(May 17, 2025) — As The Post & Email reported in mid-March, the world premiere of “Follow the Silenced,” a nearly-two-hour film produced by Mikki Willis and directed by Matthew Lynn Guthrie depicting the suffering of many Americans who received one of the COVID-19 “vaccines,” was premiered at the time at the Santa Monica International Film Festival.
The shots were administered under an FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), after which the federal government under Joe Biden, as well as many private employers, required it for employees to retain their jobs.
As was reported by The Highwire, founded and hosted by Del Bigtree, the “world premiere” of the film was released on May 15 and can be downloaded, shared and viewed on YouTube.
Revisiting the panic and fear imposed by the COVID-19 “pandemic” which began in March 2020, the movie relates the painful sagas of former preschool teacher Brianne Dressen and Ohio teenager Maddie de Garay, both of whom experienced serious, life-altering adverse events following vaccine injection.
Just before the 38:00 mark, Ernest Ramirez Sr. relates how his 16-year-old son collapsed while playing basketball and was declared dead at the hospital within a week of taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
Along with former orthopedic surgeon Dr. Joel Wallskog, Dressen co-founded the organization react19 to provide visibility and help to others suffering from COVID-19 vaccine side effects.
Symptoms described by those in the film include “pins and needles,” hearing and visual disturbances, heart palpitations, sudden high blood pressure, heart attack, blood clots, multiple sclerosis cases, transverse myelitis, and “neurological” issues.
Dressen has previously described reporting her condition following vaccination to then-Director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Dr. Peter Marks to no avail.
Marks retired in early April but is still consulted by the mainstream media on medical issues.
The Highwire recently released a timeline titled, “Secret Recordings: The Real Peter Marks.”
Thursday’s production of The Highwire, “Breaking the Silence,” includes interviews with three other vaccine-injured individuals, all of whom became wheelchair-bound after taking the injections.
