This strain of virus disinformation has been repeatedly debunked by everyone from the Washington Posting and NY Times to Reuters.
Fact Check-List of ‘108 FIFA soccer players’ is not proof of a common link between COVID-19 vaccines and athlete deaths
Widespread claims that 108 FIFA soccer players have died in a six-month period in 2021 are not based in fact – nor are suggestions that the alleged deaths are linked to COVID-19 vaccines.www.reuters.com
No, athletes are not dying from Covid-19 vaccines. (Published 2022)
Claims about professional athletes dying after getting vaccinated have been a recurring conspiracy theory since the shots were introduced.www.nytimes.com
600MM doses of vaccine have been administered in the the US alone. For kids 12-17, almost 18MM have received one dose. A fatality rate of even 1% would mean hundreds of thousands of children alone impacted which obviously hasn't happen.
The funny thing is that all of this was studied way before "covid" was on anyone's radar. This is from 2012:
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young athlete commonly brings to the forefront the many gaps in knowledge regarding how to predict and prevent these rare tragic events.1–3 Although the number of athletic sudden deaths is relatively small, with ≈100 to 150 competitive deaths during sports in the United States annually, they represent an important and emotionally charged public health issue, perhaps out of proportion to the relative risks of other pediatric deaths (Figure 1).1–5
On average, every 3 days in the United States a competitive athlete experiences a SCD, and many of these deaths are nationally noted. However, this same intense media speculation is not given to a nonathlete who experiences SCD or indeed to a competitive athlete who has SCD off the athletic field. On the basis of media reports it would appear that SCD deaths in athletes are much more common than in nonathletes. However, the data supporting such a claim have many limitations.
