In the heart of a global crisis that reshaped the fabric of countless lives, Chris Weedman’s story stands as a harrowing testament to the devastating impact of COVID-19 protocols and the indelible mark left on one family by the healthcare system’s handling of the pandemic. This narrative, preserved within the archives of the COVID Humanity Betrayal Memory Project (CHBMP) by the CHBMP Foundation, unfolds a poignant tale of loss, betrayal, and a family’s fight against a protocol they believe mercilessly claimed the life of a beloved father and husband.

Chris’s account begins with an innocuous family outing to a football game in early September 2021, a day that spiraled into a nightmare as he, alongside his family, contracted COVID-19. In the days that followed, what seemed manageable took a turn for the worse, particularly for Chris’s father. Despite initially mild symptoms, his condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to a desperate and ultimately tragic encounter with the healthcare system.

As Chris navigated the labyrinth of hospital protocols, he witnessed first-hand the stark realities of treatment under emergency use authorization (EUA) policies, including the controversial administration of remdesivir. Despite his father’s resilience, the aggressive and isolating hospital protocols, coupled with the refusal to consider alternative treatments, left the family feeling helpless and ignored. The decision to place Chris’s father on a ventilator, taken without family consent, marked the beginning of the end. His subsequent rapid decline culminated in a heart-wrenching decision to withdraw life support, a moment that Chris describes with palpable grief and profound loss.

The emotional toll on Chris and his family is a stark reminder of the human cost behind the statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sense of betrayal by a system they trusted to protect and heal is a common thread in Chris’s story, resonating deeply with the experiences of many who have reached out to CHBMP. His narrative, imbued with a mix of sorrow, anger, and disbelief, sheds light on the urgent need for accountability and change in the handling of pandemic-related treatments and protocols.

The COVID Humanity Betrayal Memory Project, an initiative by the CHBMP Foundation, has documented and published over 1,000 such stories, with more than 1,300 narratives of grief, endurance, and injustice shared by victims and their families. These accounts, accumulating at a pace that challenges our capacity to keep up, are not merely statistics; they are intimate tales of individuals who faced the unimaginable and are now united in their quest for justice and reform.

This collective outcry against what many perceive as egregious crimes against humanity underlines the mission of our organization. The CHBMP stands as a beacon for those seeking to share their experiences, aiming to halt the perpetuation of harm inflicted by COVID-related protocols. Our Task Force, primarily composed of widows, widowers, and family members who have suffered similar fates, embodies the resilience and dedication necessary to advocate for change.

If you or a loved one has been adversely affected by COVID-related protocols or policies, we urge you to document your story at chbmp.org. By coming together, we not only honor the memories of those we’ve lost but also forge a path toward preventing further tragedies. Your voice is crucial in the fight to ensure that such egregious oversights and acts against humanity are never repeated. Together, we stand in solidarity, advocating for transparency, accountability, and the preservation of human dignity in the face of adversity.
