The History
In December of 2020 COVID hysteria was in full swing. Several months earlier, President Trump had been practically laughed off the debate stage when he said that Chris Wallace, Dr. Redfield, Dr. Slaoui, Joe Biden, and the Mainstream Media were all wrong and a vaccine absolutely would be delivered before the end of 2020. Under Trump’s leadership Operation Warp Speed was an unexpected success and the vaccine was promptly made available to all who wanted it. The problems began to arise, though, when employers and politicians attempted to force the vaccine on otherwise healthy individuals. The injection, which the NIH labeled as an “experimental and investigational vaccine” began to represent a flashpoint in American culture. Though the Trump team never participated in vaccine mandates, blue states and government employers used and abused their power to grandstand at the cost of average citizens. Mandate-madness got worse under the leadership of Joe Biden as unlawful abuses of power spread across the US so that politicians could power-grab, big pharma could money-grab, and vaccinated citizens could grandstand on a make-believe moral high ground.
American morale was at a near all-time low as Biden had claimed the White House amid widespread controversy and concerns about election integrity. The past year had seen BLM and ANTIFA rioting, burning, killing, and traitorously claiming American soil for months on end, businesses were being forcefully closed by left-wing leaders who protected their own interests and broke their own mandates, and COVID-19 had claimed many lives. Amid all this, Tiffany Dover emerged as yet another element of swirling national drama and hardship.
The Incident
Tiffany Dover was a nurse working at CHI Memorial Hospital and on December 17, 2020 she chose to make herself a public example of the allegedly safe and effective vaccine. Our story starts with the moment that Tiffany rolled up her sleeve and allowed the investigational vaccine to be injected into her arm. She had been energetically speaking to the media moments earlier. For a brief interlude, all seemed well as Tiffany got the shot, stood, and approached the podium where she planned to give remarks to the press. Soon after she began speaking, though, Tiffany grabbed her head and started to sway. “I’m sorry” she meekly remarked a moment before slumping backwards and landing motionless among several coworkers who rushed to her side. Then the cameras cut away. At this point, several things must be noted: First, while the event was televised and intended for national distribution, a full and unedited video which shows Tiffany prior to the vaccination, receiving the vaccination, passing out after receiving the vaccination, and the immediate after-effects including her post-collapse interview seems impossible to find. Bits and pieces of the incident can be seen across YouTube and X. The closest thing I have found to a continuous and unedited cut may be seen here and here.
Second, this was not a random, spur-of-the-moment, event. Tiffany had been selected and approved as a representative of CHI Memorial and as an example of a healthy, young, medical worker who was ready to take the new vaccine and speak to its safety, value, and effectiveness. The cameras, reporters, and tech crew were on site and ready to film – in short, this was meant to be a statement piece. It was not an intimate and private moment which paparazzi and anti-vaxxers intruded on.
The Potential Cover-Up
Following Tiffany’s collapse and the cameras’ cut away, the next time the audience saw her she was sitting in a chair, wide-eyed, and visibly shaken. She gave a brief and odd interview before being swept away – and that was that. Story over, right? Wrong. It only got weirder from there – a lot weirder. Let’s examine Tiffany’s post-injection interview for a few moments.
The first thing that sticks out is that, for anyone trained in trauma response, the beginning of her interview seems to contain what are known as orientation questions – meaning the interviewer is attempting to verify the mental state of the interviewee. In the video, Tiffany spells her name, verifies her place of employment, and is asked if she can, “tell us what just happened.” Her responses seem flustered and raise some serious red flags.
In the video, Tiffany answers that she has a deep history of suffering from an overactive vagal response and something as simple as a hangnail or a stubbed toe can cause her to pass-out. She affirms multiple times that this type of a scenario is exceedingly common for her – claiming it has happened 6 times in the last 6 weeks – once per week. Let’s double-click on that claim for a moment, remembering that moments earlier Tiffany had stated that she worked in the CCU (Critical Care Unit). The narrative we were given was that a Critical Care Nurse – someone who worked with the most fragile, injured, and delicate of patients - was someone who passed out at least once a week from minor pain like a stubbed toe. I am a military veteran, I come from a military and law enforcement family, and my wife worked in the medical field for almost 10 years – I have never heard of someone with such an unpredictable and easily triggered, highly dangerous medical condition being tasked with a critical role for obvious reasons. As a matter of fact, every critical role I have personal experience or connection with has shown the exact opposite – employees are strenuously screened to verify that a pilot does not faint mid-flight, a LEO does not pass-out mid-investigation, and a medical worker does not collapse mid-treatment. I mean seriously, can you step back for a moment with me and consider the pill we are being asked to swallow? An experienced Critical Care Nurse passes out once every 7 days due to minor pain like a stubbed toe. What if she had jammed her finger while treating a critical patient? What if a combative patient – which medical workers regularly encounter – slapped her arm? What if she stubbed her toe while bracing to roll an incontinent quadriplegic? Are we really to believe that Tiffany regularly collapsed on or around her critical patients? Was CHI Memorial OK with risking that Tiffany may faint while a full code status patient went into cardiac arrest? She never fell backwards and seriously injured herself or someone else? I am sorry, but that just does not make sense. There are holes in that story.
