Talk Truth 10.20.26 - Lisa Watson Testimony | Allan and Corri revisit Lisa Watson's heartbreaking testimony from the Allison Inquiry. Just twelve days after receiving her first Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Lisa experienced severe neurological symptoms that left her unable to walk. Diagnosed with transverse myelitis, she spent ten weeks in hospital and had to learn to walk again. Lisa recounts how her doctors recognized her condition as vaccine-related, why she was still advised to consider another shot, and the devastating impact on her family. Her emotional testimony includes rehabilitation footage and a heartbreaking reflection on the grandmother her five granddaughters will never get to know.
