“OUR WHOLE FAMILY WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS UPCOMING SENIOR SEASON AND AFTERWARDS, PLAYING FOR A D-1 SCHOOL AND THEN PERHAPS THE NBA. BUT…..IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE.

“YOU SEE, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS ON TIME, BECAUSE GOD WOULDN’T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN, IF IT WASN’T ON TIME. AND SO IT WAS WITH CALEB.

“WE ALL HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GOD, ONE THAT YOU CAN’T RESCHEDULE. SO WE MUST STAY READY, BECAUSE YOU WON’T HAVE TIME TO GET READY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MY FAMILY.”

The 6-feet tall rising senior was a first-team all-state player for his Pinson Valley team and was one of three finalists for Class 6A player of the year as a junior, according to the Alabama High School Athletic Association.

Caleb was the No. 3 player in the state and No. 43 in the country, according to rankings by ESPN.

May he rest in peace.

Caleb White vaccine

On Twitter, social media users have exploded in rage, blaming the COVID vaccine for the death of Caleb White.

Recently, when Bronny James suffered a similar incident whilst training, the same issues were raised and now netizens are enraged at the vaccine and pointing towards it as a culprit for what happened to Caleb White too.

“I’m sure he was vaccinated #AnotherOne,” Twitter user jonboy(@jonboy79788314) fumed.

It should be noted that it is not clear if Caleb White had received the vaccine or not.

His cause of death has also not been revealed but AL.com reports an autopsy would be conducted on him Friday.

After the tragic incident, the principal of Pinson Valley High School Michael Turner released a statement shared with parents.

“I unfortunately have some very sad news to report tonight,’ Turner wrote. ‘One of our senior students suffered a medical emergency at school today. Life saving efforts were immediately started and first responders were called.

‘Sadly, the student was later pronounced deceased after being transported to the hospital. Out of respect for the family, we are not releasing the name of the student at this time,’ he said.

‘We will have more to say in the near future. Please know counseling resources will be available for anyone who needs them in the coming days. Please keep the student’s family and our school in your prayers.’

Meanwhile, whilst the covid vaccine takes a beating over its alleged role in the death of Caleb White, authorities say cases of a new COVID-19 variant are rising, according to CNN.

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the EG.5 variant now accounts for about 17% of COVID-19 cases in the United States. The new variant is closely related to the XBB variants and also part of the omicron family,” the report states.

“EG.5 appears to cause similar symptoms to its predecessors. These symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, muscle aches and headache.

“Experts have mixed opinions on just how fast EG.5 will spread. Some believe there won’t be a surge while others are anticipating widespread infections,” the report says.

Was Caleb White vaccinated?

As online worries continue to mount over what role a covid vaccine may have played in the death of Caleb White, many people are wondering – was Caleb White vaccinated?

Whatever his Caleb White’s vaccination status, it has yet to be publicly released.

Instagram

Caleb does not appear to have used an Instagram account whilst alive.

However, an Instagram user who said she was the mom of Caleb White, Charlette Vanadoe White, addressed speculations over his death involving something else such as a vaccine.

“I am the mom of this young man and I appreciate the well wishes from some of you. This is not a time to speculate on anything else.

“Who was Caleb?… A smart, witty, fun loving student athlete, son, brother , friend, teammate, etc who would give his last to those who needed it.

“No energy drinks, supplements, drugs, etc. Thank you #TMZ for featuring him,” she wrote as TMZ reported on the young man’s death.

Bronny James

As mentioned earlier, speculation about the death of Caleb White involving the vaccine mirrors something that occured when Bronny James, the son of NBA legend Lebron, also recently collapsed whilst working out.

So what happened to Bronny?

CBS sports reports: On the morning of July 24, USC freshman guard Bronny James, LeBron James’ eldest son and one of the most well-known college athletes in the world, suffered sudden cardiac arrest during a practice on the Trojans campus and was transported to Cedars-Sinai Hospital. James was taken under care in the hospital’s intensive care unit where he was stabilized, and he was subsequently discharged days later.

The frightening episode marks the second cardiac event in as many years for a USC freshman after former five-star Vincent Iwuchukwu also suffered cardiac arrest in preseason training with the Trojans.

James collapsed on the court during a practice with USC on July 24 and was initially treated at the team’s facility. The Los Angeles Fire Department received a call for medical aid just before 9:30 a.m. shortly after the incident and he was taken to Cedars-Sinai.

“Listen to me, OK, get an ambulance here – now,” an unidentified caller could be heard telling a dispatcher on the since-released 911 call.

The caller indicated that neither a doctor nor a nurse was on site at the time he collapsed, though Cedars-Sinai in a subsequent statement said James was treated by USC medical staff on site.

James was expected to be a key piece for USC this season as one of the high-profile prospect additions of its No. 3-ranked incoming recruiting class. He’s a potential one-and-done talent with lottery potential who has consistently proven on the grassroots circuit that he can be a high-level role player and immediately impactful college player.

Like Caleb White, many social media users insisted the covid vaccine playeda role in what happened to Bronny, but no official has addressed these growing concerns about the vaccine having a link to all these recent collapses.
