Point of locking down the young and "healthy" (I've purposefully used the "" because it's killed people you wouldn't expect it to) was because while they were unlikely to get very sick from it, they were most definitely able to transfer it to others. And as people with underlying issues were already staying home trying to avoid it, their younger, healthier relatives were the ones still going around spreading it and/or bringing it home. Lockdowns were a necessary evil at the time.
You're not aware on how isolation or quarantining work properly right? The older or more vulnerable are the ones who stay home or go to an area where they can be isolated from the youngesters. But this COVID went arse about and decided to lockdown everyone, as this does seem to be the society we are in now.
Also they weren't a necessary evil, they achieved nothing and even now with countries locking down again, it's going to achieve very little. Virus is going to mutate again and we just rinse and repeat.
We need to accept this virus isn't going anywhere.

Spanish Flu is still with us today in a much mutated form, it has just become far less deadly, it never truly wrapped up and it could still cause a new pandemic all on its own.

There are several influenza varieties that are potentially very dangerous.

Is it just mass hysteria, fear or caution. Because they either trying to be proactive or the fear and danger of the strain is real.
I think they may really hope that they can keep it out. That's pretty unlikely and certainly not a model for the future, because unless something miraculous happens the virus is not going to die out and that means living with it. Any alleged danger of the strain appears to be pure conjecture.

The lockdown didn't work because not everyone was locked down. Kids still went to school, as an example. Schools are a petri dish for viruses and diseases, this is a fact. While they may not affect the children, they tend to affect their parents and grandparents. Everyone had ONE job, and they failed miserably. By the time level 4 was being enforced in the UK, it was already too late.

And agreed, this is going to stick around for a long while still. The world will never go back to "normal" now.

Not in SA, kids didn't go to school, in fact most kids only really started going back this year, 2020 was like a waste. When they did go back to school they were stricter on their controls then most people.

Please do not attack the source as it is genuine. Let's focus on the content..

Yet another professional footballer collapsed suddenly in the middle of a game last night during Real Madrid’s Champions League tie with Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.
26-year-old Sherrif Tiraspol winger Adama Traore was seen clutching his chest as he slumped to the ground in the 77th minute. The Mali attacker remained down as medics rushed on the pitch to help, initially trying to revive him with smelling salts to little success. Traore’s collapse occurred the night after another player, Sheffield United’s John Fleck, similarly went down during a match against Reading.
As we previously reported, major German newspaper Berliner Zeitung recently published a report seeking to answer why an “unusually large number of professional and amateur soccer players have collapsed recently.”

The article listed a large number of recent cases of footballers who have had heart problems or collapsed on the field, in some cases leading to death

Other professional athletes have also recently suffered similar health problems, including 24-year-old Slovak hockey player Boris Sádecký, who tragically died after collapsing on the ice during a match last month.

According to a report by Dr. Yaffa Shir-Raz, there has been a “5-fold increase in sudden cardiac deaths of FIFA players in 2021.”

The causes:

  • In most cases, it has been reported that the cause of the collapse is heart-related, including myocarditis, pericarditis, heart attacks, or cardiac arrest.
  • The second cause reported is clotting events.
Another side effect of Covid 19? or of the dare I say it --- the mRNA vaccines?

Players had been dropping dead on the field with heart issues long before COVID was ever a thing. There's even a rule in place here in the UK for school rugby where the players have to be tested because of the number of cases where fit teenagers have suddenly collapsed on the field or died because of heart issues. Again, not related to COVID.

Nothing new hey? So, you are happy with this spike in cases?

Can't read Hebrew, mind translating?
According to Wikipedia, under "List of association footballers who died while playing", in 2001-2020 there was an average of 4.2 deaths per year attributed to SCD or SUD, the vast majority being SCD. In contrast, in 2021, according to our list, there were 21 cases of SCD/SUD among FIFA players. In other words, instead of 4 SCD/SUD deaths per year (according to Wikipedia data), or 5 cases per year (calculated according to the BMJ) during 2001-2020, 21 players have died so far this year.

That is, about 5 times more than the annual average!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FEQOHZ8XsAUi3Ba.jpg
This figure is found to be statistically significant. In fact, there is no other year since 2001 where the difference between the number of observed cases of SCD/SUD and the expected number is statistically significant.In 2021 it is highly statistically significant and only likely to happen by chance about 2 in 1,000 times.

Yaffa’s notes:


Edit: @Geoff.D - just like VAERS - inconsequential or just made up..

Most cited examples i've seen sofar from the "alternative news" were unvaccinated due to either a) vaccines weren't available even when the actual photos/video came out or b) unavailable to them due to country/age group rollouts c) had covid previously,and it kinda has lasting effects on many people
More likely this is another FUD from the vacci-thumpers reading zerofacts but hey,sure "vaccine" issues since it "neeeeeever happened before" - except it did

It does happen (just like anything else), but not in these numbers. Can you direct me to any links relating to these "droppings" in Premiership League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Seria A etc professional players from before?

Two Thirds’ of Professional Football Players Are Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19​

"The conspiracy theories have really taken hold in some dressing rooms," said an inside source. "Some of the stuff they’re reading — and believing — on the internet is incredible.

But yeah, totes the vax fault guys!!!@@@!!

Not to mention these are only the cases that have been sequenced. We are always going to be behind, when you detect something it means it has already been circulating a while.


And that guy was nowhere near SA. He came from Egypt with a transit stop in Turkey.

Plenty for the developers of the vaccines to answer for and tell us what is going on.

The list of so-called side effects is growing longer and longer, with the frequency amongst certain specific groups of society way beyond insignificant. Long overdue that either the outcomes are explained or accounted for.

Recently the most famous players were Aguero (cardiac arrhythmia) and Erikson (cardiac arrest). Still seems to be unconfirmed what was wrong with Traore, but I'll add him, too.

But there were other notable professionals before them (and COVID): Foe, Casillas, Feher, Puerta, Boban, Jarque, Astori, Muamba, Irianto, Tiote - all either collapsed during a televised match, during training or before or after a match. But all with heart-related issues. This most definitely is not a new thing.

And those are just professionals. The most at-risk group for sudden cardiac death is 16- to 18-year olds. Their hearts aren't developing issues overnight, or a couple of days after a COVID shot. They've all had underlying issues for years.

Car accident death? Must have been the vaccine
Skydiving accident? Must have been the vaccine
Choked from an apple? Must have been the vaccine
Beesting anaphylaxis? Must have been the vaccine
Drowning? Must have been the vaccine
