Day 664: Soccer Kills

Israeli journalist Yaffa Shir-Raz attempts to quantify sudden soccer death syndrome the massive increase in players falling over on the field from cardiac events—all without mentioning the vaccines. Stephen Connolly collects and discusses her tweets about it here. She counts 183 "professional athletes and coaches" collapsing on or near the field in the past year, out of whom 108 died. For the sake of statistics, she counts up the recent deaths in FIFA specifically (21) compared to an annual rate of 4.2 over the past two decades, and finds that statistically signifcant.
