0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Brandy Zadrasni, a senior reporter for NBC News. |
0:05.4 | Do you remember the name Tiffany Dover? |
0:08.4 | You might remember her from late 2020 when frontline workers were first getting the COVID vaccine. |
0:13.8 | She was a nurse who received her vaccine, but then she fainted, and it was all captured |
0:20.0 | on a local news live stream. That video lit up the internet and a conspiracy theory was born. |
0:27.3 | Adding fuel to the fire, after she fainted, she went dark. No social media, no speaking to the press. |

1:41.1 | And I also feel like, you know, that would have been a perfect moment for us to speak out on, |
1:46.4 | yes, I did pass out. You know, you can pass out from receiving a vaccine, but that's okay because |
1:51.9 | it can also save your life. So it's worth it. That clear, passionate message delivered succinctly |
