Elon Musk raised the possibility that the COVID vaccine may have contributed to USC star freshman Bronny James experiencing a cardiac arrest during a basketball workout in Los Angeles. Bronny James, the highly promising 18-year-old son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, lost consciousness during the incident but was revived and is now in stable condition at a Los Angeles-area hospital. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of Twitter, which he rebranded as “X,” tweeted about the incident, emphasizing that while everything cannot be attributed to the vaccine, it is also incorrect to dismiss any connection altogether. He acknowledged that myocarditis, a rare inflammatory condition affecting the heart, is a known side effect, but the question remains whether it is a rare or common occurrence.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports cases of myocarditis in adolescents and young males who received the mRNA vaccine for COVID-19. Based on CDC data, there were 635 cases of myocarditis out of 54.8 million vaccine doses administered to children aged 5 to 17 by May 2022. The CDC clarifies that any health issue following vaccination is considered an adverse event, which can be caused either by the vaccine or unrelated coincidental events.
LeBron James, in the past, has confirmed that his family has been vaccinated against COVID, but there is currently no evidence linking his son’s cardiac arrest to the vaccine.
The James family released a statement confirming the cardiac arrest incident and Bronny’s subsequent treatment and hospitalization. They requested privacy and expressed gratitude towards the medical and athletic staff at USC for their assistance. Bronny was rushed to the hospital after an emergency call was made from the Galen Center.
Bronny’s aspiration to play in the NBA alongside his father, LeBron James, remains unchanged. He was a highly-regarded recruit after his successful stint at Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles.
In conclusion, it is important to exercise caution in attributing Bronny James’ cardiac arrest solely to the COVID vaccine. While it is recognized that myocarditis is a potential side effect, further investigation is necessary to determine its rarity or prevalence.
