Twitter has been chastised for labeling the obituary of a young American mother who died after getting a blood-clotting condition caused by the Covid-19 vaccination as “misleading.”
Jessica Berg Wilson, a “exceptionally healthy and vibrant 37-year-old young mother with no underlying health conditions,” died of COVID Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, according to Twitter user Kelly Bee. She was adamant about not getting vaccinated.’
The message was instantly marked as’misleading’ by Twitter’s censors, who included a link to an article on ‘why health professionals believe COVID-19 immunizations safe for most individuals.’ The tweet was also shadow banned, which meant that no one else could view or share it.
Wilson, a 37-year-old mother of two, died on September 7 from Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, a blood condition in which platelets are destroyed and blood cannot reach essential organs.
Dailymail.co.uk reports: Most critics were disgusted that Twitter was ‘censoring’ an obituary and reacting by encouraging their followers to help it go viral despite the company’s alert. Kelly Bee posted it Friday and Twitter has since removed the ‘misleading’ label and lifted the shadow ban. The tweet garnered 7,193 quote tweets, 4,167 retweets and 4,222 likes as of Sunday night.
After posting it Friday, Kelly Bee followed up with another tweet and wrote, ‘Twitter has shadow banned this obituary for being ‘misleading.’ It’s not. Please RT, so this BS backfires on them.’
Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy tweeted the obituary with the caption, ‘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… #HealthcareFreedom.’
Sebastian Gorka, who served in the Department of Defense under former President Donald Trump, tagged Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in a post asking what about the obituary is misleading. He wrote, ‘Hey @jack, Jessica was healthy and died. Why are you censoring that fact as ‘misleading??’ ‘
A number of conservative bloggers also retweeted the obituary, including Ben Domenech, a writer for The Federalist, who wrote, ‘Who @Twitter decided it was okay to say an OBITUARY is ‘misleading’?’
Sean Davis, also of The Federalist, wrote, ‘Twitter is now censoring obituaries.’
Tyler Cardon, the CEO of Blaze Media, tweeted it with the caption, ‘There is nothing inaccurate or misleading about this Tweet, but Twitter wants you to believe there is.’
Outspoken conservative actress Gina Carano shared the obituary and tweeted, ‘When is enough going to be enough? The vaccine is obviously not for everyone. Check the [Vaccine Adverse Event Recording System] report. I know someone who passed away from the vaccine as well. Healthy 56 year old woman. The vaccine took her out in 3 days. These Biden mandates are murdering these people.’
Carano referenced the VAERS, a government website that allows users to share any side effects they’ve experienced after getting vaccinated.
