Conspiracy theorist spin a story, other conspiracy theorist believe it, a gaggle of conspiracy theorists tell each other it is true, conspiracy theorists make a video, conspiracy theorists are more convinced and they continue to try to recruit others to join their conspiracy theorist gaggle.

Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) conspiracy theorist
Anti-vaccine commentators and conservative politicians have been sharing a tabloid story about a medical condition that has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines. But they’re baselessly suggesting that there is a connection. Link
No, there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause ‘sudden adult death syndrome’ L:ink
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), also known as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, is a term for the sudden, unexpected death of adults by cardiac arrest, often used when an obvious cause of death cannot be found post-mortem. SADS was first documented in 1977, however, in June 2022, a conspiracy theory spread online claiming a purported rise in SADS in young people was linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. The conspiracy continued to spread in 2022, largely promoted by those in the anti-vaccination movement, particularly with coronavirus vaccines. Link
Covid-19 vaccines not linked to Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndromes Link
What was claimed - Deaths from Covid-19 vaccines are being miscategorised as deaths from “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”. Our verdict - There is no evidence for this. The designation of SADS significantly predates the pandemic. Link
There’s nothing new about sudden adult death syndrome Link
