Nicole Maurier testified that her daughter’s health deteriorated quickly after taking the Covid shot . When she was taken to hospital she was found to be filled with cancer. She was 23-years-old and had never smoked. A tumor in her chest doubled in size in two weeks. She was dead four weeks later.
IGNORED BY BIG MEDIA: They were told to be quiet

OTTAWA — For four raw days on Parliament Hill, Committee Room 415 became a pressure cooker. Conservative MP Dean Allison’s unsanctioned Allison Inquiry heard 50 sworn witnesses selected from more than 1,400 applicants. No findings of fact. No Health Canada. Just testimony. Compassion, Allison said as it closed Sept. 11, “should never be controversial.”
Canada has never held a federal inquiry into its Covid-19 response. More than 30 other democracies have. Allison’s citizen-organized hearings filled the gap the official Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) has not. VISP received 3,557 claims and paid out roughly $21 million; only 252 of 1,433 assessed files were approved. Witnesses called the process a maze of delays, denials and silence.
“My children and my spouse have had to become my caregivers,” said Michelle Worton, fighting back tears as she told of her Covid vaccine injury.
Two stories cut through the room. Michelle Worton took the stand on Day 2. A 42-year-old dental hygienist, mother of two, former regulatory board member in British Columbia. Healthy. Active. Then the mandate hit regulated professions. Two Pfizer doses, November and December 2021. Within an hour of the first shot: racing heart, blood-pressure swings, chest tightness. Forty-eight hours after the second: blurred vision, tinnitus, dizziness, incontinence, burning legs. A doctor called it menopause. Years later she listed the damage: eight brain lesions, cystic masses in liver, pancreas, cervix, breasts and brain, a pituitary tumour, a compressing brain cyst. Canadian specialists refused referrals or omitted “vaccine injury” from the paperwork. Doctors feared their colleges. Treatments were gated. She sold the practice. Savings gone. Crowdfunding. In 2023 she flew to the United States for surgery that cost $148,000. Total medical bills topped $300,000. “When you’re vaccine-injured in Canada, you’re abandoned,” she told the panel. Her VISP claim was rejected in 2024 and has sat on appeal for two years. She co-founded CanRise19 and presented survey data: most injured people never even apply. She spends most days in bed. She is 47.
Hours later Nicole Maurier spoke for her only child. Abigail Maurier, 23, top-of-class cardiology technologist at Red Deer Regional Hospital. Ring girl. Raptors dancer. Drug-sensitive. She recovered from Covid and wanted no shots. Alberta Health Services demanded vaccination. Her lifelong family doctor denied a medical exemption — later saying she feared losing her licence. “Safe and effective,” the doctor said. Abigail took Pfizer. Immediate reaction. Then collapse. In March 2023, NUT carcinoma — a cancer so rare it strikes one in tens of millions. A chest tumour doubled in two weeks, crushing her heart. Six weeks from diagnosis to death on May 2, 2023. Two rounds of chemo her body could not take. Organs failed one by one. Photos shown to the inquiry: vibrant birthday girl, then hospital drains pulling fluid from her lungs. The same family doctor later wrote “NUT carcinoma post Covid-19 vaccination” on the federal VISP form. The family is still buried in paperwork. “Suffering and in pain. And for what? All because of a mandate?” Maurier asked. The room was quiet. Some MPs wiped their eyes.
Allison’s inquiry was never going to deliver verdicts. It was designed to listen. U.S. Senator Ron Johnson appeared. Rural physician Dr. Charles Hoffe described neurological cases and rejected adverse-event reports. Fathers like Dan Hartman described sons found dead weeks after a first dose, autopsies listing “unascertained.” Mainstream coverage stayed thin. The hearings trended on X instead.
Allison invited every MP. Few sat through all four days. The mandate of the inquiry was simple: put names and faces on a conversation Ottawa has avoided. Worton and Maurier did that. One sold everything to keep breathing. The other buried her daughter six weeks after a diagnosis no one saw coming. The recordings are public. The questions they leave are not.
