    Wrong. You're vaccinated and you're scared.

    Lol...

    you're just not very smart, and that's ok. Again, leave me out of it, and leave me away from you.

    I'll say I'm scared, but not b/c of any vaccination. I'm scared of the new Dark Ages our country is ready to embrace. I'm scared that the internet has broken us, and basically deputized any tom, dick, or harriet to toss away the idea of study and actual expertise on a slew of important technical topics. Good luck everyone.

    Who cares? Did he have a red bull before he went to the gym? Did he watch internet p*rn? Have a double capucino?
    Have a previous case of COVID that weakened his heart? (That last one is, hint hint, the most probable useful correlation, just based on the accumulated worldwide data, but even there, who cares and none of us can ever really know.)

    Maybe the last thing we should do is speculate on the cause of this one event with one person, especially when young athletes have had rare events like this for decades if not centuries. And the medical truth is that we'll never know. Believe me on this please. Tons of factors influence our bodies in a statistical morass. You can't even pin one person's cancer on one single cause, even if they smoke. They had a bunch of statistical factors, and maybe they loaded their dice with bad decisions, but they rolled snake eyes. It's that simple and, sadly, that unsatisfying.

    I hate to interject myself but I respect you Bob and think conversation with you is nice to have versus others where it is...pointless. The counterpoint would be it would be nice if everyone could legitimately trust big pharma, big corp, big govt, big etc. They've continually shown themselves to be liars, very heavily self interested and willing to simply pay a fine as the cost of doing business when found to be purposefully committing criminal and amoral behavior. The bottom line is there was a lot of heavy handed lying and less than informed attacks that happened during covid. All of that has been quietly washed away as if it never happened by the people who levied those attacks. The people who were subjected to the consequences for not going along with all the covid protocols (for valid or questionable reasons) or simply questioning them and such are left with some reasonable anger.

    Granted I hate the anti vax bros who start frothing at the mouth and jizzing all over their keyboard when they see any possible example of a random event to blame the vaccine rather than covid or any other possible underlying issue other than the vaccine and then conveniently crawl back in a hole when they are shown that there is nothing vaccine related that could have caused the issue....how's that for a run on sentence?

    I share your frustration with the anti-vax bros (that's the nice word I can use :D). That said me being somewhere in the middle of all this or at least flexible on my point of view always finds it frustrating to state an opinion. I'll get lumped into either crowd based on my lack of vitriol towards either dug in group. On the MMA board I get on I'm regarded as a vax lover who took 15 boosters and on here I'm probably regarded as closer to an anti vaxxer from the covid thread which I had to tap out on.

    Who knows if I stated all that perfectly and please don't rip me if I didn't nail the landing lol, but that's my two cents. Back to my last glass of wine and hopefully no more neck pain and nerve irritation tomorrow.


    And lastly for all of the people frothing with excitement over Bronny having cardiac arrest. Maybe have some sympathy for the kid and wait before you start using him as a talking point. Pretty shitty behavior.

    I think the internet growing more and more neurotic given the allure of instant AND easily gratifying information. It's mostly about sauces from expert and "being responsible" when verifying the sauces with fax checks...

    Study and expertise <<< hot takes n hot cakes

    We need to figure out new ways to revitalize public service and civic duty or this will indeed go downhill faster than people will realize and react.

    No, that would just be antagonistic. He said he used it for himself but it's up to the individual whether they want to take it. That's neutral.

    Anti-vax would be saying anyone who uses it is stupid and feed you ten thousand reasons why, many invalid but with a healthy dose of governmental doubting. I personally know people who took the vaccine and developed health problems directly linked to it.

    By the same token, those that are pro-vax, not only take it religiously, they blame others for not taking it and saying they're irresponsible towards their family, and co-workers and they put a guilt trip on them. They have a point as I also know people who almost died, or did die, that is directly connected to Covid.

    Once again, although he likely vaxxed, LeBron was as neutral as possible, and realistically as should be. Too many people think they absolutely know what's right as is and are quite willing to tell the other side what they think.

    Do your sources know if and when Bronny was vaccinated?

    You are just using Bronny as an opportunity to justify your feelings. You don't know any facts or underlying circumstances yet you are boastfully jumping face first and proclaiming this to be related to something that you have no knowledge about. Are you going to make a post saying you were wrong and apologizing if the facts turn out to be different from what you are supposing them to be? No you won't.

    If you can't see the increase in heart problems, blood clots and strokes with perfectly healthy young people since the vaccine, then Lord help you.

    I'd be funny if humans fought each other to extinction, leaving the AIs b****ing against each other about vaccination.

    Thanks bro. Couldn't possibly be from a spectacularly contagious virus that spread from "unknown" origins which is known to cause heart issues....

    But the vaccine increases the spike protein far more than the virus. Do some research, fool.

    Really shocking to hear this , it is not common at all but when it happens to an athlete we hear about it. Bronny and Shareef O'Neal are super close, for them both to have serious heart issues is unsettling.

    I'll just passively wait for the $cience to tell me what to think. I mean, big Pharma has never lied before . . .
