‘Died suddenly’ posts twist tragedies to push vaccine lies
AP ^ | February 4th, 2022 | ALi Swenson and Angelo Fichera

Results from 6-year-old Anastasia Weaver’s autopsy may take weeks. But online anti-vaccine activists needed only hours after her funeral this week to baselessly blame the COVID-19 vaccine.

A prolific Twitter account posted Anastasia’s name and smiling dance portrait in a tweet with a syringe emoji. A Facebook user messaged her mother, Jessica Day-Weaver, to call her a “murderer” for having her child vaccinated.

In reality, the Ohio kindergartner had experienced lifelong health problems since her premature birth, including epilepsy, asthma and frequent hospitalizations with respiratory viruses. “The doctors haven’t given us any information other than it was due to all of her chronic conditions. ... There was never a thought that it could be from the vaccine,” Day-Weaver said of her daughter’s death.

But those facts didn’t matter online, where Anastasia was swiftly added to a growing list of hundreds of children, teens, athletes and celebrities whose unexpected deaths and injuries have been incorrectly blamed on COVID-19 shots. Using the hashtag #diedsuddenly, online conspiracy theorists have flooded social media with news reports, obituaries and GoFundMe pages in recent months, leaving grieving families to wrestle with the lies.

“COVID-19 vaccines prevented nearly 2 million U.S. deaths in just their first year of use.”

What a truly scientific statement...

When this same biased media does a mea culpa for all their lies, wake me.

Until then, let them get hysterical over ‘twist’.

If the AP says it, you know it’s not only a lie, but they were instructed by their FBI handler to lie.

“COVID-19 vaccines prevented nearly 2 million U.S. deaths in just their first year of use.”

So why are there so many excess deaths after the vaccine was introduced?

In the case of the AP, they are the FBI

The article says because of the virus itself. In the UK, conservatives blame excess deaths on their lockdowns... only a very few, like Mark Steyn, blame the vaccines.

Beaudreaux and Thibodeaux both died suddenly last week.

Beaudreaux died after catching a swordfish in the gulf. He was taking a selfie when the swordfish flopped and sworded him in the groin.

Beaudreaux left a will stating he wanted to be buried at sea.
Thibedeaux drowned trying to bury him.

It also lacks critical thought. Just because a person has a preexisting condition doesn’t rule out they could have died from something else. Same level of critical thought should accompany our approach to this...

Covid wasn’t the “bio-weapon,” the injection was. How many of you took it and now live in trepidation?

When the media saw 85-year-old people with stage 4 lung cancer dying in nursing homes, they were quick to declare that “COVID killed ‘em”.

Payback time.

Prove the vaccines are harmless. Show us all the test results.

How about other adverse effects short of death? Are they being tracked and documented?

My wife had a third COVID booster and within ten days exhibited Parkinson’s type symptoms. It’s been a few months but the Parkinson’s meds are not effective, so it may be a form of dementia. Lots of doctor visits and still no answers.

So, I’m getting science lessons from folks who’d fail “Science for poets” classes in your local community college?

Journalism, when you’re so stupid even politics is beyond you.

"COVID-19 vaccines prevented nearly 2 million U.S. deaths in just their first year of use."

Prove it. And prove that masking has prevented a single infection or saved a single life.
