Did They Just Make Up "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome" To Cover For Vaccine Deaths?

“Sudden Adult Death Sydrome” is trending on Twitter, apparently as a result of this article in the Mirror, which tells the tale of a very healthy 31 year-old suddenly dying in her sleep. The Mirror reports the cause of death has been put down to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome or SADS.

Twitter is reacting skeptically, as we’re being given another condition we’ve never heard of (before COVID vaccines were rolled out) that young healthy people are suddenly dying.

I'm not hearing many reports of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome occurring among the UNVACCINATED.

Friendly reminder: Sudden Adult Death Syndrome did not exist before December 2020. Guess what else didn't exist before December 2020.

I had never, ever heard the term “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” until today. I wonder if there’s a tyrannical, mismanaged response to a world event that has happened within the past two years that would lead to otherwise healthy adults just…dropping dead?

I’d never heard of this condition before today, so I thought I would do some research to see if it really exists and, if it does, whether it existed before COVID. This is what comes up with a Google search:

Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome or SADS is definitely a thing and has been since before COVID. It’s a condition used to account for death, usually in one’s sleep, of a heart attack with no known underlying heart condition. Here’s a story about a 16 year-old footballer who died in his sleep in 2018 and the cause of death was determined to be SADS. “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” is not normally used, but it is used in this article in BMJ Journals from 2006.

My conclusion is that “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” did exist before COVID but normally the abbreviation SADS stands for “Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome”. Still, given what we know about the increased death rates for working age people since the COVID vaccine roll-outs, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more sudden deaths among the vaccinated being attributed to this rare condition.
