Brie Dressen thought she was doing the right thing when she signed up for the AstraZeneca vaccine trial in 2020. She subsequently joined the growing number of vaccine-injured people at a press conference in Washington D.C. She wrote a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine complaining that their report of her injury was incomplete. And as it turns out, other injuries as well. And Brie has been, because she's so eloquent, and articulate, she has emerged as this extraordinary leader. She is somebody that the other side, the medical cartel, needs to silence. She has been evicted from the social media platforms because she talks about her vaccine injury. And I want to talk to you about that. Let s hear the whole chronicle from the beginning, because I was so confident in the vaccines that I signed up to the clinical trial here in the U.S. She s in Utah, right? She s a preschool teacher, and she can t call in sick because she needs to be there to care for her little kids. And so she signs up to do her part to help save lives. And she s here to talk about it! In this episode, Brie talks about what happened to her, and how it all happened, and why it s so important to do our part to save lives and keep our little kids safe from this pandemic. And why we should all pay attention to the little kids in the first place. She s not here to just listen to the stories of people who have been affected by vaccines, but to be educated about it, so they can have a chance to know the truth about it. We re here to help them understand what s really going on, and they can be helped, not just to make it so that it s not so bad, and so they don t have it like that, and we can have it, and that s not just a story, and it s all a good one, right right here, right here in a place, right in the rest of it, right at it all, right across the other place, so we can all have it all right, right on it, all of it... Thank you for listening to it, my hero, thank you, Thank you, my Hero, Thank You, My Hero, My Friend, Thank Me, My Good Friend, My Brother, My Best Friend, and Thank You Thank You... Thank You & Thank You.
00:00:00.000Everybody, I'm really happy to have as my guest on today's podcast one of my heroes, Brie Dressen, who's known as the kind of Joan of Arc of this vaccinology crusade.
00:00:12.000And Brie thought she was doing the right thing when she signed up for the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine trial in 2020.
00:00:21.000She subsequently joined the growing number of severely vaccine-injured people at a press conference in Washington, D.C. Following the press conference, she wrote a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, which of course is one of the premier medical journals in the world.
00:00:40.000Complaining that their report of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was incomplete because AstraZeneca had not properly reported her injury.
00:00:52.000And as it turns out, other injuries as well.
00:00:56.000And Brie has been, because she's so eloquent, And articulate.
00:01:03.000And she's emerged as this extraordinary leader.
00:01:06.000She is somebody that the other side, the medical cartel, needs to silence.
00:01:12.000So she has been evicted from the social media platforms because she talks about her vaccine injury.
00:01:29.000It's a long timeline because I was so confident in the COVID vaccines that I signed up for the clinical trial here in the United States for AstraZeneca.
00:02:20.000And I started having these strange sensations in my hearing.
00:02:25.000So it started to sound like I had seashells on both of my ears.
00:02:29.000And I just remember looking at my husband and thinking, you know, something's not right here.
00:02:34.000And so that night I had a typical vaccine response where you have the fever and the malaise, but that had all resolved by morning.
00:02:40.000But the sensory issues that had started the night before had actually become worse.
00:02:46.000So I got up to get ready for work because I'm a preschool teacher.
00:02:49.000So you can't call in sick, you know, these little kids depend on me every day to show up and, and And help them and have continuity, you know, in their routines.
00:02:58.000It's significant for little people to have, you know, routine and the same people in their lives that they can trust and rely on to help them.
00:03:05.000So I get up to go to work, and my left leg is slumped, and I started walking into the left side of the doorways.
00:03:52.000Because you would think If there was something wrong, a test clinic would actually follow up with you if you reported some strange symptoms.
00:03:58.000But I didn't hear back from the first day.
00:04:00.000The second day, more symptoms stacked on.
00:04:03.000I started having some severe vibrations, which still haunt me to this day.
00:04:07.000The third day, they finally called me back, and I went in for a neurological exam.
00:04:12.000And they did a pretty thorough exam and they said, you know, it looks like you might have MS. And AstraZeneca did have one case of MS pop up in the UK before my injury.
00:04:23.000And so they recommended that I go get that checked out.
00:04:25.000I called all the offices in the Valley and they all said, we can't see you for three months.
00:04:29.000You need to go to the ER. So that landed me in the ER the first of six ER visits.
