Dean Allison · 5:06:04
Tony, thank you so much for being here. We, we, we really appreciate it. And as a first-line responder, we appreciate, uh, what you've done.
Toni Lannigan · 5:06:14
I love my community.
Dean Allison · 5:06:15
It's so important.
Toni Lannigan · 5:06:16
Community.
Toni Lannigan · 5:06:16
I loved it.
Dean Allison · 5:06:17
Our nurses, our nurses actually are the ones on the front lines. Don't, don't tell the doctor next to you that, but he— no, I— all kidding.
Toni Lannigan · 5:06:26
Yes.
Dean Allison · 5:06:26
You know, you guys perform a great function, and I, I understand, as you know, you feel like you put yourself out in the community, uh, well respected. You know, people love, love what you do, and now you, now you're not able to do what you've always done.
Toni Lannigan · 5:06:40
No. Yeah, my identity was, that's what I was. I was a good mom. I was great with my community. I lost that that day, but I didn't let it take it. I was saying to some of the vaccine survivors here too that I stopped letting it consume me. So I'm back out there. I found a passion and I'm working with youth that can't, you know, always advocate for themselves. What a better way to be in your community and then do that. So I love my job again. I missed my old job.
Toni Lannigan · 5:07:20
I'd love to go back.
Toni Lannigan · 5:07:21
Like, you know, why didn't they ease me back into it? There was nothing. I lost my job. I didn't leave my job, lost it.
Dean Allison · 5:07:31
And now, now you As, as we, what we're trying to do is give people permission to speak publicly about these injuries. So we, we hope that not only that all the people that are here, but everyone in this country and Members of Parliament can start talking about this thing in a more public way, right? Because there's no way we can resolve any kind of resolution if we're not allowed to talk about these things, right?
Toni Lannigan · 5:07:55
Yes, exactly. And I appreciate you for doing this.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:07:58
Yes.
Dean Allison · 5:07:59
Well, we're going to, we're going to keep talking about it. We're not, we're not going to stop now. So, um, I, I appreciate your daughter being here today. Thanks so much.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:08
Uh, you know, I appreciate it.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:08:09
I needed it.
Dean Allison · 5:08:10
No kidding. But you know, talk to me about the relationship with your family.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:14
Yeah, no, she's my, uh, my best friend. Um, I, I'll just say this, and this is vulnerable of me to say, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't have her. I wouldn't have went through all this.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:25
It would have been too hard.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:26
It.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:26
So she's my reason.
Dean Allison · 5:08:28
And it sounds like you got good support at home.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:31
I do.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:32
I really do.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:08:33
Yeah, that's awesome.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:36
Thank you.
Dean Allison · 5:08:37
Well, Toni, thank you once again. We would really appreciate you taking the time to be here. And like I said, you, you thought at times you didn't want to be here, but your testimony is so important, and it's so important for everybody else to hear what you have to say. So thank you so much.
Toni Lannigan · 5:08:53
Thank you.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:08:54
Can I just add one thing? So here you are, you've had the anaphylactic shock, but that was just the beginning. Yeah, you're basically disabled. And the public health officer of your province, Heather Morrison, says publicly that you recovered and were okay, not naming you by name, but everyone knew they were talking about you. No, no, she's fine.
Toni Lannigan · 5:09:21
Yeah, there's an adverse reaction. They talked about it and they said that she's home recovering and fine. Dr. Heather Morrison, I reached out to you. Dennis King, I reached out to you. I wasn't fine and you never responded back to me.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:09:36
And they never, um, corrected the lie, the public lie.
Toni Lannigan · 5:09:41
No.
Myriam Bohémier · 5:09:43
Thank you. It's just been a pleasure having you here.
Toni Lannigan · 5:09:45
Thank you so much.
