CANADA: Young Reporter Experiences Medical Episode During Live Broadcast (WATCH)


3,933 views

On Sunday, a young reporter for the Canadian news station CTV suddenly experienced a medical episode during a live broadcast.

Jessica Robb, who was reporting on the scene for CTV News Edmonton, started slurring words, losing her speech, and said she wasn’t feeling well.

It appeared Robb was about to collapse on live television in the middle of her conversation with the anchor Nahreman Issa.

CTV News immediately cut the broadcast.

WATCH:

CTV News Edmonton released a statement following the reporter’s medical episode.

“PROGRAMMING NOTE: Thanks to everyone who inquired about our reporter who became ill during the 6 p.m. News. Jessica Robb is feeling better and is now resting,” CTV Edmonton tweeted.

Before making her Twitter account private, Jessica Robb issued a statement.

“I won’t bury the lede: l’m okay. Thank you to everyone who has reached [out], my cameraman [Sean McClune] for being there for me, & [Nahreman Issa] for being an absolute pro (as usual),” Robb wrote.

As expected, there was wide speculation on social media that Robb’s medical episode was caused by the experimental COVID-19 shot.

In April, Robb tweeted that she contracted COVID-19 and was triple-vaccinated.

“Consider this my official out of (the physical) office. Feeling very lucky to be vaxxed x3 & that I started isolating as soon as symptoms started,” Robb tweeted.

Journalist Keean Bexte noted that Canada’s Big Three carriers (Rogers, Bell and Telus) introduced COVID-19 jab mandates in 2021.

CTV is Canada’s largest privately owned television network and is now a division of the Bell Media subsidiary of BCE.
