Social media statements were made a few days after culinary writer Julie Powell passed away to claim the 49-year-old was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to an obituary in The New York Times, Powell, a best-selling novelist and blogger whose writing served as the inspiration for the film “Julie & Julia,” passed away on October 26 at her home in upstate New York.
In an unrelated Instagram post on November 2, Powell discussed getting a COVID-19 booster shot and learning she had “black hairy tongue,” a normal and unharmful medical ailment. Powell also mentioned getting a COVID-19 booster shot.
