I got COVID at 50yrs old because my wife’s coworker came to work after her husband’s diagnosis. I have been an EMT since 1993 and I knew I was dying (SOB / difficulty breathing / hypoxia, chaotic, no distal pulses (even in trendelenburg position), vision loss).  I called EMS who brought no equipment in and made me walk to ambulance LOL. I was transported to Davis Medical Center in Statesville, NC.

The ER doctor told me I was probably going to die because I wasn’t vaccinated.  I told him to leave my room and I would only talk to a virologist.  I was given Remdesivir the first day, no medication the second day and no one would answer my questions.  I spoke to the virologist on the 3rd day, and said I was walking out if my concerns and lack of treatment were not addressed.  I was immediately put back on medication, vitamins etc. The Remdesivir attacked my heart and kidneys, putting me into organ failure. My injections fraction was 40%-45%. I was compromised because 8 months earlier, as a Police Officer, I was hit in my patrol SUV at 81mph by a drunk driver.  I was also a large (280lbs) weightlifter / CrossFit person.  My TBI, right bicep and supraspinatus tendon tear, large hematoma (12×4) right hip (had to be surgically drained).  My body was still in fight or flight (hormones firing), as per brain doctor, inflammation on a cellular level.

I was in the hospital 3.5 days. I gained 100lbs+ in pitting edema in 4 weeks from my feet to my waist and back. Morbid hypertension and SOB. No HTN meds were working.  I started to hear about Remdesivir problems and did some research.  I was referred to a cardiologist who agreed (off the record) that this is a medication injury from Remdesivir. With the proper medications, diuretics, and continued hard physical training, I’m out of failure with no damage, always had minimal plaque.  I still feel odd like something is pulling against the progress, bur can’t explain it.  It just feels like if I’m not continually diligent, I will backslide. All of my doctors can’t / won’t answer me if this drug has attacked me on a cellular level and will be a continuous threat to my life if I’m not diligent with medications and training.  I have asked to be kept on the medications because of this fear.
