A woman, who suffered chronic health complications after receiving a Covid injection, has been censored by Facebook for trying to share her story with her friends.
52-year-old Caroline Pover, from Gloucestershire, England, received the shot in March 2021.
Within nine hours of receiving the injection, Pover experienced convulsions, shivering, breathing difficulties, and low blood pressure.
Pover says she was hospitalized when her condition escalated to “stroke-like” symptoms, in addition to exhaustion, breathing difficulties, a racing heart, and migraines.
Her story was shared in a national newspaper in March last year.
Pover and 800 other victims made national news when they struggled to claim the UK government’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS).
However, after sharing the link to the story on her Facebook feed at the start of this year, Pover says Meta’s social media platform put a warning notice on her account.
She says that Facebook started alerting her friends that her story was “misinformation” about vaccines.
Pover, herself a freelance journalist and entrepreneur, said:
“My posts about what was happening to me started having FB ‘notes’ appearing underneath them about vaccination.
“A group page I was an admin on was shut down completely by Facebook in the summer of 2021.
“When I posted the Daily Express article, which did an excellent job of not discussing anything pro or anti… I received a warning and the post was hidden.
“It’s a ridiculous situation for vaccine-injured people, who have a right to information.
“If this was an online support group relating to cancer or another type of serious condition, we’d be outraged at the thought of it being censored and we’d be very sensitive to people having to navigate a very complicated health situation.”
Pover said she made her first post about vaccine side effects on March 3, 2021, shortly after receiving a Covid jab.
“In the week that followed I was posting about my health and I always thought I’d be fine the next day,” she said.
“After a few weeks, I noticed that little notes from Facebook were appearing whenever I posted anything relating to the vaccine.”
Pover claims she was subsequently “shadow-banned” on Facebook and that often, her posts failed to appear in the timelines of her friends and family.
“People would tag me in posts and complain that they weren’t getting any traction,” she said.
“I’d say to them, ‘don’t tag me, it will just disappear if you do.'”
Pover says that over time, the censorship led her to develop a specific writing style that would help prevent posts from being flagged up.
She has now decided to write a book about people receiving adverse reactions from Covid shots.
Her experiences with censorship have only made her even more determined to share her message, she says.
“The physical health struggles we face aren’t just what happens in the minutes, hours or days immediately after injection; it’s what we are still dealing with years later, as well as the impact of being censored,” Pover said.
Meanwhile, several Facebook groups for suffering vaccine injuries have been shut down by the Big Tech company.
UK CV Family – a private Facebook group with over 1,000 members for those who claim they were left injured or bereaved by the Covid vaccines – has been forced to take steps to avoid being shut down.
The group began in November 2021.
It was started by 42-year-old Charlet Crichton after she suffered an adverse reaction from the Covid injection.
She was given the shot while she was volunteering at a vaccination center in Folkestone, Kent.
The bad reaction led Crichton to become bed-bound for weeks.
Crichton has since been forced to give up her sports therapy business which she ran for 13 years.
She told the Daily Express: “I set up the group because I was finding people online in the UK like me.
“And we felt we didn’t have anyone to talk to about it apart from each other.”
The Facebook group is now one of three online groups for those bereaved by the vaccine to have been granted core-participant status in the Covid Inquiry.
