Michael Oesch: “I Blacked Out Driving a School Bus”
Michael Oesch, a filmmaker, artist, and former school bus driver from Waterford, Ontario, came to the Allison Inquiry to share his experience of Covid-19 vaccine injury.
Healthy, active, and taking no medications, Michael began vaccination so he could care for his parents and in-laws. After his fourth dose, he says his leg began dragging within 36 hours. One week later, he blacked out while driving his school bus.
An MRI revealed a 2.8 cm lesion on his spine near his brain. Michael describes months of debilitating fatigue, migraines, and spasms that lasted for hours each night. He says doctors believed he was vaccine injured but were afraid to put it in writing.
Today, Michael is in long-term care and says he has been refused neural rehabilitation twice. He also says his Vaccine Injury Support Program claim was denied without applying WHO causality standards.
His testimony was recorded on Day 2 of the Allison Inquiry, September 9, 2026.
