Video Of Nurse Fainting On Live TV After Getting COVID Vaccine Has Raised Some Questions
For a world already on the edge watching someone take a vaccine and then pass out on live TV may seem like it makes matters worse. But that's hardly the case. For anti-vaxxers and most others in general, this footage signalled far worse things to come. Social media was lit with people asking if this was the end.
One such post was captioned: ¡°Watch this nurse pass out after receiving the COVID vaccine. It¡¯s so safe though, right? This will become a mass genocide if people continue to follow these rabid dictators.¡±
What's missing here is a little context.?

The woman on camera is Tiffany Dover, a nurse manager from Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S. She reportedly did faint after receiving the vaccine but she came to soon enough and said she was fine.
Local news channels there, WRCBtv 3 and WTVC-TV NewsChannel 9, caught the moment she fainted on camera.
¡°It just hit me all of the sudden, I could feel it coming on. I felt a little disoriented but I feel fine now, and the pain in my arm is gone,¡± she later told reporters.

According to Reuters that did a fact check on the story, Dover often faints whenever she feels pain, this moment not being the first time. It's a medical condition of sorts. Facebook, too, flagged several posts showing this video as "missing context."
The Reuters report goes on to say that even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has claimed that this in fact is not an uncommon side-effect of getting vaccinated.?
In the end, remember to not get carried away by the noise because there's still a virus that needs stopping. So while experts continue to search for solutions, what the rest of us can do is hold on to our wits and stay informed.?
