The AFL season downunder is gonna be fucking wild. If we make it past pre-season, that is

Thanks, Winston

2020: Lots of virus, no vaxx, nothing medically untoward happening on the sports fields of the world.

2021: Lots of virus (ever milder and less lethal variants), loads of vaxx, and plenty of something medically pronounced happening on those same sports fields.

Must be ‘post-pandemic stress disorder’, I suppose, because only a ‘misinformation-spreading, Covid-denying, anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist’ would say that the vaxx has anything to do with extremely fit, elite athletes keeling over clutching their chests.

From Australia, to Jake Lever (Melbourne Demons, premiership-winning defender in the Australian Football League) who fainted and needed 20 minutes of medical attention in pre-season training), we can add the (as yet unnamed) Covid-jabbed Adelaide Crows footballer admitted to hospital with pericarditis.

The apologists are already on the job – the Jake Lever incident has been dismissed as ‘pushing himself to the limit during a running session in hot and humid conditions’ [it was only 28 degrees Celsius, for goodness sake, and these are super-fit athletes who run an average 14 kilometres during a game at an average pace of 10km/h, interspersed with a cumulative total of around five minutes of top sprint bursts of around 18km/h – they do not wilt at a bit of exertion in the 'heat'].

A club spokesman said Lever had simply "gone too hard too early". Yeah, right. Perhaps the club officials are embarrassed that they complied with the footy league’s vaccine mandate, possibly because they believe in Holy Vaxx, and are now regretting compromising the health of their prime human assets who are now exposed to vaxx-induced heart disorders.

The clubs with non-Covid-demented medical staff, who just secretly squirt the gunk down the sink, and inject a harmless saline placebo in its place, are going to clean up on the competition silverware now.

Thanks. I have virated the link.

I wonder about SIDS now - as I've not read about medical matters until rowuhan was here.
