    COVID VAXX! My sister-in-law died suddenly (myocarditius); she was in the military and was very healthy. She had 6 booster shots altogether, she got each booster when it was announced



  2. @Outwest483 on June 26, 2024 at 5:26 pm

    Safe and effective they said



  3. @LaurenAtTenn on June 26, 2024 at 5:27 pm

    Covid



  4. @bluefire10169 on June 26, 2024 at 5:27 pm

    Well work 64-80 hrs a week with no time to get in shape and healthy food are expensive due to inflation…



  5. @AndroidSpirit on June 26, 2024 at 5:28 pm

    ADHD meds, more emotional grief from an uptick in narcissistic people, and more substance abuse – end of story.



  6. @bladebrowntv7822 on June 26, 2024 at 5:29 pm

    After the shot, this has spiked , point blank period



  7. @BadaLogic on June 26, 2024 at 5:31 pm

    I wonder if he’s vaccinated

    "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:3-4



  11. @justingarretson2054 on June 26, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    Maybe it was that one thing that you couldn’t say might be a thing that they made everyone get but now they say they didn’t



  12. @steves5982 on June 26, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    Covid



  13. @Josh_Alzamora on June 26, 2024 at 5:38 pm

    Seed oils plain and simple. All the preservatives in the food the FDA needs to be held accountable



  14. @peteman8160 on June 26, 2024 at 5:39 pm

    It’s one of the greatest mysteries of our time.



  15. @djdanzy on June 26, 2024 at 5:41 pm

    Safe and effective



  16. @Giames on June 26, 2024 at 5:42 pm

    It’s the Jibber Jabber. Duh



  17. @ilzium8210 on June 26, 2024 at 5:42 pm

    2 things the poison food everywhere and the covid vaccine



  18. @user-mu9tq1up8u on June 26, 2024 at 5:43 pm

    Too many covid boosters.



  19. @alihakimi1707 on June 26, 2024 at 5:43 pm

    Ask Bill Gates



  20. @trtony-xe4cl on June 26, 2024 at 5:44 pm

    Whole grains full of glyphosate,?????



  21. @SteveVi0lence on June 26, 2024 at 5:46 pm

    "safe and effective"



  22. @Mike-zr9xg on June 26, 2024 at 5:46 pm

    Meat is healthy for heart health



  23. @Sictransit701 on June 26, 2024 at 5:47 pm

    “Doctors mystified.” Of course they are. You think they would admit they were wrong?



  24. @ninamares1309 on June 26, 2024 at 5:49 pm

    Can water that contains lime and minerals cause buildup to occur in areas of the body or to the arterial walls over time for instance?



  25. @Ryu_Shotokan on June 26, 2024 at 5:50 pm

    Stress



  26. @aclaylambisabirdman6324 on June 26, 2024 at 5:51 pm

    The Vaccine and or diet.



  27. @TheRasta4ri on June 26, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Food you are eating cheating your body of nutrients stripping them from your body



  28. @autumnislovely on June 26, 2024 at 5:52 pm

    Personally, I think it’s stress. I didn’t realize I was burnt out until I started crying in bed about not wanting to work the next day. My cholesterol was already elevated by that point. I mostly cooked at home and I only ate fast food once a week at most!



  29. @steves5982 on June 26, 2024 at 5:56 pm

    So the doctor implies this guy was a fat drug user



  30. @roselove001 on June 26, 2024 at 5:57 pm

    Energy drinks. Multiple energy drinks and adderal.



  31. @3jimp on June 26, 2024 at 5:57 pm

    You already know what’s causing it and so do we y’all too afraid to say it?



  32. @eneveasi on June 26, 2024 at 6:03 pm

    Not a single one of those possibilities why it is happening to athletes in such higher numbers than seen before. This increase has all occurred since the pandemic and the vaccines.

    It is unscientific to be excluding how our interventions may have led to excess deaths simply because we don’t want to ask the questions or because of “trust the science”. Science requires open investigation of all possibilities and that has certainly not been done.



  33. @flipschicago on June 26, 2024 at 6:03 pm

    Jabby Jab Vaxx



  34. @2012BeyondtheWorld on June 26, 2024 at 6:04 pm

    Genetics. You don’t have to exercise so intensely and think everything will be fine.



  35. @mathew3267 on June 26, 2024 at 6:05 pm

    Too many red bulls.



  36. @TrolleyTroubles10527 on June 26, 2024 at 6:06 pm

    Covid vaccine



  37. @cooliipie on June 26, 2024 at 6:06 pm

    Vax



  38. @lovemine7 on June 26, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    Because Biden is still in office



  39. @lookingforwyatteearp3137 on June 26, 2024 at 6:10 pm

    It’s the Covid Vacine.



  40. @Gooeybrowniebaby on June 26, 2024 at 6:13 pm

    For your information, the rise in the trend started wayyyy before Covid. It’s been on-going for at least nearly a decade, not just the past 3 years. In fact, from my observation, it’s mostly the sporty type that seem to have this sort of surprise attack most.



  41. @LordMondegrene on June 26, 2024 at 6:14 pm

    Covid -19 can damage almost any organ in the body. Lungs, heart, kidneys, brain… it will shorten lifespans worldwide.



  42. @doctordirtlakehavasucity4222 on June 26, 2024 at 6:14 pm

    Ask them if they took the Covid vaccine



  43. @45DegreeDiscovery on June 26, 2024 at 6:19 pm

    The vahxes have technology inside of them.



  44. @benvalentino3662 on June 26, 2024 at 6:19 pm

    The vaxx



  45. @albete116 on June 26, 2024 at 6:21 pm

    Stop the lies.
