The Highwire with Del Bigtree - HISTORIC STUDY ON VACCINE INJURED LOOKING FOR PARTICIPANTS

Episode Date: November 25, 2023

Pioneer for the vaccine injured, Brianne Dressen, co-chair of React19, discusses a new study aimed at solving the mystery around the massive amount of people injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. Teaming up with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, this completely anonymous study will survey those injured by the vaccine, hoping to find mechanisms of the myriad of injuries post vaccination, and more importantly, potential treatments and cures for those affected. Find out how you can make a difference by joining the study today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Redressing with React 19 has really been on the forefront of trying to bring attention to the COVID vaccine injury. We're going to talk to her in just a minute about an action she needs your help with. But first, this is just a little background on, you know, what she's been dealing with and her interaction with us here in the informed consent action network. Before the pandemic, I was a preschool teacher. I had lived by the Rocky Mountains and always wanting to get out in a appreciate nature and live a healthy lifestyle. Early 2020, when the pandemic hit, we took it seriously, did the masking, we did the social distancing.

We need volunteers. What they're looking for are 100 volunteers to develop safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19. To be among tens of thousands of people. It's the last stage before results go to the federal government for approval. Please volunteer today. When we started hearing about the COVID vaccine

in the clinical trials, I signed up. I thought that this was my way of, you know, doing my duty to this country. And in November 4th of 2020 is when I got my one-and-only dose of AstraZeneca. Within an hour, I had tingling down the same hour. Later that night, my vision had become blurred and double. And by the morning, my left leg was slumped and my sensitivity to sound just ramping up. Got so bad that by the end of the day, I was hold up in the corner with the lights off, just waiting for their parents to come get them.

That was the last day that I taught. Over the next two and a half weeks, I landed in the ER, I want to say it was at least four times. My skin was on fire. The pins and needles had spread all over my body. Couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. All I could do was just try to focus on breathing.

The neurologist proceeded to tell both of us. I think that you just kind of got really wrapped up in the stress of COVID, just kind of had a mental breakdown. My legs weren't working. I was incontinent. I had severe cognitive deficits at that point. My kids couldn't be in the same room as me because my daughter's little voice was just too painful for my ears.

I lost over 20 pounds and you could see every single red in my body. I was positive I was going to die for months. Nobody ever deserves to live like that and endure like that. Within four months we were financially ruined. My contract with AstraZeneca says that if there is an issue, they provide for any and all medical expenses. They sent me a settlement letter for a little over $1,200 to sign away any and all claims. We realized very quickly that we needed to find lawyers and we cross paths with ICANN.

They went after AstraZeneca, made them stop ignoring me. Before that, Astrozenica wouldn't give us this time a day. ICANN has been able to recently get the V-Safe data, see behind the curtain, and see what's been going on with the serious adverse events, why they didn't tell the public about this. We can't sue the government, we can't sue the drug companies, we can't sue anyone.

ICANN is challenging the constitutionality of the CACP program that all COVID vaccine injuries are forced to file under. That press conference we did with Senator Johnson, Aaron Siri was able to, show just how big the problem has become with COVID vaccine injuries in general. Just knowing that it would stand behind us when we needed it, it meant the world. It really does take a unique set of people to have the guts to help us.

If Ican hadn't been involved with me, I don't know where I would be. Thank you I Can for always having my back and more importantly, having the back of every injured America in the U.S. Well, it's true. We definitely have Bree Dresson's back. And on this, we really want to help her out with a new initiative, a very important one. And it's my honor and pleasure to be joined right now by Bree. Bree, first of all, it's great to see you. You look fantastic, which is important because you've been through so much. I mean, it's just really been a heck of a road. Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah. You know, so you've really been a pioneer in. in getting these stories of COVID vaccine injury out to the world. But you're working on really doing a study right now.

So just tell me about that. What are you up to? Yeah. So as you know, there's a lot of fronts to this battle that we're all fighting, right? There's getting stories out, you know, connecting with people here in the heart, you know, so they can understand and feel the suffering and know what's going on that way. but in the legal front also and equally and if not more important angle for the fight. But the legal teams are medical teams and the government whether or not they're going to do anything.

