> healthy sportsmen and women seem to be dropping like flies

Just to avoid perpetuating a potential bias: can you provide numbers on this? And then if you can, provide the number per 100k of unvaccinated COVID deaths in their areas for their age

I read something like that. There was link to Wikipedia article, list of active sportsmen who died in last 150 years, about 50 people. And list of 100+ professional sportsmen who died in last 2 years with sources. Mostly from heart related stuff.

Based on your post, I went digging and found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_footballer...

Year 2021 does look like it could stand out more than other years, but I would like to see the deaths normalized by the number of matches that year. Presumably, there have been fewer football matches during the pandemic, which would make 2021 stand out even more if it is true.

If this were true, perhaps it points to the increasing use of PED’s in more recent years.

For deaths is actually 3 potential out of hundreds of millions of doses. Number 3 is a 17 year old woman in WA state who before receiving her vaccine had just gotten over symptomatic covid meaning her heart damage was likely pre existing from the disease not the vaccine.
