Óscar Cabrera Adames, a 28-year-old professional basketball player from the Dominican Republic, suffered a heart attack and died while performing a stress test at a health center. A stress test measures the electrical activity of the heart during physical activity. It has not yet been conclusively determined whether undergoing the stress test is what led to the athlete’s heart attack.1
Collapsed, Almost Died After First Pfizer mRNA Shot
Adames had previously collapsed during a basketball game in 2021. He blamed the incident on myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), induced by messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 shots he had received.2 He stated that he had no pre-existing health conditions prior to getting two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech Comirnaty shot as a condition of employment.
At the time of his collapse after the first Pfizer COVID shot, Adames wrote on his social media page:
But guess what? It was compulsory or I couldn’t work. I am an international professional athlete and I am playing in Spain. I have no health problem, nothing, not hereditary, no asthma, NOTHING! I suddenly collapsed to the ground in the middle of a match and almost died. I’m still recovering and I’ve had 11 different cardiology tests done and guess? They find nothing.3
Pfizer officials denied any connection between the young Adames’ death and its Comirnaty product and claimed reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of outer lining of the heart) post vaccination are rare and more likely “unrelated” to vaccination.
A Pfizer spokesperson commented:
Serious adverse events unrelated to vaccination will likely occur at a similar rate in vaccinated individuals as they would in the overall population. With a vast number of people vaccinated to date, the benefit risk profile of our vaccine remains positive.5
Studies Show Much Greater Risk of Myocarditis After Pfizer COVID Shots
A study conducted by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and several universities and hospitals published in the JAMA Network contradict Pfizer’s denial of a connection between Comirnaty shots and the prevalence of heart inflammation among those, like Adames, who have gotten the shots. The 2022 study showed that the risk of myocarditis after receiving the Comirnaty shot was 133 greater than the normal risk of the myocarditis for the general public. However, this number may actually be much greater due to the way the data was collected.5
The study relied on data from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), which was a vaccine safety provision included in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of (NCVIA) 1986 that centralized vaccine adverse event reporting into one system. VAERS is jointly operated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the CDC.
It has long been known that adverse events to vaccination are significantly under-reported. A 2011 Harvard Pilgrim Health Care report found that less than one percent of all adverse reactions to vaccination were reported to VAERS.6 As of July 7, 2023, there had been more than 900,000 adverse events associated with Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA COVID vaccine reported to VAERS.8
Previous studies have also shown the undeniable connection between Comirnaty shots and cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, especially among young men.8 9 10
It was unclear what the long-term repercussion of Comirnaty-induced myocarditis will be. The CDC is investigating the long-term effects of heart inflammation after administration of the Pfizer/BioNTech shot by conducting a survey to gather information.11

“The CDC is investigating the long-term effects of heart inflammation after administration of the Pfizer/BioNTech shot by conducting a survey to gather information.”
After the Dr Thompson MMR/autism CDC study fraud revelations this hardly fills me with confidence. However, they DID phase out mercury in MMR so perhaps if they find some kind of problem with the COVID vaccines they will at least change the formulation, if not hold anyone responsible. God forbid a Republican kleptocracy where there won’t even be THAT.
If you think this is a red or blue issue you are mistaken. Don’t be a parrot in a cage screeching red blue red blue. Rest assured there are things that all political parties will always agree on; spending more of your taxpayer money. They always are in agreement, on both sides of the isle; Tax the people more. Continue spending. Dialing for dollars is the name of the game, which is why powerful corporate interests are rarely held accountable. They’ll form more committees, engage in endless debates, and then move on to something else to sweep accountability away to the four winds. Big pharma just killed more people than have perished in many a historical war time era, and not a single person went to jail. If you think that has anything to do with republican or democrat specifics, well, the political propaganda works better on some people than it does others.
It’s the jab, stupid. How frigging idiotic is the world to just blindly believe the never ending stream of blatant lies and product misrepresentations from the pharmasuetical industry?
It’s like standing in line at the store. And then you smack the person in front of you directly in the side of the ear. They turn and clearly see it was you whom hit them. But you smile and are dressed in a white lab coat and politely tell them it was the person behind you, and they must be mistaken to think it was you. Then miraculously, despite all evidence to the contrary, the dazed and confused line dweller actually believes your deception and gets mad at the other guy. Idiots. Brought to you by phizer.
It’s the spike! Myocarditis is happening in both vaxxed and unvaxxed(with natural covid).
A new program based on a different part of the virus is needed.
And folks need to have full autonomy over their bodies, whether vax or abortion.
We are being gaslighted and manipulated…flat out lied to by these narcissistic agencies. I didn’t want to believe it but after months of research, it’s sadly true. It’s the largest, most evil coverup I’ve ever seen. All in the name of money. What’s happening in this country is no different than tortures and murders happening in other countries, it’s just under the guise of “we care for you, you’re safe, trust us.” Like cattle being led to slaughter. The fact that these vaccines continue to cause blood clots, heart problems, fertility issues, cancer and more (things that are difficult to diagnose) leading the CDC to convincingly say the cause is due to something else, is downright sinister. There is so much information out there from brilliant scientists and doctors; absolute facts on what’s in the vaccine, what the vaccine does and how unsafe it is, yet much of it is controlled and suppressed. Even peer reviewed journal are being falsified. VAERS reports just under 11,000 deaths from adverse reactions (with lots of disclaimers!) yet nowhere in the history of our country have we had a product pushed on us regardless! Any other drug would’ve been pulled from the market, not recommended for children and more. If we question, we are shamed, called “anti-vaxxers” or conspiracy theorists (as of now I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a conspiracy happening, so guess it’s true)! All of the wonderful people getting REAL info into the world are not doing it for benefit. They are trying to save lives. But does big Pharma and the government give a damn about our lives? Clearly no. They are blatantly murdering people and not just a few. And this is not over. I cannot wait for these agencies and people to be exposed in a way that makes their pedestals come crashing down. For now, taking control of our health and not relying on these snakes is about all you can do. As for those who are vaxxed (including my kid) all I can do is hope and pray there’s a way to help them.
Well said, and I too pray for my kids,(young adults) who now have anxiety knowing they were duped beyond their belief.
Nattokinase a natural enzyme, is effectively being used to degrade residual spike protein and spike caused fibroid in the body after Covid infection, and or after vaccination. Do the research to find out more. Bromelain and Nac is also being used effectively for saying to reduce long Covid and vaccine symptoms.
They’re also saying that fasting is an effective mechanism for healing. Apparently, according to what they’re saying, when one fasts for a few days, the body eats itself but specifically will first consume malformed proteins and other materials which are somehow fallen out of homeostasis or good balance. The body knows what is essential to save, and what is not essential and can be consumed for survival purposes. Additionally this activity is good for health reasons. So that’s interesting, one of the historical health management approaches taken around the world was fasting at least a few days a month. Won’t catch modern medicine recommending that, because they can’t sell you anything.
Why is my commentary in this thread approved but my commentary in the other thread not posted? CHD would do that to me, and would edit my comments and such. I never tried to post there again and never gave again. Allow free speech or do not allow free speech, there is no in between which passes constitutional muster. Moderator comment approval should be limited to stopping spam, stopping harassment, and omitting bad language. It should not be used to curate or to apply personal opinion if someones speech is worthy of recognition or not.
