Let's not forget that the 'athlete collapse' epidemic (if it's real -- it's not) is better linked to COVID infection than vaccination.
The Occams Razor people got very quiet when I pointed this out.
Forget the "collapse" part. It's too easily refuted as subjective and arbitrary. Death, on the other hand, is not. As I suggested earlier, let's look ONLY at athlete deaths in this chart.
- Athlete deaths in 2005-2006 averaged 66/year.
- Covid appeared in Jan 2020, yet over a year later in the five months from Jan to May 2021, athlete deaths (33) occurred at an annualized rate of 79/year. That's very close to the rate back in 2005-2006, but the vaccine was not yet widely available to athletes in the first half of 2021.
- The covid vaccine became available to younger people (i.e. athletes) around May to July 2021. What happened then?
- The rise in athlete deaths skyrocketed beginning in June 2021. The annualized death rate for June 1 to December 31, 2021 was 672.
That's a change in annualized death rate from 79 pre-vaccine to 672 post-vaccine. That's an 8.7-fold increase! Again, this jump appeared just as the vaccine became available (or in some cases mandated) for athletes.
If it were long-Covid or a post Covid effect, we would see death rates higher in the first part of 2021. We did not.
Occam's Razor points to the vaccine as being the cause. Completely rejecting the vaccine as a possible cause without researching it, as the medical establishment has been doing for the past four months, is a violation of the public trust.
