Julie Woods | Bringing the Stories of Canada’s Injured to the Allison Inquiry
For far too long, people injured by COVID-19 vaccines have been ignored, dismissed, and left to suffer in silence. Julie Woods knows that reality firsthand. Rather than remain silent, Julie turned her own experience into advocacy. Through her work with React19 and CAN-Rise19, she has become a tireless voice for others who have been injured—and now she is preparing to bring that voice to the Allison Inquiry in Canada, taking place September 8–11. The Allison Inquiry will give Canadians harmed by COVID-19 policies—including those living with vaccine injuries—an opportunity to tell their stories publicly and put their experiences on the record. For Julie, this is more than testimony. She will be speaking not only from her own experience, but as an advocate representing thousands of vaccine-injured people whose stories have too often gone unheard. Please listen to this important conversation with Julie as she shares her own journey, the work she is doing for the vaccine-injured, and what she hopes to accomplish when she takes their voices with her to the Allison Inquiry. You can watch Julie her share her testimony at the Allison Inquiry on Thursday Sept. 10 at 3:05 PM EST. The entire 4-day event event will be lived streamed.

Dean Allison, Shawn & Teresa Buckley | Breaking the Silence: The Allison Inquiry
Like their injured counterparts in the United States, for years Canadians who have been injured following COVID-19 vaccination have endured not only devastating physical injuries, but another painful injustice: being dismissed, disbelieved, silenced, and too often abandoned by the very systems they trusted to help them. Many have been left to navigate life-altering illness, financial hardship, and profound personal loss while fighting simply to have their experiences acknowledged. This September, the Allison Inquiry seeks to break that silence. In this episode, Canadian Member of Parliament Dean Allison, constitutional lawyer and inquiry counsel Shawn Buckley, and Teresa Buckley, who is helping organize and coordinate the inquiry, discuss why the Allison Inquiry was created and what they hope will happen when vaccine-injured Canadians finally bring their stories directly to Parliament Hill. They discuss the failures and frustrations surrounding Canada’s vaccine injury support system, the fear that still keeps some injured Canadians and medical professionals from speaking publicly, what was learned from Canada’s earlier National Citizens Inquiry, and the challenge of getting lawmakers to listen. At the heart of the Allison Inquiry is a simple but critical truth: there can be no meaningful path forward—and no rebuilding of public trust—without a willingness to have difficult and honest conversations. Ignoring the injured will not restore trust. Listening to them, acknowledging what they have endured, and being willing to confront difficult questions is where that process must begin. The Allison Inquiry will take place September 8–11, 2026, beginning each day at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, with more than 50 witnesses expected to participate over the four days. The proceedings will be livestreamed, giving people throughout Canada, the United States, and around the world the opportunity to hear these stories firsthand. 00:00 – Why Vaccine-Injured Canadians Feel Abandoned 00:54 – Welcome to the React19 Podcast 01:51 – Meet the Team Behind the Allison Inquiry 02:34 – What Is the Allison Inquiry — and Why Now? 06:29 – How the Inquiry Will Give the Injured a Voice 08:15 – The Enormous Effort to Bring Injured Canadians to Ottawa 11:27 – Why Can’t We Talk About Vaccine Injury? ~17:00 – The National Citizens Inquiry & What It Revealed 21:21 – Why Some Injured Canadians Are Still Afraid to Speak 23:49 – What Makes the Allison Inquiry Different 26:50 – Will Members of Parliament Show Up and Listen? 32:31 – Why Doctors and Politicians Aren’t Talking About Vaccine Injury 38:00 – The Failure of Vaccine Injury Compensation & the Need for Change 51:45 – Is Public Opinion Finally Beginning to Change? 56:53 – What They Hope the Allison Inquiry Will Accomplish 58:31 – When, Where & How to Watch the Allison Inquiry Live Allison Inquiry https://covidtestimony.com/ On X: https://x.com/AllisonInquiry Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllisonInquiry Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllisonInquiry Dean Allison: https://x.com/DeanAllisonMP https://www.facebook.com/deanallison.mp Shawn Buckley https://x.com/Shawnbuckleylaw https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579388468476 Film Discussed: Why Can’t We Talk About This? https://raineymedia.com/video-store/ If you would like to donate to help those who have suffered so greatly: https://react19.org/donate/ Every dollar goes directly to the injured!

