Excerpt:
The obituary of a Seattle woman who tragically died from a rare blood clotting event after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine mandated by the US government has been labelled as “misleading” by Twitter fact checkers.

On Saturday, Twitter user Kelly Bee shared an obituary of Jessica Berg Wilson, a 37-year-old Seattle woman who reportedly died from “Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT).” VITT is considered a very rare adverse event which may occur following the administration of adenovirus vector Covid-19 vaccines, such as the AstraZeneca and J&J shots.

In her tweet, Bee, referencing the attached obituary, claimed that Berg Wilson was an “exceptionally healthy and vibrant 37-year-old young mother with no underlying health conditions.” She also adds that Wilson was vaccine-hesitant.

According to Berg Wilson’s obituary, she passed away “unexpectedly” on September 7 from “Covid-19 VITT.” It says that Berg Wilson was “vehemently opposed” to taking the Covid-19 vaccine because she was in “good health,” and believed she was not at risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus.

“In her mind, the known and unknown risks of the unproven vaccine were more of a threat,” the text reads.

The obituary claims that her freedom to choose whether or not to take the vaccine was “stripped away.” Berg Wilson was a ‘Room Mom’ – someone who took responsibility for events in her children’s school classes – and the vaccine mandate prevented her from doing this without a jab.

Eventually, the 37-year-old mother-of-two took the vaccine, although it is not noted which one she received. It is suggested that she died after getting the jab, although the time between the two events is not stated in her obituary.

However, shortly after posting, Bee’s tweet regarding Berg Wilson’s death was flagged by Twitter as “misleading,” and an end note redirected users to resources underlining why Covid-19 vaccines are not dangerous. This “misleading” label has since been removed, but other tweets using the same text have since been flagged by the tech giant.

Bee followed up on her own tweet, contending that Twitter had shadow-banned the post and encouraging people to retweet it. She also scalded local media for not reporting the case.
