Musk: Bronny James cardiac arrest may be vaccine related

Makes Statement0 Comments

Referring to Bronny James’ cardiac arrest, Musk says:

We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing. Myocarditis is a well known side-effect

Twitter briefly adds a Community Notes fact check to the tweet, however, it was removed later that day.

Studies show that the risk of myocarditis is significantly higher after an actual Covid infection than with the vaccine. Among adolescent boys, the risk of myocarditis following a Covid infection was approximately twice that of the risk following the second vaccine dose.

Upset at finishing second

Makes Statement0 Comments

James expresses his displeasure at finishing second in the voting for the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award:

It sucks. It definitely sucks, though, finishing second. Who wants to finish second?

James averaged 6.8 defensive rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1 block per game for the season, but he says the most important aspect of his defensive ability is his versatility:

I guard everybody on the floor. I don’t know if it’s one player in NBA history that’s guarded 1 (point guards) through 5 (centers). It’s over with now, but it’s cool.