Katy Talento | From Blocking RFK Jr. to Hacking the Systems that Control our Health
In this episode of the React 19 Podcast, We ask the question “Who is Hell is Katy Talento and why should you know about her?” And the answer is “Because she is a hero and we need more like her!” Katy Talento is a Harvard-trained epidemiologist, licensed naturopathic doctor, and CEO of All Better Health. As the top health advisor at the White House Domestic Policy Council, Katy spearheaded transformative policies to end secret health care prices across the United States, end predatory medical collections practices, lower prescription drug prices, guarantee health records access and interoperability for patients and their care teams. Katy was once the “White House Priestess” who kept RFK Jr. out of the West Wing over vaccine safety concerns. Today she publicly apologizes, shares her COVID-era awakening, explains why MAHA reforms face so much resistance inside the White House, and reveals how the healthcare system’s profit-driven incentives keep costs sky-high while harming patients.She also breaks down practical ways employers and families can escape the broken insurance model, why independent doctors and cash-pay options often deliver better outcomes at a fraction of the price, and why the best healthcare strategy is simply not needing the system in the first place. This is a conversation for everyone concerned about their health, rising medical costs, and the fight for medical freedom.

Renée Gentry, Esq.|The Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act Explained
After years of overwhelming claim denials, limited benefits, virtually no transparency, and no meaningful opportunity for injured individuals to have their cases heard, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) has left thousands of COVID-19 vaccine-injured Americans without a viable path to justice. In this episode, leading vaccine injury attorney Renée Gentry explains how the proposed Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act (H.R. 9672) would move eligible COVID-19 vaccine injury claims into the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), providing access to an actual court process, attorney representation, broader compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as well as the opportunity to finally have their claims fairly considered. Renee also addresses who would qualify, the concerns many in the vaccine-injured community have about the legislation, the critical filing deadlines, and why supporters believe Congress must act now. Renée Gentry is a Distinguished Professorial Lecturer in Law and Director of the Vaccine Injury Litigation Clinic at George Washington University Law School. With more than 25 years of experience, she is one of the nation's leading experts in vaccine injury litigation and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty | The Moral Limits of Public Health
What happens when public health policy collides with the foundational principles of medical ethics? In this thought-provoking episode of The React19 Podcast, Ann sits down with psychiatrist, medical ethicist, and author Aaron Kheriaty to explore the ethical questions raised by the COVID-19 era and why those questions remain critically important today. Dr. Kheriaty shares his journey from directing medical ethics at UC Irvine School of Medicine to challenging COVID vaccine mandates in federal court and becoming a plaintiff in the landmark free speech case Missouri v. Biden. Together, they examine informed consent, bodily autonomy, censorship, public health policy, and the growing tension between individual rights and utilitarian approaches to healthcare. The conversation goes beyond mandates and lawsuits to address deeper philosophical questions: What does it mean to be human? What is the proper role of medicine? Can science answer every question, or has society embraced scientism in place of genuine scientific inquiry? And what are the consequences when health becomes society's highest value? Drawing from his books The New Abnormal and Making the Cut, Dr. Kheriaty offers a compelling framework for understanding the ethical, cultural, and spiritual challenges exposed during the pandemic—and why those lessons matter for the future.

Kristen Trawitzki | A Harrowing Journey Through Injury and Hope
When Kristen Trawitzki's husband was finally ready to come home after a life-threatening battle with COVID, her family was told he could not be released unless Kristen and her children were vaccinated. Feeling they had no real choice, they complied—and Kristen says their lives changed almost immediately. A longtime fitness professional who had spent over two decades helping others pursue health and wellness, Kristen says she went from being exceptionally healthy and active to battling a devastating cascade of hemorrhaging, blood clots, pericarditis, tremors, seizures, paralysis, neurological dysfunction, and years of dismissal by doctors. Eventually, she was diagnosed with AAG (Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy), a rare and debilitating neurological disorder that attacks the autonomic nervous system and can affect nearly every function in the body. In this heart-wrenching episode, Kristen shares the medical trauma her family endured, the diagnoses she fought to uncover, the treatments that finally began bringing relief, and why she believes the injured must be heard, believed, and helped.

Aaron Siri | Truth, Transparency, and the Path Forward
Attorney and author Aaron Siri joins us for a conversation that gets to the heart of a difficult question: what happens when people are harmed—and the system offers no clear path to accountability? We unpack the legal realities surrounding COVID-19 vaccine injury, from the sweeping protections of the PREP Act to the barriers individuals face when seeking recognition, care, or justice. Aaron breaks down what most people don’t realize about liability shields, how these cases are being challenged, and what’s unfolding in the courts—including specific cases involving Bri Dressen, Joel Wallskog, and the work of React19. We also discuss his book, Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines, where he explores how vaccine policy and discourse, in his view, can take on the characteristics of unquestioned belief—shaping debate and limiting scrutiny. Importantly, he also points to where he sees real hope: ongoing legal challenges, growing public awareness, and a shifting willingness to question long-standing assumptions—opening the door to greater transparency, accountability, and support for those affected.

