Shane Warne’s son has blamed the cricket legend’s death in 2022 on his ‘forced’ Covid vaccine, which he believes triggered his fatal heart attack.
Warne died aged 52 while on a ‘lads’ holiday’ on the tropical Thai island of Koh Samui.
The post-mortem examination determined that playboy Warne, known for his love of gambling and partying, died of ‘natural causes’ and that he suffered from congenital heart weakness. It also ruled out any foul play.
A police officer later revealed that he was forced to remove a super strong sex drug called Kamagra found near Warne’s body, as exclusively reported by the Daily Mail.
Now his son Jackson, 26, has hit out at the government for mandating Covid-19 vaccines for sports stars, claiming that his dad’s jabs brought underlying health issues to the fore.
Do you think the Covid shot killed your dad, he was asked?
‘I definitely think that it was involved. I don’t even think saying that is controversial anymore,’ he told the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast.
‘Even if dad had underlying health issues, I think this brought it straight to the surface.
‘My first impression, as soon as I hung up the phone, I instantly blamed the government. I instantly blamed Covid and the vaccine.’
‘Doing things like the state memorial, where that’s funded by Vic Gov and the MCG and there has to be certain due diligence and people in the crowds have to get photos and all that stuff, I felt really uncomfortable.
‘At the state memorial, I nearly said I blame the government and Covid, but I didn’t. It was probably smart I didn’t – I’d be in a very different position if I did.
‘But that was how I felt. Even the last three or four years, I have not changed my tune.
‘At the end of the day, we’ll never know. The autopsy is online. I know what happened to him.
‘Dad, at the time, was healthy, he was happy. He looked the best he had in a while. Yes, he smoked and drank, but how many more people in their 80s and 90s still smoke and drink a lot more than dad?
‘Yes, a lot of people were dying of heart attacks before. But dad was ok, I think he might have got three or four [vaccine jabs], he didn’t want to get them, he was forced to get them for work.
‘He was forced to get them like everybody else. Dad wasn’t the only person. When dad passed, he was probably the most famous Australian that people could go, “yep, that’s Covid,” but I try not to think about it too much because all that does is fester into anger. That anger is not good for anybody.’
He added: ‘If something comes out like this again, at least we’re more awake, at least we’re more aware. If dad had underlying health issues, maybe he was going to have a heart attack at 65, 70, but I think this just brought it all to the surface.’
Vaccines are only approved for widespread use after rigorous tests.
The British Heart Foundation claims there is actually evidence that Covid-19 vaccines are ‘associated with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke’.
That may be because Covid-19 is linked to a higher risk of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes by blocking blood supply to the heart or brain.
Warne’s family told authorities he was suffering health problems before travelling, including troubles with his asthma and chest pains.
He’d also completed a 14-day ‘extreme’ liquid diet in an attempt to slim down in the days before his death.
Thai officials agreed Warne’s death was not suspicious, and noted no alcohol or cigarettes were found inside the luxury villa where he was staying.
Thai police revealed on Saturday that they found his room splattered with bloodstains from the prolonged CPR but ruled out foul play.
Two pools of blood were found on the carpet at the foot of Warne’s bed as well as three blood-stained towels, and one pillow, with blood stains also on the mattress.
Ambulance crews also reported a pool of vomit by the bed.
He had ordered two masseuses to his hotel room on the day he died.
Since his death, the Shane Warne Legacy Foundation has been working to raise awareness of cardiac health risks among Australians.
As part of their endeavours to honour the Australian cricket great, The Shane Warne Legacy Foundation offers free health checks, which can identify whether a person has an increased risk of Type Two diabetes or is at increased risk of heart complications.
The organisation states that it has facilitated more than 450,000 health checks since its inception.
