SEPTEMBER 12, 2023. Professional cyclist Nathan Van Hooydonck, part of the Jumbo-Visma team that won the 2023 Tour de France, was driving his car when he suddenly and unexpected had a severe heart attack, causing him to crash into several other cars.

He immediately received CPR, thanks in big part because his attack happened in front a police station. He now has an implanted defibrillator and has been forced to retire from cycling.

The last time he had a thorough medical check-up was in December 2022. He was in perfect health and had no cardiac issues whatsoever, including at all previous examinations.

However, within a few months, his right cardiac ventricle became significantly enlarged, which caused his cardiac arrhythmia.

Van Hooydonck remarks on the striking of an ever faster race tempo and more riders having forced retirements due to cardiac issues.

This must be the root cause. Professional riders have ALWAYS pushed themselves to the limit and the tempo has at most increased very GRADUALLY, but a SUDDEN and SIGNIFICANT increase in cardiac arrests is due to higher intensity.

Elite endurance exercise never used to cause anywhere near the post-2020 rate of cardiovascular issues, but now it suddenly does. #ABV: Anything But the ‘Vaccine’

Of course neither the video nor the accompanying article discusses the nearly untested and never before used medically unsafe and counter-effective mass-administered injections.
