This is a little look into where the vaccine / sportsman scare stories are coming from….Someone has wrote an article on this and statistically there is no spike at all its just things are monitored and reported more. Seen a few anti vax post on facebook about this but has been debunked. Footballers generally have lower vaccine uptake than the general poulation. It is a similar situation when a few years ago it seemed loads of famous people were dying, its just turned out it was just a change in the way people were judged to be famous and the way deaths were reported.
Unfortunately stuff like the two examples you posted are only going to fuel the fire.Get well soon Charlie.
Carl Ikeme is trying to ask the question. Trevor Sinclair also raised it the other day on talkSPORT and was was quickly shut down. I don’t know if it’s linked to Covid, the vaccine or something else entirely, but it is happening far too often and it won’t be long until someone else tragic happens.
The piece I read was in The Athletic, I'll dig it out and post it, it seemed pretty sure there was a spike.Someone has wrote an article on this and statistically there is no spike at all its just things are monitored and reported more.

Thanks for sharing that. I have seen countless comments saying exactly the same thing about the numbers and being ‘FIFA players/coaches’, it almost seemed like they were coming from, err, bots.This is a little look into where the vaccine / sportsman scare stories are coming from….
Get well soon charlie.
Isn’t there just…Statistically it is not happening anymore than normal. Things like this have always happened. They are just monitored more and reported differently. There is also a section of people out there with certain agendas at the moment.
Foe and Muamba were 8 years apart. There has been at least 3 this week - Fleck, Wyke and Traore.Wishing Charlie a speedy recovery
The anti-vax angle.......Foe in 2003 and Muamba in 2011, pretty sure they hadn't had their Covid vaccine?
There may be something in it, there may not be. We simply do not know one way or another. Vaxed. Not vaxed. Had Covid. Not had Covid. Underlying conditions......Foe and Muamba were 8 years apart. There has been at least 3 this week - Fleck, Wyke and Traore.
As said above, whether or not any of these are Covid or vaccine related I don’t know, but something is not right and a few ex-professional footballers are starting to ask the question. Is it going to take someone dying on the pitch before it’s taken seriously?
