The collapse of Damar Hamlin, Buffalo Bills Safety, after a tackle, has been described as a “heart attack,” but the reader should be warned that medical events are sometimes not described properly.
What everybody who was watching the game witnessed on Monday was Mr. Hamlin taking what looked like an ordinary hit to the chest. He and the other player both hit the ground, they both stood up, and then Hamlin collapsed in an instant. He received at least nine minutes of CPR on the field before an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital, where he is still in critical condition.

Not much in this article. People take hits like this every Saturday and have for years.
How many times did this happen in the last decade? Crickets.

I have one question: Did Damar Hamlin receive Covid "vaccine" or boosters?

In response to the skeptical, it is not just ‘a blow to the chest’ that can cause this, it is a blow to the chest in the right spot over the heart at exactly the right point in the electrical activity of the heart that causes commotio cardis. It is rare precisely because of the close coupling of the events required, but not as rare as one might suppose. As a member of the medical community, when I saw this happen commotio cardis was my first thought, and Covid vaccination second.

#4, Thanks for the constructive clarity. My dad witnessed this happen to another child in his youth who went to block a kick and took the kick to his chest.
Just because the phenonium exists independent of COVID and the vaccine doesn't mean the vaccine didn't play a role.

#4, if this remains the only case I will go with your first thought. If not number two becomes undeniable.

Haven't there been incidents where this has happened to baseball pitchers who get hit in the chest with a line drive straight to the chest?
But like others here, my first thought was wondering if it was caused because he got the jab. Anyway, I hope for a speedy recovery, he's young and fit so the chances are in his favor.

Whatever happened to Hamlin, it wasn't just a heart attack. Something like this has happened a number of times over the last couple of decades. Mostly to high school athletes. I've seen video of it happening in football and lacrosse. Both when hit hard in the chest by a tackle or a when a lacrosse ball hits someone directly in the chest. As stated several times last night on a couple of programs by cardiologists, it's highly unusual for something like this to happen to someone over the age of 20. It's almost exclusively a high school issue because as one doctor pointed out, the breastbone covering the heart is not fully developed yet in teenagers.

We keep hearing about those that died. But there are a lot more of us who have been made perpetually sick with no relief. The doctors are too scared to even acknowledge it or offer any relief. The side effects are weird symptoms(often neurological and cardiological) that don't fit any other disease.

The author of this report suggests that the link between myocarditis and commotio cordis needs to be investigated. It's the first serious thought I've read since the incident.
#9 Did you read the Gateway Pundit link you posted (thanks, BTW)? The "doctor" tweeting is likely a bot, or fraud, or unethical, or all three. His tweets and accounts have been taken down.

Dr. Dunn’s article gives us info we have been given by others. Unfortunately his article is based upon an incorrect premise. Nowhere did I see or hear Hamlin’s issue referred to as a “heart attack”. From the very first the term used was “cardiac arrest”. That is essentially what happened.
