How could Damar Hamlin have needed 9 minutes of CPR then be completely fine two weeks later? No brain damage, “passed” heart tests everything. Seems fishy to me.

CPR keeps the blood moving and oxygen circulating in the brain… to some degree. It can be enough to prevent brain death until the heart restarts and breathing restored.
It’s not as if he was dead with no blood flow for nine minutes and then his heart restarted. That would have resulted in brain death, yes. But that’s not what happened.
