Tiffany Dover (CHI Memorial Hospital)
A nurse from Tennessee stirred controversy after she fainted on live television, a few minutes after taking Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine. The 30-year-old nurse, Tiffany Dover, who works as a nurse manager at the CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee, fueled conspiracy theories among the anti-vaxxers after collapsed on air. Later, it was found out that she suffers from a condition that sometimes causes her to faint when she feels pain.
Dover and her team of nurses were among the frontline medical workers to take Pfizer's first batch of vaccines. She was on live television as she received the vaccine, and about 17 minutes later, she fainted. In the footage, she can be seen telling ABC's New Channel 9: "All my staff is excited to get the vaccine. We are in the Covid unit, so my team will be getting the first chances to get the vaccine. And I know that it's really..." She then cuts off and says: "I'm sorry I'm feeling really dizzy." Shortly after, she collapses to the ground as colleagues move in to catch her.
