Why Are Vaccine-Injured Canadians Still Fighting to Be Heard?
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Shawn Buckley
Lawyer Shawn Buckley gives an update on the upcoming Allison Inquiry and what he’s hearing while interviewing Canadians who say they were seriously injured following COVID-19 vaccination. He discusses why some say they have struggled to be acknowledged by doctors, questions surrounding Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program, the process applicants face when seeking compensation, and why some witnesses are now reportedly backing out of the inquiry because of pressure from family or fears about losing benefits. The Allison Inquiry takes place September 8–11 in Ottawa, with Talk Truth there to cover and livestream the hearings.
