Muzzle sent to Tennessee vaccine official was bought with her credit card, probe finds
AUGUST 18, 2021
A top official in Tennessee’s Department of Health overseeing the state’s vaccination program received a dog muzzle in the mail days before she was fired.
Now investigators say it was bought with her credit card.
An American Express card in the name of Dr. Michelle Fiscus was used to purchase a silicon dog muzzle from Amazon, according to a memorandum detailing the results of an investigation by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Fiscus is the former medical director at the Tennessee Department of Health. She was fired in July after Republican lawmakers complained about her approach to vaccinating teenagers against COVID-19, the Associated Press reported.
She has denied sending the muzzle to herself.
the results showed two different accounts in her name — one Fiscus had previously shown investigators and a second created in March 2021 that was used to buy the muzzle.
Both accounts listed the same Amex credit card.