00:04:35.000So it was kind of strange because they ran all of the tests, lumbar punctures, CT scans, Did you say the first of 60?
00:07:17.000The reaction takes over your body, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:07:21.000But Hold on and hope that you survive.
00:07:23.000So by wake three, I landed in the hospital because my legs stopped working and I had become incontinent.
00:07:30.000And at that point, my husband was extremely concerned that he was going to lose me, you know, that I was going to die, especially just because the physicians had no idea what was going on.
00:07:38.000The test clinic wasn't returning our calls.
00:07:41.000And so he asked the test clinic and the physicians in my hospital, is it reasonable to get her unblinded so we can actually identify what's happening to her?
00:07:49.000And so the test clinic said, yes, we need to, because she was admitted to the hospital.
00:07:53.000Unfortunately, what I've learned now is that's a tactic that they use to kind of Brush aside these serious adverse events.
00:08:01.000And from a scientific standpoint, that appears to be, to me, the integrity of science is at stake if you're brushing aside serious adverse events like what happened with me.
00:08:12.000What you're talking about is They subtracted you from the study.
00:09:01.000And we said, missing a couple of zeros, don't you think?
00:09:05.000And they said, oh, maybe we don't have all the information.
00:09:08.000We said, don't issue a payment, go back and try again.
00:09:11.000They wired the $590 to my account anyway.
00:09:15.000And then just recently, just last week, they sent a settlement offer to my account for $1,243.
00:09:25.000And in the settlement, I have to agree to waive all liability and any responsibility from the drug company.
00:09:33.000The value of my life to the drug company is worth $1,200 plus the $590.
00:09:41.000Like to me, that blows my mind because I haven't talked to them since the end of January about my actual physical condition.
00:09:48.000So when the journal, the New England Journal of Medicine published the report of the AstraZeneca clinical trial, and that was the end of September, I was more than happy to look at it and see, you know, okay, what data are they actually collecting?
00:10:05.000Because I was genuinely curious what had been going on through this time, because I haven't heard anything.
00:10:11.000In the second paragraph in the report, They discuss how they follow up with all serious adverse events for 730 days.
00:10:19.000A serious adverse event qualifies if you were admitted to the hospital or if you had died.
00:10:24.000I definitely was admitted to the hospital and without question I can say they did not follow up with me for anything near 730 days.
00:10:35.000So that's hit number one where, okay, there's some questions that need answered.
00:10:39.000Question number two comes up and then later on further down in the report, they have a flow chart and they discuss how those that could not get the second dose, which that's me because I was only able to get one dose.
00:10:51.000And then I was unblinded because I was admitted to the hospital.
00:10:54.000It was confirmed that I did receive the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine at that time.
00:10:59.000And I also, yeah, so they say in the report that people chose to forego getting the second dose.
00:11:06.000There is no mention of people actually being withdrawn, which is what happened to me.
00:11:10.000Because when they unblinded me, they said, because of your serious adverse event, we recommend that you not get the second shot.
00:11:16.000As far as the rest of the report, I can't find any of my information in there.
00:11:22.000So of course, my husband's a scientist.
00:11:24.000And so for him to go from being totally confident in the science, that the science is what's going to get us out of the pandemic, right?
00:11:33.000Follow the science, follow the science.
00:11:35.000So we thought we were doing our part to contribute to the scientific process.
00:11:39.000And instead what's happened is a totally different process than what we believed in, what we were led to understand, what was actually happening with the data.
00:11:53.000So I actually submitted a complaint to the New England Journal of Medicine.
00:11:57.000And this is actual standard protocol for when there is a discrepancy in a scientific report.
00:12:03.000You can submit to ask them to rectify the situation.
00:12:07.000I heard back from Not an admin at the New England Journal of Medicine.
00:12:13.000I heard back from Eric Rubin at the New England Journal of Medicine.
00:12:17.000He also is on the Vaccine Advisory Committee for the 5 to 11-year-olds with the FDA. And he's the guy that unfortunately has become infamous for saying We won't know what happens with these vaccines until we start giving it to kids.
00:12:32.000And so he was the one that elected to contact me directly about my complaint with the AstraZeneca report.
00:12:40.000Unfortunately, he offered to forward on my complaint to AstraZeneca directly, but then later on in the email dialogue, he declined.
00:12:48.000And he said, you probably need to reach out to them yourself.
