Gemma O'Doherty

Edel Campbell 'devastated' her son's photograph has been included in an article purporting to link Covid-19 vaccines with sudden deaths.

She said Ms O’Doherty’s use of her son’s image had turned her life “completely upside down”. “To think someone could use my son – and so many other children – to push the reason why she thinks they died. I have had sleepless nights for the last 16 months, but more so for the last month. And for her to stop using him, please.” The mother of a Co Cavan teenager who died by suicide has called on Gemma O’Doherty to remove his image from an article in The Irish Light, a free newspaper claiming to publish the “uncensored truth”. One of the images used to accompany an article purporting to link sudden deaths to Covid-19 vaccines is that of 18-year-old Diego Gilsenan from Kingscourt who took his own life in August 2021.
