From Newsweek:
Jeckov Kanani, who has been an outspoken critic of Canada's COVID response, posted a video of the mayor's collapse on X, and encouraged people not to take the vaccine. He added that people shouldn't get the booster, either. Others posted that this should be a "wake up call" and used the hashtag "vaccine side effect." The Telegram account "Vaccine Injuries" also posted about the mayor's collapse.
Plante confirmed in December 2021 that she was double vaccinated against COVID-19. Despite claims from social media users, Plante's office confirmed to Newsweek that the sudden collapse was not due to the vaccine.
"After an assessment by a medical team, the mayor is doing well. She thanks the staff involved and all the words of support received today. As a precautionary measure following her illness, she will be reducing the pace of her activities over the next few days and will be absent from the Ville-Marie Borough Council meeting this evening. She will gradually resume her activities and thanks everyone for their understanding and support," Plante's spokesperson told Newsweek adding that the sudden collapse was "absolutely" not caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
Certainly, there are various reasons why someone might collapse, but raising concerns about potential adverse side effects from the mRNA vaccines isn't entirely unwarranted.
