Former American basketball star John Stockton claimed that “thousands” of professional athletes had died after receiving the Corona (Covid-19) vaccine, and that he “knew 150” of them.

Although Stockton is considered one of the legends of the Utah Jazz team in the NBA, and with Karl Maloney formed the glory of the team during his professional period from 1984 to 2003, he was famous for making bold and unscientific statements, the most recent of which was during an interview with American sports commentator Michelle Tafoya, when he claimed that He has evidence that “hundreds” if not “thousands” of professional athletes have died after being vaccinated against Corona.

Stockton said during the exciting podcast - which aired the interview - that he "knows 150 athletes who died from the vaccine. Professional athletes in the prime of their lives drop dead directly on the field of play."

"I think it's in the thousands now, but don't quote me. I'm not saying it's 1,000 or more, but it could be; it's a big number."

John Stockton now thinks 'thousands' of athletes may have died from the vaccine

“I had the proof in my hands, the piece of paper with the names…I think it's in the thousands now.

Don't quote me on that one, I'm not saying 1,000, but it might be.

It's a big number.”
