CTV reporter Jessica Robb sparks vaccine fears after suffering medical emergency live on air

Canadian journalist Jessica Robb sparked vaccine fears after she suffered a medical emergency while reporting live on television.

On Sunday, January 8, Robb was reporting on the location for the Canada-based news channel, CTV, when in the middle of a conversation with anchor Nahreman Issa, she began to slur and repeat words on the live broadcast.

In the footage that went viral over the internet, Jessica Robb can be seen going blank on words and struggling to speak. At one point, she can also be seen looking lost and losing her balance.

Before the cameraperson cut the broadcast from Robb to Issa reporting from the news studio, the young journalist could be seen almost collapsing as she lost stability.

After Jessica Robb's video reporting from a location in Canada went viral, Twitter was left concerned. In the clip, Robb reported news before her physical health started deteriorating on live television. Before the camera shot jumped to the studio, Jessica said:

"Sorry Nahreman. I'm, I'm, I'm not feeling very well right now, and I'm about to just..."

She was then interrupted by Issa, who stated:

"Okay, we'll come back to you and we'll make sure that Jessica, you are doing okay."
