Inspiring beyond words. So many people seem extra red in the face like they are about to explode or something. And look, they are.

Nadal has since retired... hmmmmm....

Recall that NFL star player -- who played out the rest of the season after experiencing this https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34710679/arizona-cardinals-star-jj-watt-plays-26-16-victory-just-days-having-heart-procedure

Good for Djokovic. I have a young sports champ relative who fell for the con and took 3 jabs. Two days ago he told me he regreted it because he subsequently came down with covid 3 times. He seems fine, so far, and I sure do hope he stays that way.

A 20 year old top athlete getting full-body cramps? If that's not the jabs, hey, sell me some of what you're smoking, I'll resell it and buy myself a bridge in Nigeria.

Great research in this article! If only mainstream journalists did a quarter as much, sigh, they might see a connection or two.

Thanks! It was pretty easy with the help of NOTB Sports Injury Telegram channel. It's a chat channel run by the "Not On the Beeb" news website. If you come across sports injury stories and want to post them somewhere, then you can post them there. It's only been a few people mainly contributing -- and these are the ways it pays off.

It reminds me of Phyllis Mullenix's big contribution to the field of toxicology. She figured out that just by watching animals closely enough, with video and computers, then you could find out if they were exposed to a toxic event, and you could do so much quicker than with normal methods.

That's the advancement that led her to the toxicology department of Boston Children's hospital, where she was ordered to study the neurotoxicity of fluoride under the tutelage of a man who was one of America's biggest water fluoridation proponents even though he knew of it's potential neurotoxicity since he himself had written the study proposal for the research that Dr. Phyllis Mullenix would later carry out while he was the head toxicologist for the Manhattan Project, where he saw that workers exposed to fluoride exhibited neurotoxicity symptoms.

But that's another story. Long and short -- keeping an eye on things is a better service than we may think. It can expose toxic effects quite quickly, whereas other methods -- those proven to fail, because they take too long -- take too long.

Here's that Telegram channel if you want to check it out:

Thanks, man. I gotta admit, every so often I think about that, watching the ruddy-looking shotted moping around. There's a saying in my work circles: "That's how you move up." Cheers
