A Brazilian TV reporter was hospitalised after suffering a cardiac arrest on a live news broadcast on Monday one week after he took his booster shot.

Via Italy24:

Brazilian journalist of TV Alterosa, Rafael Silva, suffered cardiac arrest during a live broadcast. After the heart attack he was taken to Humanitas Hospital, in Varginha, in southern Minas Gerais.

Silva is 36 years old and on December 28 received the third dose of the Covid vaccine. He had posted it on Instagram, writing: “Long live the third dose. I’m sorry for the people who haven’t had this opportunity. Vaccines save lives.”

For the doctors interviewed by the television network for which Rafael Silva works, there would be no correlation between the journalist’s illness and the vaccination.

“According to the specialists – explained the spokesperson for Tv Alterosa – the relationship with the vaccine has already been discarded. The suspicion, according to the doctor who is treating him, is that Rafael has congenital heart disease. In other words, it is genetic ”.

      “ The suspicion, according to the doctor who is treating him”

      “Suspicion” – a feeling or thought that something is possible.

      Words are fun eh Tom?

          I have no suspicion.

          Firstly I don’t care. And how the hell would I know what’s going on in another persons body?

          I’m just reading what the ACTUAL English words are in the sentence.

            which are an interpretation of the facts as determined by the persons physician. All we can do here is go ‘blah blah blah’ at each other until one of us leaves.

            I didn’t bring up the vaccine. I haven’t mentioned the vaccine. Bodger didn’t even bring it up..

            Italy24 did. It’s literally in the feckin article ha ha ha!!!

            I don’t know why you’re getting all defensive Paul. I’m only using the power of reading.

          4. paul

            I didn’t bring it up either, not sure where you want this conversation to go or why you think I’m defensive. Maybe that’s your conversational style, I’m sure you’re very popular.

            “ You just mentioned vaccine and Bodger in the same post.”

            Apparently if you do it 5 times in a mirror Bodger appears behind you

            True story…

        Discarded, rejected, thrown out. disregarded. Great fun. Image if there were no words. No bull poo would be posted on Broadsheet.

    …say what you like about Broadsheet but where else would you get coverage of Guatamalan second division football or Brazilian news presenters…as they might say themselves…where would you get it?

        Actually this entire post is pro vaccine.

        It literally says that this poor chap is suffering from congenital heart failure and that the vaccine had NOTHING to do with his collapse.

        Comprehension of English really is lacking in these parts.

    “the suspicion, according to the doctor who is treating him, is that Rafael has congenital heart disease. In other words, it is genetic ”

    And there is the framing of the narrative. Dodgy heart OR vaccine injury- not dodgy heart AND vaccine injury, which is much more likely. Would this poor fella have ever even known he had a heart issue if it wasn’t for the vaccine? These things are rarely if ever an excusive ‘OR’.

    1. freewheeling

      +1. Which is harder to accept – that a “suspicion” of a congenital heart condition would coincidentally take the week after vaccination to crop up, or that Doctors would say a vaccine (with know heart adverse events) had nothing to do with it cropping up.

    2. Micko

      Ah now lads.

      The article CLEARLY states that it was congenital heart failure and the vaccine he received the week before had nothing to do with it.

      You can’t be engaging in speculation. It’s already been figured out how it all transpired.

      Back to bed with the two of ye ;)
