Hate Hoax: Probe Finds Tennessee Vaccine Official Purchased Dog Muzzle She Claimed Someone Else Had Mailed to ‘Send a Message’
Michelle Fiscus
A Tennessee vaccine official who ran to CNN and claimed someone mailed her a dog muzzle to intimidate her actually purchased it herself, an investigation found.
Dr. Michelle Fiscus was at the center of a nasty political battle after she advocated for vaccination of some teenagers against Covid without parental consent.
Fiscus said she received an anonymous package from Amazon containing a dog muzzle (photo below) one week before she was fired from the Tennessee Department of Health in July.
Michelle’s husband Brad told the Tennessean that his wife wanted to keep the muzzle as a souvenir.
“A friend dropped it back by the house. She wanted it as a souvenir,” Brad Fiscus said.
