James Cintolo lied that Claire Bridges had had her legs amputated due to the vaccine. It was due to Covid/Rhabdo.
COVID Survivor Claire Bridges Sets Record Straight on Misleading Tweet About Her
“He completely ignored the fact that I am a human,” Bridges told us. “He went ahead to incorrectly and harmfully tell my story.”

On Jan. 15, 2023, Twitter user @healthbyjames tweeted a video with the caption, “Clair Bridges, 21, was fully vaccinated for COVID-19, caught COVID anyway, vaccine was supposed to prevent severe disease, however, Clair had both legs amputated, myocarditis, and kidney failure anyway.”
According to Claire Bridges, whom we interviewed for this story, the implication in this tweet about her vaccination status was misleading. In fact, the tweet was so inaccurate that even Bridges’ first name was twice spelled incorrectly.
The user who issued the tweet, @healthbyjames, showed the display name of “James Cintolo, RN FN CPT.”

Reporting from AFP that detailed another purportedly inaccurate tweet from Cintolo identified him as “a Boston-based nurse who writes about supposed adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.”

Bridges Corrects the Record
We reached out to Bridges to find the truth about her story. According to local reporting, she is a resident of St. Petersburg, Florida.
.
Here’s what she told us:
I was vaccinated 7 months prior. The reason why my bout with COVID was so severe is tied to the fact that I have a congenital heart condition.
When I got COVID, a complication that arose from COVID was Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdo attacks your muscles, the heart being a muscle and mine being so weak (it was already unable to efficiently pump blood where it needed to go). When the Rhabdo kept progressing, my health kept falling. Less oxygenated blood where it needs to be, severe dehydration, on top of all the other symptoms one deals with when they’re sick from COVID. My legs began to go necrotic and in order to prevent sepsis they had to amputate. My legs were amputated due to COVID/Rhabdo, not the vaccine.
For anyone who doesn’t have any of the facts to say anything different than that, is extremely rude, harmful and disrespectful.
In regards to his claim that I had myocarditis and kidney failure, I did. However, it wasn’t just my kidneys that failed, it was everything. I flatlined three times. On Jan. 16, 2022, I was put on life support, including 24-hour dialysis.
