COVID vaccinations are secure and efficient, no downside mon. Or so we’ve been instructed advert nauseum by authorities officers and media lemmings. The NFL has been urged by the Well being Freedom Protection Fund (HFDF) to droop vaccination mandates and to display for coronary heart points over severe vaccine unintended effects. Screening is urgently wanted, the Fund mentioned in a letter to the NFL, as a result of vaccines could cause myocarditis, particularly amongst younger males. 

HFDF is a nonprofit in search of to rectify well being injustices by advocating for freedom, selection and bodily autonomy. The Fund’s letter to the Nationwide Soccer League Gamers Assocation cited eight research on the subject material and the U.S. Meals and Drug Administration’s warning labels on Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that the medicine include the danger of pericarditis. 

Throughout earlier seasons, the NFL closely pressured all gamers to be vaccinated. These few who refused turned pariahs. Leslie Manookian, president and founding father of the HFDF, instructed the gamers union head, DeMaurice Smith, “Security alerts illustrate that the close to and long-term well being outcomes of the COVID-19 vaccines stay unsure.” 

Noting Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest in a Jan. 2 NFL recreation, Manookian wrote: 

“A large number of hostile reactions to those injections, together with myocarditis, are large ranging and confirmed, and as such, prudence dictates that the NFLPA examine the extent to which the COVID-19 pictures could have resulted in damage, compromised well being or demise of gamers.” 

Buffalo Payments security Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the sphere final month. Ex-NFL gamers additionally suffered coronary heart assaults and strokes following vaccinations, Manookian acknowledged. She beneficial the NFL institute “a testing and screening program to find out whether or not gamers have been adversely affected by the injections and to develop a set of practical medical protocols and coverings with a view to tackle and heal any deleterious results of the vaccines.” 

Along with the U.S. FDA warning label on vaccines, Manookian cited a Florida examine detecting an improve in cardiac-related deaths among the many vaccinated. That examine additionally reported an elevated danger of myocarditis and myopericarditis after the second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine and the primary and second doses of Moderna’s vaccine. Once more, younger males skilled the best danger. 

A examine of almost 1,600 school athletes who underwent complete cardiovascular testing elevated the prevalence of medical and subclinical myocarditis by an element of seven.4 occasions, to 2.3 p.c. This was revealed within the Journal of the American Medical Affiliation. 

Manookian instructed the NFLPA, “Now we have a rising physique of scientific proof displaying that there’s a danger to younger males particularly, and plenty of of them have some important cardiac issues.” 

One can nearly hear the screeching lefties on tv condemning this letter that flies within the face of their nonstop “secure and efficient” marketing campaign. Nonetheless, Dr. Anish Koka, a Philadelphia heart specialist, mentioned it’s not “unreasonable for the NFL Gamers Affiliation to no less than contemplate the truth that younger wholesome males now are such low danger of COVID, do you wish to take the danger of myocarditis associated to the vaccine?” 

Dr. Koka is skeptical about screening all of the NFL gamers as a result of it might have an effect on the free agent market. This argument is skinny, nevertheless, as a result of virtually all NFL gamers have been vaccinated, free brokers included. 

Manookian recommends voluntary screening, saying, “That is about elevating consciousness a couple of potential well being downside and offering the chance for the gamers to have entry to testing and screening. And if an issue is set, then some type of therapeutic protocol for them.” 

The HFDF suggestion deserves a response from and sincere consideration by the NFLPA. It shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand by shrill media lapdogs for the federal government’s “secure and efficient” mantra.
