In the wake of Damar Hamlin collapsing on the football field and suffering from cardiac arrest, there have been thousands of vaccine conspiracy theorists that have come out of the woodwork to state how the Buffalo Bills’ safety is just another casualty of the jab that millions of people have received around the globe.
Former NFL wide receiver Golden Tate is no longer in the league after spending 10 seasons in the NFL with five different teams, so now he is free to join those same type of people in those conspiray theories.
On Thursday, the former Seahawks and Lions WR took to Twitter to urge people to watch a documentary called Died Suddenly which pushes an anti-vaccine conspiracy theory.
“I would HIGHLY HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE to check out #DiedSuddenlydocumentary,” Golden Tate tweeted. “I’m really anxious to hear the perspectives of pro vax doctors, embalmers and any professional with data to combat these jaw dropping stats mentioned in Died Suddenly. Watching it FOR SURE has me shook!”
Tate did not connect his Tweet to the terrifying situation regarding Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, but it’s not hard to see why he would do it now and what he is trying to allude to with his message.
Tate was absolutely blasted for his conspiracy theory.

Tate, who has yet to officially retire from the NFL, played in 160 games with 695 receptions for 8,278 yards and 46 touchdowns.
Last June, he announced he was signing to play for the Port Angeles Lefties baseball team in the West Coast League, a summer collegiate league.
“I am extremely thankful to the West Coast League and the Port Angeles Lefties for allowing me to join their league,” Tate said in a league press release. “As some might know, I was drafted twice in baseball. As a child, my first love was baseball, so I’m excited about the opportunity to compete against some of the best young players in the league. I look forward to having a lot of fun and exploring baseball more.”
The 33-year-old wide receiver hasn’t played in the NFL since 2020 with the New York Giants, who he spent two seasons with.
