Shane Warne's son, Jackson Warne, has claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine contributed to the Australian cricket icon's death from a heart attack at age 52. Warne died in March 2022 while on holiday in Koh Samui, Thailand. A post-mortem concluded he died of a congenital disease, with no signs of foul play.
In a podcast interview, Jackson Warne stated: 'I definitely think that it was involved. I don't even think saying that is controversial anymore. Even if dad had underlying health issues, I think this brought it straight to the surface.' He added that his first reaction was to blame the government and the vaccine.
Jackson revealed that Warne had received three or four vaccine jabs, which he was 'forced to get for work'. He said: 'Dad, at the time, was healthy, he was happy. He looked the best he had in a while. Yes, he smoked and drank, but how many more people in their 80s and 90s still smoke and drink a lot more than dad?'
Jackson also expressed discomfort at the state memorial, funded by the Victorian Government, saying he nearly blamed the government and COVID publicly but refrained. He noted: 'At the end of the day, we'll never know. The autopsy is online. I know what happened to him.'
Thai police initially reported no suspicious circumstances, though a senior officer later claimed that a sex drug, Kamagra, was found near Warne's body but removed on orders from above. Jackson's comments have reignited debate about vaccine safety, though medical experts maintain that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
