Today, 91-year-old Victor Smith is recovering after his body went into shock in response to what appears to be a vaccine overdose.
“They told me he wouldn’t survive,” said Smith’s daughter, Dawn Smith Theodore.
Theodore said it all started after his father received the first dose of the vaccine on January 22.
He got extremely tired and fell.

Smith, who is amputated, went to Fort Hamilton Hospital before being transferred to the Jamestown Rehabilitation Center a few days later.
While in rehab, Smith was scheduled to take his second chance on February 25 at the Butler County Fairgrounds.
“They transported him to get his injection. And when he came back, I spoke to him,” said Theodore. “He was fine. And then at 3:45, I think a city fireman came in and said that they had a chance for Victor, and the nurse said ‘Victor Smith?’ and he said ‘Yes’, so they gave him the room number and sent it to room 202, where my dad was. “

But they got the wrong Victor, according to Theodore.
“My dad said, ‘I have two shots,'” she recalled.
In a joint statement to WLWT, the city of Hamilton and Community First Solutions said in part: “there was an incident where a resident of the city of Hamilton inadvertently received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on the same day. Jamestowne and the city of The Hamilton Fire Department initiated investigations into the incident. ”
