In 2020, Remdesivir was Mandated by Government Employee as Covid Standard of Care
Reports from medical doctors, military whistleblower testimony and randomized control trials demonstrate that remdesivir (Veklury) was a failed and dangerous drug.
In 2020, government employee Anthony Fauci mandated and incentivized remdesivir as Covid “standard of care.” Hospitals complied.
Hospital Professionals Were Propagandized to Use Particular Treatments, including Remdesivir
The Chief Medical Officer informed me that the CDC had sent us a powerful antiviral since we had the first diagnosed Covid patient in the United States at our hospital. He then related to me inaccurate representations about this allegedly powerful antiviral, specifically about the functionality and effectiveness of what was understood to be remdesivir… This appeared to be part of an effort by the hospital administration, due to their relationship with the federal health agencies, to incite physicians in leadership to have misunderstandings about Covid therapies and their effectiveness and to have us expecting/waiting for a “magic” medicine that had immediate efficacy from the government. In practice, remdesivir did not have the positive effects I was told and was instructed to anticipate. – Dr. James Miller Signed Affiidavit
Military Whistleblower Published Data from the Department of Defense Showing Remdesivir Contributed to, “at Minimum, Hundreds of Untimely Deaths”
Author Stella Paul once said, “Remdesivir may be the most despised drug in American history, earning the nickname ‘Run Death Is Near’ for its lethal record during COVID.” (1) The Remdesivir Papers captures the essence of her statement for service members and veterans across the country. Data derived from the Department of Defense Joint Trauma System (JTS) by a military whistleblower offers a stark contrast to results of multiple clinical trials involving the liberal usage of remdesivir in military treatment facilities and other civilian facilities, as well as its potential contribution to, at minimum, hundreds of untimely deaths. – T.M. Phelps & whistleblower Daniel LeMay (a pseudonym)
2019 Published Research: Remdesivir Had 53% Death Rate, Caused Kidney Failure and Liver Toxicity
On Dec. 12, 2019, less than five months before Fauci and the FDA pushed approval of remdesivir, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study on remdesivir use in Ebola that should have gotten the drug permanently banned for any use… Of the four drugs, remdesivir had the worst outcome with a 53.1% death rate, which is higher than the death rate from the virus… To this day, the NIH warns about renal failure and liver toxicity from the use of remdesivir that is bankrupting us and killing people in the hospitals. – Daniel Horowitz, Nov 2021

Do You Know Someone Whose Kidneys Mysteriously Failed in the Past Few Years? “The government is oddly silent on 155K EXCESS deaths from acute kidney injury. What’s causing it? The answer appears to be primarily two things: 1. The deadly Covid hospital protocols (Remdesivir). 2. The Covid-19 injections. John Beaudoin Sr’s data shows acute kidney injury-related deaths surged to 200% of normal levels in 2021. AKI-related deaths continued to rise in 2022, hitting a staggering 300% above normal, ‘while Covid-19 inversely decreased to negligible incidence rates.’”link

VA Nurse Whistleblower
Shane Claytor, a former Navy Corpsman, Iraq War Veteran, and ICU nurse, has worked inside both the VA and private healthcare systems. Shane has seen firsthand how hospital policies, corporate interests, and government mandates have compromised patient care. In this interview, Shane reveals: The stark contrast between private hospitals and the VA system during the early days of Covid-19, including the lack of preparedness in private facilities and the bureaucratic dysfunction in government-run hospitals. The suppression of dissent within the VA, where speaking out against questionable policies—such as excessive isolation, improper use of ventilators, and the sidelining of early treatment options—led to retaliation, including an investigation that sidelined him for seven months. The failures of Covid-19 protocols, including the widespread use of remdesivir, which he and other healthcare professionals observed was linked to kidney failure. He compares outcomes at the VA, where the drug was heavily administered, to other hospitals that used it more sparingly and saw far fewer complications. The toxic culture within healthcare institutions, where unvaccinated patients were stigmatized, and doctors failed to physically assess Covid-19 patients, relying instead on remote decision-making, which harmed patient care. — Nicolas Hulscher MPH link
Victim of Hospital Protocols
A former military service member and father of two... 53-year-old Michael E. Pilgrim... was admitted to Dallas Regional Medical Center... [with a] COVID-19 diagnosis. Two days later, he was dead.
In an interview with The Defender, Shannon Pilgrim said that from the time Michael was admitted to the hospital, she and other members of her family were barred from visiting him and kept in the dark about the treatment he was receiving. According to Shannon, Michael’s medical records showed that doctors barely offered Michael any treatment and emphasized his unvaccinated status. Treatments Michael received included the controversial drug remdesivir — administered hours before his death.
Today, Shannon is trying to raise public awareness of the COVID-19 hospital protocols that she believes led to her husband’s death. She shared extensive medical documentation with The Defender corroborating her story. - Children’s Health Defense, Feb 5, 2025, ‘They Lied to Us’
