Key points

1. Carole Avoine, a single mother of four from Quebec, testifies in French about facial paralysis she attributes to vaccination while recovering from professional burnout.
2. She says she received one dose of AstraZeneca on April 22, 2021, choosing it because she was told it most resembled traditional vaccines, and was congratulated as "lucky" to get an appointment.
3. She says that about three weeks later she woke with half her face paralyzed and was diagnosed with Bell's palsy, while the ER doctor dismissed any vaccine link.
4. She describes a subsequent two-week episode of vaginal bleeding, seven years after menopause, accompanied by collapse and near-loss of consciousness.
5. She says she has grade-three paralysis, cannot close her eye without medical tape, and endures severe spasms in her head, throat, tongue, ear, and neck.
6. She says her symptoms worsened by 300% after a wisdom-tooth extraction, and she was off work two and a half years, later returning for 30 hours a week.
7. She says both vaccinated and unvaccinated people attacked her, that she has waited three years for compensation, and that the health system has failed and disbelieved her.
