The New York Times on Wednesday ran an article that “ridiculed” those seeking justice in the case of George Watts Jr., a 24-year-old man who died from complications of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis.
Attorney Ray Flores, who on May 31 sued the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) on behalf of Watts’ estate, said the Times’ article “marginalized the family’s unspeakable suffering.”
Flores told The Defender:
“The New York Times ridiculed all those who advocate for the parents of George Watts, Jr., whose death, according to the Certificate of Death, was caused by ‘COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis.’”
“The Times also inaccurately characterized Children’s Health Defense (CHD)’s involvement, as CHD is not a party in the suit.”
Stewart A. Thompson, the author of “Behind the Birth of an Anti-Vaccine Story,” describes himself as a Times reporter covering “how false and misleading information spreads online and how it affects people around the world.”
CHD President Mary Holland accused the Times of sinking to “a new low.” She told The Defender:
“All that one needs to know about this article, totally lacking in empathy or journalistic integrity, is that it is by a journalist who ‘focuses on misinformation, disinformation and other misleading content.’
“This is to say, in straightforward language, that Mr. Thompson is a propagandist whose job is to counter inconvenient yet often true narratives that go against the government and the New York Times’ primary advertisers, Big Pharma.
“Mr. Thompson seems eager to suppress the reality that COVID vaccines are the most dangerous pharmaceutical product ever foisted on the global population.”
Thompson’s article has already drawn criticism from other readers including John Leake, co-author with Dr. Peter McCullough of the Courageous Discourse substack, who wrote:
“The piece is a perfect example of reporting an incident while at the same time falsely minimizing its significance for the broader community.
“This propaganda technique conveys the impression that the issue is being addressed instead of concealed while at the same time concealing the true scope of the problem.”
Kim Mack Rosenberg, acting general counsel for CHD, agreed. She described the Times article as “heartless,” telling the The Defender:
“The New York Times’ distorted and inaccurate article is immensely unfair to the family of George Watts, Jr. but also is unfair to every Times reader. Readers deserve to know that these injections have caused harm — including death — to many Americans — and worldwide.
“The Times attempts to preserve the narrative that these shots are ‘safe and effective,’ not only regurgitating a tired and demonstrably false narrative, but it does so at the expense of the Watts family, which already has suffered a horrific loss.”
Rosenberg said she found it “unfathomable” that the Times “feels the need to question the credibility of the Watts family and others in order to censor accurate information and prop up a house of cards.”
The article “is further evidence that investigative journalism is dying on the vine at what was once a fine publication,” she added…
