pdate 11:20pm ~ It was announced in the hospital parking lot that Hamlin is not expected to make a full recovery.
Hamlin was vaccinated. The Buffalo Bills is a 100% vaccinated team. I also got a Twitter DM from someone who knows this for a fact who asked that I not disclose his identity. This is a shame since we know know, thanks to my readers, that there is no death benefit to the COVID vaccines.
Update 7:39pm
This was called “unprecedented” on ESPN. Hamlin has been intubated and currently listed in critical condition. All the announcers said they’d never seen it in the NFL. This was a joint decision by both the NFL and the players to stop the game. This is unprecedented.
One of my nurse friends wrote, “How often has a young healthy football player that didn’t take that hard of a hit had a heart attack or stroke.”
A tackle really made his heart stop? How? After decades of hard hits in the NFL, this has never happened.
CPR was administered for 9 minutes. Normal is 3 to 5 minutes. After 10 minutes you’re basically dead.
McCullough said that we will not know for 24 hours whether he will bounce back. He could make a full recovery.
