    In 2015, the NHL teams from Canada and the United States became concerned about the unusual number of blood clots in Hockey players.

    The first time I ever heard of a NHL Hockey player with a blood clot at a Chicago Blackhawks game. As a kid, my grandfather was visiting from South Dakota and took my brother and I to our first professional hockey game but my favorite player did not play because of treatment for blood clots. The blood clots formed the prior hockey game when he suffered an injury after being slammed against the boards.

    Regardless, the NHL has been concerned about the increasing number of blood clots among its players for several decades now. Only a person who's an informed hockey fan would know that blood clots in NHL players have been an issue for over +80 years since the NHL documented "Blood Clots" from 1937 when Howie Morenz of the Montreal Canadiens died from a blood clot at age 34 years old.

    Giant puppet at 2012 London Olympics ceremony is Lord Voldemort, not ‘death figure holding a needle’
    https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2SO2PH/

    Hundreds of users on social media are sharing the unfounded claim that the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony featured a “death figure holding a needle.” The puppet, however, was Lord Voldemort from the famous Harry Potter series, and he was holding a wand not a syringe.

    Users are also referring to this alleged figure to further make the baseless allegation that the event was a form of predictive programming ( here ) for the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination efforts, a notion that has been previously debunked by Reuters.

    “Remember the London Olympics 2012 opening ceremony, with the giant death figure holding a needle, the dancing nurses and all of the children in hospital beds? It's starting to make a lot more sense now, isn’t it? They have had this planned for a long time," part of a Facebook post reads here . Other iterations with the same claim can be seen here , here , here ).

    “This is sickening ! I didn't watch the Olympics in 2012. They always tell us what they're going to do before they do it,” one Facebook user commented. “Been planned for a long time.. and more to come,” another one wrote.

    It is not the first time misleading online claims have spread about the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Reuters addressed social media posts that similarly alleged the event had contained a symbolic ritual predicting the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 ( here ).

    The opening show, entitled ‘Isles of Wonder’, was designed by Oscar-winning film director Danny Boyle as an ode to British history and culture ( here ) . Boyle paid homage to the National Health System (NHS) and to British children’s literature ( here ) .

    It is not accurate to say one of the puppets displayed at the show was a “death body with a syringe,” as claimed by some users online.

    In fact, what users are pointing to is a puppet of famous wizard villain Lord Voldemort of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series ( here ). The figure is also viewable in a Reuters photo ( here ) with the caption, “A huge puppet character from the Harry Potter saga is pictured during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium.”

    A Reuters photograph here a closer look to the puppet and clearly shows the artifact in its hand is not a syringe but a wand. Video of the moment can be seen here ( youtu.be/4As0e4de-rI?t=3023 ) .

    It matches the shape of Lord Voldemort’s characteristic wand, viewable ( here ) .

    The character was among other literary villains created by British authors that made an appearance during the ceremony, including Cruella De Ville ( youtu.be/4As0e4de-rI?t=3020 ), Captain Hook ( youtu.be/4As0e4de-rI?t=2996 ) and the Queen of Hearts ( bit.ly/3lx4teg ).

    VERDICT
    False. The London 2012 Olympics ceremony didn’t feature a “death figure holding a needle”. Social media users making this claim are pointing to a puppet representing Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort. The show paid homage to British national health system and British children’s literature.

    "Conclusions: We identified a very strong ecological and temporal association between excess cardiopulmonary arrest mortality and the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, which resulted in high vaccination rates. The biological plausibility of death from acute cardiac and pulmonary causes after COVID-19 vaccination has been previously demonstrated and is concerning given these real-world observations."

    "up to 90 percent of people who tested positive could actually have been negative"

    "The conclusion of their 34-page ruling included the following: “In view of current scientific evidence, this test shows itself to be unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.” "

    " It showed that if someone tested positive for Covid at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher, the chances of that person actually being infected is less than three percent, and that “the probability of… receiving a false positive is 97% or higher.”"