Sen. Ron Johnson | Unwavering in the Pursuit of Truth and Shedding Light in the Darkness
Senator Ron Johnson joins The React19 Podcast for a direct and unfiltered look at the aftermath of the COVID-19 response—and why, after hearing the stories firsthand, he says he could not turn his back on the vaccine injured. From the earliest public testimonies in 2021 to ongoing investigations, this conversation examines what he describes as a systemic failure—where those suffering serious injuries have been left to fend for themselves, while critical safety concerns were downplayed or dismissed. Johnson also reflects on a broader theme: how power, left unchecked, can become a corrupting force—and what that means for public trust. He details emerging evidence suggesting federal health agencies were aware of safety signals but used flawed systems that effectively masked them—raising urgent questions about oversight, transparency, and accountability. Throughout the conversation, one thing is clear—Johnson has no intention of backing down. Despite criticism and resistance, he continues to press forward, committed to pursuing answers and bringing attention to those who have been overlooked. This is a conversation about truth, accountability, and what happens when the people most affected are forced to fight to be acknowledged.

Dr. Kirk Milhoan | Silenced Before It Began: Inside the Canceled ACIP Meeting
Just days before a highly anticipated ACIP meeting—one that many hoped would finally acknowledge vaccine injury and begin restoring trust in public health—it was abruptly shut down, halting a conversation many believed was long overdue. On March 16, 2026, a federal judge, Judge Brian Murphy, issued a preliminary ruling that blocked the newly appointed members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) from serving. The ruling cited procedural concerns with how the committee had been formed. However, the decision was met with significant criticism, with many questioning the strength of its legal reasoning and the broader implications of halting the committee’s work—particularly given its potential to disrupt ongoing public health functions and delay critical discussions. The impact was immediate. The March 18–19 ACIP meeting was canceled, bringing the committee’s work to a standstill before it could begin. For thousands of individuals living with life-altering conditions following COVID-19 vaccination, that meeting represented something rare: hope. Hope that their experiences would be recognized. Hope that science would catch up to reality. Hope that someone, finally, would listen. In this episode of The React19 Podcast, Dr. Kirk Milhoan offers an inside look at what was planned—and what was lost. At the heart of the discussion is a simple but critical principle: medicine must continuously evaluate both risk and benefit. Not just in theory—but in practice, in real time, and with full transparency. Instead, what many patients have encountered is something very different. Dismissal. Silence. And in many cases—being told their symptoms couldn’t possibly be related. But as Dr. Milhoan explains, failing to acknowledge adverse outcomes doesn’t eliminate them—it prevents progress. Without honest evaluation, there is no path to better treatments, safer interventions, or restored trust. The halted ACIP meeting was intended to begin that process. To bring forward data. To ask hard questions. To allow open scientific discussion. And perhaps most importantly—to give a voice to those who have been living this reality. The broader issue, however, extends beyond one meeting. It raises deeper questions about how decisions are made in medicine—and who they are made for. Is the goal to protect systems? Or to serve patients? Because at the center of this conversation are real people—families who have lost loved ones, individuals who have lost their health, and a growing number of Americans who no longer trust the institutions meant to protect them. Rebuilding that trust won’t come from authority. It will come from honesty. From acknowledging where mistakes were made. From allowing open debate. From putting patients—not policies—at the center of care. As Dr. Milhoan puts it: truth may take time—but it does come. And for those still waiting to be heard, that truth cannot come soon enough.

Lorin Jeppsen | Focus on the Journey - You Got This!
Before October 2021, Lorin Jeppsen was the picture of health—an active-duty B-52 pilot turned Air National Guard special warfare member, with a deep passion for fitness rooted in both his career and identity. When the COVID-19 vaccine mandate was implemented, Lorin had reservations but ultimately complied under pressure from military leadership and the belief that he would be supported if anything went wrong. Just seven days later, he developed a cascade of serious symptoms—including vertigo, chest pain, dizziness, numbness, and nervous system dysfunction—marking the beginning of a life-altering medical journey. Despite early medical acknowledgment linking his condition to the vaccine, Lorin faced a frustrating path through emergency care and multiple specialists, often met with uncertainty and limited guidance. As his condition persisted, he was forced to navigate a complex and bureaucratic medical evaluation process within the military—ultimately requiring legal representation and nearly two years of appeals to secure medical retirement and the benefits he was entitled to. Lorin also shares the emotional toll of the experience—including shifts in how he was treated within the military and the isolation many face when dealing with misunderstood or unrecognized conditions. Throughout the conversation, Lorin reflects a “positive realist” mindset—acknowledging the seriousness of his condition while remaining focused on incremental progress, resilience, and moving forward despite the challenges.

