If you have kept up with COVID news since 2020, you may remember this episode...
Tiffany Dover is one of the first nurses in the nation to receive the COVID vaccine back in December 2020. She fainted a few minutes after the injection, just as she stood up, to answer reporters' questions, all on TV.
She was up a few minutes later, explaining that she had an overactive vagus response, i.e. she's prone to fainting spells if overly excited or stimulated. It affects 20% of all people. That part was on TV.
Fainting spells are a thing. Some people faint at the sight of blood, or even seeing one's toenail pulled under an anesthetic. (There's a video on The Toe Bro's Youtube channel about a mother who fainted when someone else was in the chair getting a nail pulled)
That's all antivaxxers need to construct a giant conspiracy... That she died. This was bolstered by antivax videos editing out the part with her a few minutes later, very much alive.
The antivaxxers then started to flood the hospital's phone lines and social media seeking "verification" that Tiffany is alive. Antivaxxers also reached out to anyone linked to Tiffany on social media asking for "proof" that she's alive. An announcement by the hospital is not enough for them.
It got bad enough after six weeks that the hospital asked her to pose with staff and a signboard with a date and a hashtag as "proof of life". But this is where the conspiracy gone off the rails and claimed an actress was brought in to pose as her and/or wanted ADDITIONAL proof of life. Some trolls even suggested scour the city and stalk her family members.
When family members posted a rebuttal, they got comments like "why don't you admit she's dead?" "how much did they pay you?" and "Why don't you let her speak for herself?" and so on.
And this is when claims of a "body double" started.
The conspirators, usually with a distrust of the medical establishment, need to validate their self-worth by harassing others. And they keep moving the goalpost.
The hospital learned its lesson and started ignoring such demands. It is a hospital, not a PR agency to satisfy antivaxxer bull****.

Don't be a COVIDiot antivaxxer who can't handle the truth.
