Wahl was covering his eighth World Cup. He wrote Monday that he had visited a hospital while in Qatar.
“My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you,” Wahl wrote. “What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort. I didn’t have Covid (I test regularly here), but I went into the medical clinic at the main media center today, and they said I probably have bronchitis. They gave me a course of antibiotics and some heavy-duty cough syrup, and I’m already feeling a bit better just a few hours later. But still: No bueno.”

It would have been a more deadly death without the vax.
Insert “fully vaccinated” meme here:
Sudden cardiac ‘bronchitis’ ... that’s a new one to me. /s
Chest pressure/discomfort ... somebody at the media medical center screwed up.
Heavy duty cough syrup sounds like an od.
“Vaccines are the leading cause of coincidences.”
There is a nasty respiratory bug going around now. He probably should have taken a break but didn’t because his was working at the World Cup.
Do journalists really work that hard at the world cup? What do they do? Watch a boring game for 2 hours and then type on their Apple laptops? That is working hard?
Heavy duty cough syrup....codeine?
When I was young and had back flareups I was given codeine muscle relaxers. They worked well when washed down with a couple of beers. I would be insane to do something like that now. Ahh youth. Only for the young.
The new “bronchial Covid” obviously. Where’d I put those masks?
25 years with Sports Illustrated
Only career he ever had
He died from the mRNA so called Vax, NOT from COVID.
Dead is Dead.
Real Data now reveals that more people died from the Jab than from Covid.
Excess deaths world wide are huge and not reducing in rate. Some nations? 13-25%.
The Covid LIE is exposed.
Try it
Finding a way to stand out in sports reporting is very tough
I run a sports website and finding fresh content and developing sources takes a long time
Bump
The first phase was 4 games a day for a week and half. Pretty much non stop action if you wanted it. Last game started at 10 PM local for international TV broadcasts. Hectic schedule.
Check out Robotrippin’.
He was a great soccer journalist and will be missed.
Pneumonia can cause cardiac arrest.
Got it, thanks for sharing your experiences. Also, I did not know the schedule was so hectic.
Life expectancy in 1922 was 50 some years, like this writer. This is 2022. To think of it as "finally" isn't right. Unexpectedly? ... Suddenly? ... Hmmm, such a common word these days.
