A video of a female health care worker in the United States fainting after injecting the Chinese Communist Pneumonia (covid-19) vaccine has recently gone viral on the Internet, leading some netizens to question and panic about the safety of the vaccine in question. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that more than 270,000 people in the U.S. have received the Pfizer vaccine so far, with only six people experiencing serious side effects.
According to media reports, the woman in the video circulating in the U.S. online community who fainted on the spot after receiving the vaccine is a Tennessee nurse named Tiffany Dover, who was vaccinated with several other health care workers on the 17th of this month with a vaccine developed by Pfizer for Chinese communist pneumonia. However, 17 minutes after the vaccine was administered, Dover felt dizzy and told the media, who were broadcasting live, “I’m sorry, I’m really dizzy right now,” before collapsing on the ground. There were shouts of alarm and several paramedics rushed to her aid.

Dover later explained to the public that she had fainted from pain before, and that this fainting was caused by her own physical problems. The pain in the arm (where the injection was given) disappeared.
However, the video of the female nurse fainting in public quickly went viral on the Internet and raised public doubts about the safety of the Pfizer vaccine.
Reuters reported on the 19th that the hospital where Tiffany Dover works responded to the incident via email, saying that Dover’s fainting spell was due to her own constitution and had nothing to do with the vaccine, and that she recovered quickly. The report also cited the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as saying that it is normal to experience pain at the injection site, as well as side effects such as fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills and joint pain after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and emphasized that the vaccine has passed safety tests.
The CDC said on the 19th that as of the morning of the 19th, more than 272,000 people had been vaccinated with the Pfizer C.C. pneumonia vaccine in the United States, and by the evening of the 18th, only six people had experienced severe allergic reactions, including one person who had been allergic to the vaccine after the injection. The CDC also emphasized that all six cases of severe allergic reactions after vaccination occurred during the post-vaccination observation period and were treated accordingly and recovered. Health officials are now closely monitoring the side effects of the vaccine.
According to publicly available information, after the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use on the 11th of this month, all U.S. states have begun vaccination operations with the Pfizer vaccine since the 14th.
The Associated Press reported that of the 215,000 people who received the vaccine, less than 1.5 percent were unable to perform normal activities or required medical attention. In the past, many types of vaccines have caused transient discomfort, such as arm pain or flu-like symptoms, but the Chinese pneumonia vaccine has caused more discomfort, the report said. Some U.S. hospitals are now intentionally staggering vaccination schedules when scheduling health care workers in batches to avoid in-hospital staffing problems due to adverse reactions.
In fact, on the same day that the Pfizer CPC pneumonia vaccine was officially approved for emergency use on December 11, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization confirmed to the media that four people who had received the CPC pneumonia vaccine in earlier vaccine trials conducted by Pfizer had developed Bell’s palsy (commonly known as facial palsy), and that such patients recovered within 10 to 21 days.
