Nobody on earth knows how long they will live in this world. We know that life expectancy has been growing for generations but has dipped in the last decade. This dip can be attributed to increased suicides and drug/alcohol-related early deaths. Losing 100,000 people in the 18-43 age group yearly to Fentanyl poisoning does not help the average. When we start seeing our young dying long before their time, we need to know why. A recent situation has arisen that should cause many to step back and reevaluate what we put into our bodies. Young, healthy, athletic men are experiencing heart-related trauma or death at an alarming rate. These young victims are soccer players, basketball or football players. They are athletes in prime condition. These young men should not become statistics when their lives are just hitting strides.

These unfortunate deaths and maladies may have been occurring for some time, but have certainly become more frequent and drawing more attention since the end of the Pandemic. I have not heard anyone draw a correlation to any particular cause or find a common denominator linking individual deaths or setbacks. I think the reason may still be the third rail of the Pandemic- the vaccines.

The vaccines and the government initiative called Warp Speed were credited with saving lives and bringing a swift conclusion to the Pandemic. The CDC and White House, under Donald Trump and Joe Biden, felt so strongly about the vaccine that they enforced vaccine mandates as criteria for school, work, and travel. Warp Speed may have saved lives, but unfortunately, it also divided the country into the jabbed and the unjabbed. People were discharged from the active military for refusing to get the shot. Professional athletes were benched, foreign travelers were denied access to America, and people had no choice-take the shot or be ostracized by society. The one thing that Warp Speed did not allow was extensive testing of the vaccine and its long-term impact on the young and healthy. We may now be paying the price and feeling the impact of the lack of testing. That impact may be deadly and yet to be uncovered.

If we can trust the CDC, some initial concerns were heart issues with young men and possible reproductive issues with young women. Neither of these risks were publicized as the CDC pushed for vaccines and boosters. Even today, long after the end of the Pandemic, the U.S. government denied access to the country for Novak Djokovic. The best tennis player in the world did not play at the Miami Open or U.S. Open after the world No. 1 was denied an exemption that would have allowed him to enter the U.S. despite not being vaccinated against COVID-19.

At the same time the government is still enforcing COVID vaccinations, healthy young men are suffering severe or fatal heart attacks. There is no definitive link, but there is too much coincidence not to investigate the possibility. The government does not want to touch the situation, for if the connection were confirmed, the mandate for the shot would be challenged beyond what has already happened. This is happening when confidence in our government is at an all-time low, which makes it all the more essential that we insist on answers. We need the truth, and it is up to us to pressure the government for nothing less. You will not see answers forthcoming voluntarily.
