Video of people collapsing on camera doesn’t show vaccine reactions
Associated PressCLAIM: A compilation of videos shows people collapsing because they have taken COVID-19 vaccines. THE FACTS: A mash-up video of people collapsing while performing or presenting on camera is circulating widely online with claims it shows the dangerous side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. The video featuring 15 different clips of people collapsing spread across TikTok, Instagram and Twitter with dramatic music and syringe emojis, prompting commenters to share their opposition to getting the shots. Julie Yoo, a presenter for Singapore-based media outlet CNA was featured in the video fainting on Nov. 9, 2022, during coverage of the COP27 UN climate change conference, collapsed for similar reasons. However, even as social media posts have blamed vaccines for cardiac arrests, heart attacks and deaths, cardiologists have told the AP that research doesn’t support claims that COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of these events.
