      Video Of Nurse Collapsing Shared To Claim COVID-19 Vaccines Are Unsafe

      Social media posts say a nurse collapsed after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, seeking to raise doubts about its safety. But the nurse has a history of passing out, and a doctor said there is no reason to believe the vaccine itself was responsible.

      "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," says a December 17, 2020 Facebook post.

      Other posts about the incident can be found on Facebook here, Instagram here and YouTube here.

      Video footage shows Tiffany Dover, a nurse at CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee, speaking to media after receiving the vaccine. She says she is "feeling really dizzy" as she touches her temple, before starting to collapse and being lowered to the floor by two men.

      Covid-19 vaccinations have begun across the US, where the disease has killed more than 310,00 people, but some are still hesitant about receiving them, though the number who say they are willing to do so is growing.

      "On Thursday, December 17, 2020, CHI Memorial administered its first doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine to six individuals -- three physicians and three nurses," the hospital administration told AFP by email.

      "Shortly after and while conducting a media interview, one of the nurses became dizzy and was assisted to the floor. She never lost consciousness and quickly recovered," it said.

      The nurse said she has a history of passing out.

      "I have a history of having an overactive vagal response, and so with that, if I have pain from anything -- hangnail, or if I stub a toe, I can just pass out," Tiffany Dover said, according to a video from the WRCB Chattanooga TV channel.

      "I have passed out probably six times in the past six weeks... it's common for me," Dover said.

      Dr Jesse Tucker, a critical care physician at CHI Memorial who also received the vaccine, said in the same video that there is "no reason to suspect that that's due to the vaccine whatsoever."

      It is "kind of like if you've been to the doctor and had bloodwork done before, some people get a little lightheaded when they see the needle going into their skin -- this is the identical kind of reaction," said Tucker.

      According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website, "fainting can be triggered by many types of medical procedures. In fact, CDC has received reports of people fainting after nearly all vaccines."

      "Fainting itself is generally not serious, but harm from related falls or other accidents can cause injury," it says.

      AFP Fact Check has debunked other examples of inaccurate information about Covid-19 vaccines, including that they cause female sterilization or change a patient's DNA.
