Truthers: Tiffany Dover Is Dead*

Welcome to one of the internet’s weirdest obsessions. Back in December of 2020, a nurse named Tiffany Dover fainted on camera while she was talking to reporters after getting her first COVID shot. She got right back up and gave another interview, but it was too late. A conspiracy theory was already racing around the world: Dover had died. She’d been replaced by a body double. And an ever-expanding list of conspirators was in on the cover-up, including the drug companies, the hospital, the media, and maybe even the Pope. Tiffany Dover is alive and well, but she’s stayed silent through it all. And now her story has been hijacked by total strangers trying to make people doubt the safety of the COVID vaccine. In this first season of Truthers, a podcast project about misinformation and conspiracy theories, NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny sets out to show what’s true and what isn’t—and how one person’s life became a weapon in a global information war.

Exasperated listener

Conspiracy theorists can’t be argued out of their opinions. Logic has nothing to do with it. Two plus two always equals 5 for them. Conspiracies make the world a more predictable place for many people. Randomness and accident make some people very anxious. This podcast displays these troubles quite well.
Brilliant!

This starts strong ep1 and then it dies a sad death. I am the opposite of a conspiracy theorist and even to me this sounded preachy and it’s just not well done. Its disappointing as it really starts well.
Proved Nothing..

It certainly didn’t prove Tiffany is alive, I think it did the opposite.