00:12:50.000But to be honest, I don't know how your case, because you're one in tens of thousands, is going to be relevant.
00:12:59.000There were 180 people who disappeared from the study after the first dose.
00:13:09.000It's quite possible, as far as we know, that other people had reactions like yours, and because they withdrew, AstraZeneca simply pretended as if those reactions had not happened.
00:13:26.000It would be nice for them to answer the question, right?
00:13:29.000I mean, I think that it's very fair for the American public, for the world, to have the answers to that question.
00:13:37.000So Eric Rubin also, he said that the only people that have the full data from these clinical trials is the drug companies.
00:13:48.000Okay, so they're the only ones that have the data.
00:13:52.000By the way, Eric Rubin sits on the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices, and as you said, he said, we will not know the impacts, the safety, until we start giving these to children.
00:14:06.000And then, at the same time, he voted to give them to children.
00:14:10.000So he's basically voting to have a mass population experiment, and We will learn whether this vaccine is safe if enough people are reporting injuries.
00:14:24.000And then he becomes part of the process of covering up those injuries once they're reported.
00:14:32.000And it blows my mind that we have, there's massive amounts of conflict of interest on many members in those advisory committee.
00:14:42.000You know, this is old news to you, but I mean, we have all of the people in the executive boards, they're At these drug companies going in and out in different positions at the FDA and the CDC. The vast majority.
00:14:56.000How much funding is the FDA getting again from the drug companies?
00:15:15.000And another by an HHS committee, an ethics committee in HHS in 2008.
00:15:22.000That investigation found 97% of people who sat on those committees had potential conflicts of interest, and most of them were unreported.
00:15:35.000And what we now know is that virtually everybody who sits on those committees is receiving funding from the Gates Foundation or from Tony Fauci.
00:16:00.000They spent a lot of time and a lot of resources to cross their T's and dot their I's globally to make sure that they were liability and accountability free.
00:16:11.000And then you've got this conflict of interest from the top down in the agencies at the CDC and the FDA and the NIH. What possibly could go wrong here for people that, in my situation, who fall through the cracks and have a life-altering adverse event to the COVID vaccines?
00:16:29.000So until we actually look at the problems, right, we're not going to get anywhere.
00:16:36.000The integrity of science is at stake here.
00:17:28.000I didn't talk about my own COVID vaccine injury publicly until June.
00:17:34.000So I went from November until June, keeping my symptoms and my suffering to myself and my close family and my preschool parents.
00:17:43.000And even my preschool parents, I didn't tell them what actually happened.
00:17:46.000I just said I got really sick and I needed to close the preschool.
00:17:49.000So for me to go from someone that was that invested and that concerned about causing vaccine hesitancy to where I am now, where I see the flaws, I see the inhumane way that these injured people are being treated, how they're being cast aside and marginalized.
00:18:10.000And I know it in my bones that this needs to be rectified, that these people deserve better.
00:18:17.000And the classic example like we're talking about is Facebook and Google, Instagram, YouTube, and mainstream media as well.
00:18:25.000And I'm sure that you would agree with me.
00:18:28.000I would gladly talk to CNN. I would gladly talk to BBC, any of these mainstream media outlets.
00:18:34.000There is a reason that these stories are not blasted on those outlets.
00:18:38.000It's not because they haven't talked to us.
00:18:41.000It's not because they haven't looked at the data.
00:18:43.000It's not because they haven't reviewed our medical records.
00:18:46.000I've talked to three reporters at the New York Times myself.
00:18:54.000BBC, they have my medical records, they have my records from the NIH, they know what's happened, they know what's happening, and they still can't run it.
00:19:03.000So this isn't some kind of right wing, left wing thing.
00:19:06.000There's definite censorship happening, and it's alarming.
00:19:09.000Because freedom of information and freedom of speech in this country needs to be protected.
00:19:16.000We need people to actually stand up and be willing to protect our freedom of speech.
00:19:21.000And that also includes holding these, not just mainstream media, but the social media companies accountable.
00:19:27.000We set up support groups starting last spring because we started realizing really fast that there were hundreds and then thousands of us.
00:19:34.000So they have shut down at least four of my support groups.
00:20:24.000I mean, just a very simple community for these people to feel like they have a place where they can go to get answers, ask questions, and so they could rely on each other for support.
