100 athletes who died of heart attacks prior to the CoVID era.

For every 100 you can provide I can easily provide 100 too.

Go ahead then.

You've proven nothing

I've proven that sudden cardiac death happened in athletes prior to the CoVID era.

I think it would be safe to assume that prior instances of cardiac death in athletes prior to the past 2 years were well established and somewhat documented, and no doubt as a result of several different causes.

What seems to be implied in the discussion is that there may be relationship between events in the past two years that may directly or indirectly be the cause of cardiac deaths in athletes, perhaps not a typical cause prior to the pandemic.

There have been many documented cases of myocarditis in both cases of COVID, and in response to the vaccines used to reduce the symptoms of COVID. We also look at the effects of lockdowns on people's physical and mental health. Would you not agree, that there have been documented cases as per my examples, and that there are likely to have been, or that will be as a result of the example causes?

Yeah i agree completely with your first 2 paragraphs.

Sorry mate, i missed your examples. What were they?

Apologies for not making that more clear, I'm exhausted from work and will also refrain from interweb hunting articles to suggest there would be specific evidence for each, but could some examples of more recent cardiac events may have resulted from:

  • Covid-19 infection
  • Negative response from COVID vaccines
  • Aggravation of preexisting condition due to COVID or the COVID vaccine
  • Detriment to health related directly or indirectly to harsh lockdown measures in certain regions.

It will be difficult to guage the true nature of harm caused by any, all or none due to the poor perception of trust that the public has in the health services and government behaviour during the pandemic, but if we establish that these are valid possibilities, they are worthy of discussion.

Yep, agree completely.
