Why Won’t My State’s Largest News Organisation Look into These Vaccine Stories?
On June 8th 2022, I sent the following email to several reporters and one editor at al.com, which is the largest news organisation in my state of Alabama. I encourage other Daily Sceptic readers to send the same type of email to the major news organisations in their cities or states.
I don’t expect this news organisation to follow-up on my story suggestions and answer any of my questions, although I would be happy to be proven wrong. My main purpose is to create a record that shows that these reporters and editors are aware of many data points which strongly suggest that Covid vaccines are not ‘safe and effective’ (or necessary for children), and confirm that these ‘watchdog’ journalists will not share these types of stories with their readers. Nor will they pursue their own investigations that might corroborate (or impeach) these findings.
If enough readers participate in this similar experiment, this collective evidence (and the non-responses to our ‘story suggestions’) might provide strong evidence that the mainstream media are conspiring (or at least capitulating) in the cover-up of information that would debunk or challenge many elements of the alleged ‘settled science’ about Covid vaccines. In the opinion of this correspondent, such a finding – suggesting an obvious bias and censorship – would itself constitute an alarming and disturbing scandal.
Note: Story links and excerpts (several from the Daily Sceptic) are provided below this post.
Dear [journalists who routinely write Covid stories and an editor]:
I write to bring to your attention six articles that strongly suggest that Covid vaccines are not “safe and effective” nor necessary for many people. See story links below.
My real purpose in writing is to encourage al.com to do its own reporting to see if your reporters can confirm that the trends depicted in this quantifiable data are, perhaps, also being seen in Alabama.
Specifically:
- Are Alabama ambulance companies responding to more calls from individuals suffering health emergencies related to cardiac events than they did prior to widespread Covid vaccination?
- Are life insurance companies doing business in Alabama reporting more excess deaths in policy holders since vaccines became widespread, especially in the ages 18 to 64? What are these numbers?
- Are funeral homes in Alabama performing more funerals and cremations compared to time periods before Covid vaccines had been widely administered?
- Are doctors seeing more complications in vaccinated patients?
- Do vaccinated Alabamians now comprise the greatest percentage of PCR-confirmed Covid cases? Are the percentage of vaccinated patients being treated in hospitals now higher than the unvaccinated cohort (as appears to be the case in the U.K., whose data are much more comprehensive and transparent)? Are the percentages of deaths in older age groups (60 plus) now higher among the vaccinated class (as is also the case in the U.K. and other countries)?
- How many Alabama children under the age of 18 without serious pre-existing medical conditions have died from Covid in the past 27 months (this would be the mortality figure for ‘healthy’ children)? How many healthy Alabama children died from Covid in the first 12 months of the pandemic? Is death from Covid actually one of the ‘top eight’ or ‘top 10 causes of death of Alabama children in a given year (as has been quoted by public health officials and officials at pediatrician groups)? What are the top 10 annual killers of Alabama children with the number of annual deaths per year?
- If I wrote a 1,000-word article, listing several of the ‘accepted Covid narratives’ that I believe are false or dubious and why I believe they are, would you publish this piece?
I’ve come to believe that journalism or independent investigations that would challenge key parts of the ‘Covid narrative’ is not allowed at mainstream news organisations. Can you provide examples from your own reporting that would debunk or refute this theory? Is al.com going to follow up on these articles with your own reporting? If not, why not? Have reporters been told that certain Covid stories cannot be reported? Which al.com journalists have written any story that challenges or questions key parts of the CDC’s ‘settled science’?
Thank you for your consideration.

Virology Journal has published a letter from a cardiovascular surgeon, Kenji Yamamoto, setting out the case for ceasing all Covid vaccine booster programmes on safety grounds, calling Covid vaccines a “major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients”. His own cardiovascular surgery department at Okamura Memorial Hospital, Japan, has seen numerous complications in vaccinated patients, including some deaths, he says.
The National Health Service has confirmed in response to a freedom of information request that ambulance call-outs relating to immediate care required for a debilitating condition affecting the heart nearly doubled in the whole of 2021 and are still on the rise further in 2022. But the most concerning published figures show that they have also doubled among people under the age of 30.
