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 pretty much told me he wouldn’t make it,” said Smith’s daughter, Dawn Smith Theodore.
Theodore said it all started after her father received his first dose of the vaccine on Jan. 22.

Smith, who is an amputee, went to Fort Hamilton Hospital before being transferred to the Jamestown Rehab Facility days later.
While in rehab, Smith was due to have his second chance on February 25 at the Butler County Fairgrounds.
“They transported him to get his shot. And when he came back, I spoke to him, ”said Theodore. ‘He was good. And then at 3:45 am, I think a town firefighter came in and said they had a shot at Victor, and the nurse said ‘Victor Smith? ‘and he said’ Yes’, so they gave him the room number and sent him to room 202, where my father was. “

But according to Theodore, they had the wrong Victor.
“My dad said, ‘I have two vaccines,’” she recalled.
In a joint statement to WLWT, the City of Hamilton and Community First Solutions said in part, “There was an incident in which a resident of the City of Hamilton accidentally received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on the same day. City of Hamilton Fire Department has begun an investigation into the incident. ”
