Media Normalization of Vaccine Side Effects and Mortality

Leaders such as Justin Trudeau and New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins have made statements that appear to gaslight the public, with Trudeau claiming that individuals are allowed to make their own choices regarding Covid-19 vaccinations, despite having previously implemented strict vaccination mandates, and Hipkins stating that people made their own choices regarding vaccination, despite having introduced vaccine mandates in 2021.
Gaslighting is also applied to the narrative surrounding Covid-19 vaccine damage, with a propaganda campaign aiming to convince the public that vaccine damage was caused by factors other than the vaccines themselves, such as cannabis consumption, physical activity, pandemic stress, and poor diet.
The media has been accused of providing justifications for heart attacks, strokes, and sudden deaths that do not involve the vaccines, with examples including attributing these symptoms to young adult cannabis consumers, physical activity, pandemic stress and poor diet, skipping breakfast, lonely older women and shovelling snow.
The media has also been linking blood clots to various factors, including binge-watching TV, nutrients in eggs, alcohol, tea, and coffee, as well as extreme heat, in an effort to downplay the potential risks associated with the Covid-19 vaccine.
The normalization of vaccine damage has been a significant effort, with the media attempting to make blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, neurological disorders, and Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) appear as ordinary and non-threatening conditions.
The ITV soap opera Coronation Street featured an episode in December 2022 that included the “died suddenly” motif, which helped to normalize the idea of sudden death at a time when people worldwide were experiencing public collapses and convulsions, as reported by researchers such as Dowd and Broudy et al.
The media also promoted pro-vaccine headlines, including “Why vaccinated people dying from Covid-19 doesn’t mean the vaccines are ineffective” and “No deaths linked to Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs, major new study finds”, which aimed to reassure the public of the safety and effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines.
