Dean Allison · 3:45:47

Our next witness is Stéphanie Giguère. I, I'm sorry, I just pronounced that wrong, didn't I? I'm not doing very well today. Stéphanie Giguère, uh, Stéphanie Giguère, will you take the Bible in your right hand? Stéphanie Giguère, do you promise or swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:46:14

I do.

Dean Allison · 3:46:16

I'd like to introduce you to the inquiry. In our previous interview, you made it clear that you've never had COVID.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:46:24

No.

Dean Allison · 3:46:25

And you are 46 years old. You have two—.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:46:29

I was 40 at the time.

Dean Allison · 3:46:30

Right. But today you're 46.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:46:32

Oh, apologies.

Dean Allison · 3:46:33

Yeah. No, no worries. You're 46. You've got two children. You You were a psychotherapist for the region's health authority, Interior Health in British Columbia. You have a Bachelor of Arts in psychiatry, a master's in counseling psychology, and you were volunteering with a couple of churches. You were hiking, swimming, gardening, foraging, as you described it. You smile about that. And you had no health conditions. You were on no medications. You were in good health. And fully functional prior to the vaccine.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:47:11

My bachelor's in psychology and behavioral science, not psychiatry.

Dean Allison · 3:47:16

Thank you for correcting me on that.

James Thorp · 3:47:18

So on the age, and I'm right on the bachelor.

Dean Allison · 3:47:24

Um, can you share with us your journey?

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:47:28

So I knew you were going to ask this question, and my journey probably takes 7 days to describe. There's many facets to what happened to me. I mean, medical, psychological, social, political. I'm, I'm, I'm thinking you're asking about my patient journey.

Dean Allison · 3:47:48

I'm, I'm, I'm asking you about your vaccine journey because you only had one shot.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:47:53

Yes.

Dean Allison · 3:47:54

And that was Moderna on January 21st, 2021. Um, and you had an immediate reaction.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:48:03

I did.

Dean Allison · 3:48:04

And so I'm wanting you to start there. So, okay.

Speaker L · 3:48:09

Um, well, I was exposed to the product, as, uh, Deanna McLean—.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:48:17

McLeod explained this morning. I'm going to try to stick with that. I was exposed to the mRNA product on that day around 11:30. And nothing happened immediately. However, after I came back from lunch, about 90 minutes later, I noticed that my hands were going numb. I was typing a, actually a report for a lawyer's office at the time, and I, I can type like the wind, or I used to. And at that point, my hands my right up to my elbows really started feeling numb. I described to my husband my hands felt like dough, like they were completely useless. At that point, I was— and at that point, I believe my executive functioning had started declining also because I was quite disoriented. And I can speak to the— clinically, we speak of judgment, and my judgment was way off.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:49:20

I'm at a point where I'm trying to finish my report with my elbows because sending this is more important than whatever is happening to me at the moment. So immediate neurological harm happened to me.

Dean Allison · 3:49:36

Even, even driving home was a lack of judgment. Can you describe how you, you drove home? Because you've lost ability of your—.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:49:43

Yeah, instead of going to the hospital, I drove home with my Wrist, you know, put into gear like that, went home. Um, yeah, I was scared. And from there, um, the headache started. I had the worst headache of my life. Um, it was pain in my brain, and there's a difference between pain in your brain and a headache. Um, there was pressure in my head, um, that lasted for 23 days, and, and, and I I can describe this simply, maybe, by saying that I remember being like sitting in the car as a passenger from then on and, and looking at these concrete stairs just outside the car. And I thought if I could just bang my head hard enough on these concrete stairs, maybe I could break my skull and maybe my brain would be okay. This is, this is how painful this was. And I could hear inside my skull, it was like, it was like Pop Rocks, it was crackling as it went in there.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:50:50

And it just kept going day and night. And my entire body was in horrible pain. And then my heart rate very soon started like, out of nowhere going up, you know, 130. Resting heart rate, 160 resting heart rate. So just a great deal of, of pain and multi-system turmoil. And then I started losing my words. And I am a woman of words. I have made an entire career out of words. Careful words, some, some of them elaborate. And so to start slurring and stuttering and having no capacity to find words, to produce any coherent sentences, whether in my head or through my mouth, and then losing my motor control. I mean, this was the most scary experience of my life.

Stéphanie Giguère · 3:51:52

It was the most painful experience of my life. And there's more. I started having weakness in my legs. I started falling to the ground. I started having problems with proprioception where I didn't know where my body was. I couldn't, I couldn't do this, you know, bring a glass to my mouth. I dumped the liquid on my lap. I'd poke myself in the face with my forks. I lost a lot of weight just because I couldn't eat properly to feed myself. Um, so there was just, just a lot that was happening. Just a lot.
