On today’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers welcome back Brianne Dressen — a former clinical trial participant who says she was injured during the COVID vaccine trials… and then erased from the data.  


What followed wasn’t just a personal health battle — it became a years-long fight for recognition, accountability, and truth.


Brianne breaks down how medical coding systems can determine whether an injury “exists” at all — and why the absence of a specific diagnosis code for vaccine injury has left thousands without proper care, coverage, or acknowledgment.  


She explains:


  • Why some countries track vaccine injuries — and the U.S. doesn’t
  • How patients can be labeled, ignored, or misclassified in the system
  • The current push to establish an official diagnosis code — and why it matters
  • What’s happening behind the scenes with compensation programs and liability protections
  • The real-world impact on families still searching for answers


Brianne also shares the work being done through React19, including medical grants, research efforts, and emerging treatment progress for those still suffering years later.


This is a conversation about data, systems, and the people caught in between — and what it takes to keep pushing when the answers don’t come easily.
