The Media Lies & People Die

Updated: Sep 11, 2022

Updated 9/11/22: Cleaned up, grammatically fixes and stylistic fixes.


The media has failed on many occasions during the Covid-19 Pandemic. They've failed to live up to what being journalists should really be about. It should not be about their politics and opinions, but instead where their investigation into the facts leads them. There isn't much investigation nowadays, if any. They report what they're told, no verification needed, or they even leave things out on purpose.


There is no better example of that than the portrayal of Heidi Ferrer's passing by the media. Instead of honoring a deceased woman's wishes, they are instead doing a true disservice to her, and many others at the same time. Heidi wanted her story told so she could help people in a similar position as hers, but the most important details are instead conveniently left out usually. The main detail of course being Heidi committed suicide due to her horrific Moderna Covid Vaccine reaction. One with any sense would think that's an important fact. The media, and others, talking about her death, have often decided it was not. That shouldn't be their decision to make, but people often leave things out on purpose for whatever reason (to influence others, political leanings, opinions, fear, etc)


I analyzed 74 articles, and a few blogs, chosen at random that mention Heidi. All 74 mention her Long Haul Covid and attribute that to her suicide. Only 1, a CNN article (#47), mentions that she merely took a Covid Vaccine. That article says, "'Nick' Guthe said his wife got the Covid-19 vaccine in March, after hearing from other long haulers that it helped improve some of their symptoms. But in her case, Guthe said, it didn't help."

If you read my original blog post on Heidi's story, that you can read here,

https://justice4heidi.wixsite.com/sunflower-diaries/post/the-true-untold-story-of-the-sunflower, you'll know the problem is her Moderna Covid Vaccine not only didn't help, it caused a devastating injury that she suffered with for 2.5 months until she could not take it anymore, finally committing suicide. Prior to her Moderna Covid Vaccine, she had improved greatly from her Long Haul Covid from July 2020 to February 2021. Not mentioning the details of her Moderna Covid Vaccine Injury is lying by omission. Saying she died due to her Long Haul Covid suffering is quite frankly a flat out lie based on all the details. Had she not taken her Moderna Covid Vaccine she would very likely still be alive today.


This misinformation, or disinformation, is harming others who may read Heidi's story and don't know the full picture. The full picture being, she was a Covid Long Hauler who was much better. She then took a Moderna Covid Vaccine and went straight downhill so much so that she made the decision to take her own life.


Ironically, and sadly, Heidi was harmed by this very same thing. She heard reports of Covid Long Haulers improving after getting their Covid Vaccines. Only the positive reports were given credence and making the headlines. She took her Covid Vaccine Shot, but only until she did that and developed debilitating symptoms, did she realize there were others out there suffering like her after their Covid Vaccinations. This is the only way to know sometimes due to the deafening silence of the media on this problem. Here is 1 of the many reports out there that the Covid Vaccines helped Covid Long Haulers, this one from mid-March 2021 (just as the vaccines were really rolling out to the masses):



The news took these early anecdotes and ran with it, ignoring or downplaying several critical things. 1. People get worse too. Much worse sometimes. In fact, due to patient research, we know Long Haulers 2+ weeks out from 2 Covid Vaccines do worse more often than feel better.¹ No articles about that. The 26%+ of Covid Long Haulers that do worse would love to have known that before taking their shots, and not have to learn it after the hard way. (The % may be higher than that the further away from the vax you poll people). Thank you media. 2. Time matters. Some Covid Long Haulers feel better for a period of time after their vax, only to really get shellacked with a vaccine injury weeks afterwards. That's not uncommon. People can have vaccine side effects or injuries that begin 12 weeks after their shot. 3. Some people feel better in some ways after their shot, and feel worse in some ways, making it hard for people to analyze the situation accurately. Lastly, the mainstream media is just not running these stories about Covid Long Haulers who are Covid Vaccine Injured, even though they seem to be a larger group than the ones that improve. What gives?


When the media lies about Covid or the Covid Vaccines, people die. Whether it's by omission, or getting the story wrong entirely for whatever the reason, you're at fault and the citizens are the ones who pay for it. These stories never seem to be corrected either, even as more is learned in time. These stories spread throughout social media, and other mediums, providing people misinformation that they make serious decisions on for themselves, or for their loved ones, or that they use to promote their beliefs. When it's a health related, life, and death topic, you can't operate so cavalierly being a journalist. They should correct all of their articles on Heidi because what they have all written thus far is misinformation. Misinformation that you won't have your social media suspended for, while my account gets suspended for spreading truthful information about Heidi. Mass reporters working their censorship magic and Twitter going right along with it. What a backwards world we live in!


Do your damn job media, so that people can be informed properly, and I don't have to correct your stories riddled with misinformation for you! Otherwise give me your salary since right now I'm working for free. Heidi would appreciate the corrections in her story.
