Earlier this year, an 18-year-old female athlete, Victoria Lee, died suddenly with no apparent cause – and the speculation about the reason for her passing began almost immediately.
Tweets swirled that Lee had dropped dead from cardiac issues as suspicions turned to COVID and its vaccines.
The comments section of news stories about her death was overtaken by vaccine skeptics, while tweets about her passing were also inundated with messages by vaccine doubters.
In a statement, Lee’s sister Angela begged people to “stop contacting us, stop hiring private investigators, stop with the conspiracy theories.”
A similar situation transpired after Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest in early January following a blow to the chest during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
