Millions have had side effects. My thigh gets spasms to this day from the Pfizer jabs. I have had emotional conversations with others who are experiencing similiar issues. Don't be ignorant.

This is a misleading statement, and I think it is inappropriate to conclude that Bronny James' cardiac arrest is due to the COVID-19 vaccine. Usually, these cases are caused by undiagnosed genetic problems to the heart.

It is possible that COVID-19 vaccine may indirectly increase chances of cardiac arrest. Myocarditis is the only adverse cardiac symptom observed with the COVID-19 vaccine. It causes inflammation of the heart muscle. In a severe case, the damage done to the heart muscle can cause the heart to stop working and a person may die due to sudden cardiac arrest.

However, it is important to note that many viral illnesses, from COVID-19 to the common cold and flu, all carry the risk of myocarditis as well, higher than the vaccine itself (though still rare). For example, a study looking into rates of myocarditis found that the risk of myocarditis from the COVID-19 virus was "more than seven times higher" than obtaining it from the COVID-19 vaccine. Also, it is hard to prove that the COVID-19 vaccine actually caused myocarditis (causation), most of these studies are only able to show a correlative impact. People don't take vaccines in isolation, they are constantly exposed to viruses and it is difficult to prove that the vaccine itself as opposed to other viruses one was coincidentally exposed to at the same time caused their inflammation.

Given the rates of myocarditis being substantially higher from COVID-19 than the vaccine itself, if I was an athlete competitively playing like James and wanted to limit my chance of cardiac diseases (ignoring other benefits/risks of covid-19/vaccine for simplicity here) during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, I think it would make sense to take the vaccine as opposed to naturally getting sick with COVID-19. This is because, as shown above, the chance of getting myocarditis from a non-live mRNA virus is much less than an active infection. Also not discussed here, COVID-19 can also cause other effects to the heart such as blood clots, atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia, etc not typically caused by these mRNA vaccines.

Now, even if one obtains myocarditis, it typically presents with symptoms, especially if it is severe. The person in question here has no reported symptoms. Additionally, it has been two years since the initial rollout of vaccines. Myocarditis typically presents itself within the following weeks after infection, not years later. Even if his myocarditis was somehow asymptomatic until it caused cardiac death, doctors would now find that his heart is inflamed and easily pinpoint the cause of myocarditis, and if released to the news, we should expect a news report in the coming days of a myocarditis diagnosis in this person. Absent of any evidence that this was myocarditis, there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccine itself could have caused this cardiac arrest. Even if the athlete is diagnosed with myocarditis, it is far more likely that it could have been caused by a common cold virus, COVID-19 virus, or flu virus than the vaccine itself. It's also important to note that myocarditis is extremely rare, whether it is from a virus or vaccine.

Usually cases where athletes suddenly have cardiac arrest are caused by undiagnosed genetic problems to the heart which aren't found during regular checkups and don't present themselves until it causes death/fainting. Also, since athletes exert themselves more than the general population, an athlete with an undiagnosed heart condition is far more likely to get cardiac arrest than a similar undiagnosed person in the general population, which would explain why such cases are more noticed among competitive athletes.