But they all need a scientific data that they can rely on to go after, you know, whoever they're, you know, representing in court. And to do that, the government is not going to generate the data. data. The government is not providing any of the research dollars to make proper vaccine injury research happen. In fact, actually, through our advocacy organization, we've learned that they've been doing the opposite. They've been restricting our ability to, you know, to generate funds for research. So because of this, we've learned that we need to generate these research papers and these studies on our own. So we've teamed up with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, to

initiate a study for COVID vaccine injured Americans and actually people all over the world can participate okay we're looking for 2,500 participants we're going to look at symptoms treatments diagnosis and tests so we can then cluster these syndromes understand what is the difference between neurological complications versus cardiovascular complications what are the treatments that are effective for these different clusters of syndromes You know, natokinase isn't going to work for everybody, just like IVIG isn't going to work for everybody. Right. So we really need to be able to gather that information so we can better understand what these syndromes look like and then also how to effectively treat them.

And the goal for this is, is we've gone through the appropriate channels to make sure that this is an IRB approved legitimate study. And so what that means is that we will be able to take this information and then get it published into the, medical literature, which then will have the credibility needed to withstand the scrutiny that happens in court cases when people file for claims for compensation. So yes, we're really excited about this study. Very exciting and super important. It's amazing. It's great that you've got a university that's, you know, going to be working with you.

What will this entail for people that get involved? Obviously, we want everyone, I mean, does this require, is it, is it, is it? it mostly just a questionnaire or is there going to be blood tests? Like what, you know, what can someone expect that's, uh, that wants to get involved in being a part of this study? Well, we're hoping that this is the first step. Um, and of course it's a low budget study. So we're, we're making this as convenient and as easy on the patient as possible to participate. So from the comfort of your home, you can log in. Um, you can create a unique user ID that only you have access to your unique information is yours alone. You know, with everything

that we do, privacy is of the utmost importance. And because of PIPA laws and just the IRB in general, they really do take health information very, very seriously. The questionnaire it takes about 60 minutes, which we understand is very taxing for people that are suffering with injuries. And so people are able to save their place and come, you know, take a break, come. Come. back later and finish the study. So, and you can opt out at any time. And of course, if you have any questions about the study, you can reach out to the University of Maryland. And it's a pretty transparent and simple, straightforward study, how it's set up. So this is really important for all of you watching now. I know so many of you've started watching

the high wire because of things that, you know, the reactions you might have had to the COVID vaccine, but also so many of us know people that are dealing with health complications, this would be a really great opportunity. And I think it's really important, Brie, for people that are going through these things, sometimes it can feel so hopeless. And feeling like you're doing something that matters, I think many times is what helps get people through as they're on this journey to get their health back. So if you've got a friend that's really suffering, those, it can be a very, very lonely space. And actually, actually giving them the opportunity to feel like they can take what they're going through

and help somebody else and make a difference in this world is really actually a gift that you can deliver those people in that time. So let's bring the website up again. It's really simple. Obviously, you know, in all of our notes, you'll get this to react19.org slash study. If you are going through any COVID vaccine injury at all, please take part in this study. We want there to be more than enough to, you know, people signing up so that we can really get answers to this. And it is very confusing. Even for doctors that we know that have been dealing with vaccine injury for a very long time, this COVID vaccine is a brand new mystery. It brings a whole new set of issues that are very difficult.

But when we look at the more we can see more people and what's going on with them and what's working for them, what's not, hopefully you can really start helping people, you know, move out of this pain and injury and back into a productive life, which I know is something you've been working so hard at, Bree. I want to thank you for letting us be a part of helping you with this. What is the deadline? If people want to be involved with this, how soon do they have to sign up? Well, we have 700 participants currently enrolled, and we're planning on bringing on, you know, a max of 2,500. Okay. So by the end of this, year because we know that you know when I understand it myself personally you know I mean I still

deal with my vaccine injury 24 hours a day there's there's no relief that's going to come unless we the patients are going to figure it out yeah and this is our first step in doing that so by the end of 2023 we're hoping to wrap up the data collection portion of this study and then start you know fresh right the beginning of 2024 to start looking for solutions and answers for people. All right. Well, you know what to do. If you're out there, you have a friend that's out there, let's get involved in this right away so they can get to this important work. Breed, thank you for, you know, really soldiering on. And I'm always amazed at this movement that I got involved with with vaccine injury. The people that get injured themselves, have children that are injured,

end up being these voices. And, you know, it's just, it's amazing that with all, all that you're dealing with, the focus you get on trying to help others and protect others from making similar mistakes and finding ways forward, where energy is scarce. I know one of the big issues here is just having the energy to get through the day. It's really impressive what you've achieved. React 19 is doing such great work, and it's just an honor to be working with you guys. So we hope to fill this group of people up. We're going to hit the limit here. So everyone get involved. Breed, thank you for your incredible work.

Thank you so much. All right. Keep us posted. We'll talk to you soon.
