DB3K said "Since covid vaccines have come on the scene there has been an alarming rise in the number of fans/players collapsing at Football. It could always be just a coincidence but it needs looking at."
Because you’re talking out of your arse. If you had said covid prevented people seeking medical advice/treatment for other ailments, you may have had a point..
Maybe the person has had a hospital appointment cancelled because of Covid and then suffered this problem OR maybe they felt bad recently and could get to see their GP once again because of Covid ??? I am more likely to believe this rather than because they had a vaccine for a killer virus.
Unless it’s since the pandemic or the Erikssen incident, these things are taken more seriously and the games are now stopping. Two more incidents tonight. Did these things happen at football regularly before but the games carried on and the medical staff dealt with it in the stand? Meaning these things wasn't as documented. I remember that horrible incident in the ponty end a few years back against Derby. I don’t recall the game stopping that day, but I remember going home with that incident on my mind for the rest of that week.
Well I’m not medically qualified. But ‘apparently’ the author of that article is. And yet I know that ‘the head’ isn’t an organ contrary to the sub head… A scientific clarification of what these injections do in the head and other organs of the vaccinated people It’s almost like they’re written specifically for the attraction of morons.
I’ll never forget that night, I sit in the ESL and I could clearly see what was happening, still sickens me now
St John's ambulance used to deal with many medical emergencies at grounds and the game continued, nowadays the clubs doctors/ medical staff get involved ( probably because they have that brilliant de fib piece of kit) and the game stops which could make it appear their are more emergencies than previously
Shout out to Derby fans who have fundraised the amount StJohns ambulance were owed by Derby . Imo if football clubs have to fully pay the footballing staff to stay in the league they should also pay SJA as they are vital for a match to be held.
I would wager this is the correct hypothesis. When you consider the huge number of people who go to sporting events every week it seems odd, as in statistically improbable, that so few had medical emergencies while attending. The reality is they did, but the event carried on regardless. More often these days the event stops.
I and many others will remember the poor gentleman who appeared to have a cardiac arrest in the stand in our game at Bromsgrove many years ago. Medical staff were working on him for ages, and the game continued all the time. I'm sure the game would have been suspended if that were to happen today.
There was another incident I remember at Oakwell, this time in the Legends Suite in a game against Sheffield United. A gentleman was taken seriously ill, and the medical staff were called. Initially he was screened off with curtains, but then we were all asked to leave and we were shown into unused executive boxes to watch the match, which continued uninterrupted. The vast majority of the fans would never have known what happened. Sadly, the gentleman didn't make it.