Chris Pigott | "There is Hope Inside the Suffering"
“If you want to know what it’s like to be vaccine injured, go read about the lepers in Roman times. We are the modern-day lepers. Nobody wants to touch us.” ~ Chris Pigott Unfortunately, this is the tragic reality the vaccine injured face. Chris spent 20 years as a chemical engineer and was a thriving, high-energy husband, teacher, and community leader—up at 4 a.m., training hard, teaching robotics and millwrighting at an inner-city school, and pouring himself into STEM education and service. After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, everything changed. He is now disabled with Vaccine-Induced Acute Disseminating Encephalitis, a devastating neurological injury that upended the life he once knew. In this interview, you’ll meet a man who has transformed profound loss and anger into purpose. Through React19, Chris now leads faith-based support groups for the vaccine-injured, creating safe spaces for others to share their struggles and find strength. He speaks candidly about faith, community, and advocacy—offering hope, practical guidance, and a powerful reminder of the resilience found in connection.

Michelle Worton | "We Can Never Let This Happen Again"
In this episode of the React19 Podcast Michelle Worton, co-founder of CANrise19, a Canadian non-profit supporting the COVID-19 vaccine-injured, shares how her life was permanently altered after her second Pfizer dose, leaving her with severe immune and neurological injuries, multiple complex diagnoses, and a level of disability that has left her largely homebound. Once a thriving dental professional and business owner, she has lost nearly everything—her health, her business and her financial stability. Michelle describes the crushing reality of seeking care in Canada, where many injured individuals face medical dismissal, stigma, and limited treatment options. The conversation also explores troubling societal and political realities, including Canadian censorship laws that discourage open discussion, and reports of vaccine-injured individuals being offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) rather than meaningful medical support. This episode is a powerful look at the isolation, systemic failures, and urgent need for recognition, compassionate care, and reform.

Dana Parish | "There is a Black Hole in Medicine"
“There is a black hole in medicine.” In this episode of the React19 podcast, Dana Parish — author of Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Pandemic and How to Be Healthy Again, podcaster, health advocate, and former singer-songwriter — shares her battle with chronic Lyme disease and draws striking parallels to the challenges faced by the COVID-19 vaccine-injured and long COVID communities. Dana recounts her personal journey through misdiagnosis, systemic medical neglect, and her eventual recovery through integrative treatment. The conversation underscores the urgent need for better diagnostics, greater transparency, and truly patient-centered care, while exposing institutional failures and the suppression of patient experiences.

Telling Alyssa's Story | All Dreams Come to an End After Vaccine
Angela’s 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa, was a remarkably bright young woman with a deep love of learning and a vision for her future. Although initially hesitant to have her daughter vaccinated, Angela felt the mounting pressure of mandates and her physician’s recommendation so ultimately moved forward. Within hours of her second Pfizer vaccine, Alyssa became ill. Days later, she suffered cardiac arrest, and her family was ultimately faced with the heartbreaking decision to take her off life support. After Alyssa’s passing, Angela connected with Dr. Deborah Newitz, whose concerns regarding vaccine safety, medical freedom, and institutional reform closely aligned with her own. This conversation is grounded in a shared call for accountability, transparency, and meaningful change.

Kim Witczak | From Tragedy to FDA Drug Safety Advocate
“I actually thought the FDA would care how a guy went from not sleeping to hanging in five weeks, but they said it was just an anecdotal story.” In this episode of the React 19 podcast, Ann interviews drug safety advocate Kim Witczak. Kim is a Consumer Representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drug Advisory Committee. Kim shares her personal story of loss after her husband’s suicide following a Zoloft prescription, which led her to campaign for antidepressant safety reforms, including getting black box warnings on anti-depressants. She draws parallels between her advocacy and current challenges faced by those injured by COVID-19 vaccines, highlighting systemic issues within the FDA, lack of transparency, and the need for informed consent. Kim’s ultimate message is one of hope and empowerment. Her maxim is: “Within us all is the power to create change.” Connect with Kim: Twitter/X: https://x.com/woodymatters Substack: https://acceptablecollateraldamage.substack.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.witczak.1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kim_witczak/ Website: https://www.kimwitczak.com/ Also, check out the documentary “Follow the Silenced” https://followthesilenced.com/ If you would like to donate to help those who have suffered so greatly: https://react19.org/donate/ Every dollar goes directly to the injured!

Tim McAdams | "I want to help as many people as I can."
In this episode of the React 19 podcast, 40-year airplane and helicopter pilot, Tim McAdams, shares how his Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine injury caused 2 massive cerebellar strokes which led to a cascade of life-threatening complications. As with most vaccine injured, the hospital doctors dismissed any connections, and although Tim filed a VAERS report, the officials from the CDC never followed up with him. These are the exact issues React19 and Tim are trying to change. Thankfully, Tim has persevered through this intense suffering. Although he has lost his career as a pilot, he now uses his experience and his voice to help others in every way he can.
