Remembering Caleb White

Pinson Mayor Joe Cochran said that he was heartbroken that Caleb White died. 

He said that there are no words that can comfort the HS basketball star's family, as well as the community after the young man lost his life. 

"I was honored to know Caleb personally and loved the spirit he carried. Life is fleeting. Enjoy every day as the treasure it is. I know Caleb did," the mayor added.

White's Death Creates Conspiracies

SporstKeeda reported that the sudden death of Caleb White stirred up vaccine conspiracies. 

Some anti-vaxxers said that the high-school basketball player died because of the adverse side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. 

A Twitter (now X) user named David Hatton said that the negative effects of COVID-19 vaccines are mostly affecting athletes and children because they are more active. 

He even suggested watching the "Die Suddenly" movie so that people will understand his opinion. 

Aside from these, other anti-vaxxers also believe that athletes received the special batch of COVID-19 vaccines, which they claim Kyrie Irving already knew about.  

But, it is important to remember that the claims of anti-vaxxers are not proven by any concrete evidence. 

As of writing, the death of Caleb White is still under investigation. Authorities said that the autopsy's results will soon be released.
