This is going to redpill a lot of normie stragglers. Derek Rhoads of Baseball Prospectus magazine reports that player injuries in the MLB are up 33% this year compared to the last full season of play (2019). The only thing that's obviously different about this season is that most players (about 85% according to MLB) got their covid jabs this spring. source: https://twitter.com/drhoa3/status/1400307497508896771
Now, fans are starting to see the connection: "Could Covid-19 Vaccinations Be Playing a Role in MLB's Current Wave of Injuries?" "Will there be legal and financial fallout from this spring's vaccination campaign? While the vaccine manufacturers themselves are shielded from liability over side effects in most cases, MLB and/or individual MLB clubs might be held responsible for failing to meet informed consent requirements. MLB.com writer Brian McTaggart reported on May 10 that Dr. Seema Shah of Houston Methodist played a major role in 'educating' the Astros players "on the pros and cons of the vaccine" and helped to "dispel some of the misinformation that might be out there." If it should turn out, however, that the team or its medical staff withheld essential information from players about potential Covid vaccine risks, players or their survivors could have grounds for legal action." source: https://www.crawfishboxes.com/2021/5/29/22459946/could-covid-19-vaccinations-be-playing-a-role-in-mlbs-current-wave-of
I wonder how many of those injured have received the vax. Could it be close to 100%?
MLB reports that approx. 80% of its players have been vaccinated. However it isn't evenly distributed among the 30 MLB teams. I suspect the teams with lower vax rates are the ones winning the most games this year, but the league will never release that kind of data. I also suspect that if we knew which vax each player took, we'd find that some vax brands have impacted player performance more than others.
