My husband, Ken Stifler, age 63 suffered from COVID-19 symptoms in September of 2021.  He was a husband of 36 years, founder of our small business, father of two and well respected in our community.  He is missed immensely!

After several days of illness, his oxygen levels fell too much and we took him to the Worcester community hospital – reluctantly, as he was not able to get ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine locally, which are safe FDA approved medications.

Once at the hospital, Ken was started on a medicine we did not know the dangers nor were we informed of any dangers, especially for a diabetic which Ken was type 2.  They started the dangerous remdesivir doses of this drug soon after he got in the Worcester hospital.  A day after being admitted this drug was pumped through his bloodstream every day until he died 8 days later.  As it flooded like water through every organ, he got progressively worse, but the hospital did not offer any other alternatives.  We begged them to give him ivermectin, and they said that they were not educated on it.  That was just the head nurse taking control of the situation.  We later learned that remdesivir should have never been given to a diabetic person.

They never let us try any other option to help him.  The hospital had a track record of using the dangerous drug causing death, but still continue to use it.  We later found out that the hospital would get paid a lot of money from Medicare to administer the dangerous remdesivir drug if the patient died of COVID-19, and continue to use it on every COVID-19 patient.  This should have never happened!!

My husband’s life could have been saved if only our constitutional rights were allowed; also due to Ohio law HB606.  Patients had no rights in a hospital, and hospitals were actually exempt from any liability due to the dangerous drugs they were giving.  Patients and immediate family should also be assigned to a patient advocate anytime they are admitted into a hospital for any reason, and be given full disclosure about any medication and risks that could or will be administered.  We were not given that privilege. My husband’s life could have been saved if we were allowed to be given ivermectin by a local pharmacy, which denied the prescription and took longer to get to us.

So many things happened that shouldn’t have.  Our voices were silenced.  My husband was sent to a death chamber, and we will miss him greatly.

Justice must come and swiftly!!!!
