My apologies for going on about this (see recent posts), but...
When you watch for them, you can see these people everywhere, doing their best to destroy the social fabric.
And for what?
Hits?
I told you so Lulz, sans evidence?
Owning the libs?
It's unfathomable to me, particularly if any of it contributes to a single person not taking precautions against infectious disease, including getting vaccinated against COVID, or the flu, or papilloma viruses, or the measles, or polio, etcetera.
By the way, the 'commotio cordis' that was mentioned by the first commenter in the tweet above (who is a physician specialist in internal medicine) in the context of a football player whose heart stopped suddenly after he received a forceful blow to the chest, is:

... a phenomenon in which a sudden blunt impact to the chest causes sudden death in the absence of cardiac damage. This condition was first described in the middle of the 18th century in the context of chest trauma among workers...

Wouldn't owning a Lib violate the slavery laws?

Ha!
Then again, come to think of it, for some of these folks that just might be an added incentive.

No problem, I get why you are going on about it. The scumbags who are trying to connect a dot over there to the dot they want us to focus on are spreading misinformation and wilful ignorance. They know they are doing it and they know some will buy their bunk.
You may have heard or already know that it happened to Chris Pronger of the NHL back in 1998 who took a puck to the chest and suffered the same heart stoppage and collapsed. He recovered and was playing again 4-5 days later. Different times?

'Controversies', indeed.

I did not know that about Chris Pronger. Turns out that the diagnosis in that case was the very commotio cordis mentioned in the post.
My excuse for the ignorance?... The second half of the '90's and the early Ought's were a cultural and sporting deadzone for me...Pre-tenure obsessive times, young family, and all that... (I did finally learn to play the guitar rudimentarily though, what with the before bed lullaby playing...can't believe I could read all those tabs by flashlight without glasses back then!)

The fact that they use the word "own" to describe a relationship with another human being really tells you a lot about them, don't you think?
Point taken Ed.
But, just to be clear, in this specific case that wording was my conjecture.