00:20:35.000And in many cases, this support has been life-saving.
00:20:38.000Without question, we have saved lives.
00:20:41.000But also what's tragic is because of what's Facebook and the other social media platforms has done is we have, without question, lost lives as well.
00:21:09.000So between the two groups, we had a little bit over 2000 people in those first two groups.
00:21:14.000And what you're doing for those people If you're talking about protocols that work, that have worked for people in the group that they otherwise cannot learn about, you're talking about doctors who can treat these conditions,
00:21:32.000these unique rare doctors who are actually trying to treat vaccine injury and are developing Drug regimens and protocols that in some cases have been very successful.
00:21:45.000And the only way that these people can find those doctors is through these Facebook groups.
00:21:52.000And you're also serving as a kind of a A group therapy or support groups are people who are otherwise totally isolated in the universe who are being marginalized and gaslighted officially or being told by their doctors, hospitals, by AstraZeneca.
00:22:14.000Pfizer, Moderna, that what they're going through is not happening, who are being officially disappeared from any kind of recognition and who are being punished because they're reporting these injuries in a variety of ways.
00:22:34.000And the only place that can get answers and support are on these groups.
00:22:39.000And Mark Zuckerberg is Killing these groups to make sure you guys can't talk to each other.
00:22:46.000It's been shocking to see what's happened.
00:22:49.000We spend just as much time trying to source people to get appropriate medical care and the support that they need emotionally as we do trying to circumvent the latest games that Facebook is pulling to try to pull us apart.
00:23:14.000So, you know, of course, people say the V. And even on Facebook, if you say the word vaccine, or if you say I was injured by the COVID vaccine, your account will be shadow banned, and you will be coded as misinformation.
00:23:29.000And there was a news article that was run here.
00:23:32.000It was like the most pro-vax news story in the history of vaccine injuries.
00:23:38.000Like the opening line was vaccines save lives.
00:23:42.000And then we talk about my COVID vaccine injury because we knew that was the only way that mainstream media was going to run it.
00:23:47.000And someone put that news article up in the group and said, hey, it looks like maybe the mainstream is going to talk about this.
00:23:53.000And just that news article pulled the whole group down because that news article could cause physical harm.
00:24:01.000So Facebook genuinely believes that we cause physical harm just by saying what happened And I don't know any other circumstance where that is okay.
00:24:16.000You used the word one of your groups was able to stay up.
00:24:22.000Instead of using the word vaccine, you used the word dancing.
00:27:44.000The NIH knows and they know at a very acute level what is happening to the vaccine injured.
00:27:51.000We thought that they were on our side and that they were going to publish and essentially provide a way out for everybody.
00:27:59.000And as you can see, that hasn't happened.
00:28:02.000And instead of opening doors for us, doors have closed repeatedly.
00:28:06.000And this started pretty shortly after I started drilling down with the FDA. So I started because it was obvious by May and June that the government wasn't doing their job and they didn't have any intention of doing their job.
00:28:21.000Me and other vaccine injured had been reaching out individually directly to the heads of the FDA So Janet Woodcock, the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, the NIH, Anthony Fauci, Alkeus Tagayas, which is also at the NIH. I think he might be number two there.
00:30:15.000She was very nice, but in the news interview that she had with about 13 of us, she described how she had been strongly intimidated by a higher up at Pfizer when she reached out to them to ask for a comment on the story.
00:30:44.000Everybody has very thorough medical reports to corroborate our claims.
00:30:50.000Those didn't make it to the mainstream media.
00:30:52.000The press showed up to that first press conference, Senator Johnson did.
00:30:56.000But instead of actually showing our faces, they turned around and they said, Senator Johnson is spreading misinformation, blah, blah, blah, right?
00:31:18.000The second press conference we did, bigger, in Washington DC, we invited more press, and I think we had one mainstream media press person in the room.
00:31:35.000If you think about historically, when there's corruption in the United States, you know, maybe some other democracies across the world, people actually hold these agencies accountable.
00:34:10.000And in the informed consent, they talked about one case of MS that had popped up in the UK and one case of transverse myelitis that had popped up in the UK. But there was no other side effects that they had indicated.
00:34:22.000They did talk about autoantibody enhancement in chimpanzees, which I thought was a little strange, but they said, but we haven't seen it in humans, so it's fine.
