Described as “a compassionate exploration of the nuanced vaccine debate, focusing on questions rather than answers, and people rather than politics”, Anecdotals is a 2023 film by director Jennifer Sharp and executive producer Josh Stylman. It stemmed from Sharp’s own vaccine injury, but follows the stories of so many like her, who experienced adverse events following Covid-19 mRNA innoculations.
“We need to get better at respecting diverse opinions and disagreeing without fighting. Anecdotals is a big step in opening the conversation and creating awareness, and will bring people together,” Sharp said. “Close friends and family who have argued over this issue are finding common ground and empathy through watching this.”
The documentary runs 1:23 hours; and is rated 9.6 out of 10 on IMDb.
“It transcends the personal into the very real universal discussions surrounding health freedom, personal health, and corporate/governmental reaches.”
Anecdotals The Movie Synopsis:
In March 2021, after receiving my Pfizer shot, I couldn’t feel the left side of my face for a month. Eighteen months later, electric shocks and muscle weakness continue. Unable to receive the 2nd dose, I am amongst a group of partially-vaccinated people who have been outcast from many aspects of society with no empathy. We’ve been censored and told it’s unethical to talk about our stories because we are just anecdotes.
This movie provides a glimpse into the lives of the Anecdotals–those of us whose lives have been changed drastically by taking the vaccine. It also reflects on the division and politics that prevents us from getting much needed care. Anecdotals is a personal journey that focuses on questions, not answers, and people, not politics.
“While seeking medical help, I found myself immersed in support groups with many others who were also suffering. I was surprised to discover that we were censored from telling our stories, not just by social media, but also by family and friends. An ugly political divide transformed the topic of adverse reactions into a hateful battleground, and those of us who needed help and empathy were stuck in the middle,” Sharp said.
“They say we have a small percentage, but how do they truly know what the percentage is when they won’t even acknowledge we exist,” Sharp said in the film.
She describes how she spent three months with a lawyer fact checking everything in the film before YouTube blocked it for misinformation. She then explains how YouTube put the movie back up following outcry from people on Twitter and particularly a tweet from Senator Ron Johnson accusing YouTube of censorship that received 60,000 views in 2 hours.– Jennifer Sharp & her film Anecdotals
Ms Sharp invested her life savings into the production of the film, saying she hoped that it would spark conversations and encourage others to share their stories. It is free and she encourges everyone to share it. The website gives a guide on how to host a screening.
An Introduction by Dr. Joseph Mercola – ‘Anecdotals’ Documentary – Excerpts:
People who have been harmed by COVID-19 shots have suffered a range of medical issues — everything from death and permanent disability to pericarditis, nerve damage and overwhelming fatigue. While their symptoms vary, they share several common themes: Abandonment, Shame and Hopelessness.
Bringing attention to the issue — and to the people whose lives have changed drastically since receiving a COVID-19 shot — is the first step to recovery. The film “Anecdotals” does just that, providing a glimpse into the lives of people who have suffered significant adverse reactions from COVID-19 shots.
Many of them have been told their stories don’t matter. After all, they’re just anecdotes. But as you’ll see in the film, their journeys need to be heard, not only so they can access much-needed medical care but also so society becomes aware of the real risks of COVID-19 shots that have been covered up and censored.
Continued – Mercola highlights a few stories told in the film.
Here are just three individuals featured in the film:
1 – Maddie de Garay was a healthly young girl when she signed up for the trial, but she suffered severe systemic adverse reaction to her second dose. Anecdotals features her mother speaking at a press conference coordinated by Senator Ron Johnson in November 2021. In Pfizer’s April 2021 disclosure of Maddie’s case to the FDA, it’s stated only that she had abdominal pain. Her mother said, “Neither Pfizer, the FDA or the CDC has ever talked to us.”
2 – Brooke Jackson, a regional director formerly employed by Pfizer subcontractor Ventavia Research Group, witnessed falsified data, unblinded patients, inadequately trained vaccinators and lack of proper follow-up on adverse events that were reported. After notifying Ventavia about her concerns repeatedly, she made a complaint to the FDA directly — and was fired the same day.
3 – Brianne Dressen a preschool teacher from Saratoga Springs, Utah, received the Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine during a clinical trial. She has since experienced extensive adverse effects from the vaccine that has resulted in a medical bill of over $250,000. She was told that serious adverse events would be recorded through day 730, but last heard from them on day 60.
The film is divided into 10-parts:
Part 1: The Trials – Rigorous, Thorough and Secret?
Part 2: Adverse Reactions – Real not rare?
Part 3: Burden of Proof – Are you sure it was the vaccine?
Part 4: The Doctors – Putting Patients First?
Part 5: The Kids – The benefits outweigh the risks?
Part 6: The Rally – The Dearly Discarded?
Part 7: Censoring Information – According to Whom?
Part 8: Science and Regulators – Says Who?
Part 9: Suicide
Part 10: Humanity – Blue + Red = ?
I’m afraid there’s been so much energy put into declaring one solution that we may have missed crucial opportunities to ask questions. I understand that things aren’t always black and white. I’m less concerned with having the right or wrong answers. My concern is having the right questions,” said Sharp in the film.
From the Exective Producer:
Introducing Anecdotals by Joshua Stylman – “It has been one of the most extraordinary and humbling experiences of my life to get to help with the making of this film. Thank you to Jennifer for making it… we will forever be indebted to all doctors who remember their oath, including those in the film… I’m in awe of the brave souls who have endured injuries and injustices and were still courageous enough to speak their truth.”
