Ready Made Excuse: Energy Drinks
Is this being run up the flagpole to cover for increased sudden deaths of young athletes?
Blood clots caused by energy drinks?
According to a very recent article in the U.K.’s Express, this earth shattering news may explain why there have been so many young athletes collapsing while participating in sports. This new phenomenon seems to be caused by these kids drinking copious amounts of energy drinks. Dated August 30, 2022, the headline screams the warning:
Popular non-alcoholic drink associated with blood clot formation within '1 hour' of intake
The research referenced is from a study published in the Journal of Surgical Research on June 17, 2015. It has taken seven years for this study to make it to the British paper.
So, energy drinks provide the ready-made excuse for all of these deaths. The dates, however, don’t match up with reality.
An obscure article was published in April 2019 with the same warning but without citing a source.
Another U.K. paper reported, in 2019, on the same 2015 research as being something just discovered.
Then there is this story from 2012 that reports that the FDA is probing deaths associated with consumption of highly caffeinated energy drinks. Two Dicks, Durbin (D-Ill.) and Blumenthal (D-Conn.), called for much tighter regulation of these drinks.
All of these articles—and more—were published, using the same source (or earlier studies) that came before covid was but a glimmer in St. Fauci’s eye.
A 2017 Reason Magazine article does a good job of setting the energy-drink-excuse record straight.
These are panic porn articles which may now be pressed into service to counter claims that the “vaccine” is causing sudden deaths among athletes. If more pop up, don’t believe them.
Study finds Athlete Deaths are 1700% higher than expected since Covid-19 Vaccination began
According to a report by The Exposé, from 1966 to 2004, an average of 2.5 athletes died per month while participating in sports. From January 2021 to April 2022, the average deaths per month are 42. The highest month reviewed was March 2022 when 92 (of 132 athletes who collapsed) died. All data is collected from worldwide sources and does not reflect on U.S. cases exclusively.
As of March 2022 (there may be a more recent assessment I couldn’t find) 769 athletes, mostly around 23 years of age, have collapsed on the field of play following injection with covid “vaccines”. According to Children’s Health Defense, 890 athletes overall had cardiac arrest and 579 died from their sudden illness.
Here is a full list, as of April 2022, of athletes who have died worldwide.
But let’s make sure we have this right. A 1,700% increase of deaths since the beginning of the “vaccination” program began is a bit of panic porn in and of itself.
PolitiFact, that institution of high moral clarity and truth sayers (in case you’re wondering, yes, this is a very sarcastic characterization), lays out a semi-coherent argument for these high death counts to be inaccurate. However they use biased logic to reach the conclusion that increased death claims are false:
The 769 figure, meanwhile, comes from an April 2022 segment on One America News Network, a conservative cable news service that in the past has shared problematic claims related to COVID-19.
But PolitiFact — and others — have repeatedly investigated the incidents cited in these claims. The details of these episodes show that vaccines are neither causing athletes to collapse, nor are they connected to other sudden death episodes.
PolitiFact claims One America News is dubious because they are conservative though it claims that The Washington Post, another bastion of the righteous, is a trusted arbiter of truth and the American Way.
In most of the cases cited by The Exposé article, it is not absolutely clear whether the athlete, as cited by PolitiFact, had been “vaccinated” or not or whether they may have died from some other ailment unassociated with covid and the “vaccine”. Knowing the absolute reign of terror that the covidian cult has exerted through mandates, the assumption would be that the vast majority of these athletes had to have been “vaccinated” in order to participate.
The major flaw in The Exposé study suggesting a high mortality rate among current young athletes is the comparison of 2021-22 data with that of 1966-2004. There are 17 years of data missing. Participation in sports, especially by women, has probably increased during those 17 years, thus skewing any data comparison.
If energy drinks were causing deaths among young athletes, then why the sudden jump between the average of 2.5 athletes a month (we’ll assume the average did not change tremendously between 2004 and 2021) to the claimed 42?
I personally believe that not only did the “vaccine” fail at eliminating the dreaded plague of the 21st Century, but it has created more problems than it was supposed to have solved.
The CDC has recently recognized myocarditis as a side-effect of the “vaccines”, particularly among young men, but has downplayed this issue. However, myocarditis can be an extremely dangerous condition. A 2017 article shows the wide range of issues that can be expected from the disease.
Though each case is unique, fortunately the prognosis of the disease is mostly positive. In general, uncomplicated myocarditis often heals within several weeks. In other cases, the inflammation and damage of the heart may need longer to heal so this may take a few months or even a year to recover completely. In a minority of cases, the disease causes serious and irreversible damage to the myocardium, leading to a persistent heart failure even though if the inflammation has relieved – therefore, long-term medical therapy or even heart transplantation is suggested.
If you shoot up a kid with a substance that can cause extreme inflammation of the heart and you let the kid go out and fully exert themselves athletically, it stands to reason that there will be some tragic and sudden deaths. In more cases, these kids may have long term illnesses from which they may never recover. It is absolute insanity to require these kids and young adults to receive a substance in which long term effects have not been determined.
How many are acceptable losses? Not one.
As time moves from this abject failure of disease management, debates will rage. If more deaths occur, both sides of the “vaccine” debate will throw out more data. Because of a lack of peer-reviewed study on possible negative effects of taking the mRNA substance, we have to lean on best intentions research. (Much of the research that show negative effects of the “vaccine” has been shut out of academic journals.) The other side of the debate has offered only limited data and, in many cases, outright lies.
So, while I don’t care for energy drinks, they don’t cause sudden death of our children, family, and friends in any meaningful statistic. Take anything thrown out there with a grain of salt. If you do your own research or simply read something that supports one side or another, the best thing to do is be aware of the date of the information presented, whether it’s before covid, during covid, or after.
Why do I put “vaccine” in quotations? Because what has been mandated to be injected into our bodies is not a “vaccine”. It is an experimental substance for which we have no clue as to what the long term effects may be. Because the FDA and CDC—and all of the other failed agencies—have continually changed the definition of vaccine, I cannot accept that the mRNA substance is a true vaccine.
