Prayers for #DamarHamlin, and disgust for grifters trying to spin this awful event into anti-vaccine propaganda with 0 evidence. #CommotioCordis is rare, but it’s a better explanation than some conspiracy theory. My heart goes out to Hamlin, his family, and the team. #BillsMafia
Hello, people in my replies: 1. No, both possibilities are not equally valid. The actual events leading up to the cardiac arrest are important in determining cause, and given what we actually know about vaccines, that is less likely to be the cause. (1/3)
2. We are not dismissing the possibility of vaccine-related events “prematurely” nor are we opposed to questions. But knowledge and evidence matter in determining likelihood. 3. VAERS is not an indicator of actual vaccine adverse events, so it cannot be used to prove (2/3)
Anti-vaccine theories. It’s a jump-off point for investigations, but a lot of VAERS reports are not actually vaccine-related events. 4. No, we have not seen thousands of athletes die on the field suddenly in just the past 2 years.(3/3)
