Snooker player Scott Donaldson forced out of World Championship qualifier due to health issue

Scott Donaldson was forced to withdraw from his World Championship qualification match with Ryan Day on Wednesday, suffering from a tremor which ended his hopes of competing.

Day was 4-0 ahead at the first interval, making a superb 146 break in the opening frame, but that is where the match ended as Donaldson conceded.

The Scot spoke last year of a tremor he had been suffering since taking the Covid vaccine, although it had cleared up by the 2022 World Championship.

However, it has returned, with shakes in his leg proving unbearable to play through.

‘I think he’s mentioned a tremor in his leg that’s coincided with the vaccine.

‘I started really well, made a 146, the third frame I noticed Scott get back up off the shot a couple of times. I thought he may have had an injury to his knee or ankle, but he explained it as this tremor that had disappeared for five months, but the pressure of the last match on Monday brought it back on and today it was there pretty much the entirety of the time we were playing….

Snooker player Ben Woollaston – two years of illness

While he says doctors have disagreed on the vaccine being the cause of the problem, he sees it as the obvious point of when he started struggling.

‘The first six months were horrendous, I was just at home, sleeping 18-20 hours a day,’ Woollaston told Metro.co.uk. ‘I couldn’t stand on my feet for more than a few minutes without feeling like I was going to pass out…

No Amnesty

Some Irish entries from 11:00. Vaccine poster-boy dies at 4 years (11:43).

Australian birth down 67%? (12:43)

Jessica Rose thought similarly. BUT…

…. within 24-hours her own peer-review process had informed her it could be a reporting lag. She analyses that possibility here, after saying:

It doesn’t help, but thank you for answering! It’s more than some ‘Bureaus’ do.

The point is that vital ABS1Australian Bureau of Statistics statistics are not up-to-date a full year following data capture.

This is not ok, especially in the face of many other countries reporting excessively low birth rates.2See here, for early examples.
