  1. I've heard processed fats are causing these tragic deaths of cardiac arrests in kids and young people.

  2. Imagine how bad it would be if wasn't vaccinated though…

  3. Such a shame! Could the gardasil or covid vaccine be the culprit?

  4. 🙏🏽👑💐💐💐💧

  5. Was he vaccinated? The first question to ask.

  6. What i noticed it seems churches are really trying or were trying at " that time" to push "the treatment " on the members of the church. I have different friends who go regularly to church and this seems to be the common theme. How ironic that the pastor and the members of the church now feel sorry for the boy. Maybe I am wrong, maybe his church did not promote "the treatment" for the members, but a lot of times they do.

  7. Everybody who had the "treatment", needs to be absolutely cleared by a cardiologist before any serious physical activity. Maybe like a a physical exam with electrocardiogram once per year. Especially young men seems like more often afflicted by it as a group.

  8. Was he vaccinated? This should be the first question. One of my young relatives developed pericarditis in his early 20th three days after second Moderna shot. He was absolutely healthy young man before the event.

  9. Rip Knox. Good friend.

  10. Looks and sounds like a lovely family, kid, and church. All the way around…

    But, at 35, I’m starting to really resent God over how often God allows the best of us to be taken from the world far too soon. 😔

  11. That Poor Kid. R.I.P. Young Brother.

    I wonder if he was a receiver of the super safe and effective J.A.B.?
    (Unfortunately we know he was, 100%)

    Coincidentally, so many young, healthy people and athletes, all usually with zero medications in their Bodies and No Illnesses. They just keep "mysteriously" dying.

    Well "Mysteriously" is a subjective term here. Its only Mysteriously to a few small groups.

    1. Brainwashed Sheople.
    2. Space Cadets.
    3. Liars.
    4. Greedy.
    5. Con Artists.

  12. Anyone remember these types of stories of sudden death before 2021? Yeah, me neither.

  13. Wonder if he had the j a b🤔

  14. That’s why i don’t run

  15. .Why not clear these children of possible contraindications such as myocarditis before participating in this type of sports?? A child's life is certainly worth clearance.