The other problem is that I have personal experience with an overactive vagal response – I had my condition treated many years ago with a TENS unit and electrical stimulation therapy. The bottom line is that of all the doctors I worked with, none ever told me to expect a delayed vagal response like what Tiffany displayed. My own vagal response was immediate – meaning I would do the thing that triggered it and would feel the response a moment later. Tiffany claimed that she had an overactive vagal response which was visibly delayed by several minutes (as seen when she received the injection, stood, walked to the podium, spoke for a reported 17 minutes, and then collapsed). The Cleveland Clinic notes that Vasovagal syncope – also called fainting – can occur when a body overreacts to pain and, “Blood pressure drops very quickly (orthostatic hypotension), making you feel dizzy or faint.” Human bodies can do odd things, but I have never heard of or witnessed a vagal response which acts like what Tiffany displayed.
The problems continue to mount for the ‘vagal response’ narrative when it is considered from another perspective. Let me set the table for you and then you tell me whether or not the situation makes sense. The year is 2020 and you are a PR coordinator employed by CHI Memorial Hospital. You have the task of rolling out a new vaccine in front of the public after months of global panic. Your task includes finding a healthy, good-looking, well-spoken medical employee who is willing to take the vaccine in front of a room filled with cameras, microphones, and reporters. The purpose is clear; the entire medical industry wants to prove that the vaccine is safe, effective, and worth getting. There have already been questions about how well-tested a vaccine can possibly be when similar treatments typically take many years of development and testing before being introduced to the public. People are dying around the globe, and you just want to help prove that a safe solution is available. Optics will be of the utmost importance. Your next move is to walk over to the CCU and ask the Charge Nurse, “Hey, doesn’t Tiffany work on this unit? You know – the nurse who passes out regularly when she experiences minor pain? Yeah, that girl. She will be the perfect candidate to take this shot on live TV and give a press conference directly after.” Do you see the absurdity here? Like the rest of this incident, it just doesn’t add up.
Like a toxic dating relationship, this situation just continues to get worse and more nonsensical. In the days following Tiffany’s press conference debacle, several strange things happened. The first was that she did not appear in public – physically or virtually. There was no, “Hey, it’s me – the nurse who passed out after getting the experimental vaccine – I’m OK!” follow-up presser. There was no comfort to be had from an Instagram live or TikTok “Ask me anything – I’m alive and well!” session. There was only silence and dead air. In a now-deleted tweet, CHI Memorial announced that Tiffany was alive and well – but we didn’t hear from her. CHI Memorial shared a similar message on social media posts – most of which have since disappeared. Simultaneously, multiple internet sleuths found that several data aggregation and ancestry information sites listed the death of a 30-year-old named Tiffany Pontes Dover in Higdon, Alabama. (See examples here, here, here, and here)
A piece of evidence I saw skeptics attack was the fact that CHI Memorial is in Tennessee while Tiffany was listed as living in a different state – Alabama. The simple answer here is that Higdon, Alabama is a mere 45 minutes away from CHI Memorial, where Tiffany worked. The commute would be an easy drive through the tri-state area of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. As someone who grew up in a tri-state area, I guarantee that crossing state lines for work is virtually meaningless and is not at all a hinderance.
Skeptics of these pieces of evidence note that someone could have fraudulently updated the websites. This scenario is unlikely due to the fact that there is no real motive for someone to do such a thing, the task would require substantial time, potentially money, quick action and skill would have been needed, and the information included about Tiffany’s extended family was correct. Still, fake website updates are theoretically possible and the reports about Tiffany’s death could be misleading. It is also noteworthy that many of the alleged sources documenting Tiffany’s death correctly reported her maiden name – Pontes. Tiffany seems to have occasionally used her full name of Tiffany Pontes Dover, though she usually used her shortened name (as seen in the video evidence) of Tiffany Dover. The fact that the ancestry sites got this detail correct seems to build their credibility.
