You know, the book's done really well, but we started writing it in 2021, came out in 2022. Now it's already kind of three years, a gripping narrative of what happened in the first phase of the pandemic. And so now we're on to other adventures. Courageous Discourse Substack is where I like people to go to get updated.

So now let's talk about clotting and cardiovascular update. You said you wanted to make... DeMar Hamlin. DeMar Hamlin. Susan's very interested in what happened to DeMar Hamlin. I didn't see him this year. I think he played, but go ahead.

Well, let's just take the virus. So recall in 2020, there were no vaccines. So we had a full year to just observe the virus and what the virus did to the human body. And the Italians broke the news that the virus itself caused fatal blood clotting. This is very important. The virus causes fatal blood clotting.

Almost all those who die of COVID-19 after being in the hospital for weeks, there's blood clots in the lungs. That's the virus. There was a great concern among college athletes that the virus would damage the heart, so-called myocarditis. This is in 2020. So colleges had screening programs the entire year.

NCAA Big Ten Athletic League, that's University of Michigan, Ohio State, you know, those Big Ten schools. They had COVID-19 myocarditis screening programs, Dr. Drew. That means when athletes got COVID in 2020, no vaccine, they had cardiac troponins, EKGs, ultrasounds, and got triaged for cardiac MRI. And in a paper by Daniels and colleagues, Daniels published in JAMA,

Out of screening tens of thousands of athletes, they found about three dozen putative cases of COVID viral myocarditis. No serious cases, no hospitalizations, no deaths. So it is possible that the virus causes myocarditis, but it's very rare and the virus itself, in the best studies that exist, indicate that it's non-serious.

found no increase in myocarditis above the baseline. Now we bring in the vaccines. And I went on Tucker Carlson about 24 hours after this event when Damar Hamlin went down. And I can tell you, he didn't go down because he tackled that player.

Initially, the thought was maybe it was commodio cordis, and that can occur with a hockey puck or a baseball at about over 100 miles an hour hitting an unprotected sternum. In this case, the players have breastplate pads And the helmet is diffused, so it diffuses the energy. So it could not have been commodio cordis that caused DeMar Hamlin to go down. He had a full-blown cardiac arrest.

He was defibrillated, Dr. Drew. Now, this was a kickoff. He probably just drank some Gatorade beforehand because some of the clips show that he had fluid. He actually had a lot of fluid in his mouth when they were resuscitating him. He probably aspirated. And that's the reason why he was on the ventilator overnight.
