In the unquiet hallways of a world at war with an unseen enemy, a tale of sorrow and betrayal unfolded, one that countless families around the globe share – a tale too often silenced by the overarching narratives of the times. It is the deeply moving story of Julie Moore, who witnessed firsthand the lethal machinations of ill-guided hospital protocols for COVID-19 treatment that tragically claimed the life of her beloved husband.

Julie’s story, as told to Patti Lamar, a fellow victim and member of the COVID Humanity Betrayal Memory Project (CHBMP) Task Force, is a poignant echo of an anguish that has reverberated in the hearts of many. It serves as a sobering testament to the devastating consequences of harmful medical protocols and policies. Her husband’s last hours were spent not in a sanctuary of healing, but in an arena where they battled not just the virus, but a seemingly unconquerable system that wielded protocols like remdesivir with reckless abandon.

During these distressing hours, she witnessed the stark change in healthcare delivery, as chaplains no longer offered their prayers unsolicited, instead requiring explicit request from the patient. The lack of spiritual comfort during such a crucial time was a brutal departure from her earlier experiences.

A new nurse, amiable yet naive, was a comforting presence, but her efforts were eclipsed by the harsh demands of a chaplain, whose orders for strict adherence to safety protocols, while necessary, came across as devoid of empathy. Julie recalls a moment of intense confrontation with the chaplain, a time where she declared her unwavering intent to stay by her husband’s side, a commitment she honored until the end.

In the face of institutional coldness and disregard, Julie’s courage held steadfast. Amid the dread of loss, she held onto her husband’s memory and her unshaken conviction that her husband, and countless others, were undeserving casualties in a war that should not have claimed them.

With a heavy heart, Julie recounts the harrowing words of Patti Lamar, a fellow victim: “Don’t go to the hospitals.” It’s a sobering call that punctuates the air with its grim reality. It also echoes the sentiments of her pastor who soberly reminds his congregation: “We’re all gonna die.” The sad inevitability, however, does not justify the needless demise of many at the hands of people we’ve entrusted with our lives.

In sharing her heart-wrenching tale, Julie lends her voice to the chorus of more than 800 grieving families documented by the CHBMP, over 600 of which have been published. The collection of narratives continues to grow at an overwhelming pace, evidence of a global tragedy that seems relentless.

The COVID Humanity Betrayal Memory Project aims to amplify these stories, which serve as reminders of the catastrophic human cost borne from misguided hospital protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Task Force, a coalition of victims – mostly widows and widowers, who have experienced similar harm, is dedicated to halting these egregious crimes against humanity.
