BJ Thompson taken to hospital [now out]

[Shag]

The Chiefs postponed today's practice after a medical emergency. One of their players was taken by ambulance to an area hospital and is in stable condition.

The Chiefs will practice tomorrow instead.

Yeah, come on here guys. All that matters right now is BJ gets better and hopefully can keep playing. What caused it really isn’t relevant to us as fans, and we just need to support him.

That bullshit was shot down yesterday. Try to keep up.

A lot of speculation in here on the causes, including breakdown of the NHS and complications from past covid infections. But the important point is:

No evidence of vaccine effect

The rise in cardiac problems has been pointed to by some online as evidence that Covid vaccines are driving the rise in deaths, but this conclusion is not supported by the data.

One type of Covid vaccine has been linked to a small rise in cases of heart inflammation and scarring (pericarditis and myocarditis). But this particular vaccine side-effect was mainly seen in boys and young men, while the excess deaths are highest in older men - aged 50 or more.

And these cases are too rare - and mostly not fatal - to account for the excess in deaths.

Finally, figures up to June 2022 looking at deaths from all causes show unvaccinated people were more likely to die than vaccinated people.

While this data on its own can't tell us it's the vaccine protecting people from dying - there are too many complicating factors - if vaccines were driving excess deaths we would expect this to be the other way around.

But excessive mortality has remained high. Nobody knows why. And this kid was way too damn young to deal with random unplanned death but it sounds like the Chiefs medical staff was reactive to the extreme and saved his life.

Do you ever talk about the Kansas City Chiefs? Do you even like them? Do you even like football at all?

I seem to remember a time when the moderators of this very forum posted a thread about keeping political bullshit in the cesspool. Hell, they even stickied the thread.

Judging by this and several other threads, that must have been either a bluff or unenforceable. It’s ****ing tiring though.

[Kiimo]

Making vaccines political was the original problem it should not be a political issue at all.

I'm not going to even discuss the "evil vaccine" fairy tales. I'm going to devote my time to real issues like lower back tattoos containing ink that causes phosphorus fires near microwaves. Do your reading, people, and you'll join my crusade.

I'm sure the Colts are thrilled with this. Knocked himself out for 7 hours to get a tattoo that's covered with gambling symbols.

Tattoos are kind of supposed to be a testament to your ability to withstand pain, like a badge of honor.

you go under I'm sorry that's a pussy way out

Coincidentally, the 5K Charity Run To Prevent Lower Back Tattoo Phosphorus Burns was three weeks ago. I hope you'll put it on your calendar and support our cause next year. All finishers get a midriff t-shirt.

Anthony Richardson is never going to enjoy a Totino's pizza roll again.