“Indiana Life Insurance CEO Says Deaths Are Up Among people Ages 18-64“:
We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.” …
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” … “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.
On Wednesday, Dowd noted that funeral home company Carriage Services saw a 28% increase in September 2021 vs. 2020, and a 13% increase in August vs. the same period. Funerals and cremations are up 12% and 13% respectively on the quarter.
“Unbelievable U.K. Vaccine Report Update“:
Already evident in previous weeks is that for all but the youngest group, the vaccinated were getting infected at higher rates than the unvaccinated … In several age groups, it would appear the double vaccinated are infected at four to five time the rate of the unvaccinated …
Looking at double (not triple) vaccinated, it appears they have higher rates of hospitalisation for all ages over 60, and comparable rates for ages 18-59.
In this case, the rate of death of the unboosted fully vaccinated is basically twice as high for the over 70 year olds.
“For Majority of U.K. children, Covid Mortality is 0.000“:
Only six of the 25 Covid deaths in the U.K. in the first 12 month of the pandemic occurred among children without pre-existing serious medical conditions … This represents a mortality risk to ‘healthy’ children of approximately 0.0001%.

Great work, Bill.
Suggested follow-up steps if (as you suspect) they ignore you: Attempt to find one of their journalists and ask them in person about why they are ignoring this: Ensure the exchange is recorded; Print some stickers to leave in strategic places noting that their paper is being less than fearless and truthful on this issue, with a web address where the exchange can be viewed.
During our lockdown protests in London, the capital was plastered with White Rose stickers condemning the lockdowns and related measures (the stickers appeared elsewhere too). Of course it’s hard to measure how much effect such acts have, but it is certain that without any sort of pushback, things will be worse.
Thanks, Hugh. I will try to talk to some journalists, in environments where they might feel more free to talk freely, and try to find out if some of them have been expressly told that they cannot do certain stories. I think most of them just “get it” and know intuitively what stories and investigations are off limits.
I suspect most of the “real” journalists have left these captured organizations and are now working as freelance or independent journalists, many with their own Substack sites.
Thankfully a few are working at The Daily Skeptic.
One thing I firmly believe: We need more “whistleblowers” in journalism who will blow the whistle about the places where they work.
Excellent work. Well done.
Well done, Bill!
And here’s a hearty Transatlantic Handshake from me, too, Bill!
God I hope that we Unvaxxed Untermensch are allowed back into the US at some point. I’ll stand you a beer and travel to Troy especially to do it.
You buy the first round. I got the second. No masks required in our restaurants (for a good while) and full occupancy now allowed. We’re almost as good as Florida.
Come to think of it, I do have a similar issue with a British paper. It was thus wise: Some time ago, Toby Young took part in an event (reported on this site) where he and other experts discussed the lockdowns, and was up against an editor from the (London) Times in which this Times editor confronted Toby about “anti-vaxxers” in the below the line comments on this website. Now I happened to know that a current Times journalist wrote an article for the Independent back in 2014 detailing apparent widespread and systematic corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. Note particularly that Pfizer and AZ are specifically mentioned in the article. But now we are seemingly supposed to believe that Pfizer and AZ are suddenly beyond reproach when it comes to these new experimental “covid” medications that they’ve been flogging with the assistance of governments (and Times muppets ), and also forget that their own journalist Oliver Wright previously covered apparent corruption by these companies but is now kept away by the Times from trying to investigate these companies with regards to this new medication. I have since lost no opportunity to allude to these facts on this forum on the… Read more »
i was there and the Times journalist Oliver Kamm was there to debate for the pro-lockdown side.
It was interesting to note that the anti-lockdown panel had all the data and logic, the pro-lockdown panel had emotive arguments and Oliver Kamm called the audience ‘right wing zealots’, which quite rightly did not go down that well.
