LeBron James’ son, Bronny, suffered cardiac arrest on Monday while working out at the University of Southern California (USC) and was rushed to the ICU. Thankfully, he's now out of the hospital and is in stable condition, but it's still unclear what the cause of this situation was.
However, many online users have suggested that because Bronny took the COVID-19 vaccine, he might have suffered the effects of it just now.
No one more prominent than "X" CEO Elon Musk subscribed to this theory, saying that while it can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this point whether the vaccine had anything to do with it, he believes it can’t be disproven, either.
We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing.

Myocarditis is a known side-effect. The only question is whether it is rare or common.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) Founder Charlie Kirk also tweeted out his support for this theory, including an article that suggested that young adults are suffering more instances of heart sickness since the beginning of the pandemic.
This is my Bronny James tweet. Nothing to see, no questions to ask.https://t.co/NTHIqdYx5W

OutKick contributor Charly Arnolt, Rogan O’Handley (who runs the Twitter account “DC_Draino”) and “The Benny Show” host Benny Johnson all voiced their agreement with Musk’s viewpoint as well.
Naturally, there was a strong contingent of Twitter users who also responded by saying that it's unlikely that Musk’s hypothesis is correct, since not everyone who gets the vaccine experiences significant heart failure after taking it. But in an age where “conspiracy theorists” are often proven correct despite media and progressive mob backlash, one has to wonder if the "X" CEO is on to something.
