For COVID-19 "I constantly had to urinate. It was horrible. I had 5 days of treatment with remdesivir. I left the hospital feeling incredibly weak and exhausted. I came home and found a doctor to prescribe hydroxychloroquine, z-pack, and ivermectin. Now I am much better, almost back to normal, and I haven’t finished the hydroxychloroquine."

For COVID-19 "I received 5 IV injections of remdesivir for COVID, and since then, my blood pressure has been low. Before taking remdesivir, I've always had high blood pressure. I have had muscle weakness in my legs. I have had headaches. I find that with any little cut, I bleed a lot. The doctors and nurses have had a hard time getting blood out of my veins for a blood test. They get the needle in the vein, but they can't get blood out."
