AN MP dismissed Covid-19 conspiracy theorists who spotted the date on her vaccine card suggested she had received it NEXT month by joking she had in fact mastered the art of time-travel.
Bishop Auckland MP Dehenna Davison took to social media yesterday to tell people she had received her first Covid-19 vaccination.
The 27-year-old urged other people in their 20s to get booked up for a jab, adding it felt like little more than a quick scratch.
But Twitter followers soon spotted a mistake on her vaccination card, which showed the date she received the Pfizer jab as July 10 instead of June 10.
Despite the written note apparently being a simple mistake by someone at the vaccination clinic at Knights Pharmacy, Bishop Auckland, it sparked a debate on social media.
Some people called for an explanation while others suggested she had not really received the vaccination or used it as an opportunity to raise concerns they have about the Government's handling of the pandemic.
Also no name on the card. Don't they put your name on the card when you have it done? Everyone I know who's had it has their name on the card

Awesome- Can you go back in time and have a word with your colleagues Matt and Boris, about travel restrictions. It’s a bugger arguing about the need to control our borders and then not bothering https://t.co/ik9ze0hPjX

Ms Davison quipped that her followers had caught her out and she would have to reveal her biggest secret - that she knows how to travel back and forth through time.
Someone has just pointed out the date on my vaccination card. I suppose that means it’s time for me to tell you all my biggest secret…

This led to a string of funny comments from people asking her to travel forward and return with lottery numbers and England's results in the Euros.
One person even joked she was a witch- but added laughing emoji in the hope she took no offence.
So, if you could go forward one more day and get us the result of the Euro2020 final, that would be helpful...

A clinic spokesperson said: "A member of our admin staff accidentally recorded the vaccine expiry date rather than giving date. A new card has since been issued and we have apologised to Dehenna for any confusion caused."
