I heard an interview with Dr. Paul Alexander yesterday (former Trump warp speed member) and he said that in his opinion this is what is called "silent cardiomyopathy" where the heart took serious damage and scarring from the shot but didn't present with symptoms until a moment of great adrenaline was finally too much for the heart to handle and it stopped. He said Hamlin fit the exact profile of someone who would have issues from the shot due to youth, being male, and high testosterone. Makes sense...so in that scenario, maybe if he were standing on the sidelines he would have been fine, but the hit triggered something that otherwise wouldn't have been triggered if his heart was 100% healthy. Makes sense to me, but still a theory.he was. the entire team was, we know this. another fact i verified long before making my posts, but people seem to think i just make stuff up. i don't even bother posting sources or links anymore, but i don't make up anything.
edit: well okay we don't actually "know" because the team could be lying or he could have gotten a team doc to just squirt the shot into the sink, etc.
for instance: when Jorge Soler caught covid during the 2021 MLB playoffs, he had to serve a longer suspension because he was unvaxxed. the Braves franchise came out and said basically "uh he lied we thought he was vaccinated" and no one really cared i guess. so we know that some pro athletes simply lie and some teams don't really care if they are lying or even tell them to lie in the first place.
