Shocking: Woman abandoned by system after becoming paralyzed following Covid shot
Kayla Pollock was offered Medical Assistance in Dying after becoming quadriplegic shortly after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.
It's been over four years since Kayla Pollock woke up quadriplegic shortly after receiving her second Covid-19 vaccine, and still she has received little to no help from those responsible.
To keep her job and visit her dying father in long-term care, Kayla followed exactly what the government, the mainstream media, and the public health officials she trusted told her — that the vaccines were safe, effective, and the right thing to do.
Kayla's application for the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), originally lost by staff too busy drinking on the job, playing video games and watching Netflix, went ignored. Communication was generally impossible.
Following the embarrassing and abysmal failure of the program, the Liberal government then announced that it would be taking over the program as of April 1, 2026, but not before sealing the records for 15 years, and removing the word "injury" from the name, now called the VIAP, or Vaccine Impact Assistance Program.
I'm surprised they didn't go with Vaccine Inconvenienced Program.
Even worse, when Kayla sought help, support and resources to improve her quality of life, she was instead offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Not once, not twice, but THREE times!
I had the opportunity to catch up with Kayla to talk about her story, VIAP, MAID, and her lawsuit against Moderna.

After becoming a central figure during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, Tamara Lich emerged as one of the most recognizable voices challenging Canada’s pandemic response. Thrust into the national spotlight as the movement unfolded and the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act, Lich faced the consequences of government overreach firsthand. Now reporting with Rebel News, she draws on that experience to cover government actions and political movements with a focus on stories often dismissed or distorted by legacy media.

Fern Kwantes commented 2026-05-03 12:20:29 -0400It’s deeply concerning to read stories like Kayla’s, but for some of us, this isn’t shocking—it’s familiar.
Our medical system is not equipped to support people who fall outside neat diagnostic boxes or “approved” pathways of care. When your condition is complex, poorly understood, or inconvenient to treat, access to consistent, meaningful care becomes an uphill battle. Too often, the system feels less focused on helping people live well and more focused on managing them out of it.
I say this from lived experience. I have been offered MAID more times than I can count—while still fighting for basic, ongoing care. That is a reality many people don’t see unless they are living it.
This isn’t about rejecting end-of-life choice. It’s about questioning a system where that option can be introduced more readily than the supports needed to actually sustain quality of life. When people are struggling to access treatment, advocacy, and continuity of care, something is out of balance.
Kayla’s case highlights a gap that needs urgent attention. People with complex or non-traditional conditions should not have to exhaust themselves fighting for care while navigating a system that doesn’t know where to place them.
I hope her challenge leads to meaningful change—not just for her, but for everyone who has been quietly pushed to the margins of care.
Before we make decisions about policy or vote on the direction of healthcare in this country, we need to fully understand what is happening behind the scenes for people living this reality. -
Peter Wrenshall commented 2026-05-01 19:11:24 -0400The government turned a healthy, productive Canadian woman into an inconvenience to the system. For the government , the solution was obvious: Offer her MAID. Canada is becoming a moral sewer thanks to Trudeau/Carney Liberals and their progressive program.

I chose not to get the jab and have lost a LOT of friends because they follow the MSM mantra. I haven’t seen my daughter, son in law or grandson in 7 years because I’m not vaxed, – even with the truth trickling out ever so slowly. I personally know at least 10 people who have varying degrees of vax injuries and even some of those will not believe it was from the jab. Thanks again and please keep up this good work…
