On January 2nd, during the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after tackling wide receiver Tee Higgins and required immediate emergency medical attention. What initially appeared to be a minor fall, quickly escalated as the game was suspended and CPR was administered to Hamlin. The suspension of the game and the limited information regarding Hamlin’s recovery has sparked various speculations and leading the charge in spreading these rumors is MLB veteran and former New York Mets World Champion, Lenny Dykstra.

In the aftermath of Damar Hamlin’s collapse, Lenny Dykstra has made some accusations questioning the vaccine’s involvement in the incident. Furthermore, the former outfielder has gone as far as to suggest that the Bills’ safety has passed away and that his supposed presence at the Bengals-Bills Divisional finals, as per Dykstra’s claims, was a fabrication.

The NFL faked his injury for a money scheme and to shut down the narrative. That’s why they refuse to show his face. Wake. Up.” While another included, Why Damar Hamlin the only person wearing a hoodie on, obstructing his face, in EVERY video, lol. These ppl are hilarious but evil.”
