| I'm not sure what information Matt Le Tissier thinks people are hiding about footballers collapsing but if you are suggesting that it is something to do with Covid vaccines he is wrong. I was actually present myself at an amateur sporting fixture back in the nineties when a player had a cardiac event. Sadly, this sort of thing has always happened and incidents are nearly always down to pre-existing conditions. Leading experts in sports cardiology, including the American College of Sports Medicine and the British Journal of Sports Medicine, have analysed the available data and said that there is absolutely no evidence of a link between COVID-19 vaccines and an increase in athlete deaths or cardiac issues. Studies analyzing data from various sources, including athlete registries and news reports, haven't shown any increase in sudden cardiac death (SCD) among athletes after vaccination compared to pre-pandemic levels. Jumping up and down every time a person dies prematurely and going 'Ah vaccines!' is just ghoulish. On the rather laughable claim that Boris Johnson scuppered a peace deal soon after the Russian invasion all I can say is that it stinks of the Russian and Iranian notion of Britain as the Little Satan, not a great power any more but using its malign influence to make America do things it wouldn't otherwise have done. While it is certainly true Johnson leapt on invasion as his chance to play the poundshop Churchill and saw it as a great opportunity to distract from his domestic catastophies, he had zero influence on the chain of events other than the quick supply of British hand held anti-tank weapons maybe helped the Ukrainians resist the advance on Kyiv. Any 'peace' deal that was on the table then is the same as the ones currently being offered by the Russians which amounts to 'give us some of your land and we will stop killing you.' This isn't a 'peace' that the Ukrainians are willing to consider now after two years of appalling losses and grinding conflict, so they never would have considered it then. As a post script on Johnson, although he must be given credit for his support to Ukraine in the very early days of the conflict, that it was motivated by self-interest only is shown by his subsequent actions. He never really cared about Ukraine and his false fleeting nature is demonstrated by his endorsement of Trump. He can only have done that because it maximises the revenue he gets from after dinner speaking. |
