Heather McDonald bragged about getting her COVID-19 shots, and then passed out on stage. She says she doesn’t think she’ll get the 4th shot.
QUICK FACTS:
- Comedian Heather McDonald said during a recent interview that she won’t be getting a 4th COVID-19 shot.
- McDonald made headlines when she passed out just after bragging about all of her vaccinations and that she still hadn’t contracted coronavirus.
- During a seemingly strained interview on “Ask Dr. Drew,” it was confirmed that her episode was within the window of reaction to the shots.
- McDonald volunteered that she would likely not be getting a fourth shot, talking about her Pfizer and Moderna injections with an air of regret.
WHAT WAS SAID DURING THE INTERVIEW:
- McDonald confirmed that she had taken two doses of the Pfizer vaccine but had a Moderna booster shot that was administered “three weeks to the day” before her collapse on stage. When she questioned the doctor about potential reactions to the vaccine, he confirmed that it was within a reasonable time to have a negative response to the shot.
- The doctor then inquired if she were aware of any “evidence of myocarditis,” and went on to explain “Which is an inflammation of the heart and changes the way the heart muscle functions a little bit, that’s why I ran hard on that echocardiogram,”
- McDonald didn’t know anything about the heart issue but said “I mean, you know, what can I do now… I don’t think I’m going to get the fourth booster though, I will say that” McDonald said. “I think I’m done.”
BACKGROUND:
- McDonald was rushed to the hospital earlier this month after she collapsed on stage at a show in Tempe, Arizona, according to Fox News.
- The tumble came immediately after she said, “I’m vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted … and flu shot and shingle shot and haven’t gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most.”
- The audience erupted into laughter, assuming the fall was part of the act before medically trained audience members rushed to offer support.
