The world’s media captured the moment on Tuesday when the mayor of Montreal, Canada, Valérie Plante, suddenly collapsed halfway through a press conference.
Plante was answering reporters’ questions at a news conference when she dramatically stopped mid-sentence, stared blankly, and then crashed onto the floor behind the podium.
Infowars.com reports: “The mayor of Montreal suffered discomfort during a press conference and, fortunately, she is out of danger. She will receive all the required medical support and thanks you for your support,” the mayor’s account declared in an X post following the incident.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among several politicians who wished Plante a speedy recovery, and the mayor said she would reduce her daily activities as a preventative measure.
The mayor’s unexpected collapse is certainly reminiscent of the dozens of videos showing people, including many athletes and entertainers, suddenly passing out amid the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, with the jab suspected to be behind the alarming fainting spells.
