769 Athletes Collapsed This Year During Competition
More than 769 athletes have collapsed on the field during a game from March 2021 to March 2022. The statistic was revealed by One America News Network (OAN), which also found the average age of the athletes who suffered cardiac arrest is just 23 years old.The unprecedented surge in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes coincides with the rollout of COVID vaccines.
“How many 23-year-old athletes were collapsing and suffering heart attacks before this year? Do you know any 23-year-old people who had heart attacks before now? And these are just the ones we know about.
“How many have gone unreported? Nearly 800 athletes — young, fit people in the prime of life — falling down on the field. In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago.
“Coincidence? When the Pfizer vaccine is known to cause heart inflammation? No. In fact, many doctors treating these players list their injuries and deaths as being directly caused by the vaccine … This is not a coincidence.”

Novavax Announces Early Data on COVID and Influenza Combo Vaccine
Vaccine maker Novavax on Wednesday announced that early data on its combination vaccine targeting COVID and influenza showed the vaccine produced a strong immune response.Participants in the Phase 1 trial had a median age of 59 and all previously had received COVID vaccines. Novavax plans to move forward with a Phase 2 trial this year to confirm the appropriate dosing levels, and plans to launch a Phase 3 trial on efficacy during the 2023 flu season at the earliest, Dubovsky said.
Novavax’s COVID vaccine does not use mRNA technology but synthesizes the virus spike outside the human body.
The vaccine also uses a novel adjuvant that contains a purified extract from the bark of a tree in South America, to induce a broader immune response.
