Hello, my name is Teresa Buckley. And I'm a volunteer, and I just want to share with you just a little story about my daughter-in-law. And when I spoke with her about what it was that Sean and I were doing with MP Dean Allison, I told her about a yoga instructor that I had. Her name was Drew Taylor. She testified at the National Citizens Inquiry as well. Jew Taylor was a power yoga instructor. She was the strongest woman I'd ever known. She could just— she could do amazing things. She was so strong. Mother of two, 32 years old, happily married. She took one COVID-19 vaccine, and within an hour she was in the hospital, and she remained there for quite a while. She finally started to get better and she was released.

And for her reasons, she got a second shot. The details behind that are her story, they're not mine. I'm just here to share to— with you that after she got her second shot, she now needs a walker. She has POTS and she faints about 30 times a day. I think it's time that Canadians listen. I think it's time for people like Drew Taylor have a voice, and I think they need to be heard. When I was sharing this with my daughter-in-law, I told her about Drew's story And what my daughter-in-law told me was, I just don't understand why no one's talking about it. Why is everyone quiet?
