But I was the crazy one... I am still shocked so many people rely heavily on this industry.
The hospital found out Gail Seiler was unvaccinated for COVID. Then they tried to MURDER her. They STARVED her for 12 days, denied her water for 7 days, and told her husband she was going to die. When her husband came to take her home, the hospital made her a PRISONER. They called the police, and a 6-hour standoff followed. When the hospital finally let them go, it wasn’t through the main entrance. It was through the freight elevator used to carry bodies to the morgue. On the way out, a nurse told her husband, Brad, “Mark my words, she’ll be dead tonight, or before you even get home.” Gail survived. Not because of a miracle, but because a caring physician stepped in and guided her home treatment: nebulized budesonide and ivermectin. BRAD SEILER: “Over the next 30 days, she was weaned completely off of oxygen. Within 60 days, she had recovered sufficiently to return to work. Today, Gail is alive, healthy, active, and enjoying life with our grandchildren and children.” Gail’s story is horrendous, but it’s not uncommon. Hospitals were rewarded with perverse bonuses during COVID, and the more interventions they ran, the more they made. As Attorney @RenzTom previously testified: “We have incentivized the MURDER of patients rather than incentivize TREATMENT.” “When you go to the hospital, you get tested. They get paid more. When you get admitted for COVID, they get paid more. When they put you on remdesivir, they get paid more. When you get ventilated, they get paid more. When you die, they get paid more. This is perverse.”
