That's how easy it is to take information and provide no context to the way you present it to People who are looking for confirmation for their fears, biases, racisms, bigotries.

In reality, she sits in her California McMansion spreading misinformation from the CDC's adverse reaction self reporting site that was set up to provide the CDC data on physical reactions to covid vaccines,

I've used it myself to report my reaction to the shots - sore muscle in arm lasting about 3 weeks from first jab. Slight nausea lasting about 24 hours, & a feeling of exhaustion lasting about 2 weeks from the 2nd.

I'm not a doctor & I certainly can't say that either reaction was due to the vaccine, only that I experienced those physical symptoms after getting the vaccines. The symptoms were minor, were shared by others & encouraging, because I knew my body was exhibiting immune responses.

The purpose is to allow the CDC to look for possible side effects that are both common/uncommon, so they can better inform the public & to be on top of any severe reactions so they can make an informed decision on whether the vaccine should be pulled from use.

They've done this already. The clotting issue experienced by some vaccine recipients caused them to pull the vaccines use until they had time to research & analyze the data, & examine the patients to understand whether something in their genetic makeup led to the clotting issue.

I am fully supportive of the CDC's use of this self reporting system. When used properly it can both inform & save lives.

However, as we all know, there are People in society that troll every platform open to the public. This program is no exception.

They've made outrageous claims of side effects, reported deaths that didn't occur, or were the obvious result of something other than the vaccine. They've made a mockery out of an important scientific tool.

And the woman who sits in her California McMansion, copying data from this database, devoid of all context, has used that data to promote anti vaxx propaganda on her own website, racking up over 1 million views.

As I said, she's killing our children. Our family, friends, coworkers, & neighbors. Anyone unvaccinated, including those with no choice. And she seems proud of it.

I only hope the @TheJusticeDept can find a way to make her pay for it.
