Former West Ham United player Pedro Obiang was diagnosed with myocarditis after his COVID-19 vaccination in July. The 29-year-old was hospitalized with heart problems for 10-15 days. He was omitted from all sporting activities for a minimum of 6 months after his diagnosis.
A doctor was quoted saying:
“The player [Obiang] came to us for his annual check-up to confirm his competitive fitness. We noticed some anomalies that were not supposed to be there so we scheduled a heart test the next day at the Humanitas Hospital in Milan.
The next day, Friday (July 9), in agreement with the doctors of Sassuolo, we had him admitted to the Polyclinic, where he remained for about 10-15 days. He was there diagnosed with myocarditis.
He had been vaccinated three to five days before, like all the players.”

Brandon Goodwin: 26-Year-Old NBA Player Suffered Blood Clots Shortly After His COVID-19 Vaccination, Still Sidelined 7 Months Later
Former Atlanta Hawks point guard Brandon Goodwin developed blood clots after the COVID vaccine which resulted in him missing the end of the 2020-21 NBA season.
In a video posted on Twitch on September 29th, Goodwin said: “Yes, the vaccine ended my season. One thousand percent.” He also said that he was told: “not to say anything about it, not to tell anybody.”
He continued:
“I got sick and I never quite recovered from it. I would always have back pain, I was just super tired in the games. I felt like I couldn’t run up and down the court. My back was hurting. My back really started hurting bad. Then, I’m like, ‘OK. I need to go to the doctor. That’s when I found out I had blood clots. That all happened within the span of a month. I was fine until then. I was fine up until I took the vaccine, I was fine.”
Goodwin admitted in the video that he has concerns about his future in the NBA:
“I don’t know where I’m playing at this year. I’m not going to lie to y’all, I don’t know.”
The point guard hasn’t returned to the NBA since developing blood clots from the vaccine 7 months ago.

Greg Van Avermaet: Former Olympic Road Cycling Champion Quits Cycling World Cup Due To Vaccine Side-Effects
The 2016 olympic gold medal cyclist Greg Van Avermaet didn’t participate in this year’s World Championships after saying his immune system had been compromised by the Pfizer vaccine he received in June.
“My blood values show nothing. Perfect, as always, which is also my great strength. But other data shows that there is something wrong with my immune system. My body is fighting an unknown adversary and that is probably the vaccine. I sleep well, train well and feel good, but I am missing 3% of my top form.”
Van Avermaet wasn’t the first top professional cyclist to raise concerns about the effects of the vaccine on his performance. In July, following the Tour de France, Astana-Premier Tech’s Jakob Fuglsang, who did not start the final stage of the race due to illness and sat 38th overall following the previous day’s individual time trial, said he believed that being vaccinated lay behind his lackluster performance in the three-week race.

Francesca Marcon: 38-Year-Old Volleyball Player Developed Pericarditis After Her Second Pfizer Vaccine
Italian volleyball player Francesca Marcon immediately suffered from shortness of breath and chest pains after her Pfizer vaccination on August 3rd. She went to the emergency room the next day where doctors diagnosed her with pericarditis. The volleyball player shared her experience on Instagram:
“Perhaps this speech of mine may be a bit blasphemous, but I ask myself: is there no form of compensation for those who suffer health damage after getting the vaccine? I state that I am not anti-vax but I have never been convinced of taking this vaccine and now I understand why. I don’t know if you are interested but I have had and still have post-vaccine pericarditis. Who pays the price for all this?”

Antoine Méchin: 32-Year-Old Triathlete Suffered Blood Clots After Moderna Vaccine, Possible End Of Career
French triathlete Antoine Méchin was forced to suspend his season in September after a severe adverse reaction to the Moderna vaccine. Méchin received his first dose on June 28th and his second on August 16th. He suffered shortness of breath and lower back pain after the injection. Several tests later showed that he suffered from a pulmonary embolism as a result of the vaccine. Méchin is still recovering to this day.
He said after his diagnosis:
“I am now getting treatment and I hope to regain my lung capacity (in 3-6-9-12 months?) Until then: rest and low intensity for several months.
Damaging healthy people to preserve the health of the weakest, a choice of backward logic. I would not get vaccinated if it had to be done again.”

Kyle Warner: Professional Mountain Biker Suffered Several Health Problems After Pfizer Vaccine, Possible End Of Career
Professional mountain biker Kyle Warner was diagnosed with pericarditis and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome after the Pfizer vaccine. He shared his vaccine injury on his YouTube channel at the start of October.
“The second thing [besides pericarditis] that I’ve been dealing with this whole time has been something called POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I got that diagnosed the other day at the cardiologist’s office, and what was really hard is that he told me that they’re not sure how to treat it.
He then told me that it could take 12-18 months to heal from this. I was kind of shocked when I heard that. I came home and broke down crying, mostly out of frustration. Frustration that there’s not really a clear path forward. I think that’s been the hardest thing with this situation.”
Kyle also shared his story at a roundtable discussion with COVID-19 vaccine-injured and medical experts on federal vaccine mandates in the US Senate on November 3rd. Citizens suffering from vaccine-induced injuries traveled from all across the US to share their stories in the nation’s capital.

Jeremy Chardy: 34-Year Old Former World No. 25 Tennis Player Ends Season After ‘Violent, Near Paralyzing Pain’ From Vaccine Injury
Veteran French tennis player Jeremy Chardy suspended his season in September after suffering a debilitating reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine.
Chardy told the press:
“Since I had my vaccine (between the Olympics and the US Open), I have a problem. I am struggling. I can’t train, I can’t play. In my head, it’s difficult because I don’t know how long it will last. For now, my season is over and I don’t know when it will resume.
It’s frustrating because I started the year really well. I was playing very good and then I went to the Olympic Games where I also felt very good. It’s frustrating, especially that I don’t have ten years left to play. I regret having the vaccine, but I could not have known that this would happen.”
He admitted that he’s concerned about his tennis career:
“I’ll be 35 in February so right now I might be a bit negative but this is the first time I have ever thought that this season might be my last. I don’t want to think about it … it’s difficult because I was having fun and I want to play longer.”
Chardy hasn’t returned to the court since his vaccine injury in early September.

Florian Dagoury: World Record Holder In Static Breath-Hold Freediving Developed Myocarditis and Pericarditis After Pfizer Vaccine, Possible End Of Career
Florian Dagoury, currently the world’s top static breath-hold free diver, was diagnosed with myocarditis and pericarditis 40 days after his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. He is known for holding his breath for 10 minutes and 30 seconds. The elite Freedriver, of French origin and based in Thailand, experienced a significant decrease in his breath-hold ability and went to a cardiologist who told him that it’s a common side effect of the Pfizer vaccine. He wrote on Instagram:
“After my 2nd dose, I noticed that my heart rate was way higher than normal and my breath hold capacities went down significantly. During sleep, I’m at 65-70bpm instead of 37-45bpm. During the day, I’m now always over 100bpm instead of 65bpm, even when I sit down and relax. I once even reached 177bpm while having dinner with friends !!!! 10 days after my 2nd jab, I went to see a cardiologist and he told me it’s a common side effect of Pfizer vaccine, nothing to worry about, just rest it will pass.
40 days after my 2nd jab, I had no progress so I went to see another cardiologist and got diagnosed with Myocarditis, Pericarditis and Trivial Mitral regurgitation! Which is basically an inflammation of the heart muscles caused by the immune system and some tiny leaks of blood from the valves that no longer close properly. I’m now struggling to reach 8min breath hold, 150m dyn and I even have a strong urge to breathe doing 40m dives. 30% decrease on my diving performance roughly.”
