Valérie Plante's office confirms her sudden collapse was not due to the COVID-19 vaccine, and she is recovering well.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante collapsed during a press conference, sparking speculation on social media about a possible link to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Plante's office confirmed that her sudden collapse was not due to the vaccine and that she is doing well after being assessed by a medical team.
Despite her health scare, Plante declined to be transported to a hospital by an ambulance that arrived at the scene.
