Mrs. Brittany Lauderback was an educational aide at Colonial Elementary School. She wasn’t a public figure like the aforementioned Mrs. Ernby. But Mrs. Lauderback died on Sunday, January 2 after “a week-long battle with COVID-19.” 6 ABC in Philadelphia told the story of “COVID-19 death” for Mrs. Lauderback very differently than their ABC Los Angeles counterpart told the story of Mrs. Ernby’s alleged COVID-19 death.

“The district superintendent said Brittany Lauderback was a bright light at Colonial Elementary School,” 6 ABC reporter Beccah Hendrickson said at the beginning of her story. She also described the death of Mrs. Lauderback, 33, as a “tragic loss.” Hendrickson said that 93% of the school district’s staff is fully vaccinated, implying that Mrs. Lauderback was double or triple-vaxxed. But they decided to leave that specific detail out of the story. The News & Observer, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, wrote that Mrs. Lauderback’s vaccination status is “not publicly available.”

Superintendent Dr. Michael Christian said the district also requires masks. Despite these measures, the school district is experiencing “high community transmission” rates of COVID-19, according to 6 ABC.

The NBC 10 Philadelphia story about Mrs. Lauderback adds a twist. Of course the reporters use a solemn, empathetic tone throughout. But they also mention the death of Mr. Andrew Jenkins, a teacher from nearby Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Andrew Jenkins.

The 47-year-old passed away on Christmas Day.

The broadcast showed a screenshot of his obituary. But they made certain to crop out the very first sentence in said obituary.

Andrew G. Jenkins, 47, of Allentown, passed away on Dec. 25, 2021 after a short bout with Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated.
