Shawn Buckley · 7:50:36

Yes.

Dean Allison · 7:50:36

The question that bothers me is you get vaccine and you get injury for that. And there are two different things, not getting vaccinated and getting vaccinated and getting injured after that.

Shawn Buckley · 7:50:50

That.

Dean Allison · 7:50:50

So when you talk to people and they are not able to, uh, say, relate to that, that there is a difference, what do you think is, uh, that needs to be done as a society? As a, as what's missing there?

Jannine Duffy · 7:51:03

Information. If I'd had more information on what was going, like, what was happening, um, I probably would not have gotten the vaccine, but I was essential worker. Yeah, I don't know. I just, I feel like we were lied to and the information that just wasn't out there and being this dirty little secret.

Jennifer Britain · 7:51:30

I believe advocacy is another one as well. And being the lucid person who was healthy, who spent this much time in the hospital with someone who was unwell and watching and hearing other people try and navigate the system and how quickly they were turned away and denied and, and spent hours and hours in the hospital. And it's really hard to advocate for yourself. And I know my mom would be in a very different position if I hadn't been there fighting for her, beside her as well. So I think that's a piece we're lacking. And I thought this many times as we were driving to the emergency room, saying, man, I wish everybody had someone like me beside them. Because they deserve it.

Shawn Buckley · 7:52:11

Thank you, ladies. Thank you very much, Dean and Sarah, for, for being such a strong advocate for your mother.

Jennifer Britain · 7:52:17

Shawn Buckley · 7:52:19

Not everyone has a chance to have a strong advocate, and I think that makes a big difference as well.

Jennifer Britain · 7:52:23

Yeah, I think so too.

Jannine Duffy · 7:52:24

Thank you guys very much for doing this.

Jennifer Britain · 7:52:27
