'Died suddenly' posts twist tragedies to push vaccine lies
Channel 3000 News/AP ^ | February 4, 2023 | AP Staff

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.

There’s the 37-year-old Brazilian television host who collapsed live on air because of a congenital heart problem. The 18-year-old unvaccinated bull rider who died from a rare disease. The 32-year-old actress who died from bacterial infection complications.

The use of “died suddenly” — or a misspelled version of it — has surged more than 740% in tweets about vaccines over the past two months compared with the two previous months, the media intelligence firm Zignal Labs found in an analysis conducted for The Associated Press. The phrase’s explosion began with the late November debut of an online “documentary” by the same name, giving power to what experts say is a new and damaging shorthand.

"Some claims about those who’ve suffered heart issues also weaponize a kernel of truth — that COVID-19 vaccines can cause rare heart inflammation issues, myocarditis or pericarditis, especially in young men. Medical experts say these cases are typically mild and the benefits of immunization far outweigh the risks."

Not if it was YOUR kid that died for no reason!

Here's an idea, AP - how about you and all the other Enemy Media Pukes stop lying about this stuff in the first place! If you were perceived as a TRUTHFUL enterprise, no one would be questioning your agenda. It's not Rocket Science. Jerks.

Well said Diana. Wouldn’t be surprised if the media ramps the attacks on anti vaxxers. I bet they’d love to have control of Twitter back.

We will eventually learn about all the bribes to AP and other media operations related to vaccines.

Big Pharma plays for keeps.

The AP is certainly not a credible source of anything. Whatever they report, I assume it is a lie unless I can prove otherwise from reliable sources. And they are certainly lying here about the “vaccines.”

I will say that because the CDC and the NIH said that anyone who died from any cause, but could remotely be assumed to have had COVID, even from imagined exposure, dies of COVID, and all of our statistics are centered entirely around this incredibly perverse reasoning, until Biden became president, then they stopped the severe exaggeration.

Consequently, everyone who dies now should be assumed to have dies from the COVID-19 vaccine, if they were known to have had at least one vaccine.

I have absolutely no problems cramming made up statistics down the throats of anyone who pushed any of the faked COVID-19 statistics.

A friend of mine suffered a partial yet permanent loss of vision less than a week following a Pfizer booster. He has no (meaning none) pre existing health issues.

Aww, they’re trying to pull a 2021 on us. Too late, gang . . .

JFTR, AP’s website names the no-name authors as Ali Swenson and Angelo Fichera.

Saw a post earlier today on GETTR (reposted) .... father posting that his 19 yo daughter had just died of a heart attack ... he was devastated, said he was thinking about suicide himself.

In another discussion, someone opined that until it strikes some of these folks personally (death, stroke, severe heart damage, neurological damage), they’ll deny deny deny. Good luck with that ... from what I can see (among family, friends, acquaintances), it’s all accelerating.

Regardless did the vaccine exasperate the condition that led to sudden death?

Who cares?

Is anyone going back and re-figuring what the true Covid deaths were originally? Anyone that had any symptoms and died was counted as a Covid death, which is no less false than counting folks that have a congenital heart defect and were vax’ed collapsing on live TV as a vaccine death.

But where was the MSM pointing out how this was all overblown hype in 2019 and 2020? Nowhere to be found. They like a well trained dog took their marching orders, repeated the narrative, quoted BS statistics, printed speeches without questioning them... “winter of sickness and death” remember that?

If the author attempted to point out how BOTH sides have been full of crap, that could be objective. But only pointing out one sides defects amounts to a hit job intended to discredit one side and shows a bias by the author.

So, it takes time for autopsies. Wanna bet that our Media idiots will only report those autopsies that showed “other” causes than those of the Pfizer “stuff”?

Exactly. They don’t like it a bit when their tactics are used against them.

“Died suddenly’ posts twist tragedies to push vaccine lies”

No, it doesn’t. “Occam’s razor (also known as the ‘law of parsimony’) is a philosophical tool for ‘shaving off’ unlikely explanations. Essentially, when faced with competing explanations for the same phenomenon, the simplest is likely the correct one.”

As far as I know, there is no explanation for more people suddenly dying of pretty much the same thing than before COVID and the vaccine. The simplest explanation than is side effects of the vaccine, which to this date is still labeled experimental with no empirical data.

When it strikes them personally they will still deny deny that it was the clot shots.

Excess mortality did not arise during the WuFlu epidemic until shortly after the clot shots came into wide use. It is sill rising.

They want to give the benefit of a doubt to Covid Vaccines but if you were run over by a bus with covid, covid killed you.
