A second study offered more data that the now-annual shots are not linked to sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death in young #athletes—a claim that gained traction on social media and among anti-vaccine groups during the acute phase of the pandemic.

I just watched the #movie #September5 (2024) about the death of 11 #Israeli #athletes killed in terrorist hostage taking that went wrong at the 1972 #Munich #Olympics.
According to #Fandango, the movie is already out of the theaters & is only available to be streamed.
It plays like an documentary. Very little live footage is shown because #ABC the only network to cover the event as it occurred really had no access beyond distant shots & on the scene reporting.
So, the movie is mainly about the behind the scenes event of the ABC Sports team taking over the reporting of a major political event -- the things they got right & the things they got wrong in the process -- & it is more interesting from this #TV #journalistic perspective than any other.
I'd give it a 6 out of 10 but it's not going on my DVD buy list.