The next day on Twitter he claimed the audience had been disrespectful and I reminded him that the audience had actual been very respectful, just did not like being called ‘right wing zealots’. Was blocked immediately 🙃
Here’s a hypothetical event that further develops my thesis … Say some journalist scores a job interview at a “mainstream press” news organization. It could be al.com or The Montgomery Advertiser in my state … or The Atlanta Journal, The Chicago Tribune or even The New York Times. The editor doing the job interview throws out a standard question to the applicant: “Why do you want to work here?” Or: “Why did you go into journalism?” My hypothetical job applicant then gives an impassioned response about how he wants to hold those with great power accountable, how he wants to uncover truths that are important for the public to know, etc. The editor, probably already disturbed, still asks a follow-up question: “Can you give me some examples of the type stories you’d like to produce?” My anti-hero then suggests stories were he would interview local funeral home directors to see if this business is doing more funerals of people under age 65 since vaccines became widely administered. He mentions that ambulance companies might have data on the number of heart-related emergency calls they have been making since the vaccines were administered. He even says, “Maybe we could interview florists to see… Read more »
For space reasons, I didn’t better develop an important point regarding WHY all of this is so important. First, it should be obvious that if the “mainstream press” doesn’t cover “taboo” topics, the “mainstream” (i.e, most in the public) doesn’t even know compelling reasons exist to NOT trust the “authorized” narratives. The second point might be even more important: To fully and conclusively debunk a false narrative requires many news organizations investigating the same topic. The example I’ve given before is that it wasn’t just Woodward and Bernstein who provided details that gave us the true picture of what happened in Watergate. Every major news organization in the country was digging for “dirt,” and eventually other news organizations filled in many of the blanks on this scandal. In other words, a journalistic “team effort” allowed the truth to eventually be exposed. Well, such a “team effort” never happens with Covid stories. Many reporters digging is far better than no reporters digging, or even just one or two. Also, in the past, when one news organization scored a scoop on some big “scandal,” the newspaper or magazine was rewarded with more readers, which meant more newspapers sold or subscriptions or (today) “page… Read more »
I appreciate The Daily Skeptic running this piece, which suggest the greatest scandal of them all is that … potential/likely scandals will NOT be investigated by the mainstream “watchdog” press. If this is true – if certain important stories are now taboo and off limits – the future of civilization is going to be far more bleak than it should be. UDDATE AND FOLLOW-UP EMAIL … As of today (June 9th at 12:40 p.m. CDT), I’ve yet to receive any response from the three journalists and one editor who I emailed yesterday morning. This morning I also sent the three journalists another email where I highlight two more important stories they should have already investigated and covered, both with obvious “Alabama connections.” The first story deals with an Alabama embalmer (a real whistleblower) who reports seeing “odd” blood clots in the bodies of vaccinated decedents. This man had never seen such a thing in his 20 years before the vaccines. He has taken pictures and videos of these clots and reports other embalmers are seeing the same thing. Steve Kirsch and at least one other Internet site interviewed this man. Kirsch says he has found 15 embalmers who have seen… Read more »
Throughout 2020 and 2021, I bombarded my MP with emails, voicemails and written letters explaining in very simple terms just how unremarkable the daily mortality figures were, and to ask why she kept voting Aye to all the blasted restrictions.
My latest communication with her was to ask her why it was that
Her response left me wondering if she has a brain.
At least you got a response!
My MP sent me a round robin response to one request & I’ve had nothing for two other inquiries. Too damned busy with sadomasochistic whipping in the Tory Party…..
Ah, you must be Morley and Outwood.
I campaigned with her to oust Ed Balls. And I gave her a piece of my mind last year. Showed her true colours. Regret ever helping her.
No, I have the pleasure of being in the Chief Whip’s constituency
So you’re away from Yorkshire then. My condolences 🤣
Shame at realising they were so badly duped.
Disappointment at realising they missed the juicy stuff which could have made them famous in the long run.
Wanting to move back to the easy stuff, like J Depp vs A Heard and bashing Bitcoin (they still haven’t caught on to the REAL THING which is not BTC – but BSV!).
Three possible reasons why the unremarkable and uncorrupted journalists aren’t answering.
When you find a journalist who can calculate a percentage let me know. I think a dominance of ‘arts’ graduates in the media is one of a plethora of factors that have led to a total suspension of critical faculties throughout the panic.
Where are you Charles Moore, Alastair Heath, Alison Pearson? If you’re reading this, this is your chance. Yeap – thought not.
