‘I blame the COVID vaccine’: Shane Warne’s son makes shocking claim on father’s death
Four years after Shane Warne’s sudden death, his son Jackson Warne has suggested COVID-19 vaccines may have contributed, while acknowledging underlying health issues. Speaking on a podcast, he recalled his initial anger and belief that external pressures led to multiple doses, revisiting the circumstances surrounding the spin legend’s passing.
Four years after the sudden passing of Shane Warne, fresh comments from his son Jackson Warne have reignited discussion around the circumstances of the spin legend’s death. Warne, who died in Thailand in 2022 at the age of 52 following a heart attack, had left the cricketing world stunned with his unexpected demise. Speaking on the ‘2 Worlds Collide’ podcast, Jackson shared his belief that COVID-19 vaccinations may have played a role, while also acknowledging that his father had underlying health concerns.
"I definitely think that it (COVID vaccine) was involved. I don't even think saying that is controversial anymore. Even if dad had underlying health issues, I think this brought it out right to the surface and that's one thing that I've always struggled with," Jackson said.
He also revealed his immediate reaction upon hearing the news of Warne’s passing. "My first impression, as soon as I hung up the phone (after receiving the news of Warne's death), I instantly blamed the government. I instantly blamed COVID and the vaccine.
" Jackson admitted that he considered expressing these views publicly during the memorial service but ultimately chose not to. "It was probably smart I didn't, I would be in a very different position if I did. But that was how I felt," Jackson said.
