The league is still in shock over the unfortunate incident with Buffalo Bills’ Safety Damar Hamlin yesterday. While Hamlin is improving, a small section of fans and individuals have begun to speculate and attempt to determine what exactly happened to the player. Entrepreneur Steve Kirsch made some controversial remarks about the situation that did not sit well with anyone.

Kirsch, head of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, shared his thoughts on the situation of Damar Hamlin in his newsletter. Kirsch addressed whether the safety will recover from his injuries or not. Kirsch did his own research and spoke to ‘medical experts’ familiar with similar matters. He was told that there was a high chance that the safety was brain dead within 10 minutes after he collapsed on the field.

I pray that this is not the case, but I think we need to prepare for the possibility. We need to prepare for the very likely possibility that Damar Hamlin is brain dead. If he is brain-dead, there is nothing we can do to bring him back. This is unlikely. While I very much hope that I am wrong about this, the evidence that is known is not favorable.

The speculations did not end there. In his blog, he mentions that he spoke to a renowned medical expert who stated that there was a 99.99% chance that the vaccine had a role to play in this scenario. The primary reason he believes this is the case is because if he did not already have an underlying condition, such an outcome would be unprecedented.

Hamlin was vaccinated as per the NFL‘s mandate. The entire Buffalo Bills‘ squad, except Josh Allen and Cole Beasley, are vaccinated. While initially, certain reports surfaced that claimed Damar had received a dose of the vaccine days before his injury, none of them have been taken into account or have impacted Kirsch’s opinions. These comments from Kirsch did not sit well among the fanbase.
