A few weeks ago, we laughed at the hilarity of sports writer Grant Wahl discovering that Muslim nations don't approve of the LGBT religion.

Yesterday, the same Grant Wahl collapsed and died suddenly during a game at the World Cup:

The death of prominent journalist Grant Wahl at the World Cup in Qatar has led to an outpouring of shock and grief across the sports world, with NBA star LeBron James and tennis great Billie Jean King leading the tributes to the American.

Wahl died after collapsing while covering Friday's Argentina-Netherlands match. The circumstances around his death are unclear.

Unclear indeed.

A healthy American sports writer married to a prominent doctor just suddenly died in the middle of an international soccer game?

Qatar's World Cup organizers said on Saturday that Wahl "fell ill" in the press area, where he received "immediate medical treatment on site."

He was then transferred to Hamad General Hospital, said a spokesperson for the Supreme Court Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the body responsible for planning the tournament.

Wahl was treated in the stadium "for about 20-25 minutes" before he was moved to the hospital, Keir Radnedge, a columnist at World Soccer Magazine, told CNN Saturday.

"This was towards the end of extra time in the match. Suddenly, colleagues up to my left started shouting for medical assistance. Obviously, someone had collapsed. Because the chairs are freestanding, people were able to move the chairs, so it's possible to create a little bit of space around him," Radnedge said.

He added that the medical team were there "pretty quickly and were able to, as best they could, give treatment."

I know you don't want to hear the conspiracies, but goodness, how many more healthy people in their prime have to suddenly collapse and die before we ask what's causing this recent trend that was never heard of until about January 2021?

It's important to note that Wahl said he had bronchitis after catching a nasty bug at the World Cup, and visited a clinic for some meds:

"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."

Bronchitis can be serious, but in a 48-year-old man who was feeling recovered enough to be in the press box of a huge stadium... collapsing suddenly because of a bad cold is suspicious to say the least.

The conspiracies are already floating around – and no, not from the alt-right, but from the Left.

Wahl's brother, who is gay, believes Wahl was targeted and killed for supporting the LGBT religion.

I wouldn't be surprised if the media ran with this angle. A fit sports writer in his 40s died suddenly, collapsing in the middle of a crowd for no reason at all? The Muslims must have poisoned him for loving gay people! Putin is probably involved! Russian collusion!

Before we start going full conspiracy theory, why don't we look at some data points.

Everyone (on a certain side of the sociopolitical aisle) is shocked that this man suddenly collapsed.

But I see it daily in the headlines: Young, fit people just keeling over and dying for no given reason at all. I've lost track of how many people – especially men between 15 and 35 – have collapsed while working out or died in their sleep over the past year. The videos are especially haunting.

We need to be asking this question:

The people who are terrified of Covid blame this on Covid itself, saying that these random deaths are because of inflammation caused by the virus:

Perhaps there is some truth in their claims.

But the stories I hear are not from people sick with the 'Rona. They are healthy people at the peak of their game and they have no understandable cause of death.

You'd especially think our authoritarian leaders and partisan media would want to ramp up the fear of the virus if they had some data to back those claims up.

Instead, the people dying seem to have a common thread – posts proclaiming their faith in Pfizer like these:

Bodybuilder Doug Brignole died of a heart attack in October.

The media quickly came to claim he died from Covid itself to stop the "conspiracies," as if telling us one of the fittest men on the planet died from Covid after getting vaccinated was somehow a win.

The trend follows in Grant Wahl's case:

Wahl's wife posted this after his passing.

I'm not here to exploit grief.

And I'm not here to offer an official diagnosis or cause of death.

But Céline Gounder is more than a random doctor. She's one of the most preeminent infectious disease doctors who served on the president's Covid team.

I pray that Gounder uses her knowledge to push for the truth of what happened with her husband's death. If it was a massive heart attack like we've seen in so many recent sudden deaths, what would cause that in a healthy middle-aged man? If it was related to her cold, why was his immune system so compromised that he keeled over and died in the middle of a stadium? If it was murder, where is the evidence?

I'm confused as most of you probably are. These deaths are a tragedy, and I don't want to use them to push an agenda.

But I want answers.

I want the people in power and their friends in Big Pharma to be held to account by a media and a medical community that is totally disinterested in answering the question of these prominent sudden deaths because it might lead them to wrongthink.

With no serious research into what's happening, people shouldn't be surprised that we are increasingly distrusting experts and diving into internet documentaries like this, conspiratorial though they may be:
