American nurse Tiffany Dover fainted on camera shortly after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.  According to experts and the CDC, this is one big side effect. There have been several rumors that Dover died. Once she passed out and remained silent on the matter, rumors of Dover’s death spread.  CHI hospital soon released images of Dover being supported by her nurse coworkers while being encircled by them. Dover chooses to stay silent in the hopes that it would stop said rumors. 

According to Brandy Zadronzy, Dover was well and alive. She said in a news report, “sitting across from Tiffany at her kitchen table, this is obvious. She breathes in and out.” “I didn’t die that day, the life I knew did,” Dover said to Zadrozny. Since that December day, eyes were always on Dover, as she exclaims to reporters.  

Dover wasn’t the first person to be subsumed in an anti-vaccine propaganda campaign, and she wouldn’t be the last. The modern anti-vaccine story took a turn with unconfirmed claims of the dead and damaged. According to Zadronzy, there are more sincere conspiracy theorists who took up in Dovers case. She just seemed to disappear. Her silence spoke for itself. She eventually texted Zadronzy ready to talk about everything that had happened to her. Even offering to make a video answering many questions. 

After Dover had fainted on camera from taking the Covid-19 vaccine rumors and theories started none of the rumors and theories had turned out to be true, especially about her being Anti-vaccine.  Tiffany had said she only kept her silence hoping that the rumors and theories would die down. She was finally ready to talk about what happened and why she went silent. Overall none of the theories and rumors have been true; she just needed time for herself.
