For COVID-19 "I was put in the hospital with COVID pneumonia on January 24th for four days and was given remdesivir IV the whole time.

When I take off my oxygen, it starts tanking to as low as 82. I’m nauseous every day. I’m 65 years old, and I would never take it again."

We are all just guinea pigs."
