come to listen to the victims

Kyle Warner, 29, a professional mountain bike rider from Idaho who has won three state championships and a famous YouTuber, was diagnosed with pericarditis, POTS and arthritis a month after receiving the second dose of Pfizer's vaccine. His career has been ruined, and he is still ill and unable to work, participate in races or train. In an interview with Dr. John Campbell in October, he said he received the first dose of the vaccine in mid-May, and the second dose in June. Two weeks later he experienced a rapid pulse sensation. Shalev went up again and he felt nauseous and weak and went to the emergency room. The doctors dismissed the incident and claimed he was having an anxiety attack. That he “resists vaccinations.” Four days later he was hospitalized again with pain and pressure in the chest area,

Warner was one of 20 people affected by side effects after the corona vaccines were invited to speak at a press conference organized by Senator Johnson in the Senate, along with doctors and scientists. Senator Johnson also invited Dr. Anthony Pucci and the heads of the CDC, the NIH and the FDA, the directors of Pfizer and Moderna and the representatives of the states of the victims. None of them showed up. Thank you to Dr. Pauchi and the heads of the organizations for not showing up and not listening to us. I am glad to know that our good is in front of your eyes. This message is for you. It is a message about how what is happening broke my heart, literally and figuratively. "

"Thank you to everyone who supported and understood me when I spoke on this issue," he wrote on his Instagram account. "Many of you know me as a pretty reasonable and caring guy and I never intended to be a part of all this discourse. However, after my experience this summer, and listening to thousands of similar stories, I feel I have to stand by the people who can not or do not have access to the same platform.

"It's not political, it's personal. I want the best for the world and for humanity, and it breaks my heart to see people suffer in every way. The last week in DC has shaken my view of the world drastically, and it made me realize how much we as sons "The average person needs to unite and sync with each other. Listen to my message before you judge or tag. I'm just a guy who cares about others and wants the government to recognize and support what's actually happening."

"The collapsing athlete": a rare phenomenon

The large number of athletes who collapsed and died this year must serve as a bright red light, especially in light of the fact that sudden death and cardiac arrest of athletes are considered a rare phenomenon in the research medical literature. According to an article published in May this year in the journal Sports Cardiology, entitled "The Collapsed Athlete", in the latest annual report for 2017, the National Center for the Study of Catastrophic Sports Injuries in the United States (NCCSIR) noted that for 36 years, from 1982 to 2017 , 862 non-traumatic catastrophic injuries occurred among U.S. college athletes, 44 of which were fatal. The main causes include cardiac arrest, stroke, hypothermia, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, trauma and overexertion. According to the article, "collapsing athlete" syndrome is defined as an athlete. Experiencing a sudden loss of stable tone, to the point of inability to continue attending the sporting event. These are cases that have occurred in the United States only, and only among college athletes, but the small numbers over so many years reflect the fact that the phenomenon is indeed rare.

For 36 years, from 1982 to 2017, 862 non-traumatic catastrophic injuries occurred among U.S. college athletes, 44 of whom were fatal. The main causes include cardiac arrest, stroke, hypothermia, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, trauma and overexertion.

In a study published in 2017 in the New England Journal of Medicine, a group of Canadian researchers examined the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest during participation in sports, between the years 2009-2014 among 12-45 year olds. They used a cardiac arrest database in Canada for this purpose. The study findings showed that during 18.5 million years of observation, 74 cases of sudden cardiac arrest occurred during participation in sports; Of these, 16 occurred during competitive sports and 58 during non-competitive sports. The incidence of sudden cardiac arrest during competitive sports was 0.76 cases per 100,000 sports years. According to the study, the occurrence of sudden cardiac arrest due to structural heart disease during participation in competitive sports was rare.

Another study, published in 2013 in the journal by researchers from the Department of Health Sciences at the University of Texas, identified over 13 years - between 2000 and 2013 - 54 cases of sudden cardiac deaths among young football players.

And it turns out that even at older ages, cardiac arrest during athletic activity is rare. A study published in 2015 in the journal Circulation, examined the cases of sudden cardiac arrest associated with sports in a large population in the metropolitan area of ​​Portland, among the 35-65 age group, between 2002 and 2013. The researchers identified 1,247 cases, of which 63 (5%) occurred during sports activities. In 16% of cases the victims had a previous heart disease, and in 56% they had cardiovascular risk factors. 36% of cases had cardiovascular symptoms during the week preceding the event.

5 times more FIFA athletes have died this year compared to previous years

In order to try to get a better picture of the data compared to previous years, we only looked at data relating to deaths among athletes registered with FIFA, and compared the data regarding the number of deaths among these athletes in previous years, compared to the number of cases this year.