But a passionate, skilled, and fast-acting ancestry website hacker doesn’t explain the next oddity in our story. Tiffany’s family and friends, whose names will not be listed here for privacy but are easy enough to find with a little digging, all began scrubbing their social media pages. Many disappeared entirely – including one I reached out to.
Some set their accounts to private and others bizarrely began to delete pictures of Tiffany. Unfortunately, once social media accounts and images are gone or blocked behind a private account, they are out of reach unless you have LEO investigative authority. As a result, all we have is a handful of before and after screen captures gathered by attentive observers. I personally encountered multiple people claiming to be personal friends of Tiffany’s family who said that a cover-up was underway, and Tiffany was deceased. Whether or not any of these claims hold merit may never be known, because without exception, every account I have been able to locate is now deleted or private and entirely silent.
The most unsettling change, though, came in the form of Tiffany’s own social media accounts. Her accounts, which had once been active and full of pictures, suddenly fell silent. For an extended period, no posts were made and, most troublingly, nearly every photo which clearly showed her face was removed.
But fear not, because like your parents probably told you, the internet is forever! Thanks to the wise and quick actions of multiple concerned parties across the internet, I have been able to gather many (though not nearly all) of her old photos which were publicly posted. You can check them out below and will notice their absence from her still-public Instagram page here.
In the face of mounting criticism, CHI Memorial released this video, in which Tiffany can allegedly be seen standing at the bottom of the stairs wearing a blue pin and – I kid you not – a face mask. Sure, the hospital had the plausible excuse that, well, COVID-19 was out there, so she had to mask up! But it does seem awfully convenient, doesn’t it? Not only that, but let’s assume the best and accept the proposition that it was totally logical for Tiffany to appear in a video for a few seconds wearing a mask. OK, fine. If you could do that, why not have her step into a room with a camera operator for a 30 second piece in which she removed the mask and answered a handful of brief questions? Why is CHI Memorial’s “proof” limited to a few poorly lit seconds of a silent and masked woman? The masked woman in the video which was provided could have been Tiffany… but it also could have not been Tiffany and pointing that out should not be controversial.
Another alleged source of proof that Tiffany was alive and well came in the form of a photo, which claimed to show Tiffany standing alongside a special patient – Police Chief Johnny Scearce.
The problem with this single piece of photographic evidence is that when he was released on January 14, 2021, Chief Scearce had been in the hospital where Tiffany worked for 94 days – meaning he was there with her long before the vaccine press conference incident. To my knowledge, we have no proof regarding when the photo in question was taken. As evidence goes, this photo seems like quite the odd choice, doesn’t it? It would be like me posting a picture of myself with the World Trade centers taken 9/10/2001 as proof that the world trade centers were still standing 9/12/2001. Why not just come out and give another press conference a week or two later? The often-peddled narrative was that Tiffany and her family wanted privacy – but that doesn’t make sense, now does it? Tiffany was an outgoing medical worker who dealt with strangers daily and willingly chose to present herself as a televised example who would execute a public interview surrounded by reporters and cameras. We are supposed to believe that the same woman was scared into silence mere days later, when stage freight struck and she was unable to utter a few words in front of a camera? It just doesn’t add up.
If you search Tiffany Dover on the Alabama Board of Nursing (the state in which she allegedly lived) or the Tennessee Board of Nursing (the state in which she allegedly worked), you will find that Alabama has one null and void license listed and one active license listed which expires in 2025, while Tennessee has one listed as active and set to expire in 2026. This potential lead seems inconclusive without additional information which is not publicly available. In order to find answers, we would need to narrow down the right person connected to the right license in the correct state.
