    From Doc’s link,

    Sudden cardiac arrest (45.5%) was the most common type of event

    From July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 there were a total of 76 catastrophic injuries/illnesses captured by NCCSIR among high school and college organized sport participants. Of these, 66 events were due to or occurred during sport-related activities (Table 11). There were also 10 catastrophic events that occurred during non-sport related activity (8 cardiac-related, 1 infectious illness, and 1 suspected cardiac): 2 collegiate and 8 high school level; 3 female and 7 males; 9 fatal and 1 non fatal

    Sudden cardiac arrest (45.5%) was the most common type of event

    Sport: 66 x 0.455=30
    Non sport: 8 (possibly 9)

    Less than 1 per week.

    Going forward, I will still be on the lookout for the medical community to start describing this phenomena as Sudden Athlete Death Syndrome (SADS).

    Wallstreetonparade has a couple of articles about Omarova, nominee for heading the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Wall Street on Parade is not politically motivated; they are just anti-corruption and anti-big-wall-street-banks-and-thier-CEO’s-taking-everything. They wrote this about Omarova and the Congressional hearing just a day or so ago:
    **************

    […] If one were to score yesterday’s confirmation hearing as a baseball game, it was Republicans 15, Democrats 0. The Republican Senators simply read Omarova’s verbatim statements that she made in recent papers or video appearances and the Democrats had no ammunition to counter these damaging words other than to call it all a smear campaign.

    Senator Pat Toomey, a Republican from Pennsylvania and Ranking Member of the Committee, said this as part of his opening remarks:

    “Let’s talk about some of Professor Omarova’s radical ideas. For starters, she wants to effectively ‘end banking as we know it.’ What does that mean? Well, she’s told us. In ‘The People’s Ledger,’ a paper she published just last month, she outlined her plan for nationalizing retail banking. Under her plan, ‘central bank accounts fully replace—rather than uneasily co-exist with—private bank deposits.’ In other words, you couldn’t have an account with your local community bank. Your money would be held by the government at the Federal Reserve.

    “Countless Americans were outraged over recent Democrat plans for the IRS to get their personal bank account information. Imagine their reaction to having the government actually take over their bank accounts.

    “Professor Omarova also has a proposal to control the money supply through these individual FedAccounts, including when necessary ‘implementing a contractionary monetary policy by debiting’ those accounts. For those of us who are not accountants, debiting means subtracting.

    “This, she allows, could be ‘perceived as the government taking away people’s money.’ I think I know why—because it is the government taking away people’s money.”

    And so it went throughout the hearing. The Democrats were left to huff and puff over the alleged smear campaign while Republicans simply read Omarova’s preposterous writings or video statements back to her. For further background on what Omarova has proposed in articles published in legal journals, read our report: Biden’s Nominee Omarova Has a Published Plan to Move All Bank Deposits to the Fed and Let the New York Fed Short Stocks.

    Faith that our leaders are looking out for our interest

    Since most people are not trained or have the time, or are too busy escaping the rising waters, to understand what experts write, then its normal to find someone that they have faith, that they can believe, that they are telling the whole truth.

    Fauci made sure to control the treatment guidelines for COVID that came out of the NIAID, advising against both chloroquine drugs and ivermectin.

    In an interview with CBC Radio-Canada, Dr. Theresa Tam said a vaccine for some of Canada’s youngest people could be a turning point in the fight against COVID-19.

    “Children do have a robust immune system and I expect that they will mount a good immune response to the vaccine as well,” she said

    “And for their parents as well, it’s sort of offering them some further hope.”

    In a major vaccine milestone, children aged five to 11 started to receive their first doses this week after Health Canada approved Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine for that age group. Meanwhile, that company is running clinical trials for those aged six months to just under five years.

    @ilargi I used to love reading the paper every morning, FT, Times, etc. I gave up on them because they went too woke/GlobalCap.

    When I discovered TAE, it became my new newspaper in the morning. I read about 80% of the articles posted by @ilargi and watched the clips.

    Calvin and Hobbes always bring a smile, along with the art posted at the start of each blog post.

