Emerging story
In December of last year, nurse Tiffany Dover received a COVID-19 vaccine on television. While being interviewed by reporters just moments later, Dover fainted. Conspiracy theorists were quick to jump on the footage. One theory even asserted that Dover had died shortly after the interview.
This theory not only has its adherents – there are even entire Facebook groups based around it. While the incident occurred last year, rumors are still being spread on social media.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found that Dover is very much still alive. As she explained after the incident, she has a condition that can make her faint from feeling pain, even if it’s a small amount. The hospital confirmed her statement, adding on that fainting is a common side effect usually caused by anxiety.
In fact, vaccine recipients – even if those unrelated to COVID – are often required to stay at the clinic for 15 minutes after receiving the shot.
Since then, Dover has made a few public appearances. That has not stopped people from harassing her, however.