During the cryptic years of virtual silence, another bizarre development took form. Tiffany’s Instagram account was allegedly hacked by an individual who did not know her personally and did not know that she was something of an internet celebrity - I personally viewed her profile during the time that the alleged hacker had control. The hacker, who seemed to speak English in a manner which would indicate foreign origins, did an Instagram live session in which it was stated that they had not known anything at all about Tiffany and the hacking was pure chance. After learning from commenters that Tiffany was highly sought after, the hacker started a Telegram channel called Tiffany Truth, where the high strangeness continued. The hacker shared a handful of conversations from Tiffany’s account direct messages which seemed clunky and unnatural in which the hacker was speaking to Tiffany’s connections. Other conversations which seemed to be between Tiffany and other individuals were released, as were a few photos which seemed random and meaningless. Last I checked, at least one photo posted during the time in which the hacker had control is still on her page - even though she has reclaimed it. The alleged hacker repeatedly and adamantly stated that Tiffany was alive and that any alternative theories were stupid, going as far a s to tell people to leave Tiffany alone and insult those who asked questions. The hackers most recent messages include posts which claim that they are trying to sell Tiffany’s account to the highest bidder. So again, let’s examine our options here. Ought we believe that a foreign hacker randomly chose Tiffany’s account, learned of her relevance, had conversations from her profile, leaked several pieces of content, made a few posts which the real Tiffany left up, felt altruistic enough to protect Tiffany and insist that people leave her alone while informing the public that she was definitely alive, then felt malicious enough to offer her account up for sale to the highest bidder, and somewhere along the line the real Tiffany, who was alive and in hiding, regained access to her account which she still uses to this day? Perhaps. It sounds like the type of fib a high school freshman would make up, but it is technically possible. Alternatively, should we understand that, when considered alongside all the other evidence, something exceedingly strange is going on here. The details don’t make sense and the fact that a third-party hacker who allegedly had no skin in the game gained access to her account by chance and verified that she was still alive and people need to leave her alone before offering to sell her account to any high-paying stranger is absurd on its face. Furthermore, it sounds a bit like a set up meant to comfort, misguide, and even entrap those investigating the case who may attempt to purchase access to her account, doesn’t it? I don’t know what to make of this chapter in the story other than that it gives me the distinct feeling that I am being lied to.
The usual suspects of mainstream narrative spin-jobs have boldly declared that the potential cover-up around Tiffany Dover is officially debunked. However, not only is there more to the story, but the talking points raised by debunkers are all either paper-thin, empty claims or pieces of evidence which have already been weighed and found wanting. In an attempt to debunk all conspiratorial claims, Reuters linked to an official statement from the illustrious Alabama Public Health Department (APHD). The APHD would surely be looked at with a skeptical eye by anyone who even considers that a cover-up may be possible and even worse, the link provided by Reuters brings users to a 404 Page Not Found Error – oops!
In a debunking article produced by USA Today, a link is provided to the original video which was posted by CHI Memorial and touted as proof that Tiffany was alive – the link dead-ends at an error page. The article also contains links to the original response tweet from CHI Memorial and an Associated Press piece which contains official statements from CHI Memorial representatives – both of these links to original content also lead to dead-ends and error messages. In short, nearly every piece of early evidence, initial response, and official statement has disappeared. If not for a few ‘conspiracy theorists’ using their phone screen recording feature, the entire Tiffany Dover episode would virtually be nothing more than a word-of-mouth, he-said-she-said, urban legend.
One of the most damning red flags which was observed by the American public was the media insistence that anyone who asked valid questions about the strange case of Tiffany Dover was a dangerous conspiracy theorist. This type of forced gaslighting drives people apart and does not help in any way – but it does help certain interest groups to maintain the appearance of superiority, and in the end, that’s all that matters for many.
The *alleged* Return of Tiffany
The world largely moved on from the mysterious topic of Tiffany Dover. Joe Biden implemented and broke his own mask mandates, citizens struggled to reclaim their right to travel and open up the doors of their churches and private businesses, families struggles to scrape by financially amid historic Biden-flation… People had a long list of pressing matters to worry about and the world kept spinning. And then one day in 2023, Tiffany’s Instagram page which had been inactive and largely scrubbed of old photos save for a few posts of landscape shots, distant silhouettes, and food-photography, came back to life. There was a post by a woman claiming to be Tiffany. She said the last few years had been crazy but she would do a tell all podcast and answer any remaining questions shortly.
The newly-public Tiffany had a few seemingly professional photos taken and spoke to a handful of media members who immediately used her appearance as a method of demonizing and attacking those who had asked too many questions. While giving her side of the story, Tiffany explained that CHI Memorial had restricted her with a gag-order which did not allow her to speak out publicly after the press conference incident of 2020. According to Tiffany, she desperately wanted to communicate with the public but was in fear of losing her job, so she remained silent.
