“"And they had intravenously giving me giving me so much diuretics that I could not control my bowels or my bladder. I could not control myself, and they did it intentionally because no food well, no nutrition. You know, you're you're going on what is that? Thirteen days no nutrition, so I'm weak as hell. First seven days, I didn't even have water. No personal care. No mouth care. The whole time I was there, I had thrush. I had all these awful things going on.”

“"And turned out it was like an inflatable raft that you put in your swimming pool to play with, and that's what they put under the patients. And he was developing, pressure sores. ... I could not believe the array of drugs, intravenous drugs that they had. ... how do you expect a patient to fight an illness if you have put them in a coma and they're completely unable to ... improve his own condition in any way.”

“"And turned out it was like an inflatable raft that you put in your swimming pool to play with, and that's what they put under the patients. And he was developing, pressure sores. ... I took photographs of them all to send to my brother because I couldn't believe it. They they had them on, fentanyl and ketamine and propofol and all these, you know, that I knew were super super, addictive... how do you expect a patient to fight an illness if you have put them in a coma and they're completely unable to... improve his own condition in any way.”

“"And in addition to this, he had he had developed sepsis. And I believe with everything in me, it was from that bed store. It was at at this point, it had been a stage four, and then it was the next level where they can't they can't even judge it. I forget what it's called. But they also weren't addressing it. They weren't wound care wasn't seeing it. They told me that he desatted if he was turned, so they could not turn him. And and I would tell them that if you don't turn him, he's going to get a severe infection, and that's going to take him. So you've got to try something, and they didn't.”

“"the billing record shows remdesivir? Yes. And the, so his kidneys were fine. He got remdesivir, then his kidneys were not fine. Correct. And then they said that a com went into complete kidney failure, and then they said cardiac arrest is what they claimed. But on the death certificate, all it said was COVID pneumonia. It didn't say anything else.”

“"I wasn't treated really well at all. You know, I was treated like a second class. I never got any hygiene products while I was in there unless I asked for them. I didn't I was basically I never got my gown changed either. I actually so having nosebleeds while I was in there because I had the oxygen, drying out my my nasal cavity. So I had, like, three or four bad nosebleeds while I was in there. I never got up to use the bathroom, because I was too weak... I was busy sitting there my own fill, it felt like, for a few days. Not good hygiene.”

Like, it hit her really hard. She was down, but, she recovered really quickly. Myself, I I took a turn for the worse. I started develop I developed pneumonia along with having the COVID. ... So I was like, okay. No. I've been there before. They were fine. Let's go. If I have to choose a hospital, let's go there. And, obviously, that was a really bad decision on decision, moving forward.”
From the testimony of Kevin Tyykila

“"After the first vaccine, he didn't really notice a whole lot, maybe a little bit of fever, chills. The second one, we we both had the exact same one. All of a sudden, we started having numbness, tingling, paresthesia, electric shocks, extreme pain all up and down his spine, headaches. And then that slowly got worse to where he began vomiting on a semi-regular basis, like, every other day or so. He couldn't sit in a chair comfortably. He felt like he was choking, not able to breathe, hard hard to walk, a lot of, you know, off balance, not feeling very fatigued, sweats and chills, so many symptoms he had.”
From the testimony of Daniel Van Ackeren
“"Doctors there were gaslighting us. They didn't wanna hear that it was from the vaccine, but I was... I wanted it in the record because he was fine before this. He was an athlete, very, you know, healthy before this. And so I just wanted it in the record, but that almost made things worse because they really didn't want to get to the bottom of what was going on.”
From the testimony of Daniel Van Ackeren
“"Not one person's ever said COVID, vaxxed, COVID, or pericarditis, even while I'm in for treatment of pericarditis...”
“"Not only has the vaccine injured me with my heart, I have a lot of neurological issues, that that happen all the time. I've been hospitalized, where I've actually been there and doctors have looked at me and I've had, uncontrollable muscle spasms. My legs would give out from under me. I have zaps of pain that shoot through the bottom of my feet all the way to the top of my head. I have trouble breathing sometimes. I have trouble resting, and weird things... Now in summertime when I get a mosquito bite, they swell up the size of like a baseball, size on my legs. They just ooze at night. I have all kinds of weird things that are unexplainable that have happened ever since getting the, Moderna vaccine.”
From the testimony of Matthew Webster
“"First of all, he had lost a tremendous amount of weight, which I did not know, until I got the medical records. [...] In about in fourteen days in fourteen days, he lost thirty six pounds. [...] And then the sore that she told me about wasn't just a sore. It was a hole, basically, in the bridge of his nose. [...] and people are being rude to him in there and, you know, treating him terribly because he was unvaccinated.”
From the testimony of Steven Hix
“"And she leaned over and she whispered to me, that's because they were restraining your husband with the BiPAP mask on his face, on his face down in the bed, which is against the Department of Health rules because you can easily aspirate and die... it created a terrible wound... So it was just my husband was just so, so mistreated, so mistreated... I said, is he dehydrated? He said, massively. I said, that's because doctor Ku removed all of his IV fluids over the weekend.”
From the testimony of Steven Hix
“"the day before two days before my husband died, they ran some tests on his heart, and it came back that he had very high likelihood that he had a a major obstruction in his heart... but they did not treat it... they waited all that time fifteen days before they ran a culture... and that showed that my husband had a bacterial infection, and he also had a serious fungal infection in his bloodstream. Neither of that none of that information was ever told to me nor was he ever treated... a doctor went back after my husband died, several days after my husband died, and they doctored the EKG results in his chart... it was her opinion that this is because they ran that test before he died showing that he had a blockage in the heart. And they were covering their tracks... they went back in and altered those EKG results to cover their tracks, that they had missed the heart condition completely.”
From the testimony of Steven Hix
“"I want her to stay here additional seven days, and I want the antibiotic card to get antibiotics. [...] but I didn't see any antibiotics at all. [...] my niece did observe that they were really rough with her, and then she had a broken arm, and they were always can't manhandling her, and she would always yell. [...] they kept her so drugged up. She wasn't able to to speak. [...] every time I went up there, her food tray was sitting off to the side far away from bed that her bed never touched.”
From the testimony of Beverly Kwiatkowski
