Talk Truth 10.21.26 - Shannon Holmes Testimony | Allan and Corri revisit Shannon Holmes' emotional testimony from the Allison Inquiry. Once a healthy, active fitness instructor walking up to 17 kilometres a day, Shannon says she developed severe neurological symptoms within minutes of receiving her second Pfizer COVID-19 shot. Five years later, she describes living with relentless pain, involuntary movements and multiple debilitating conditions. Shannon recounts being sent home without testing, having numerous specialist referrals rejected and being told to choose just one symptom when seeking emergency care. Her testimony includes footage of her painful episodes and the heartbreaking reality of depending on her two daughters for everyday care.
