Elon Musk Suggests Bronny James Health Scare Related to COVID-19 Vaccine

NBA superstar LeBron James' son Bronny James recently suffered a cardiac arrest after a basketball practice held at the University of Southern California (USC).

The young cager was hospitalized and put in the intensive care unit (ICU) for further evaluation. At the moment, he's now in stable condition.

While Bronny is out of the woods now, Elon Musk believes that the COVID-19 vaccine is the culprit behind Bronny's unexpected cardiac arrest.

Elon Musk Believes COVID-19 Vaccine Caused Bronny's Cardiac Arrest

Elon Musk is not just the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. In fact, if you're closely following his actions on social media, he's also a frequent subject of conspiracy theory.

Back in September 2020, Musk claimed that neither he nor his family will get the COVID-19 vaccine because he was not at risk. At the time, he said that he was collaborating with the epidemiology team of Harvard University for the creation of CureVac led by Tesla.

Just this week, Musk ruled out that Bronny James' cardiac arrest was a potential side-effect of the COVID-19 vaccine, per The New York Post.

"We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing," Musk said.

While Musk claimed that myocarditis is a side-effect, he has no idea if it's happening commonly or rarely.

For those unfamiliar with this condition, it's a rare inflammatory condition that affects the person's heart.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that it is most common among young adult males. Some of them were given a mRA COVID-19 vaccine, according to the reports.

As of May 2022, the CDC noted that 635 cases of myocarditis were observed in children aged 5 to 17. At the time, 54.8 million doses of the vaccine were administered to young individuals.

The CDC added that it could be the case of an "adverse event." This means that it could be a "coincidental case" that is unrelated to the COVID vaccine.

Bronny James is Now in Stable Condition

In a statement to TMZ, LeBron James said that Bronny experienced cardiac arrest while practicing with his basketball team.

When the medical staff noticed that Bronny was unconscious, he was taken to the hospital immediately for treatment.

Right now, the James family asked the public for their privacy regarding the situation. More information will be shared with the media once a new update is available.

For LeBron, playing with his son is his biggest dream. He once said that it was one of his final goals before retiring from the NBA.

LeBron expects it to happen in his last year. He said that he won't be playing for money at that point.