    I should have posted yesterday: “I’m thankful for TAE and its community.”

    So thank your @ilargi for all of your hard work.

    “… if this signal is strong and if it’s correct then history will not be on their side, and the public will not forgive them for it.”

    Dr. Aseem Malhotra did a great job of tiptoeing around this explosive subject and I applaud his courage for speaking up. He mentions that a poor lifestyle due to the lockdowns may be a contributing factor in the recent scourge of heart attacks, but this can’t explain all the footballers collapsing on field in their prime. Notice how the telltale smile starts when Dr. Malhotra begins his comments on the possibility of lifestyle being the cause. He knows that this alternate hypothesis is just column fodder that needed to be added in order to soften the blow of his original claim.

    We all know what the problem is, but few are willing step forward to take the full wrath of Big Pharma. And in all likelihood, when the tide finally turns, and the general public begins to awaken from their media-induced psychosis, there will be hell to pay. The globalists will then have to return to the drawing board so as to craft a new plan to institute their digital ID system. Alas, more delays to global domination, and with the more wary public no less.

    Just because you’ve never heard of it, doesn’t mean it is suddenly a problem that you get to correlate to your delusions.

    https://www.sca-aware.org/about-sca

    Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It strikes people of all ages who may seem to be healthy, even children and teens. When SCA happens, the person collapses and doesn’t respond or breathe normally. They may gasp or shake as if having a seizure. SCA leads to death in minutes if the person does not get help right away. Survival depends on people nearby calling 911, starting CPR¹, and using an AED² (if available) as soon as possible.

    SCA is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Approximately 356,000 people of all ages experience EMS-assessed out-of-hospital non-traumatic SCA each year and nine out of 10 victims die. When bystanders intervene immediately by giving CPR, survival rates double or triple.

    Sudden cardiac arrest affects more than 1,000 adults and kids every day. Understanding the breadth and depth is crucial. Understanding what you can do to help someone who collapses due to an SCA is critical.

    Each year, SCA claims the lives of over 2,000 children and adolescents in the U.S. and accounts for approximately 3-5 percent of all deaths in children aged 5-19 years. It is also responsible for 10-15 percent of sudden unexpected infant deaths.

    Risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest
    Sudden cardiac arrest occurs more frequently in males than females, and, in children, most commonly occurs between 10-19 years of age. Still, it’s important to note that SCA may occur in children of all ages, even infants.

    Some other risk factors include:

    Athletic activity: Two-thirds of the deaths caused by SCA in children occur during exercise or activity. SCA is the leading cause of death in young athletes, accounting for 75 percent of all athlete-related deaths.
    Known congenital heart disease or structural heart abnormalities.
    Known abnormal heart rhythms associated with congenital heart disease. Most commonly, these include ventricular arrhythmias or atrial arrhythmias, especially the post-operative state or in the presence of a weakened heart.
    Known abnormal heart rhythms that are very rapid, even with a normal heart. For example, rapid ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response.
    Undiagnosed cardiac conditions, especially those known to be associated with sudden cardiac arrest.
    Obesity and hypertension.
    Exposure to drugs, medications, toxins and infectious agents, including cocaine, inhalants, recreational or club drugs, and some prescription medications.
    Sudden blow to the chest directly over the heart (commotio cordis).
    Family history of:
    Known heart abnormalities
    Sudden death before 50 years of age
    Conditions known to cause SCA, such as long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or other familial cardiomyopathies
    Unexplained fainting or seizures

    On Eugyp. Ignorant and Afraid.

    OK read, as he includes ‘class’, if only as a division between a privileged class and ‘ordinary folks,’ with the tops ‘pampered and sheltered’ or words to that effect.

    He makes the they are out of touch argument, with ‘common sense’ coming from below, or the ‘modern’ hive mind doing better. OK, alright 🙂 ..

    He doesn’t mention any groups such as the gulf between the Yellow Vests and Manu’s (Macron) buddies; the ‘Dem.’ remote workers apalled at the very existence of Deplorables, etc.

    Secondly, he points to ‘curated information’ and describes some or the reason to divert, play dumb, etc. on the part of Gvmt./ Establishment types.

