Interesting article on sudden death in young athletes, wrote before COVID.
abcnews.go.com...
"An average of 66 athlete deaths were caused by cardiovascular disease in the last six years in the study period, with the most in a year being 76"
It does appear that either COVID itself or the vaccine / booster has played a role in cardiac arrest. I would assume its more the vaccines and boosters since it appears those having the issues had the vaccine.

There may be some affected by the vaccination. There are people affected by all sorts of medication, foods, vaccinations, etc. It can also be caused by Covid itself.
Remember I'm already supposed to be dead or have a 350% increase in cancer, or VAIDS, or one of the other 20 deadly results. I can say I haven't had any coworkers or family or friends die since the vaccination has been rolled out. But, plenty during the pandemic.

The supposed 10 sigma increase is based on pizz poor data.
Not to mention all the heightened scrutiny around the vaccine nowadays, if a player even trips or gets tired you got people questioning if the "vaccine caused it".
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
James 4: 17
There are several sources for Covid-19 and overall mortality data. There is the government. There are the funeral directors. There are the churches and there are the life insurance companies. Out of all of these sources the most professional and the most accurate should be the life insurance companies because life and death are their entire business model and if they get those figures wrong they lose money
(The Center Square) – The head of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
He said at the same time, the company is seeing an “uptick” in disability claims, saying at first it was short-term disability claims, and now the increase is in long-term disability claims.
“For OneAmerica, we expect the costs of this are going to be well over $100 million, and this is our smallest business. So it’s having a huge impact on that,” he said.
He said the costs will be passed on to employers purchasing group life insurance policies, who will have to pay higher premiums.

Anyone who watches European football will tell you there's been an increase in these events over the last 2 years. It's simply not up for debate.
That's not to say it's the vaccines, proving that link would be very difficult. However, denying the increase makes you look totally disingenuous.

All elite footballers, previous to them i can only think of one or two in the last decade.
Then you have two premier league games being suspended in the same DAY due to fans having heart attacks.
