Like so many young celebrities and athletes who’ve been unexpectedly dropping dead around the world, Ferguson’s cause of his death is “unknown.”
While Ferguson’s COVID vaccination status is unknown (as it should be), many people around the world are questioning the stunning number of healthy teens and young adult athletes who received the COVID jab and later died unexpectedly.
On July 22, 2021, the NFL sent a strong message to its players regarding the COVID vaccine, letting them know that while they are not mandating that players accept the experimental jab, they would be severely punished by being held responsible for the financial losses a team would incur if they had to cancel a game over a COVID outbreak and that the NFL commissioner may also levy additional punitive actions.
Here’s more from today’s memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players/staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q86a2WcG1K
