"I think it's highly recorded now, there's 150 I believe now, it's over 100 professional athletes dead -- profession athletes -- the prime of their life, dropping dead
that are vaccinated, right on the pitch, right on the field, right on the court"

Can he name ONE?

that is a pretty absurd claim to make. professional athletes tend to be very easy to find, public people. anyone with internet access could probably create a list of all 'professional athletes' from team websites/baseball-reference/etc from a year ago and actually prove every last one of them is alive or dies from something else.

“Of course, we’ve heard story after story. I mean, all these athletes dropping dead on the field, but we’re supposed to ignore that.”

— Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), in an interview on “The Charlie Kirk Show,” Jan. 27

Johnson made this comment after he asserted that there have been “over 22,000 deaths reported in association with the [coronavirus] vaccines” — and then quickly adding “that doesn’t prove causation.”

We have explored before how Johnson routinely raises concerns about vaccines by citing data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a database co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, and the reports are not verified. The numbers are basically meaningless.

In this instance, we are more interested in his comment about “athletes dropping dead on the field.” His staff says, as with his references to VAERS, that Johnson is just asking questions, not making factual claims.

“Senator Johnson stated he has heard stories of athletes dying on the field and those should be investigated,” spokeswoman Alexa Henning said. “The Senator’s point in raising these issues has always been that our federal health agencies should be concerned about reports on adverse reactions related to covid-19 vaccines and they should fully investigate and make their findings available to the American people.”

She provided a link to a website called Good Sciencing, maintained by anonymous people, that has a blog post with the headline, as of Jan. 31: “577 Athlete Cardiac Arrests, Serious Issues, 352 Dead, After COVID Shot.”

Here’s the rub: This claim has been debunked repeatedly. The story of athletes dropping dead from coronavirus vaccines has its roots in mysterious Austrian websites with ties to that country’s far-right populist party, the Freedom Party. Those stories were then recycled by right-wing media in the United States and then eventually came out of the mouth of a U.S. senator.

We offered $200 incentives at my college. More than 4,500 students took us up on it!

CVS should have sent you an e-mail confirming all the data afterwards. That's what they did when I got my second booster at the local CVS.
