A woman who urgently needs an organ transplant but has been pushed to the bottom of the waiting list because doctors say she must have a COVID vaccine—something she maintains would be unsafe given her condition—told her moving story recently during testimony at the National Citizens Inquiry.

“Whatever these doctors are doing, you’re evil, there’s no other word for it,” said Sheila Lewis, speaking virtually during the National Citizens Inquiry in Ottawa on May 17.
