Scientists Say Covid Is The More Likely Cause Of Footballers Collapsing With Heart Problems

Scientists are dismissing any speculation that the Covid jab could be linked with the recent on-field collapses of three footballers and believe that the virus itself is the more likely cause.

Questions were raised after three footballers collapsed in the space of a week….but they were only the tip of the iceburg. In October cardiac and circulatory events on the sportsfield went through the roof

Documents reveal that in that one month at least 69 athletes collapsed. Many of them died

‘Experts’ however have pointed to research showing that previous covid infection would be a more likely contributory factor than the covid jab, if there was any link at all.

One leading cardiaologists Prof Guido Pieles says the recent cluster of footballers collapsing is ‘a coincidence’ and says players should not panic.

The Telegraph reports: A recent American study found that younger people infected with the virus were up to six times more likely to develop myocarditis than those who received the vaccine.

“Anything the vaccines do, natural infection will almost certainly be more common with disease,” said Prof Keith Neal, who has 25 years of experience in the research of the epidemiology of infectious diseases at the University of Nottingham.

Prof Jonathan Ball, a molecular virologist at the same university, added: “Studies have shown that Covid is more likely to cause myocarditis and pericarditis than the vaccines.”

The pair, who referenced research by universities and heart centres in Ohio, had already expressed their concern about former players sparking fears the vaccine had contributed to the recent health alerts.

Prof Neal said there was no evidence to show conclusively that any aspect of Covid was impacting on health in elite sport. “But these things are always investigated if reported,” he added.

Wyke, Fleck and Traore were still undergoing tests on Friday as administrators in other sports faced up to the prospect of more restrictions due to a virulent new strain.

Rugby, cricket and golf fixtures have already been disrupted in South Africa, and there will be inevitable nervousness that the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon may be plunged into chaos from January 9.

On Friday, Welsh rugby union clubs Cardiff and Scarlets were making efforts to fly home immediately from the United Rugby Championship after the Government put South Africa on its red list.

“With the situation in South Africa having changed so quickly, we are now looking to repatriate our staff ASAP,” Cardiff said on Twitter.

Munster and Zebre were also due to play in South Africa. “The United Rugby Championship is working with the four visiting clubs … to facilitate their return as soon as possible,” a URC statement said.

They were the first clubs to arrive in South Africa since the onset of the pandemic and the postponement of fixtures will come as a major blow to the newly-launched tournament, involving sides from South Africa, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.

Golf’s Joburg Open, the first European Tour event of the new season, was also hit by withdrawals. A total of 19 golfers from Britain, Ireland, Denmark and Germany either withdrew before play or retired during their Friday rounds.

In cricket, South Africa began the first of a three-match one-day international series against Holland, but the second and third games appear certain to be called off.

With the world facing a fresh wave of infections, scientists said it was unwise of sporting pundits to continue questioning the wisdom of having the jab.

TalkSport was forced to cut off Trevor Sinclair from a broadcast this week as he questioned whether Fleck, who collapsed against Reading on Tuesday, had recently had the jab. “I think everyone wants to know if he [Fleck] has had the Covid vaccine,” he said.

Former professionals, such as Ramon Vega and Matthew Le Tissier, had demanded investigations, prompting scientists to remind them of their “public responsibility”. “Given the track record of certain footballers in the field of anti-vaccine beliefs, it is totally irresponsible to make unsubstantiated comments, as opposed to getting them properly dealt with,” Prof Neal had said.

Prof Robert Dingwall, a public health specialist at Nottingham Trent University, said: “There are many reasons why on-field collapses may occur, even in clusters. We should all be careful not to blame any particular cause until they have been properly investigated. It may be tempting to blame Covid vaccines but pundits do have a public responsibility not to fuel vaccine hesitancy without any real evidence that this is a common factor in widely separated events.”

  1. So now heart problems are a result of Covid? How stupid do these people think we are and if Covid only had an incubation period of 14 days why were people not having heart problems before the injection?

  2. The researchers La Quinta Columna in Spain, who first reported that graphene oxide is in the injections, have said that physical exertion causes the graphene oxide to become more activated. Athletes are therefore in grave danger from it.

  3. Aguero: Had Covid bad, was out for months, unknown if he had the vaccine
    Fleck: Had Covid in January during Scotland international break, unknown if he had the vaccine
    Wyke: Collapsed in April and his club have categorically denied it is related to the vaccine (probably because they know he’s unvaccinated)
    For each of these, everyone’s super quick to blame the vaccine for their collapse, when the truth is if it is related to Covid at all, it is exposure to the virus not the vaccine that is the most likely cause. Studies show getting Covid causes more heart issues than the vaccine does.

    • Covid is know to damaged and weaken the hearts and lungs the vac is still a unknown by every vac has side effects,Useing the finger-Air/pluse meters is a given not a option at this point

  4. like you say physical active could be limited after the shot due to some compounds,it could also be due to having Had covid which weakens and stresses the heart and lungs to the point of needing time to recover our fitness levels.I myself have been through that weakness years ago but I have rebuilt myself again.I don`t think it is a good ideal to rush into anything right now other than how to fight covid and put it behind us somehow?

  5. Fitness levels lost to covid and the compounds in the vax will need to be recouped and gym time should be heart.air metered by finger meter

  6. Just buy finger air/pulse meters for everyone and watch those levels untill the time that this is all over

  7. Just give me one friggin reason we should believe one friggin word these lying pos “experts” spew from their crooked mouths!
