We shouldn't see this many deaths between the ages of 35 to 60, given the limited sample size...should we?
Matt, you seem to be making a few different conflicting arguments. You started a thread about what you perceive as a link between bodybuilding and covid vaccine deaths.(As another poster pointed out, the assumption that all of those bodybuilders received the vaccine is probably not accurate.) Then after I pointed out that a lot of the deaths you listed were pretty clearly not vaccine related, you pivoted to bodybuilding in general not being healthy, which is something even professional bodybuilders don't claim. Then you claim the list might have some inaccuracies (presumably you compiled the list?), but that overall there are still more suspicious bodybuilder deaths this year than in previous years (in itself a dubious claim, but wildly specious when combined with the fact that at least half of the list is clearly not covid related.) Then you claim that it's suspicious that there aren't more bodybuilders near 70 who competed in the 90s, but as I said earlier, that's mainly because there were so few bodybuilders who competed in their 40s during the 90s. Even if every competitor from the 90s was alive today, the list of people who would be over 65 wouldn't be that long. Even now, it's still not very common even though there are more 40+ competing at a high level than there were in the 90s. Even in your follow up post, when you were listing bodybuilder deaths that were supposed to support your point, you only listed two dead bodybuilders that would be older than 60 if they were alive. (As for other old bodybuilders, I did a quick google search of various competitors in the Masters Olympias through the 90s and the majority are still living. Again, not arguing that professional bodybuilding doesn't have major health risks, but there isn't a shortage of older competitors who survived the 90s.)
As the board's unofficial Black Colombo, I have to say none of these pieces really add up to a convincing argument. It's a bunch of stuff that is mildly suspicious if you don't look too closely and don't try to form it into a coherent argument.