    He ascribes the shoddiness of the ‘info’ to stupidity, incompetence, currying favor, bureaucratic inertia (off the cuff from my read) …all of which play a role for or sure!

    Imho, it is info. which has been tailored or fabricated to serve powerful ppl, Corps, groups.

    He goes off the rails (imho) in ascribing a personal motive of fear of the Corona, of suffering and possibly dying. Ex. quote:

    The prime minister of Austria is so afraid that he has confined all unvaccinated Austrians to their homes.

    If these heads of States were, for. ex, closing schools because of fear of contagion to them personally, they are nuts, and out of character re. their the Tops / plebs division. Moreover they get ‘best’ protection and treatment, cures. They have nothing to fear from school kiddies.

    Is this a German interpretative thing? That the leader’s personal ‘fears’ would dictate national policy directed to millions of ppl in regions distant from them?

    Personal fears are not invovled in this story imho.

    @”Deflationista”: Excerpted from the posted article about sudden cardiac death in children and the young: This points out that when this rare thing happens, it happens for specific reasons. It’s not normal. The reasons are sought through autopsy, family history, genetic and metabolic testing.
    Reasons matter…

    “The most common causes of SCA in children are:

    Structural cardiac abnormalities (congenital heart diseases and postoperative repairs, coronary artery anomalies, or Marfan syndrome)
    Abnormalities of the electrical system of the heart (also known as primary electrical diseases), such as long QT syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
    Abnormalities of the heart muscle structure or function, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), or dilated cardiomyopathies
    Acquired heart disease (inflammation or infection in the heart/myocarditis)
    Arrhythmias, including atrial flutter/atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), sinus node dysfunction, and complete heart block
    Atherosclerotic coronary disease
    Commotio cordis (caused by a blow to the chest)
    Drug-induced SCA”

    We are probably all in full understanding about what “agent provocateurs” are all about. I’ve noticed a trend in all the reporting of “Cases” in almost all countries. I’m beginning to wonder if there are “Virus agent provocateurs” quietly going about their business. The repeated spiking curves of illnesses in all the affected countries could be easily explained by the deliberate release of new viruses into the populations. It would only take a small handful of people to accomplish this, and, it would seem, to be just what the power brokers want. Anyone read the commandments of the Georgia Guide Stones?

    I agree that one needs to be careful and not ascribe a typical phenomena to the wrong source. The problem is that for sudden cardiac arrest (as well as Covid and Ivermectin) it seems we can’t get the whole story. The agencies we depend on for the research aren’t forth coming and don’t seem interested in collecting and disseminating information. Everything is obscured in the name of preventing vaccine hesitancy. Do we have an excess of sudden cardiac arrest among the young and healthy? I don’t know for sure but nothing you have written answers that question. Your info reminds me of climate change deniers saying “We’ve always had heat waves. Nothing new here.” The question is are we seeing more now.

    Indeed they do. People here seem to forget that.

    And while it is indeed rare, it affects enough people every year to be significant worldwide.

    To act like this is a new phenomenon is par for the course in places like this that weave a conspiracy and causation to any little passing thing. Anyone paying attention would know that sudden cardiac arrest is not some new thing. Many of these articles talking about the growing numbers of athletes collapsing include names of people who collapsed or died long before any vaccine rollout for covid 19. Many of the other people described did not even get the vaccine. Some had also contracted covid at some point in the past. But, people here like to overlook those realities. They overlook the reality that this has been “a thing” for longer than any covid outbreak. It is childish to suggest otherwise. I am not sure how a serious person can research and be aware of what sudden cardiac arrest is, and still insist that this is some new, rare side effect of the vaccine. And the way these stories spread through places like this and on social media is even more alarming. People love to have their biases confirmed. Just like a junkie loves their next fix. I am not sure what is more virulent at this point, covid or misinfo. The funniest part about this forum is that people here think that they never fall for misinfo. That they are the righteous ones. Fighting the Big Narrative. Fighting disinfo. The baloney detection skills in this place don’t even seem to exist anymore. Is that my fault too?
