The football star's case has become the latest rallying point for anti-vaccination lobby.
While rare and potentially dangerous cases of heart inflammation have been associated with some Covid vaccines, these real cases have been muddled together with unrelated illnesses and misinterpreted, sometimes cherry-picked data.
Research by the Center for Countering Digital Hate , a non-profit campaign group based in London and Washington, found that mentions of an anti-vaccine film quadrupled after the player's collapse. "They believe the anti-vaccine rhetoric that they are seeing," she says, "and they are joining in out of genuine concern without necessarily knowing that they're being misled."A Twitter account promoting the Died Suddenly video sent out a message just minutes after Hamlin was transported off the field in Cincinnati claiming there was an "undeniable pattern".
This focused obsession has created a hypersensitive pattern-spotting spiral, with activists and followers often believing the link between every sudden athlete death and vaccines is "obvious", although there is scant solid research to back up their claims.While it might seem unusual for young, healthy people to experience heart problems, there are important differences between a heart attack and cardiac arrest.
