Critics Review

“This book chronicles Brianne’s shocking journey after her efforts to remedy the injuries she sustained as a volunteer in a Covid vaccine trial became an embarrassment for the entire medical-industrial complex. When the profit and power interests of Big Government and Big Pharma collide with patient health, the drug injury is just the first step in an agonizing ordeal. Every American needs to know Bri’s account of what happens after the injury.”—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.   “Many were misled by corporations, government agencies, and medical professionals during the pandemic. From clinical trials to injury compensation, every American should know how the government is failing those who have been harmed by pharmaceuticals.”—Congressman Thomas Massie   “According to disinformation put out by the medical establishment, media, fake ‘fact checkers,’ Big Tech giants, and some top political figures, Brianne Dressen simply doesn’t exist. Worth a Shot? will prove once and for all that she not only exists but is making sure her gripping story is heard.”—Sharyl Attkisson, journalist and New York Times bestselling author of Follow the Science   “It would take incredible willpower and strength to simply survive when you live with the sensation of being electrocuted every second of every day, and yet Bri has found the courage to not only survive but to fight back. And she has fought tirelessly, not only to help herself but to help vaccine-injured individuals across the globe. This book is just one example of the myriad ways Bri has fought and continues to fight for what is most important: truth and justice. May it serve as a lesson to us all.”—Aaron Siri, civil rights and vaccine attorney   “This is a modern-day ‘Erin Brockovich’ story of Brianne Dressen fighting Big Pharma and Big Government to keep our health, freedoms, and way of life. No other book in this space provides the unique narrative that delivers a critical and honest ‘behind-the-scenes’ reality. We all need to read this book and wake up to the hidden oppressions and overreach we continue to experience as a result of Covid-era policy.”—Dr. Ken Ruettgers, professor of sociology, former Green Bay Packer, and author   “This book is a wake-up call about the gross abuse of power shrouded in ‘healthcare.’ Sadly, there will be encyclopedias filled with these accounts soon. Brianne is bravely leading the charge so we won’t get fooled again.”—Drea de Matteo, actress and cofounder of ULTRAFREE    “Someday, I trust, the roll-out of Covid vaccines will be fully exposed as the greatest medical scandal of all time; how devastating side effects including death were an inconvenience to the billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry and political expedience, and therefore, dismissed and suppressed by regulators, medical professionals, and the media alike. This remarkable book makes it personal—an emotional account of radically changed lives, intense suffering, the sense of abandonment, and the fight for recognition and help by the vaccine-injured. It will make you angry, it will bring tears to your eyes but also warm your heart at the resilience, love, and sheer determination that come from shared adversity. Caroline Pover strikes the perfect balance with a sensitivity and integrity that reflect her own vaccine-injured journey.”—Mark Sharman, producer, Safe and Effective: A Second Opinion   “Worth a Shot? is an eye-opening account that goes beyond the statistics, focusing on the heartfelt story of pain, resilience, and survival experienced by those of us suffering post-vaccine adverse reactions. At its core, this book is a call for more love, compassion, and empathy in the face of human suffering. It highlights how the world must evolve, fostering greater understanding and respect for individuals who feel unseen or dismissed. In a world divided by opinions, this book urges unity through compassion, and a movement towards healing, driven by love for one another. A must read for everyone.”Brian Howard, UKCVFamily trustee