00:34:47.000About a week into my vaccine reaction, they had me come back into the clinic.
00:34:52.000And at that point, sound and light had become so severe that even I had to have the darkest sunglasses I could find.
00:35:00.000And I had to have my little earmuffs on.
00:35:02.000And I went into the clinic because they thought I had COVID because my symptoms...
00:35:06.000We're so similar to actual COVID. They said, we need to test you for COVID. So I went in, they have their space suits on, you know, and they came in with the laptop and they said, we have a new informed consent document that you need to sign or else we're not going to help you.
00:36:09.000So they got what they needed out of me.
00:36:11.000I didn't get what I needed out of them.
00:36:13.000Was it a university test center there?
00:36:16.000So it wasn't at the University of Utah.
00:36:18.000This was a private company, Velocity Clinical Research.
00:36:21.000But I was seen at the University of Utah, which is a research institution here.
00:36:25.000That's where I was admitted to the hospital.
00:36:27.000And because the medications didn't work for three days, they diagnosed me with anxiety and sent me home with intensive physical and occupational therapy because of my anxiety.
00:36:37.000So your legs stop working and you're peeing your pants and it's anxiety.
00:36:42.000And it's so severe that you have to be sent home with intensive in-home physical therapy because of your anxiety.
00:36:49.000So because I figured, you know, it's like, well, it's brand new.
00:37:17.000Okay, tell us how people can reach you, how they can support you.
00:37:22.000Of course, I want people who are listening to the podcast know that our legal team is meeting with Brie.
00:37:31.000We are talking about different kinds of losses, which were very helpful.
00:37:37.000We can't go into the details, but tell us how people can support you, Brie.
00:37:43.000Well, there's many things that people can support us.
00:37:46.000Number one, we just need people to talk about this.
00:37:48.000We need people to acknowledge that these issues are real.
00:37:51.000And they just need to start talking about this.
00:37:54.000And not like in a way of, hey, this is why you shouldn't get the COVID vaccine.
00:37:58.000You know, the most effective way that I've been able to communicate with my friends about this whole issue in general is to start with their perspective.
00:38:06.000And if their view is that COVID vaccines are saving lives and anyone that speaks out against them are murderers, you got to start with that perspective and start to draw them in.
00:38:16.000And by doing that, you say, okay, Acknowledge where they're at and then say, okay, what about this other perspective?
00:38:23.000What about people that do fall through the cracks?
00:38:24.000What about people that do have side effects?
00:38:26.000Because side effects do happen with all drugs.
00:38:29.000Side effects happen with all vaccines.
00:38:32.000And start asking some of those questions.
00:38:34.000Just kind of slowly start the conversation.
00:38:38.000people back to the middle because what's happening is we've got people on the far right and the far left and it's just getting more and more polarized well the problem with that is is that you've got really good people that are suffering and we're being buried under all of that noise which is unfortunate because we're the ones that need the help right We shouldn't be drowning out these voices.
00:39:00.000So the first thing we need to do is start the conversation and get people to listen.
00:39:03.000The second is through organizations like react19.org.
00:39:52.000So we figured we have to do this ourselves.
00:39:54.000And part of our organization is we're building a network of physicians.
00:39:59.000So if there's physicians that are actually willing to see the vaccine injured, we're looking for compassionate physicians.
00:40:04.000We're looking for researchers that can help set up IRBs so we can appropriately get some research published into the scientific literature to start the conversation with the medical community.
00:40:16.000And we also are working on a couple of fundraisers just to help increase awareness.
00:40:20.000And through REACT-19, we have a REACT care fund for those individuals that need essential medical care but can't afford it.
00:40:29.000So there's quite a few ways that people can help.
00:40:33.000And the problem is that the list is long and it's just getting longer because people are growing more and more isolated.
00:40:40.000It's tragic what's happened to everybody.
00:40:43.000And I myself, like I'm feeling better.
00:40:45.000I was very, very lucky to be one of 20 people that was flown out to the NIH to participate in their research.
00:40:53.000And so there I was able to get very high dollar, top of the line treatment.
00:41:14.000Every single person on this planet that's had this COVID reaction, they should be afforded some kind of compassionate care, someone to recognize them and see them for what's going on.
00:41:24.000Thank you for your heroism, for your commitment, and your compassion for all the people who are injured.
00:41:33.000And we, of course, will continue to be working with you.
