Large numbers of prominent athletes continue to die unexpectedly or suffer anomalous medical emergencies since the mRNA gene therapies were rolled out.
Across the NFL, NHL, NCAA football, professional rugby, women's basketball, and international hockey, athletes ranging in age from just 18 to 56 have suffered major medical events, including pulmonary emboli, cardiac arrest, an aortic dissection, an emergency heart transplant, and several deaths.
In just the first 21 days of OCTOBER 2026, at least 10 cases have made headlines:
Jalen Hurts, 28 (NFL, Philadelphia Eagles) — Diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in BOTH lungs.
Allen Bailey, 37 (Former NFL, Chiefs/Falcons) — Found DEAD at his home. Cause of death remains undisclosed.
Ben Kindel, 19 (NHL, Pittsburgh Penguins) — Suffered a medical emergency aboard the team’s flight, forcing the plane to turn around. Hospitalized; diagnosis undisclosed.
Kasey Redfern, 35 (Former NFL, Lions/Falcons) — DIED following a battle with central nervous system lymphoma.
DJ Jones, 18 (NCAA Football, Missouri Tigers) — Underwent a HEART TRANSPLANT after a serious cardiac condition was discovered.
Heidi Burge Horton, 54 (Former WNBA, LA Sparks/Washington Mystics) — DIED from aggressive brain cancer (glioblastoma).
Hyron Andrews, 31 (Professional Rugby, Johannesburg Lions) — Found DEAD in a hotel shower. Autopsy confirmed a fatal aortic dissection.

Jack Davies, 24 (Welsh Rugby, RGC/Caernarfon) — DIED unexpectedly. Cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.

There is only one question that should be asked right now that the mainstream Medical and media community will not touch. And that question is: have they been COVID-19 vaccinated? And how many shots have they gotten? Then, if they claim to be doing real science, they can then rule out the COVID-19 shot if one of them hasn’t taken it. But they won’t. They won’t even ask the question and they will automatically rule it out when anyone asks because they don’t do real science. They do scientism. Let’s see who has the balls and the ethics to step up and ask the tough questions.
I’m PISSED THEY ARE STILL PUSHING THE DEATH JAB ON TV IN PHARMACIES HOW STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL GETTING THEM INSTEAD OF STRINGING THEM UP BY THEIR TOES TILL THEY AGREE TO STOP KILLING PEOPLE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP IS SICKENING
