Pro-Vax Football Star Aguero, 33, Retires After Cardiac Issues on The Pitch

Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero, 33, is retiring early from football after suffering breathing difficulties in a game Oct. 30 that resulted from a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). The tearful Aguero announced his retirement in a press conference earlier today.

The cause of Aguero’s heart issue was not raised. It is known, however, that Aguero was pro-vaccine having done a TV commercial calling on all people aged 12+ to get vaccinated because it was their shared responsibility.
