It was once difficult to believe that any Cuban could regret escaping the clutches of the murderous dictator Fidel Castro, who the New York Times reported to have, “institutionalized torture as a mechanism of social control,“ and who proudly promoted sailors who executed his orders to drown women, children and babies at sea.
That changed in 2020 when politically appointed public health officials hyped an allegedly dangerous new (novel) strain of an old virus and used faulty PCR testing to justify vastly different protocols for treating flu-like symptoms.
The good old days of 2019
Had Aleli Loo, a married mother of two teens and just 46 years of age, shown up to her local health clinic three years ago with low-grade fever, muscle aches, coughing when breathing deep, and small amounts of blood in her sputum, she would have been sent home to rest.
But presenting with these same symptoms in 2021, the clinic staff immediately inquired into her vaccination status and, upon learning that she was yet to receive an mRNA shot, went into panic mode referring her for immediate hospital care.
Aleli before her hospitalization
When the emergency room was for emergencies
Yet, America’s number 1 ranked hospital, Mayo Clinic, still advises patients not to visit the emergency room (ER) when coughing up just small amounts of blood:
producing a little blood-tinged sputum isn’t uncommon and usually isn’t serious. Call 911 or seek emergency care if you’re coughing up blood in large quantities or at frequent intervals.
Equally non-alarmative, Mayo Clinic does not advise an ER visit when shortness of breath is not severe:
Seek emergency medical care if your shortness of breath is accompanied by chest pain, fainting, nausea, a bluish tinge to lips or nails, or a change in mental alertness — as these may be signs of a heart attack or pulmonary embolism.
Under these standards, the clinic physicians would not refer Aleli to the ER and, if she did visit the ER, would not be admitted. Unfortunately, Aleli was referred and was admitted, suffered terribly in the “care” of University of Florida Health Shands Hospital and never again saw her children or husband.
“That’s what you get”
Aleli’s relatives might argue if you claim Aleli received second class treatment for “her choice” not to receive an injection into “her body.” “Second” may well be too generous, as Aleli complained that nurses publicly chastised her for,
Not being vaccinated and going around infecting people
Because of people like you we’re working 20 hour days
This became the rationale for not providing care, and even turning down requests for drinks and food, all while prohibiting her husband, children and siblings from handing her a cup of water – she was now treated as a danger to society.
If a tired nurse didn’t feel like responding to a call from Aleli, she no longer needed to feel guilty – quite the contrary, she was a hero standing up to the unvaccinated – no need to even check whether Aleli had a legitimate reason to avoid the jab.
For their health
Interestingly included in his work, Of the Epidemics, Hippocrates wrote,
have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm.
Protecting family members from the patient is not a special object to have in view.
Aleli’s family members also point out that her one and only COVID test actually came back “inconclusive.” Rather than repeat the test to obtain a more accurate result, the hospital simply insisted, day after day, week after week, till Aleli’s final demise, that they needed to protect her family from her, regardless of the emotional and physical cost to their patient.
Aleli constantly complained that she was weak from being thirsty and hungry while the hospital staff, with a new doctor doing once-a-day rounds each morning, and nurses, unresponsive to her pleas, insisting that she is getting sufficient nutrition intravenously.
Adding to her feelings of dehydration, Aleli was placed in a room with a broken air conditioner for three days in August in Florida!
Aleli wrote in a series of texts:
My body is cooking.
The heat does not let me concentrate.
I swear that the air is not working, and this is horrible.
I ask them to fix my air and they ignore me.
Hot and covered in sweat, Aleli eventually told her family,
They’re starving me
Please, I want to die
They are going to kill me, get me out of this horrible place
Aleli’s family maintains that she received exactly one meal during her entire stay at the hospital, and that was upon her admission. Even when she was moved to a room with air conditioning, it wasn’t a complete relief as she was placed in broken bed in which she could not find a comfortable position.
Your body, our experimental drugs
Despite walking into the hospital of her own accord, and despite intake staff recording Aleli’s “Chief Complaint” as “Flu Like Symptoms,” she was immediately given an injection of the dangerous and experimental drug Remdesivir which is being administered under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) as part of the COVID treatment protocol established by public health officials.
Public health officials actually resurrected remdesivir from its previous life as a failed Ebola treatment, after it had to be pulled due to its high (53%) death rate owing to the kidney and liver damage it causes.
Aleli told her family that she was being given drugs without her consent, often in her sleep, from which she would awaken to see nurses adding medications to her intravenous drip without informing her what was being added. Why would they do that?
Keeping the customer happy
Like any business manager, hospital administrators know who pays the bills. If it was once the patients, who could choose a competing hospital for care, today it is the government, with its bonuses, that the hospitals aim to please, and bill.
