Critics Slam Twitter Fact Check of Obituary Attributing Young Mother's Death to Vaccine

Twitter labels tweet on young mother's obituary as 'misleading'

Critics are slamming Twitter after the social media company fact checked an obituary of a young mother that attributed her death to a rare blood disorder induced by the coronavirus vaccine.

"This obituary is ‘misleading’ says Twitter. ‘For [on Twitter] we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead,’ unless of course it contradicts what Dr. Fauci or the enlightened government and tech overlords say you must do for your healthcare," Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy tweeted in response to the fact-checked obituary.

The fact check came after an unverified Twitter account posted a link to the obituary, accompanied by the caption: "Seattle, WA — Jessica Berg Wilson, an ‘exceptionally healthy and vibrant 37-year-old young mother with no underlying health conditions,’ passed away from COVID Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia. She did not want to get vaccinated."

I am fully vaxxed(pfizer), but why would twitter censor, an obituary?

Twitter is marxist.

I read in another article it’s the J and J shot. Women need to stay away from that shot.

The obituary is articulate and persuasive against what twitter holds.

This is very much a conscience issue that involves prudential judgments which will lead people to reach different conclusions because of differing circumstances and our procrustean state and culture can’t handle it.

As a Catholic, I am glad to see that she is a Catholic because the Church does provide support in a variety of ways from which she clearly has benefited, and I trust continues to benefit, but appropriate moral leadership during this crisis is not one of them. My own Bishop has been very good, but he is close to alone in this part of the world.

Far from defending conscience, Bishops are more likely to be pressuring priests in violation of conscience. Dark times.

He certainly nailed it.

Based on the telling mensrtual disruptions, young, healthy women should avoid the “vax.”

She did not want to get vaccinated.

Initially, she might've been hesitant, but eventually she chose to be vaccinated. Like all of us, she made a decision based on the information she had. She wanted to be a volunteer 'room mom' at her children's school. Her children are only 5 and 3. She didn't have to put them in school, but she probably decided the vaccine was safe enough, as it is for most people. Her death is tragic, as are all the deaths from the vaccine or covid itself, no matter whether the person chose to be vaxxed or not. We're all just trying to make the best decisions we can.

Nothing new here they have been doing this on FB and twitter for a long time. The Vaccine injury group was completely removed from FB. But not before they censored posts of personal experience and deaths.

Im sure that those who have no early response to any of the vaccines are not out of the woods