To know how many deaths have occurred in reality during the past two decades among players FIFA (2001-2020), was used on Wikipedia, about " a list of registered players union who died while playing " (List of association footballers who died while playing). To know how many cases Happened this year - in 2021, we used the list displayed on Wikipedia, as well as the extended list of players who died during 2021, collected in the "Real Time News" research.

Dr. Josh Gtzko, senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Institute of Criminology at the Hebrew University, analyzed the data. "From an article published in the British Medical Journal indicates that the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD - sudden cardiac death) is one of 50 thousand ( With a range from one to 30,000 to one to 80,000), "he explains." According to FIFA data ( FIFA_BIG_COUNT.pdf ), in 2000 there were 242,000 athletes registered in the association, and in 2006 there were 265,000 athletes registered. "FIFA's size has not changed significantly in twenty years, which means we have to expect about 5 deaths a year."

"According to Wikipedia, between 2001-2020 there were an average of 4.2 deaths per year attributed to sudden cardiac death (SCD) or unexplained sudden death (SUD), with the vast majority being SCD. However, in 2021, according to the list in Wikipedia combined with The list of 'real-time news', there were 21 cases of SCD / SUD among FIFA players.

In other words, the bottom line is that instead of 4 deaths a year (according to Wikipedia data), or 5 cases a year (calculated according to the BMJ) during 2001-2020, 21 players have died so far this year. That is - about 5 times more than the annual average!

Dr. Getzko: "This figure is found to be statistically significant. In fact, there has not been another year since 2001 in which the difference between the number of cases observed of SCD / SUD and the expected number is statistically significant. "2021 is the only one where the difference is very statistically significant, something that the probability of its occurrence is slim - 2 out of 1,000 times."

Exercise after the vaccine? Caution can prevent disaster

Does performing strenuous sports activity after mRNA-based vaccines increase the risk of the vaccinated? This question has occupied in recent months the health ministries and experts around the world, especially in the context of myocarditis and cardiac events. This is in light of the ongoing reports flowing in from all over the world about increased side effects, especially among teenagers and young people. In Singapore, for example, as early as September 16 , the Ministry of Health issued a statement from a committee of experts on the subject stating that "vaccinated people, especially adolescents and young people, should avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks after each dose of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines." During this period, the vaccinated should "seek immediate medical attention if they develop chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations. Vaccine providers should advise this to the people receiving the vaccine."

In Israel, on the other hand, the Ministry of Health completely dismisses claims about the increased risk of physical activity. At the beginning of October, it was reported in the various media in the country that the professionals in the Ministry of Health formulate a recommendation according to which vaccinators, including young people under the age of 30, should refrain from strenuous activity and sports training for a week. Following the publication of Dr. Yoav Yehezkeli, an expert in internal medicine and medical administration, a lecturer in the Emergency Management Program at Tel Aviv University and one of the founders of the Epidemic Treatment Team (ZTM) on his Facebook page, where he welcomed this caution, the Ministry of Health chose to publish a crowning post Dr. Yehezkeli's publicity as "Pike", and announced that "experts from the Ministry of Health have overwhelmingly decided that there is no danger in sports after vaccinations ... go get vaccinated. Go out and practice. "

At a hearing held on October 6, members of the IDF (epidemic treatment team) decided by an absolute majority against a decision similar to the one made in Singapore. "Do not prevent physical activity after any vaccination ... I do not recognize that avoiding activity reduces myocarditis and this is very problematic at the level of the message of the safety of the vaccine."

"Team members completely rejected this recommendation, without holding a professional discussion," Dr. Yehezkeli wrote in response to the decision in the IDF. "No experts in the field were present at the hearing: cardiologists, sports doctors or exercise physiologists." According to him, the allegations that led to the cancellation of the recommendation, such as "there is no evidence that physical activity increases the risk of myocarditis following the vaccine," express a lack of professionalism. "Obviously, the effort itself is not the cause of myocarditis. Physical exertion increases the risk of a fatal arrhythmia in case the vaccine causes myocarditis. Fatal incidents for you to take precautionary measures? Or does the desire to erase from the public discourse any mention of a side effect from the vaccine outweigh it? ", He wrote.

Mild or life-threatening illness?

The link between corona vaccines and two known heart diseases: myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart) has been recognized by health authorities. Myocarditis can lead to arrhythmias, and is considered to cause about 20% of cases of sudden cardiac death. Often, there may be a condition that combines the two disorders, called premiocarditis. Along with the approval of the vaccine for adults and the issuance of an emergency permit for 12-15 year olds granted by the FDA, the US Food and Drug Administration announced in June an update in the drug leaflet of Pfizer and Modernena vaccines, regarding the increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination. For each of the two vaccines, the manufacturers' information leaflet was amended to include warnings against myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as information about both diseases. According to the FDA announcement, the update was written following a comprehensive review of the information and a discussion in the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee.

