The 24-year-old is still recovering from a cardiac arrest he suffered against the Cincinnati Bengals ... unless you believe the conspiracy theorists.
But, no, Damar Hamlin did not die, and his body was not replaced by a clone.
Let that sentence sink in for a moment, and then consider that, yes, there are folks spreading this idea around the internet as we speak.But here we are with Snopes, a website that aims to debunk or prove all of the wild rumors and theories spread across social media,and the Bills now have a body double for him.
The Cincinnati Bengals show support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin before an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, in Cincinnati. Makes you miss the days of the alien conspiracy theories. Really, can we get back to that or some good ol’ Bigfoot tales? Someone in Pa., even said they saw one last year. Dive into that for a change.
Per Snopes, the rumor was that the Hamlin folks saw waving from a suite during Buffalo’s playoff game, really wasn’t Hamlin at all, but a clone or body double and that Hamlin had died from the COVID-19 vaccine. There has been no connection between Hamlin, the vaccine and his cardiac arrest on the field — after being struck in the chest by Bengals receiver Tee Higgins on a play — several weeks ago. There was a “doctor” who went on social media and claimed to have given Hamlin a booster.
