UKCVFamily: Episodes nine and ten - Visit with Brianne Dressen from React-19 and connections

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.

UKCVFamily: Episodes six, seven and eight - talking science, everything being poop and mean people

In episode six, Caroline speaks again with our resident expert Dr Harriet Carroll who gives us further insight from a more scientific point of view. Episode seven digs deep with a look into fear and its effect on us, while in episode eight, Charlet and Caroline discuss encountering hatred and long-lasting friendships.

"I had a reaction, and for the first six or eight months, I didn't really talk about it because, like a lot of us, I thought it was just me" - Dr Harriet Carroll, NHS Researcher and UK CV Family Volunteer.

In 'Episode 6, The Scientist's Back', Harriet returns to talk with Caroline about the placebo effect, open-minded doctors, and acupuncture of both the intentional and accidental kinds! And let us know in one sentence — why did you REALLY get the v?
