Remember when Christian Eriksen – an incredibly fit soccer player – had a heart attack at the European championships in June?

Remember when Christian Eriksen – an incredibly fit soccer player – had a heart attack at the European championships in June?

And Eriksen definitely hadn’t just been vaccinated for Covid.

Except maybe he had. In a radio interview in May, his Italian team doctor had suggested the team’s players WERE BEING vaccinated at the time or WOULD be vaccinated before the 2021-2022 season; the translation of the statement was equivocal, and the interview has since disappeared.

Eriksen has never made any definitive statement either way, and in fact has nearly vanished. He was in the news for the first time in months when his professional team, Inter Milan, said he would not be able to play in Italy this year.

Anyway, it just happened again. Another top-flight European player has just been hospitalized for chest pains. Fortunately Sergio Aguero, the striker for Barcelona, apparently did not have a heart attack. He is currently under observation.

Keep in mind these are among the best-conditioned athletes in the world.

Gee, I wonder what could have happened?
