My Take…

It’s becoming harder and harder to keep up with reporting the endless sudden deaths.

When a prominent fitness influencer like Brazilian Larissa Borges dies suddenly (of double cardiac arrest), the news overshadows and pushes out all other similar recent deaths.

There has been a recent cluster of these deaths of “fitness enthusiasts”.

In this article I focused on regular people who were not professional athletes.

These were people who were personal trainers, fitness instructors, fitness enthusiasts, crossfit practitioners, brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners and regular gym goers.

As always, the causes of death are typical for COVID-19 vaccine injury – vast majority are cardiac arrests, and then the occasional “died in sleep”, blood clots or brain injury.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is not just dangerous for professional athletes but is extremely dangerous for anyone who is a fitness enthusiast.

Doctors did not disclose these risks of sudden death after COVID-19 vaccination to their patients and that a person who is deeply involved in fitness, has a much higher risk of sudden death.

In my opinion, COVID-19 vaccinated individuals should not engage in any strenuous physical activity until they have an extensive cardiac work-up and are cleared by a team of specialists.
