Former NFL star blasted for wild vaccine conspiracy theory
Story by Kevin Harrish • Yesterday 1:21 PM
Former NFL wide receiver Golden Tate is no longer in the league after spending 10 seasons in the NFL with five different teams, but that’s not stopping him from making headlines in the sports world for some unfortunate reasons.
Early Thursday morning, Golden Tate shared quite a controversial Tweet in which he urged people to watch a documentary called Died Suddenly which pushes an anti-vaccine conspiracy theory.
“I would HIGHLY HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE to check out #DiedSuddenlydocumentary .Im really anxious to hear the perspectives of pro vax doctors,embalmers and any professional with data to combat these jaw dropping stats mentioned in Died Suddenly.Watching it FOR SURE has me shook!,” Tate said in a Tweet.
Tate did not specifically connect his Tweet to the terrifying situation regarding Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who collapsed on the field during Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals and required CPR. However, the timing of his Tweet suggests he may be subtly trying to draw a connection to Hamlin, especially considering the concerning number of people trying to link the vaccine to Hamlin’s collapse on the field.
Regardless of whether he intended to connect the documentary to Hamlin’s situation, Tate was absolutely blasted for his conspiracy theory.
