In episode 9, Charlet and Caroline talk with Brianne Dressen. Bree was injured during the trials and experienced total isolation from being injured so early on. The three talk about the connections being injured creates. But also, they stress the need for us to balance helping our community with looking after ourselves.
"The connections that we've been able to make are some of the most beautiful connections I could have imagined - it's like a family' - Brianne Dressen, Injured COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial participant and founder of react19.org, a long COVID and vaccine adverse events research organisation.
For more information on Bree and React-19, their website is available at https://react19.org.
