On Keeling Over the Jab By Richard Miller (London)
Across the West, young and otherwise “healthy” presumably fully vaxxed up people have been collapsing, including sportspersons, journalists and TV folk, like Kate McCann, who collapsed in a recent tory leadership TV debate. The coverage of these events is suspicious, as the cause is never speculated about, nor is there follow up. You can bet your wisdom teeth, that it is the vax. We have not seen anything yet.
“Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have joined thousands in sending well wishes to TalkTV political editor Kate McCann after their Tory leadership TV debate was dramatically interrupted when the presenter fainted off camera.
The showdown between the Foreign Secretary and ex-chancellor was taken off air after around 30 minutes and subsequently cancelled on the advice of medical experts present at the studio in Ealing, west London.
Miss McCann, TalkTV's political editor and host for the evening after The Sun's Harry Cole pulled out with Covid, was inundated by messages from well-wishers on social media and was said to be 'fine' after the incident.
The dramatic moment happened as Ms Truss was answering a question around half-an-hour into the TalkTV/The Sun event.
A loud noise caused the clearly worried Foreign Secretary to hold her face in shock as she exclaimed: 'Oh my God!'. Ms Truss was then seen leaving her podium and walking towards where Miss McCann had been standing.
The broadcast feed was swiftly cut, with viewers shown the message: 'We're sorry for the disruption to this programme. We're working hard to fix the issue and will return to normal programming soon.'
There was a long pause in the broadcast while viewers wondered what had happened in the studio, before a 'medical issue' was cited as being the cause of the disturbance.
Confirming the rest of the debate would no longer go ahead, TalkTV later said in a statement: 'Kate McCann fainted on air tonight and although she is fine, the medical advice was that we shouldn't continue with the debate. We apologise to our viewers and listeners.'
Mr Sunak had rushed over to Kate McCann and held her hand after she fainted and Ms Truss also went to check on her, with both Tory hopefuls kneeling down to check she was ok, The Sun reported.
Both Tory leadership candidates have since raised the prospect of resuming their debate on TalkTV at a later date.
Posting to Miss McCann on Twitter, Mr Sunak wrote: 'Good news that you're already recovering. It was a great debate and I look forward to getting grilled by you again shortly!'
Ms Truss later tweeted: 'Relieved to hear @KateEMcCann is fine. Really sorry that such a good debate had to end. Look forward to catching up with Kate and the rest of the @TheSun @TalkTV team again soon.'
The ex-chancellor and the Foreign Secretary were seen chatting with audience members in the studio while the incident was dealt with and the broadcast taken off air.”
