In March three top cyclists suffer heart attacks, two die

March has not been a good month for vaccinated cyclists.

Published: March 28, 2022, 11:38 am

    Belgian cyclist Cédric Baekeland died of a heart attack during a training camp in Mallorca, Spain. Baekeland had been on the Mediterranean island since March 12 for the March 26 start of the season in Slypskapelle, Belgium.

    The cyclist from the Belgian city of Roeselare, on March 14, suffered a heart attack. He only managed to alert his sleeping roommate before he collapsed. All efforts to resuscitate Baekeland were in vain.

    “He had recently been examined, the test showed that he was perfectly healthy,” his team said.

    The young cyclist only recently took up the sport after playing football for both KSV Roeselare and Club Roeselare. An injury cut short his budding soccer career and he turned to cycling. This season he would have been a full member of the elite cycling squad.

    At the request of the family, the cycling team declined media interviews in Mallorca for the time being, Nieuwsblad reported. All the cyclists on the team had reportedly been vaccinated. Ronny Vanmarcke (73) the former coach of the National Youth Cycling and the oldest face of the jab campaign, had boasted about the high jab rate of older cyclists generally. In October last year, he urged the youth to get the shot too.

    “The pros have already been able to ride competitions, but the youth is longing to be able to cycle again. At the first youth cycling races I will certainly be cheering at the finish. With my participation in this campaign, I hope to convince the doubters to get vaccinated so that we can quickly resume normal life.”

    It appears that a “normal life” now includes the possibility of healthy young men dying of heart failure.

    The news of Baekeland’s death comes in the wake of the sudden demise of another 28-year-old rider, Scotland’s Commonwealth Games cyclist John Paul. On March 9, Paul also passed away and the cause of his sudden death was not made public, leading to speculation that he had died as a result of the Covid-19 vaccine.

    On March 21, during the Volta a Catalunya cycling race in Catalonia, Italian cyclist Sonny Colbrelli collapsed crossing the finishing line with initial reports suggesting that he suffered a cardiac arrest. He was however resuscitated and diagnosed with one of the known side-effects of the jab, namely “cardiac arrhythmia”.

    Colbrelli’s team issued an official statement on March 22: “Our medical team can confirm that Sonny Colbrelli suffered from a cardiac arrest that required defibrillation. The cause is still to be determined, and the Italian rider will undergo further tests tomorrow at the Hospital Universitari de Girona.” The cause was not made public however.

    Last year, no less than three young Belgian cyclists from Kempen developed heart problems after a race. Junior Joppe Erpels from Arendonk ended up in intensive care, Xander Verhagen from Geel had problems during training and newcomer Yarno Van Herck said he suddenly felt a stab in his chest during the race.

    France, the epicentre of global cycling, voted a law last year requiring all participants in cycling events (athletes, support staff and most spectators) to be vaccinated for the Tour de France.

    As in international tennis, a negative Covid test is no longer sufficient for freedom of movement and access to venues in France. Cyclists, team members and fans at cycling events, have to be fully compliant with vaccine pass rules. And Belgian cyclists have adhered to these dictates.

    Meanwhile, the only defining issue for this male age group’s spiking death rate has been mass vaccination.

    1. “After his booster shot, drummer Taylor Hawkins suffered chest pains and died in his hotel room. A healthy person does not die just like that, and to look away and deny it is inhuman and terrible.”

    2. He was a drug addict on 10 different illegal substances when he died, “but its the jab.” LOL, get a fkn grip. He got exactly what he deserved. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. IN this case his prize was death at an early age.

    3. Get another jab. If you survive, maybe you will get to buy blood thinners from the same A-holes marketing the “vaccines”.

    5. The autopsy showed that Hawkins’s heart weighed at least 600 grams, about twice that of a normal adult man’s heart, a known side-effect of the Corona vaccine. Not drug abuse. https://www.semana.com/deportes/articulo/viralizan-video-de-taylor-hawkins-con-camiseta-de-la-seleccion-colombia-en-concierto/202200/

    6. Millions more to come, now VAIDS and cancers are going to explode. Keep taking the boosters if you want the same outcomes, but it may be too late any ways with putting mRNA into your veins.

    7. The mrna was supposed to become impotent after 20 minutes. Instead it is becoming DNA.

    8. A friend of mine had metasticized bladder cancer (the bladder was free of tumors), had his booster in October 2021 and just finished a trial drug that shrunk the spots on his lung and his liver (3 small spots) in January 2022. He just passed away from bladder cancer that spread to his brain which is very rare. Coincidence?

    16. The accountability for this scam PLANDEMIC is going to make Nuremberg seem pale in comparison.

      The Leftwing Leadership of the Western World is going to get even more tryannical as the noose tightens.

    17. No one will know what he died of unless they do a full autopsy and make it public.
      Sounds like he’d had drugs in his system for decades and didn’t die, so why now?
      Maybe drugs, maybe something else.

    19. …and our government in the US made damn sure that Big Pharma would not be liable for any of the genocide starting to occur. All about the money, after all.

    20. No worries, your tax dollars are paying Phizer to develop a cure for its government mandated gene therapeutic vaccines. In the meantime, getcher boosters!
