On Monday, we heard 21 of the 583 testimonies we received from 46 states. Families were separated from dying loved ones. Patients were denied treatment options and given remdesivir and ventilated – often without consent. Families were callously told their loved ones would die simply because they were unvaccinated. All of these stories deserve to be heard.

9/ Melodie McKeel is the wife of Bryan McKeel, who passed away in Sarasota, Florida. Against the wishes of his family, he was intubated and denied further access to ivermectin after showing signs of improvement.

21/ Dr. Pierre Kory is a pulmonary and critical care physician and the Chief Scientific Officer of Rebuild Medicine. He is the former chief of the Critical Care Service at the University of Wisconsin and was a frontline doctor treating patients from the start of the pandemic.

4/ Gail Seiler of Plano, Texas, was hospitalized with COVID in December 2021. Fortunately, with the help of her husband Brad, she was allowed to leave the hospital and recovered at home. She will tell her story from the perspective of a patient.
