I apologize, Im, not trying to come across as an azz, a lot of people tell me it must come naturally then, however, the blog with the reference from a study over 10 years ago.

No worries. Yes those studies are from 10 years ago, that shows clearly that these things were VERY prevalent before Covid. I actually believe these cases were on the rise. I remember hearing about it on the news and even local schools near me. The issue is that some kids have heart issues that don’t present until they do intensive sports like the kind in high school. Sadly, some of them have literally dropped dead.

Now take that information and let it happen now and most people would assume Covid Vaccine. The reality is that some of these kids haven’t even taken the vaccine. I am no vaccine lover, I do believe there are side effects and maybe long term harm, however we have to temper these thoughts with reality in this case. These kids were having heart related issues on a pretty frequent basis pre covid.

Definitely, I agree we won't know for sure till will can get some long term data, and even then it might not be conclusive

I do have nieces and nephews and most play competitive sports, their parents are a little more than semi-concerned.

I did find this for 2016 it's for ages 1-19 but I would assume that includes exercising teens and the heart disease deaths are 4th from the bottom

The 10 Leading Causes of Child and Adolescent Death in the United States in 2016, in Order of Frequency.*



The good news is heart disease has been consistent if there are any changes because of vaccines and/or COVID it ought to be fairly evident.

But the CT in me has to ask why is it so difficult to find the cause of deaths for adolescents from more recently 2017-2019?

This article doesn't have all the stats but the footnotes reference more recent data.

But what most parents don’t know is that SCA is the #1 killer of student athletes3 and the leading cause of death on school campuses(4). One in 300 youth has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk(5). In fact, an estimated 7,000 (6) to 23,000 (7) youth are stricken annually.

I got my kids full physicals before sports. They had an excellent pediatrician.
My middle kid is super tall and lanky. Her Dr. Told me she would have a 100% guarantee of a torn ACL if she played
Basketball, soccer, or a couple of other sports.

I hope they start doing some things proactively regarding the heart issues. The other factor someone else might have mentioned is that a lot of kids are obese now. They might not look it because the population as a whole is so overweight now, but take an underlying heart condition, obesity and high impact sports… man that is a recipe for disaster!

The chemicals in Diet food make you fat and lower your immune system, Aspertame has been shown to have insidious effects on the immune system, in studies in mice, there are loads, glysophate was regulated, now its in everything and it kills you slowly, the chemicals in food now are designed to make you ill and subdued in their care

It's called die"T" for a reason, it's in your face, dint believe a word I say, research the scientific journals and you will see

That could be. Also conditions. One of the recent ones I read about, I think in South Carolina. High school football player, big kid and heavy, probably defensive position, anyway they delayed practice earlier in the day because of the heat index, but was still over 90 when they practiced later. A kid who maybe hasn't had enough water before they even practice could be in trouble running for periods of time in the heat.

Local kid died shoveling snow a few weeks ago. Blood vessel in his neck let go. He was in excellent health, did swimming and ran track. He was NOT vaccinated. My sympathy to all of their families, but, sh*t happens. If you want to really do an honest study of this. You'd probably need to go back at least ten years before the vaccine and identify the cause of death in a specific age group. Then you would need at least five years, of data, AFTER the vaccine before you could even start.

With that being said, in my opinion the vaccine is still EXPERIMENTAL because data like that hasn't been collected on it. I doubt it ever will be.

I'll make the same argument on Global Warming. We haven't had accurate thermometers long enough to collect enough data to show any kind of trend. In 1991 I really missed a chance. I worked at a small airport. Four times a day we would log the temperature, barometric pressure, wet/dry bulb thermometer, wind speed and direction, in a ledger. Every month a girl would type it up and send it to NOAA. (the airport got some money for it). In 1991 they put in an automatic weather station and we stopped doing it. I threw away ledgers that went back to the 1920's. The box with the instruments was installed at that time and it was the same thermometer. I would have loved to have thrown that info into a database and plot a graph.
