No more lies

I’VE been watching football since the 1970s, and up to 2021, I can only recall two on-field player collapses: Fabrice Muamba and Marc-Vivien Foe.

We remember them because they were so few and far between – while they did occur, they were extremely rare.

But since 2021, collapses both on the field and in the stands have become a regular, distressing experience for football fans.

On average, we have been seeing about one collapse per week, but the media, government and sports pundits are always ‘baffled’, ‘puzzled’, and ‘totally in the dark’ about what could be causing these medical problems, when there were very few before. 

What could possibly be the common factor in all of these collapses, together with the 10 to 20 per cent excess deaths reported across the western world, according to official government statistics?

In early 2020, we were told there was a dangerous, contagious disease spreading across the world like wildfire, and so they locked us up in our houses and closed down all businesses that weren’t international conglomerates. 

Then, they wouldn’t let us out or open up again until we’d taken an experimental genetic injection (or several) for which there is still no long-term safety data.