The first evidence of this connection came from Israel, when, following cumulative reports received from hospitals in the country, the Ministry of Health appointed a commission of inquiry to examine the issue. The committee, chaired by Prof. Dror Mevorach, reported its findings in an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The article included reports received from December 2020 to May 2021, with cases being monitored from the first vaccination day to 30 days after the second vaccination. The researchers reported 304 people with myocarditis symptoms, of whom, they said, 21 received an alternative diagnosis. Of the remaining 283 cases, 142 occurred after Pfizer vaccination, and of these in 136 patients the diagnosis was defined as certain or reasonable. According to the article, these are 136 cases of myocarditis out of 5.4 million people who were vaccinated with one or two doses.

While in absolute numbers it does sound small, it is important to understand that the occurrence of the phenomenon after the second dose is 5.3 times higher than expected. Moreover, when it comes to boys aged 16-19, the risk is 1 in 6,637 - a risk 13.6 times higher than expected. Moreover, as Prof. Mevorach himself noted at a meeting of the Vaccine Prioritization Committee held on June 3, it is likely that this is an underestimation of the cases. It should be noted that according to an article published in the journal Science, in a report submitted to the Ministry of Health on June 1, the researchers concluded that one in 3,000 to one in 6,000 boys and young people aged 16-24 developed myocarditis - a higher estimate than reported in the article itself. Prof. Mevorach himself, in a Twitter tweet from May 25, also wrote that he estimates that the incidence stands at one in 3,000 to one in 6,000.

According to the research literature, myocarditis is a life-threatening disease that can cause long-term damage to the heart muscle and lead to heart rhythm disorders and heart failure.

Most cases of myocarditis in the study were defined as mild and transient, but seven cases were defined as severe, and one case, of a young woman, ended in death. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that this is usually a mild illness, which involves only a short hospital stay. However, according to the research literature , it is a life-threatening disease, which can cause long-term damage to the heart muscle and lead to heart rhythm disorders and heart failure, which only with prolonged follow-up can reveal the true effect of myocardial tissue or myocardial tissue itself. Thus, even cases defined as mild require follow-up to rule out such damage. Dr. Michael Godovich, one of the members of the Vaccine Prioritization Committee, said in a discussion that presented the data from Prof. Mevorach's study disapproves of the emphasis that this is a mild disease. What's more, half of the patients were in intensive care. "

Another issue that arises, in light of the findings, is what is the prevalence of cardiac inflammation in children under 16 years of age? At present, there are still no studies or reports indicating the prevalence of myocarditis and pericarditis at these ages, nor after vaccination in a third booster dose.

Corona vaccines: 277 times higher risk of myocarditis compared to flu vaccines

Myocarditis and pericarditis are not the only cardiac effects in which an increase was found near corona vaccines.
Dr. Getzko analyzed data from the U.S. VAERS system (system for reporting side effects), focusing on cardiac events reported among teens and young men following corona vaccines from December (beginning of the vaccination campaign) to October 8, and comparing them to reports on Cardiac events in adolescents and young people after influenza vaccines in the last five flu seasons (2015/16 - 2019/20).

First, he examined the amount of cardiac events reported among 18-49-year-olds after corona vaccines, and the amount of these events among the same age group after influenza vaccines. He then examined the ratio of the incidence of cardiac events in corona-versus-flu vaccines per million vaccine doses. Results: The rate of cardiac events reported this year (December to October) following corona vaccines per million vaccine doses among 18-49 year olds was 46 times higher than the rate reported following influenza vaccines during the last five flu seasons. The rate of arrhythmia events following corona vaccines is 89 times higher than influenza vaccines; The rate of coronary artery disease is 65 times higher due to corona vaccines compared to influenza vaccines; The rate of heart failure is 17 times higher; The rate of other cardiac disorders is 46 times higher; The rate of pericarditis is 84 times higher; And the incidence of myocarditis is 277 times higher following corona vaccines compared to influenza vaccines.

"It is important to remember that these reporting systems are characterized by a very large built-in sub-reporting," Dr. Getzko said in an interview with Real-Time News. 40-50 or more. "The significance of this estimate is almost inconceivable in its scope. If the total number of reports of cardiac events is close to 100,000 (98,235 reports), then doubling by about 50,000 means about five million (!) Reports If the number of reports of coronary heart disease is about 17,000 (17,071), then in reality the number is 850,000; if the number of reports of heart failure is 6,577, then in reality the number is about 325,000. And if the number of reports of myocarditis is 1,512, then in reality the number is 75,600, all in a group of young people.

