The React19 Podcast

Julie Woods | Bringing the Stories of Canada’s Injured to the Allison Inquiry

Episode Notes

For far too long, people injured by COVID-19 vaccines have been ignored, dismissed, and left to suffer in silence.

Julie Woods knows that reality firsthand.

Rather than remain silent, Julie turned her own experience into advocacy. Through her work with React19 and CAN-Rise19, she has become a tireless voice for others who have been injured—and now she is preparing to bring that voice to the Allison Inquiry in Canada, taking place September 8–11.

The Allison Inquiry will give Canadians harmed by COVID-19 policies—including those living with vaccine injuries—an opportunity to tell their stories publicly and put their experiences on the record.

For Julie, this is more than testimony. She will be speaking not only from her own experience, but as an advocate representing thousands of vaccine-injured people whose stories have too often gone unheard.

Please listen to this important conversation with Julie as she shares her own journey, the work she is doing for the vaccine-injured, and what she hopes to accomplish when she takes their voices with her to the Allison Inquiry.

You can watch Julie her share her testimony at the Allison Inquiry on Thursday Sept. 10 at 3:05 PM EST.

The entire 4-day event event will be lived streamed.
