"This shouldn't be happening to healthy 28-year-olds" - Fans erupt in vaccine conspiracy speculations in wake of Oscar Cabrera Adames' untimely death

Pro basketball player Oscar Cabrera Adames passed away this week due to a possible heart attack while undergoing a stress test in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

According to the New York Post, Adames was suffering from myocarditis. It's a disease that causes inflammation of the heart muscle, which can weaken the organ and its electrical system. It affects the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain and irregular heartbeat.

Cabrera Adames was only 28 at the time of his death. He was diagnosed with myocarditis in 2021 when he collapsed during a basketball game in Spain. It should also be noted that it's unclear if the stress test had led to the heart attack.

After Cabrera Adames' death, several social posts on Instagram where the player was blaming the COVID-19 vaccine for developing myocarditis. Cabrera Adames had to get vaccinated to travel to Spain and work as a pro basketball player.

"I got a damn Myocarditis from putting a fucking vaccine," Cabrera Adames wrote on Facebook in 2021. "I got 2 doses of Pfizer, and I knew it. Many people warned me. But guess what? It was compulsory, or I couldn't work. I am an international professional athlete, and I am playing in Spain.

"I have no health problem, nothing, not hereditary, no asthma, NOTHING! I suddenly collapsed to the ground in the middle of a match and almost died. I'm still recovering and I've had 11 different cardiology tests done and guess they find nothing.

"I have no cholesterol, no fat, nothing! 7% body fat 93% muscle. When they give me the diagnosis, they tell me that I won't be able to play for at least 5 months until my heart goes down again, and they can't give me that medicine." (h/t _aussie17/Twitter)

Fans on social media began pointing out the COVID-19 vaccine as the main cause of Oscar Cabrera Adames' death. Some are suggesting that the vaccine was the reason why he developed myocarditis. One fan even said that no healthy 28-year-old athlete should be suffering from a disease like it:

"This shouldn't be happening to healthy 28-year-olds!"

Did COVID-19 vaccine cause myocarditis suffered by Oscar Cabrera Adames?

Oscar Cabrera Adames got vaccinated with Pfizer.

Myocarditis is a rare heart disease, but it has been associated with COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.

There are very rare instances where people with COVID-19 also develop the disease. It's also a rare side effect of COVID-19 vaccines made with mRNA, as per the UK's National Health Service. However, it cannot be said for certain in Oscar Cabrera Adames' case.
