With all of the conspiracy theories swirling around Bronny James' cardiac arrest, I think it's unfortunate that people are using this event to try and push ideas of myocarditis that are not proven by any reliable study. Facts are as follows: - Dozens of college athletes every year suffer from cardiac incidents, with several dying every year. - Men's college basketball players are the most at risk, and black men are even more at risk. - There is absolutely no indication that Bronny suffered from myocarditis. - Studies have shown that people who contracted COVID-19 were found to be at risk of developing Myocarditis 11 times more than than those who did not. Those who had received the vaccine were less likely in this study to develop myocarditis. - Yes, myocarditis is a very rare possible side effect of COVID vaccines, but the virus itself has been shown to cause the heart problem even more often. - Just like when you get a Flu vaccine, you sometimes get symptoms of the flu, the same can be true with the COVID vaccine, as it tricks your body into thinking you have the virus, thus causing inflammatory responses intended to fight it off. - Anecdotes and non-controlled, non peer-reviewed studies are not proof of anything.
