  1. How is it possible they do this entire report but they donโ€™t mention the obvious?

  2. Thanks pfizer. This is so messed up. Wake up humans. Society institutions and industry aren't set up to help you ๐Ÿ‘โš ๏ธ

  3. How sorry I am, Condolences to you ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  4. This sadly is starting to become a norm

  5. Why are they having football practice in Feb?

  6. After what happened with Damar, no one, NO ONE, could perform CPR?????????? What a needless tragedy.

  7. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

  8. ๐Ÿค” this was not a common occurrence a few years ago. Wonder what recently happened worldwide.

  9. why did this little boy collapse? and how did they knew CPR would have saved him?

  10. You would think with all these deaths related to young people just collapsing while playing sports with no medical issues whatsoever , that someone somewhere would do research on that Vax this is happening way to often everyday someone is dropping ,this is not a coincidence.

  11. Poor Kid. I'm not sure if this kid was vaccinated … but wanted to say that there are no guarantees when you choose to take an experimental vaccine.

  12. Sorry for the loss, but Why wont they say if he had the vax or not? Too many young people dying.

  13. Why are so many young boys and men catching heart attacks and cardiac arrest๐Ÿ˜”
    Rest in Peace young ๐Ÿ‘‘

  14. On a related note is there a link between this stuff happening and the Covid vaccine?

  15. YEAH all these "Prayers" sent comments!!!
    HOW about calling your representatives and find out why this happened????
    Maybe do Something that will make a difference instead of you lip service of prayers.

  16. BREAKING: Pfizer warns a fourth booster may may be needed for those who haven't died yet.

  17. Rip Little man โคโคโคโคโคโค

  18. Sorry, don't know what to say.

  19. I'm so sorry ๐Ÿ˜ž
    REST IN PEACE sweet Elijah

  20. When you call 911 they rake you step by step through it….WTF!!!

  21. Honestly everyone should learn how to do CPR. Itโ€™s inexpensive and you can save someone lifeโ€™s.

  22. everyone should know cpr and heimlich (teach in school). i had to do cpr on my dying mom – no one else was home. it's a very important life skill

  23. pray for the vaxxed. ๐Ÿ™

  24. An adult should've been present, with the kids. So sorry for this young man and his family. Rest in peace.

  25. Did he take that ๐Ÿ’‰… This is what you people are not telling us. This is the 3rd child this month who died the same exact way!! Why don't you parents warn and prepare these other parents!

  26. Nobody thought to get a ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ cop. They didnโ€™t want to be euthanized by the cop ๐Ÿ”ซ

  27. Terrible tragedy. As a future warning for those who don't know, officers are required to take CPR lessons. If no one else is around that knows CPR, get a cop.

  28. ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ’‰ SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ๐Ÿชฆ

  29. My deepest sympathy. Hug love.
