On January 2nd, during the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after tackling wide receiver Tee Higgins and required immediate emergency medical attention. What initially appeared to be a minor fall, quickly escalated as the game was suspended and CPR was administered to Hamlin. The suspension of the game and the limited information regarding Hamlin’s recovery has sparked various speculations and leading the charge in spreading these rumors is MLB veteran and former New York Mets World Champion, Lenny Dykstra.
In the aftermath of Damar Hamlin’s collapse, Lenny Dykstra has made some accusations questioning the vaccine’s involvement in the incident. Furthermore, the former outfielder has gone as far as to suggest that the Bills’ safety has passed away and that his supposed presence at the Bengals-Bills Divisional finals, as per Dykstra’s claims, was a fabrication.

Since the early hours of last night, Dykstra has been actively posting about the questionable appearance of Damar Hamlin, with his initial concern being the lack of clear images or videos of Hamlin’s face from the evening.

“WTF,” captioned Dykstra while uploading a blurry image of Damar Hamlin, from a surfaced video where he waves at the camera, and makes a heart using his fingers.
In addition to this, the three-time All-Star has spent long hours retweeting outrageous claims about Damar Hamlin. One of Dykstra’s retweets included, “Damar Hamlin died from the vaccine. The NFL faked his injury for a money scheme and to shut down the narrative. That’s why they refuse to show his face. Wake. Up.” While another included, “Why Damar Hamlin the only person wearing a hoodie on, obstructing his face, in EVERY video, lol. These ppl are hilarious but evil.”
Are Dykstra’s fans backing his bold claims?
Ever since the injury, Lenny Dykstra has spent long hours talking about the vaccine’s purported role in Hamlin’s injury. The 1986 Mets World Champion has received immense support from his fans. Similarly, even this time, fans seconded his thoughts.
This is how they reacted:
Oh, that was Damar. You could tell by the hoodie and the hand gesture. Never mind the bad focus. You just have to believe that was Damar and don't question the science!

No interview or anything either. At least I didn't see one where they talked to him…really crazy how this is looking like some shady cover-up

Idk man. I don’t think that’s him. Granted, I wouldn’t recognize him if I walked right by him. But the point remains the same, that’s not him.

Shady as hell…and are we ever going to hear from the doctors as to the cause of his cardiac arrest.

Until we see the face or an interview, we have every reason to believe it’s not him. If he’s good enough to go to a game, he’s good enough for an interview.
