A nurse manager from CHI Memorial hospital in Tennessee fainted approximately 2 minutes after taking the vaccine. The nurse was given her first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine today and was interviewed shortly afterwards by a local Tennessee news station. The taping of Nurse Tiffany receiving the vaccine appeared live on the network. While Tiffany Dover answered a few questions about some of the hardships she and her unit faced, she got disoriented and passed out.
Viewers saw the moment when she experienced what she later states as dizziness as she touched her forehead and said, “I’m sorry, I’m feeling a little dizzy.” Seconds later, she collapsed to the floor while physicians rushed to her aid.
After her collapse, the nurse returned looking a bit shocked and offered her explanation as to why she collapsed. She stated that she has a history of overactive vagal responses, meaning that, she is blaming her reaction on her nerves. She went on to say that she passes out at the slightest bit of pain or even from a hangnail. The nurse manager, who works in the Critical Care Unit at CHI memorial, mentioned that she passed out about six times within the last three weeks.
one physician, dr. tucker, who also received the vaccine at the same time as Tiffany offered a brief explanation for her fainting episode. he stated that there was no reason to suspect that the nurse's fainting was due to the vaccine. Dr. Tucker blamed it on lightheadedness. In his response, Dr. Tucker did not acknowledge that others have had severe allergic reactions to the vaccine in the past week immediately after being injected. perhaps he didn't know!
People may get lightheaded or dizzy after receiving injections and in most cases it is to be blamed on nerves. However, Tiffany’s reaction wasn’t immediate. She received the dose and then two minutes later, she passed out. If she truly does have an overactive vagal response, why was she chosen to be one of the first in Tennessee to receive the vaccine on live television? Furthermore, is it possible for a nurse, who frequently passes out at the slightest stimulus, to work in a critical care unit?
Research on Pfizer’s vaccine has only been carried out on 36,000 people, 18,325 of which received a placebo. There isn’t much that is known about the diverse reactions that people can have due to limited research. There is also miniscule research on how the moderna and pfizer vaccines affect people with hypersensitive immune responses. Though the vaccine was 95% effective in preventing Covid-19, there is no data available on whether it can reduce the severity of Covid-19.
Four people who participated in pfizer's clinical trials developed bells palsy. one individual suffered a shoulder injury and another swollen lymph nodes. These severe side effects were deemed to be a direct result of the vaccination process.
Known side effects of the vaccine as disclosed by the FDA are:
injection site pain • tiredness • headache • muscle pain • chills • joint pain • fever • injection site swelling • injection site redness • nausea • feeling unwell • swollen lymph nodes
Those working in the medical field should be required to keep abreast of research concerning the various Covid-19 vaccines, especially if they will be administering it to others and promoting its use.
According to the FDA, one should not get the vaccine if:
A.) They've had a severe reaction after a previous dose of the vaccine
B.) They've had an allergic reaction to an ingredient in the vaccine
