There are ~ 30 tetanus cases and ~ 7-8 tetanus related deaths per year in the USA. So, not zero as she claims, but pretty close. I like this doc…just wish we would all be more precise with our words in public discourse.
She said that nobody has started spasming within minutes of stepping on a nail and suffocated to death at that point. She didn’t say that nobody has died. I think the implication was there’s time to get to the hospital and take measures

In a population this size...those numbers represent zero. She was correct.
