VideoJackson Warne, son of cricket legend Shane Warne, discusses his belief that COVID-19 vaccinations were involved in his father's sudden death in Thailand.

Cricketing great Shane Warne’s son claims his father was killed as a result of the government-mandated COVID-19 vaccinations.

Warne, who was found dead in a Thailand villa in 2022 after suffering a huge heart attack, was found to have died from “natural causes”, according to a post-mortem.

Controversy surrounded his death after it was alleged that Thai police removed drugs from the hotel room scene.

He was found to have traces of Viagra and Kamagra (an unlicensed erectile dysfunction drug) in his system.

Appearing on 2 Worlds Collide, Warne’s son Jackson spoke to podcast host and former army veteran Sam Bamford about a range of topics, including his father’s death.

“I’m going to ask you directly, straight out — do you think that the COVID shot killed your dad?,” Bamford asked.

“I definitely think it was involved and I don’t even think it’s controversial saying that anymore,” Warne replied.

“Even if Dad had underlying health issues, I think that brought it straight to the surface.

“That’s one thing I’ve always struggled with. My first impression, as soon as I hung up the phone — I instantly blamed the Government, I instantly blamed COVID and the vaccine.”

He went on to say he felt “really uncomfortable” at his father’s State memorial, which was funded by the Victorian Government.

“And at the State memorial I nearly actually said ‘I blame the Government, I blame COVID’, but I didn’t,” Warne said.

He admitted it was “probably smart” that he didn’t make that statement then, but he said, “that was how I felt”.

“Obviously, at the end of the day, we’ll never know,” he said.

“The autopsy’s there and people can go online and look at it, and I know what’s happened to him.

“But dad, at the time, he was happy. He actually looked the best he had looked in a while. Yes, he smoked and he drank, but how many more people in the ‘80s and ‘90s still smoke and drink? A lot more than Dad.”

Warne conceded “a lot of people” were dying of heart attacks before COVID.

“Dad, I think he might have got three or four (vaccinations),” he said.

“I know he didn’t want to get them, he was forced to get them for work. He was forced to get them like everybody else.

“I try not to think about it too much because all that does is fester into more anger and anger, and that anger isn’t good for anybody.

“What we’re trying to do now with the Shane Warne Legacy is actually spread as much awareness for heart health as possible.”

Reflecting on his dad’s death, Warne said he didn’t want people to “get the same phone call” the Warne family did.

“I think a lot of people have realised now that there is nothing we can do for the people who are vaccinated — the only alternative is actually to become the healthiest version of ourselves,” he said.

“Even if ... Dad had underlying health issues I think all this just brought it to the surface. It’s been over four years now. Dad wasn’t the only person.”

Shane Warne is considered by many to be the greatest spin bowler in cricket history.

He took 708 wickets across 145 Test appearances for Australia.
