Watched this incredibly moving true story of 'Odette' a French woman, a British Spy in WWII, held in solitary confinement by the Gestapo for 2 years, finally in a camp. She still firmly loved humanity, clung to hope & refused to be bitter. A reminder not lose sight of the wonder in God's creation.

Many of our group members find new symptoms emerge over time, long after the initial adverse response to the vaccines. Some are told by doctors the vaccine cannot be to blame. We strongly disagree. I wish more money was investigated into both simultaneously because there are many similarities.

One thing I have learned in the five years since having an extreme adverse reaction to my Covid vaccine is where to find reliable sources of information. (And due to polarisation on the topic this is challenging) Sadly, clinical trial data is not in the public domain and I think it should be.
