Description

In 2020, Utah mom & former teacher Brianne Dressen wanted to help her community through the pandemic, so she joined a clinical trial of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine – one of the first in the USA. But afterward, she says she developed such severe side effects, she began planning her own suicide to escape the “constant agony.”

Within hours of beginning the trial, Brianne experienced adverse reactions including “blurred vision, a headache, ringing ears and vomiting” that worsened and required multiple hospitalizations. Now grappling with enormous medical expenses, Dressen is suing the pharma giant after it allegedly offered her a single payment of $1,243.30 in compensation despite her medical costs exceeding $400,000.

Brianne’s case is covered in the upcoming book “Worth a Shot?: Secrets of the Clinical Trial Participant Who Inspired a Global Movement” available at https://amzn.to/4eEyykA
