Damar Hamlin Collapse: Only One Other NFL Player had Cardiac Arrest During a Game

I know I said the site was going to be better in 2023. It was a lot better yesterday, and that is going to be the norm for at least half of days. Either way, you come here and you get the news, and maybe also some in-depth insight. If you don’t get the in-depth insight, you still get the news and a few jokes.

I’m not transferring effort from this site to Twitter. Twitter is just much easier and requires much less effort than actually writing essays. (The site was not particularly good when I got my Twitter back – basically, I feel like if I can do a good Twitter account with only small effort, it’s better than not doing that.)

Today, I posted a good thread on Twitter about Damar Hamlin, the NFL player who had cardiac arrest on the field on Monday (and is currently in critical condition). There is an entire army of people on Twitter spamming anyone who says this event was not totally normal. They are claiming it happens all the time.

The left narrative currently is that he had a very rare heart condition that primarily only affects teenagers (and is not associated with American football):

Also, please do note – this is fake:

It’s extremely frustrating that people will just spread this sort of thing regardless of how obviously fake it is, but we have some IQ issues on the right (not nearly as many as on the left, of course). And maybe it seemed real to someone smart, I guess.

I have said since forever that these fake things that come out and go viral whenever something big happens that is bad for the leftist narrative are almost certainly planted on purpose by agents of the system (as opposed to being jokes or whatever). Frankly, I think that Snopes is the one doing it. Remember, in the 1990s when everyone was getting computer viruses and having to pay for anti-virus software, many smart people speculated that the anti-virus companies were producing the viruses.

Sometimes, the memes Snopes debunks are versions of other memes where something was changed to make the information wrong. Like, someone goes and changes “Michael Yeadon, a former chief scientist of a division at Pfizer who went on to found a successful biotech company” to “Michael Yeadon, the former vice president of Pfizer,” and then Snopes goes in and says “actually, this is all wrong because he’s not the former vice president of the company.”

In this case, their entire “mostly false” rating was based on someone changing his title in the memes.

It’s surely very convenient for them. I guarantee that they are going to “debunk” that fake vax tweet from the fake Jew doctor.

Me saying “stop it” obviously isn’t going to do anything. But I thought I should mention it. At least maybe you, dear reader, can avoid ending up feeling dumb.
