Deceptive athlete death claims from Pierre Kory and Goodsciencing

Dr Pierre Kory and a number of other antivaxxers have recently made some misleading claims regarding athlete deaths following vaccination, specifically in football (soccer) players. The misleading claims come from a website known as goodsciencing, which would be better named as badsciencing. In this video, Dr Susan Oliver and Cindy the pretend unicorn go back to the science and show that they lying about both the people who have died in the past and the people who are dying now. And they are also lying about their vaccine status. In the vast majority of cases, they have no evidence whether they were vaccinated or not.
