Wonder if there’s something related to his NFL contract or such whereby he stands to lose a bunch of money if he talks. It’s all very sad. He could have just said he wasn’t sure or the drs didn’t come to a conclusion. It’s tragic, truly.

Interesting that they didn’t edit those questions out of the interview.

Yes! And that the interviewer even asked them. The truth wants to come out.

Or that they didn't edit them so the silence following them didn't seem SO suspiciously long

There are no "sides" in this whole pantomime. If anyone thinks there is a clear right verus left, you are being fooled. The media leads the public in whatever direction you lean toward. It's past time to see the bigger picture here. That interview was scripted for both sides, vaxxed and unvaxed, left and right. The chaos we are living in is part of the intiation process for spiritual evolution.

Maybe he's ethical enough that he doesn't want to lie, but not quite so ethical as to prevent his agreeing not to tell the truth.

Look at it from his perspective. The man probably can no longer play professional football and thus has no income in the foreseeable future. He was probably told that he would be responsible for all his own medical bills and that he would forfeit the rest of his contract if he spoke out against the vaccine or did anything other than what he is told. He does NOT appear happy about this situation. He seems like an ethical young man who has some thinking to do. Time will tell if he decides to come to the right way out of his predicament, which is always to tell the truth regardless of the consequences to himself (as it must seem).

Where are all the good doctors telling him he could be the one to blow the lid off this thing, speak for thousands of injured and abandoned people and become a REAL hero? For someone who claims to LOVE and yearns to give back to those who supported him - well, speaking out and walking away from potential hush money would be a good start.

I agree with your "philosophy", Jo--but this young man had a "bright" future ahead of him--NOW??? He'll be lucky if he can just enjoy a "semi-normal" life--PLUS the medical bills are going to be astronomical. No--he did what MOST people would do--THINK OF HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY--take the BRIBE and RUN!

I’m thinking he is trying to take care of his mom and family. They will get a pile of money if they stay quiet. It looks like he and they are still traumatized and grateful he is alive. None of them are happy, you can see it in their faces.

Hopefully their plan is to downsize their lives, take the money, retire and then talk. They have his non profit and CPR-promoting commercials for meaningful work.

Hope springs eternal.

I completely agree with you. He was likely threatened by the NFL that he won’t have healthcare if he speaks. He needs a lot of treatment right now. I doubt they will pay his salary ongoing but maybe they quietly settle in something.

Again, imagine how daunting it must feel to not have healthcare costs covered if you’re vaccine injured....and then realize there are thousands of people young and old in this exact situation. And you have the entire country transfixed on you - what an opportunity to be the voice for the voiceless and effect change. That sounds more like God’s plan to me. He’s a coward, straight up.

I do understand that calculation. I'm grateful I was retired from my job in Army medicine and public health well before I would have had to worry about losing my retirement pay for telling the truth. I'm grateful that SPC Michael New was the one in position to refuse to be placed under UN command instead of me, long ago, because I wasn't sure I'd have had the courage. (I was deployed in another theater at the time, which later came under UN command, but only well after I'd left. I breathed a sigh of relief.) But the people I *respect* are SPC New and those officers who have resigned before retirement rather than keep quiet in the face of destruction of the military - Marine Lt Col Stuart Scheller, over the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle; Air Force Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier, over Woke, Inc.; and Army LTC Paul Douglas Hague, over the injection mandate and also "the Marxist takeover of the military," along with those who, long ago, signed what was to become either the foundational document for a new country or their own death warrant, pledging "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." It's a pledge that doesn't just sound like hollow words in an old document, when one is faced with losing one or all of them. Yes, people may suffer financially, terribly, when they do the right thing, as have the outspoken physicians whose hospital privileges and medical licenses have been threatened and even removed, taking away their means of livelihood, too. However, the injections were just added to the U.S. Childhood Immunization Schedule. Many lives are at stake. If he has any inkling that his injury is causally associated with the injections, then *now* is the time to have the courage to speak out, trusting in God, though at a time when it is so difficult to do so. (Matthew 6:26-34.)

You speak from intimate experience with the military - this football player does not have the disciplined background that you have. Young people today have NO INKLING what it is to be DEPRIVED--they have been HANDED so many "things" without understanding the TRUE VALUE of ANYTHING. I see it everywhere in the millennials and Gen "Z"ers (BTW...doesn't the moniker "Z" denote the END of "generations"? I believe Jesus will be returning IMMINENTLY - I see so many predictors given to us in Scripture.

What are the chances that the doctors said it was from the vaccine? Any dr. saying that would have his/her career ended. Maybe they said myocarditis?

I believe 10 years from now (IF he lives that long) Damar will write a "tell all" book about it and make another $50 million off this horrid bioweapon.

For many reasons--he may go back to his "bribe partners" for more money so he doesn't "squeal"--and they'll call in Hilary's "fixers" to finish him off--sounds like a plot for a cheap crime drama--but it happens all too often in our corrupt governmental systems.

Right. Exactly.

And by the nature of his answers, and his very long pauses, he tells us what we need to know.

He is perhaps permanently disabled, certainly no longer able to play football, and needs to be able to provide for his ongoing medical care and family.

He is likely in a very difficult spot.

It’d be a shame if one of his family members spilled the beans.

He seems more traumatized to me, processing what his future will not be. I expect him to retire and do his charitable work full time, with some Red Cross CPR commercials for money.

He avoided the myocarditis issue unless the docs refuse to tell him. Pfizer, Fauci (still a gov employee or “consultant”) and other fraudsters are all over this.

There damn well is NOW! It's become the marriage made in Hell to an NFL player.

I guarantee it. Damar's a young player so there's definitely strong language in there about publicity, club and NFLPA image rights, licensing, and so on.

Doubtful, multiple players came out against the juice, including one of its biggest stars, Aaron Rodgers. This is a different kind of pressure.

There's a difference between the type of contract signed by a young player like Damar Hamlin and an established player like Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is represented by David Dunn who is a leading sports agent. I have no doubt that Rodgers has control over his image and what he can - and can't - say as a player. The same is probably true of Kyrie Irving. and even Tyler Bertuzzi of the Red Wings. That said, I have no doubt that their beliefs are sincere.
