    Risk of playing Kabaddi: 1. Physical injuries (sprains, fractures, bruises). 2. Concussions from collisions. 3. Respiratory issues due to breath-holding. 4. Skin abrasions, cuts, and burns. 5. Overuse injuries (tendonitis, stress fractures). 6. Sprains and strains. 7. Dislocated joints (fingers, shoulders, elbows). 8. Fatigue and dehydration.

    The risks mentioned are part of any games which have physical contacts with opponents like football, rugby and hockey too. Cricket has its own risk factors despite protective gears and technology to limit the risks. I have played Kabaddi, cricket, badminton, table tennis and volleyball until my college days and had enjoyed them all with a few injuries. Cricket with hardball without helmets was an adrenaline pumping challenge to face the quicks in those days but quick reflexes and feet movement and ducking were perfected in those days. Sports always was challenging and we accepted it as show of guts and grit not flinching away from opponents to earn admiration and recognition youth always enjoy.

    Many doctors and scientists had warned about this in 2020 itself, but were sensored, deleted and banned by paid media for they too had invested in vaccine industries. Their warning about blood clots causing cardiac arrest, strokes and Turbo Cancers caused by compromised immune system is unfolding daily. They had predicted this to continue for a decade or more. Rest in peace until all mandatory perpetrators are brought to justice we wish.

    RIP! VITTS is responsible for sudden deaths in people who had taken the jab; with both the incumbent president & Musk having being against this jab, there's possibility that they might order reinvestgation into the entire process of how the jab was put into the market in such a short period of time!
