A friend of ours was having breakfast with her sons the morning after they were vaxxed. Her teenage son stood up and fell down dead.

They performed an autopsy but refused to release their findings.

“When I was in high school, I don’t remember any body suddenly dying, except for a car accident or drowning.”

When I was in high school there was no internet.

Heart conditions and youth athletes
Sports-related deaths are mainly caused by coronary artery disease in adults and cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia in youths according to a 2018 review.

Other heart conditions, like myocarditis, can contribute to sudden cardiac death, but these conditions do not occur suddenly. Generally, a person with myocarditis would likely feel sick and not participate in the sport.

There is an occasion where bad outcomes like sudden cardiac arrest occur in an athlete. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes. Estimates vary, but some reports suggest that about 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 80,000 young athletes die of sudden cardiac death each year. For comparison, the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in the general population is about 1 in 1,000 people yearly.

Sudden cardiac death is often caused by faulty electrical signaling in the heart. A very fast heartbeat causes the lower heart chambers (ventricles) to quiver uselessly instead of pumping blood. This irregular heart rhythm is called ventricular fibrillation. Any condition that strains the heart or damages heart tissue can increase the risk of sudden death.

The only high school kid I knew that died at that age was a drug induced suicide.

The kid sounds like he followed all the rules—which meant taking the vaxx because adults told him it was “safe and effective”.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Internet has been around for decades.

It is a new phenomenom. I would think 10 cases per year in athletes. It has always been a good story for the MSM to pick up on.

Yes, if “back then” was in the 60’s-80’s. In the 1990’s ALL weather forecasts were as identical to today. All news was nationalized. If you were watching for some story you had to watch the entire broadcast. The death of young athletes would always make the news. “They” love to hook the women, because the men will follow.

Who refused to realease the findings? The family to outsiders or the medical examiner to the family?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The Medical Examiner said they could not release the autopsy report to the family for several years.

In case you haven’t noticed most of the people on FR were in high school before the internet. And the current form of the internet, where there is no such thing as local news, is really only about 10 to 15 years old.

Not really. Sure hardcore digital people might have been able to get it. And no the death of young athletes didn’t always make the news. TV news only has 22 minutes, and dead kids ain’t hooking the female audience.
