Both arguments: commotio cordis and McRNA elide the fact that NFL pads are GETTING THINNER AND COVER LESS AREA to look sexier on TV. A thicker and wider coverage breast-plate pad on Damar Hamlin would distribute the jarring heart concussion over the entire upper body, and not provide a resultant threat on just the heart area. No question. Now go look at his pictures in uniform during the game, he's wearing the mini-bra style chest pads.
This entire RNA vs Commotio Cordis (which medical theory, i might add, surprisingly showed up on youtube propaganda channels, within 15 minutes(!) of Hamlin going down....i swear man, that's fast) distracts from an even more fundamental issue of padding.
Commotio Cordis sounds like a Hogwarts spell, to be followed by Perplexum Idiotus.

I read, at first as
"legions of mud-creatures, typing furiously from their foul blogs"
As ever, a skewering of TPTB with an expertly sharpened sense of sardony.
Haven't you heard? The elephant in the room died suddenly. 😢
Oh the irony