Without exception, Tiffany’s interviewers make it clear that the mainstream narrative is the truth. The difficult questions, many of which are raised in this article, went unasked and unanswered. As it stands, the official narrative is the following: An experienced nurse was chosen to publicly receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This nurse, who passed out regularly in reaction to minor pain, was asked to be a spokesperson for the vaccine and CHI Memorial on live TV. Sadly, she suffered a severely delayed vagal response 17 minutes after receiving the shot and passed out while the microphones and cameras were rolling. She was then given a gag-order by her employer and was not allowed to speak to anyone about the incident. CHI Memorial and the powers-that-be were completely fine with their pro-vaccine public guinea pig and spokesperson being AWOL amid the COVID crisis. There was no need to get her back in front of the public and prove that she was alive and healthy. A several-seconds-long video clip of a woman in a mask and a photo of a police Chief who had been in the hospital for several months were the only proof of life that the public was given. Then, Tiffany and her family began scrubbing their social media accounts for an unknown reason. Some were deleted, some went private, and others – including Tiffany – selectively deleted old photos which clearly showed her face. A few well-known websites contained documents claiming that Tiffany Dover had passed away, but those were all hackers and fraudsters. Then everything went silent for a few years until she re-emerged looking suspiciously different. If you ask any questions, you are a dangerous, conspiratorial, peddler of misinformation and you should be shamed as the anti-vaxxer that you are.
But it doesn’t end there. First of all, in this interview, Tiffany agrees to share documents surrounding the 2020 incident to be displayed on screen once the video is published – no such documents were ever provided. In the previous paragraph, I mentioned that the new Tiffany looked suspiciously different – had she simply changed over the years? Perhaps. But, as thousands of commenters have noted, the different appearance coupled with the deletion of old photos stands out as an oddity. If Tiffany truly wanted privacy, why not just set her account to private? Why delete old photos, keep a public account, and then fill the account with new photos several years later?
I was torn on this topic – half of me looks at the new Tiffany and says, “Yeah, that could be the same girl.” The other half of me says, “But she also does look noticeably different in her facial features. And the fact that many of her old photos were quickly deleted pushes this suspicion even further.” A final note on this point is that I ran her old and new photos through an AI facial recognition software and was given a similarity ratings in the 70’s and an AI declaration that the two photos were not of the same person.
As a control method, I ran several of my old photos through the same system. Photos of me separated by approximately 4 years and a weight variance of 25 lbs were compared and without exception, they produced similarity ratings in the 90’s and an AI ruling that the photos were of the same person. The tool I used can be found here – feel free to test it out yourself. Here is an old video of Tiffany which you can compare to a more recent video – I had to piece the old one together using fragments as, again, the original content has seemingly been scrubbed from internet existence.
Another odd note that I found while researching this situation was that Tiffany recently made an anniversary post which appears to use a photo from a trip which happened more than 4 years ago. An almost identical photo which documents her husband wearing the same outfit in the same location can be seen in bottom left of this video at the 10:49 mark – the video is a screen capture of Tiffany’s public profile and since the video was posted 4 years ago, the screen capture has to be at least that old. It is highly likely that these are two photos taken during the same vacation – so why, then, was one posted 4 years ago and the other posted as an anniversary message after Tiffany re-emerged? Some people use old photos for anniversary posts, and the answer may be that simple. But the recycling of old images could also be used when trying to present the normal appearance of active family life. This photo discrepancy does not prove anything, and I don’t hang my hat on it, but it may be relevant.
Closing
The situation we are left with is this: After agreeing to be presented to the world as an example recipient of a safe and effective investigational vaccine, Tiffany either allowed or was forced to let CHI Memorial and the media sweep her dramatic story away immediately. No questions were seriously answered and vaccine hesitancy grew. Because Tiffany and CHI Memorial agreed to act as a public example, I believe that they held a serious responsibility to explain exactly what happened and show why people should or should not be concerned. Instead, those who asked questions were targeted and demonized and the story was treated as another day at the office.
Can we assume that the suddenly private and scrubbed nature of Tiffany’s friends and family on social media is indicative of a family who does not want press coverage? Maybe. But we could also understand the situation as the actions of a family who has been told to shut up. Either is possible.
While CHI Memorial was quick to point out that getting the COVID vaccine was the right thing to do and was safe, the data suggests otherwise. CHI Memorial denies that a gag order was ever placed on Tiffany – but sadly, if the COVID era taught us anything it is that people are willing to lie to save face, gain social brownie points, or get rich.
We must live with the following realization; the question is not “Was there a coverup?” We know there was a coverup. The question is, “Why was there a coverup?” Was the cover-up merely an abusive PR power play which coincided with national and global elitists living out their authoritarian fantasies? Maybe. Was the cover-up used as a method of buying time so that Tiffany could heal from an undisclosed vaccine-related injury? Perhaps. Or, in a worst case scenario, was there a high-level and well-funded coverup of one of the first vaccine-related deaths which are now well known and documented? I truly do not know – but I am confident that the mainstream narrative stinks like a rotten fish on a summer day.
