Talk Truth 09.15.26 - Nicole Maurier | Nicole Maurier shares the story of her daughter Abigail, a 22-year-old cardiology technologist who died just six weeks after being diagnosed with an aggressive and rare cancer. Nicole recounts Abigail’s concerns about receiving the COVID vaccine, the employment requirement she faced while working for Alberta Health Services, her unsuccessful attempt to obtain an exemption, and the health problems that followed. Nicole also explains why she applied to Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program, why she says the claim has made virtually no progress after more than three years, and why she travelled to Ottawa to testify at the Allison Inquiry and continue telling her daughter’s story.
