Does a video show a woman dropping dead after receiving a COVID-19 shot?
A video, which circulated on Twitter with the false claim, does not show anyone dying, or even collapsing, after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
Rather, it shows a protest outside the North Kensington Fire Station in London where a bus was providing vaccinations. In the video, a woman passes the bus on foot and then collapses off camera. She can be seen lying on the sidewalk as onlookers ask if she is all right. A man asks if the woman was “jabbed.”
In fact, the woman had just been walking by and had not come from the bus that was giving out vaccines, according to a spokesperson for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. “She fainted,” the spokesperson said. “I am not sure what the cause was. Only that she didn’t have a vaccine from the vaccine bus.”
