Anyone who saw what happened in Denmark yesterday saw a very scary situation. Christian Eriksen of Denmark collapsed on the pitch and needed CPR to be revived. There's rumors that Eriksen received the Pfizer vaccine on May 31st. Danish media disputes these rumors. I have no idea if its true or not. But let's hope it is. Why? 29 year old soccer players do not need to be revived on the pitch unless there's a huge problem. If it was the vax, it would be explainable and he likely would need some further recovery time and then get cleared and resume his career. If it wasn't the vax? Then the guy has a HUGE heart problem and will likely never play again.
"Fabrice Muamba, whose heart stopped for more than an hour while playing in a match between Bolton and Spurs in 2012, tweeted: "Please God".
The Danish midfielder collapsed near the end of the first half in his country's opening Euro 2020 match against Finland.

"Long-term heart damage likely in some Covid-19 survivors, review finds
From CNN Health’s Maggie Fox
Long-term heart damage is likely in some survivors of Covid-19, a team of doctors reported Monday.
The doctors found that Covid-19 dysregulates the way the blood clots, and damages the lungs and their ability to process fresh oxygen into the blood, they wrote in a review for the American College of Cardiology.
Patients who have had to undergo ventilation -- and the medicated sedation that goes along with that --- are most in danger, wrote Dr. Sean Pinney of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and his colleagues.
The doctors noted that about a third of survivors of the closely-related severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus in 2003-2004 had persistently abnormal lung function a year after illness, with lower exercise capacity -- and Covid-19 appears to damage the heart even more.
A second study noted a kind of damage to the heart known as myocardial injury in about a quarter of coronavirus patients.
A third study in the same journal noted that patients with excess body fat, uncontrolled blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol face much higher risks of complications from coronavirus. Many Americans have all four problems.

possible heart issues to a University of Houston player
opting out of the season because of “complications with my heart,” the news has been coming fast and furiously. More than a dozen athletes at Power Five conference schools have been identified as having myocardial injury following coronavirus infection, according to
ESPN; two of the conferences—the Big Ten and the Pac-12—already have announced they are postponing all competitive sports until 2021. And in Major League Baseball, Boston Red Sox ace pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez told reporters that he felt “
100 years old” as a result of his bout with COVID, and of MLB’s shortened season because of myocarditis—an inflammation of the heart muscle, often triggered by a
virus. Said Rodriguez: “That’s [the heart is] the
most important part of your body, so when you hear that … I was kind of scared a little. Now that I know what it is, it’s still scary.”
