Another healthy adult has died suddenly. Forty-eight-year-old sports reporter Grant Wahl fell back in his chair during “the World Cup match between Argentina and the Netherlands.”
Medical teams attended him as he was moved to an ambulance and then to Hamad General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. But the media isn’t saying much else. We know he felt unwell earlier.
“My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you,” Wahl wrote. “What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort.
“I didn’t have Covid (I test regularly here), but I went into the medical clinic at the main media center today, and they said I probably have bronchitis. They gave me a course of antibiotics and some heavy-duty cough syrup, and I’m already feeling a bit better just a few hours later. But still: No bueno.”
He was clearly misdiagnosed. He died from a heart attack. But some reports claim there was something going around among the media most of whom, like Wahl, were probably vaccinated. But were they all proudly vaccinated?
Wahl’s wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, could be classified as a vaccine extremist, according to this report.
[Grounder is] a rabidly pro-vaccine medical doctor who recently called on Facebook, Twitter, and Google to “deplatform” media outlets and citizens who spread “anti-vaccine disinformation” online.
Grounder’s bio at Wikipedia states that she “is an American physician and medical journalist who specializes in infectious diseases and global health. She was a member of the COVID-19 Advisory Board transition team of then-incoming U.S. president Joe Biden in 2022, she joined the Kaiser Family Foundation as senior fellow and editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News.”
Given who his wife is, we have to assume he’s gotten all his shots and boosters, though there is no information available about that. He does not appear to have bragged about that on Twitter. But she was who she is, and her husband Grant may be another casualty of that war.
