"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A woman who had half her lung removed has called for the Covid vaccine to be given the same priority as the flu jab after she caught the virus three times in the months since she was dropped from the eligibility list. Ella Halpern-Matthews, a historian from Kent, has a severe respiratory illness and has been asthmatic since birth. She had half a lung removed due to cystic adenomatoid malformation and suffers chronic chest infections, which make her more vulnerable to common colds and Covid."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
A news outlet seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and investigations into reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping content free of paywalls. A 27-year-old Kent historian with severe respiratory illness who had half a lung removed and has lifelong asthma lost NHS eligibility for a Covid booster after updated criteria. She wore a high-quality face mask and avoided crowded, poorly ventilated spaces yet contracted Covid three times since her last booster and suffers chronic chest infections that heighten vulnerability. She says the health risks force social isolation and urges Covid boosters receive the same priority as the flu jab.
