It was really only "The Decision" that irked me. LeBron can sound preachy, but who can't? Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Bronny. It was having a Jussie Smollett event that the media conveniently never pursued and bending the knee to Chinese dictators, among other things, that irked me. Valid irks.

About the same age as Bronny James. Hope she’s okay.

Hopes & prayers to all. Those of us who are parents understand the nightmare. We all want our children, grands & great grands to survive, outlive us & live to a full old age.

The Sky News account looks to be more accurate. She was taken to the hospital, apparently as a precaution. The rest of training that day was cancelled, so she didn't get back on her feet and resume training. She also was apparently quickly released from the hospital, and as the hospital is in Sydney, I very much doubt that she would be released so soon if it was a significant cardiac event.

Christian Eriksen of the Denmark Men's team had to be brought back to life during the Euro 2021 in a horrible scene during a game in that tournament.

How does a 15 year old get ovarian cancer? That is extremely rare.

How does a 15 year old get ovarian cancer? That is extremely rare. You haven't been watching Marlo Thomas on the St. Jude's Hospital commercials. Childhood cancer is rare but real. Think of the kid in the old Jimmy Fund Billboard at Fenway Park saying "I can dream can't I?"

One of my sons works with ALSACE in Memphis. It is the fundraising tool for the hospital and families. A city filled with history and commitment to others.

Yeah, but caused by a vaccine, right?

vaccine injury and congenital abnormality are not mutually exclusive.
while james' issue may indeed have had nothing to do with a vaccine or any other exposure, and i hope that is the case as spike protein continues to be generated long after mRNA vaccines, having a congenital condition does not mean that the vaccine didn't contribute to the event.
note that this is a probable cause and myocarditis, pericarditis, and a host of other potential issues (many having nothing to do with vaccines) were not ruled out.
i know it seems you have to pick a side in this, but human health is just not that simple. most genetic predispositions, congenital abnormalities, and other risk factors require some sort of trigger (typically deemed "epigenetic") to cause a health event. vigorous activity (i.e. playing basketball) may have been that trigger for james. or it could have been something else. for many, the systemic inflammation and stress to many organ systems incurred by obesity is the epigenetic trigger. for others, abuse of stimulants or other drugs/medications. again, these types of things are complex... which is why we do surveillance for years (as flawed as it is and biased towards the null) to monitor events related to medical therapies.
we are still in the very, very early innings of knowing the long-term effects of the most widely implemented and rushed public health campaign in human history.

Completely agree. We are in the early stages of understanding the benefit- risk of mRNA technology. While many biopharma companies and academic researchers are building platforms for the science, especially for treating cancers, imho it will be years before we fully understand the safety profile of the science.

While many biopharma companies and academic researchers are building platforms for the science, especially for treating cancers, imho it will be years before we fully understand the safety profile of the science. indeed. what's especially concerning is that governments worldwide have already bet the house on mRNA technology despite the many unknowns. as usual, financial conflicts of interest lace these decisions. moderna paid our nih $400 million, for instance. not to mention the billions of $ that fund the regulatory agencies (read: fox guarding the henhouse) and the revolving door between leadership at regulatory agencies and pharma leadership positions. across the pond, the uk has already invested 1 billion pounds in a Moderna facility to make mRNA vaccines. as a result of this investment, rest assured governments will be pushing for all types of new uses. let's pray to God that these mRNA products are safe in the long-term for otherwise healthy people as we have no evidence to suggest that they are (how could we?) and the vaers and vsafe (conveniently stopped by CDC) have already revealed some serious concerns. (a brief, accessible, and dry humor dive into some of these issues with dr. john campbell here: )

Dr. Dadominate once again providing highly educated and 'informed' analysis.
As much as many across the entire spectrum might like to paint this topic as an either/or or pro/anti topic, there are far more angles to it. I particularly appreciate increased transparency that exposes the myriad conflicts of interest so we can pursue truth and real public health not the sort that prioritizes the financial and other related interests of selected entities. I might also recommend maintaining a healthy database so we can properly file truths, lies, and assorted other statements and positions.
Never forget, first, last and always, FOLLOW THE MONEY, especially when funds from private sources are directed toward public officials, whether legal or otherwise. Not that public funds directed toward private entities are not also worth serious review.
Thank you once again, Dr. Dadominate.
Navigate accordingly.

I'm sorry, but I need to point out that the analysis presented by dadominate is not "highly educated and informed". Dado is saying that the doctors and medical team who exhaustively studied Bronny James, and diagnosed him with congenital heart disease, and linked it as the cause of his cardiac arrest episode, did not consider the fact that something else might be going on. Of course they did. That is what they do every day. This is their field. Saying "two things are not mutually exclusive" is not the same thing as saying vaccines played any role. I have still not seen anyone report whether or not he even had received the vaccine. Fear uncertainty and doubt are not facts. This is a biased political agenda pure and simple.
As for the "expert" that dadominate presents in the video, it is laughable. "Dr." John Campbell is a nurse, trained many years ago. He has an advanced degree in nursing. He is not in even the slightest way an expert on medicine, cardiology, epidemiology or infectious disease. If you want to follow the money, as td128 urges us to do, I suggest you try and figure out how much money he makes from his YouTube channel, where he pedals his nonsense. Over 2.6 million views and counting.

Chu, while I agree with you on how physicians, especially diagnosticians, look at the widest number of possibilities (which gives their conclusions greater value), I am afraid you appear to dismiss the medical knowledge of nurses rather too quickly.

I'm truly sorry if I gave that impression. I respect and appreciate nurses. I am surrounded by them and married to a nurse. The point I was trying to make is, that by prominently emphasizing the "Dr" before his name in his YouTube channel and other venues, without explanation, that he is misrepresenting his expertise and himself.

That is more like what I would expect. Thank you for the clarifcation. Folks need to remember that "doctor" does not always mean a medical doctor. With my doctorate in psychology, I used to run into that, at times, with nurses at Columbia Presbyterian.
