In Canada, Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) reports must be submitted by a registered health care professional. If you are a Canadian who believes that they have experienced a vaccine injury, talk to your doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, or pharmacist about submitting an AEFI report on your behalf. Once an AEFI report is completed by your provider, the local health unit, immunization authorities, and the Public Health Agency of Canada will be notified, and the occurrence will be entered into the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System (CAEFISS).

Community-minded Utah mom and preschool teacher Brianne Dressen wanted to play her part in helping to end the pandemic that shut down the world in 2020. What better way than to roll up her sleeves and participate in a clinical trial for the eagerly anticipated Covid vaccines? But something went terribly, terribly wrong. 
 
Part memoir, part medical mystery, part social commentary, Worth a Shot? tells the true story of what happened to Brianne’s body, mind, and spirit as she found herself embroiled in a medical, political, and cultural nightmare that had been looming over America for decades. This compelling page-turner reveals how Brianne uncovers unsettling truths about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry, leading her to question its control not just over doctors and drug trials, but also over free speech and the federal government.
 
Worth a Shot? chronicles Brianne’s journey as she discovers the intricate web of systemic failures that affect the health of millions worldwide, and unwittingly becomes a global advocate for a cause that nobody wants to believe exists. As she bravely battles the far-reaching influence of giant corporations, readers will be touched by the surprising allies who come to her aid, and the unexpected friendships made along the way. 
 
Worth a Shot? is a beautifully written and inspirational real-life account that will leave you questioning your own worldview. So much more than a whistleblower’s story, this book ultimately serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the human spirit as it fights to emerge from adversity with love . . . love for oneself, love for one’s community, and love for one's country.

Some got the shot willingly, trusting the drug companies and government regulatory agencies. Others took it reluctantly, on pain of losing their livelihoods if they did not. All were seriously harmed. Some of the injuries were devastating, even life-destroying. This book tells the stories of thirty-seven victims of the covid vaccine.

These stories speak of an often shocking level of medical gaslighting, but even more importantly they constitute a surprising testimonial to the power of the human spirit in overcoming adversity.

Follow the Silenced” is a feature length documentary (Best of Festival & Best Director winner at the 2025 Santa Monica International Film Festival) that sheds light on Americans who participated in early COVID‑19 vaccine trials and later suffered serious injuries . The film explores their struggle for appropriate medical care, how their voices were censored or stigmatized by media, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies, and how they found community and advocacy through organizations like REACT19. In just two sentences: it chronicles a deeply personal and human story of alleged COVID‑vaccine harm, censorship, and collective resilience, offering a critical look at institutional silence and grassroots advocacy.

This documentary delves into the challenges and complexities surrounding difficult but essential conversations. It explores why certain topics be they social, political, or personal are often avoided, and encourages viewers to confront and engage with these issues thoughtfully.