Increase in the rate of calls to MDA for cardiac events in young people

A study conducted several months ago by Prof. Rezaf Levy, an expert in systemic risk management, development and implementation of analytical models for risk forecasting in government bodies and health systems from MIT, based on the use of the Magen David Adom database, reinforces the concerns of Dr. Getzko's analysis. Prof. Levy analyzed the MDA readings in the years 2021-2019, focusing on readings related to cardiac arrest and heart attacks according to the definitions set by MDA teams in the field. This period includes 14 months without corona epidemic and without vaccines (2019 to March 2020); Ten months of epidemic (March 2020 to December 2020); and five-and-a-half months of epidemic with vaccines (January-May 2021). Over 83% in heart attack readings among women aged 20 to 29. Moreover, the study showed that the increase in case rates increases as the ages get younger.

Although the study data do not include information on the immunization status of the groups, the statistical analysis indicates a significant association between weeks in which there were many MDA readings diagnosed by medical staff as heart attacks and heart attacks in 16-39 year olds. The cardiac events were after the start of the vaccination campaign in 2021. Also, according to the article, the correlation seems to be particularly related to the administration of the second doses of the vaccine, and the decision to vaccinate recovering patients at these ages.

The study findings indicated a 25% increase in the readiness rate of cardiac events in the young age group in 2021 compared to previous periods, and an increase of over 83% in the readings of heart attacks among women aged 20-29. Moreover, the study showed that the increase in case rates increases as the ages get younger

Although the article did not claim that the increase was due to the vaccine, in light of the disturbing data, and especially in light of the proven link between the vaccine and myocarditis and the risk of cardiac events as a result of inflammation, Prof. Levy demanded a detailed and urgent examination of cases. The findings and the article itself were forwarded by the MIT research team to the Israeli Ministry of Health, but received no response. In an online meeting, an excerpt of which was published by the Ministry of Health on October 10, the head of health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price, claimed that the National Center for Disease Control reviewed Prof. Levy's research, and found that the data was incorrect. Great that I have seen and run in a very significant way, "she said referring to the claim about the link between the vaccine and cardiac events. Understand in depth what he did and see if there is anything in it.

Following this, on October 12, members of the Corona Emergency Council (PRC) contacted the director of the National Center for Disease Control, Prof. Little Keenan Boker, and asked for data on the date and vaccination status of the reported cases; the diagnosis in the hospital; Levy; the experts who examined his research; and whether an independent team was used. The request has not yet been answered. The request from "Real Time News" for a response in this matter from the information center for Corona on behalf of the Ministry of Health was also not answered.

As stated, at this stage it is not possible to establish a direct connection between the deaths of the competitive athletes described in the article, but the picture that emerges from it is very worrying. The large number of cases close to vaccination, compared to the relatively rare occurrence of these cases in athletes in previous years (pre-vaccinated corona), must serve as a warning sign indicating increased risk and requires thorough, professional and independent reference and testing, as well as the establishment and improvement of existing monitoring and monitoring systems. Side effects, before continuing to impose additional vaccines and boosters on the public, and in particular on young people, adolescents and children.

Some of the numbers in this seem off. I'm been following this for having played footy into my 40s, and used a fair few recreational drugs over my life that are more likely to induce heart issues in athletes so i did it for my own benefit. The numbers are higher than suggested in the article. At least double the numbers of professional (not semi pro or amateur) soccer players die on field or training, 7-8 per year iirc. Although this year there have been alot of deaths.

But Erickson for example ... he hadn't been vaccinated or infected with COVID-19 according to Inter's CEO or general manager. So leaving that in this article is very misleading. If they can't get that simple thing right why should anyone trust the rest of the article? Its the most high profile case of cardiac arrest on a footy pitch in years.

David Wakefield, the Kiwi cricketer referred to in the article had his Myocarditis event before vaccinations had started in his part of NZ. Again why should I trust this article when they can't be arsed to check this stuff out. It took me five minutes to find that out.

Arrhythmia's are common among athletes and the general population. Tho Agueres' one coming so soon after his covid shot is very sus.

I've been making the very point you're trying to make posting this on another website but its not as cut and dried as this article makes out. And frankly some of the stuff in this article is flat out bullshit, like attributing Eriksson's and Wakefield's issues to vaccines when they weren't vaccinated at the time of the illnesses.

The increase in the number of deaths this year (not 21 vs 7 but more like 15 v 7 that I have confirmed myself) is probably the biggest data point worth chasing up tho.
