It is a rather rare scene that took place under the cameras last weekend, on the New York side. While the prestigious marathon hosted each year by the American city was in full swing, the leader of the race collapsed about ten kilometers from the finish. 24-year-old Brazilian Daniel do Nascimento was up by nearly two minutes when he found himself on the ground, unable to continue on his way.
Images of his fall have been widely reported, both in the media and on social networks, a failure that has given rise to multiple theories. Without delay, some have accused Covid-19 vaccines of being responsible for this physical problem. An explanation put forward by the antitivax activists, but which clashes with a number of elements. Furthermore, we note, looking more closely at the athlete’s race, that he had been in trouble for several kilometers and that his pace foreshadowed a delicate race finish.
