Monday night, football fans witnessed Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills fall on the field following a tackle. Hamlin lay still while physicians attended to him. After many minutes, he was hauled off the field in an ambulance and sent to a hospital in Cincinnati. Hamlin had completed the tackle, but it was evident that something else had caused him to collapse to the ground.
#Buffalo #Bills player safety Damar Hamlin makes this tackle and with incredible force makes contact to the ground. He then gets up only to fall down involuntarily.
This seems like a vasovagal syncope phenomenon where a stressful trigger leads to a sudden drop in HR and BP. pic.twitter.com/Ozw9vxtNi8

The spectators could not believe what was occurring. Reporters accompanied Hamlin to the hospital, but there were no developments.
According to Gateway Pundit, Mario Nawfal has been relaying updates from the hospital.
– The Fed got startled & brought in additional resources because Joe Biden is coming on Wednesday & they didn’t want “trouble” if Hamlin were to die under mysterious circumstances
-"I personally followed several of these vehicles to one of the locations before being forced away"

Last night the feds moved in operatives at the Cincinnati hospital, in anticipation of the possibility that President Joe Biden may come to visit Damar this week. It is unknown what provoked the visit, but the entire occurrence is exceedingly unique, and concerns are being raised as to why Hamlin would experience such a situation.
The mention of Hamlin’s critical condition and the topic of his imminent demise brought to light the fact that it is extremely rare for an NFL player to have such a medical emergency during a game.
In nearly 50 years, NO NFL PLAYER has died immediately from an on-field hit. Before 51 years ago, Chuck Hughes died after falling on the field. The regular monitoring of NFL athletes’ health and vital data by a medical support staff makes it improbable that a player would suffer from a medical problem without the medical team knowing about it or at least seeing indications of it.
– No player has died directly resulting from an on-field injury in over 51 years, so the fact we’ve come this close to potential tragedy is exceptionally noteworthy.
– There is massive speculation about the cause of Hamlin’s collapse, and it seems a heart problem is the cause.

Today, CNN reported that after suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during the game and being transported to the hospital, Hamlin remains sedated on a ventilator as doctors work to get him to breathe on his own, according to his uncle, while anxious fans across the country await word of his prognosis. Tuesday night, the 24-year-old athlete was in serious condition. His uncle addressed CNN.
“My nephew basically died on the field and they brought him back to life,” Dorian Glenn, uncle to Hamlin, said.
More on this story via The Republic Brief:
It is still unclear what led to the cardiac arrest for Hamlin. He is on a ventilator to relieve some of the strain on his lungs, which have been damaged, according to Glenn. The doctors told Glenn his nephew has also been “flipped over on his stomach” in the hospital to help with the blood in his lungs, he said, adding, “it seems like he’s trending upwards in a positive way.” CONTINUE READING…
