Twitter slammed after reporting COVID vaccine death obituary as ‘misleading’

Twitter has been criticized for verifying the facts of the obituary of a Seattle mother who attributed her death to blood clots caused by the COVID-19 vaccine after being forced to get the vaccine due to state warrants “heavy”.

The online obituary of Jessica Berg Wilson, 37, who died on September 7, was called “misleading” by the social media giant over the weekend, according to Twitter users.

The fact-checking warning was deleted by Twitter on Monday morning in the wake of the backlash. Twitter did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on why the tag was removed.

The tribute, published by The Oregonian, said the mother of two died from “COVID-19 vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia” – a rare blood disease that can occur in some cases after the vaccine.

Wilson had “vehemently opposed” the vaccine because she was in good health, but finally gave in after Washington State made it mandatory for teachers and those who wish to volunteer in schools. , stated his obituary.

“In his mind, the known and unknown risks of the unproven vaccine were more of a threat,” the obituary read, adding that Wilson had no underlying health issues.

“In the last few weeks of his life, however, the world turned dark with tough vaccination mandates. Local and state governments were determined to take away his right to consult his wisdom and enjoy his freedom.

“Her passion to become actively involved in the education of her children – which included being a roommate – was, once again, blocked by a government mandate. In the end, those who closed the doors and separated mothers from their children prevailed. It cost Jessica her life. It cost her children the loving embrace of their caring mother. And it cost her husband the sacred love of his devoted wife.

Social media giant checked obituary after it was shared by a Twitter user kelly bee alongside a tweet that read, “Jessica Berg Wilson, an ‘exceptionally healthy and vibrant 37-year-old young mother with no underlying health issues,” died of COVID vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. She did not want to be vaccinated.

Twitter put a “misleading” tag on the tweet and included information on “why health officials consider COVID-19 vaccines safe for most people.”

The move was quickly criticized by critics, including US Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas), who tweeted: “This obituary is ‘misleading’ says Twitter. ‘For [on Twitter] we’re not afraid to follow the truth wherever it leads ”, unless of course that contradicts what Dr. Fauci or the enlightened government and tech overlords say you need to do for your health care.

“Twitter is now censoring obituaries,” Sean Davis, FDRLST, tweeted.

Tyler Cardon echoed this sentiment, Tweeter: “There is nothing inaccurate or misleading about this Tweet, but Twitter wants you to believe it.”