Dr. Paul Marik, a world renowned pulmonary and critical care physician, testified before a Senate panel that while remdesivir increases the risk of death and renal failure in COVID patients, hospitals administering the drug nonetheless receive a 20% bonus on the entire hospital bill from the federal government for Medicare patients who were prescribed remdesivir.
Drugs that make things worse
With her daily injection of remesdivir underway, Aleli was, tragically, on her way to renal (kidney) failure. Two days into her hospital stay, a new medicine was introduced, this time over Aleli’s strenuous objections due to her familiarity with it, morphine.
Knowing its addictiveness and side effects, Aleli was vehement about her refusal to take morphine and repeatedly complained to her family that she suspected that hospital staff was giving it to her over her objections, a fear proven true by a review of her medical records. And her fears may have been right on the mark, as Mayo Clinic lists the following “common side effects of morphine:”
- Difficult or troubled breathing
- irregular, fast or slow, or shallow breathing
- pale or blue lips, fingernails, or skin
- shortness of breath
- very slow breathing
So a patient suffering from shortness of breath was repeatedly injected with a drug, over her objections, that includes shortness of breath and other breathing issues as its “common side effects!”
A review of Aleli’s medical records indicates that immediately upon admission she was also started on regimens of additional drugs that could complicate her situation on their own, not to mention how they may work together, including Dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid medication which acts as an immunosuppressant and enoxaparin, an anticoagulant that can cause internal bleeding and fever.
All this, again, for flu-like symptoms and an inconclusive COVID test.
Everything’s OK, but get on a ventilator
Aleli’s family report that hospital staff began “harassing” Aleli to agree to be intubated the day after her hospitalization and that this continued throughout her stay. This is shocking because a review of her medical records indicates that Aleli’s oxygen saturation level actually increased from 94% upon admission to an excellent 98% and then to 99% in her first week at the hospital.
There was thus no reason to even be addressing the issue of intubation. 92% blood saturation is considered sufficient to avoid the need for supplemental oxygen. Moreso, mechanical ventilation, with its serious risks for infections, collapsed lungs, and death, would certainly not be indicated at saturation levels in the mid to upper 90s. Nonetheless, Aleli’s text messages from soon after her admission illustrate the pressure she was under to agree to intubation:
I did not sign anything, I know that if I am intubated I will not get out of this, but it seems that the doctor doesn’t understand me, he tells me that if I am intubated I will leave and everything will be in order.
Aleli continued telling her family that she maintains her refusal to intubation, explaining that she let the medical staff know that she saw it only as a last resort, and that she wanted to go on breathing independently.
Strangely, hospital staff told her family members that she herself requested intubation, but that they were the ones holding off on the procedure in the meantime since she was “stable” with no need at the moment. Aleli’s texts contradict the hospital claims.
If they tell me they have no interest in intubating me, take me off the list and let me eat and that way I won’t get any weaker! I’m going to dehydrate myself with medicine without food!
Too dangerous for a transfer
Aleli’s family requested a transfer to a different hospital in the hope of getting her off the track toward ventilation. Their plea was rebuffed when they arrived at the hospital to make a formal request. They were told that in her medical condition a transfer would be far too dangerous. Her relatives note that this completely contradicted the information they received each time they called till then, always being told that Aleli is stable and things are going well. This was one of a string of contradictory statements they heard from the medical staff, leaving them to feel that they somewhat understood Aleli’s frustration with not being able to get a clear explanation of what was happening.
This text message from Aleli shows her desperation to “escape” the hospital:
‘She doesn’t want any contact with you’
Hospital staff continued denying entry to Aleli’s close relatives, even as Aleli repeatedly texted her desperate need to see her family and, at a minimum, receive water and food from them. The denials continued as her family members stood in the hospital and, later, as they stood outside holding protest signs deploring Aleli’s treatment and isolation.
Then, bizarrely, just two days after Aleli’s blood saturation level was measured at 99%, she was moved to the ICU, stopped answering her phone and hospital staff claimed that they could no longer share information about Aleli’s condition and treatment because, they alleged, she had asked the staff to cut off all contact with her family members.
Aleli’s relatives maintained that this could not possibly be true. Just the opposite – Aleli begged her family to get her out of the hospital, not away from her family:
They tell me they are not going to intubate me, but at the same time they don’t let me eat because they say they have scheduled the intubation. I’m dying of diarrhea and they don’t give me even an IV.
There is nobody here [to tell me not to show you the monitor], so you can see the oxygen monitor [that shows my oxygen is fine even though they say it is too low to transfer or release me].
I’m going to die in this evil place … I need to get out of here
One relative even posted a video on the social media expressing disbelief that Aleli asked to block her husband, daughters and sister and, at the same time, sharing his fear that a now fully isolated Aleli was in great danger.
The virus or the treatment?
While the hospital claims that Aleli’s oxygen level decreased as a result of a COVID infection, the hospital records do not reflect even one chest x-ray to document a chest infection that could be interfering with her oxygen uptake. The first chest x-ray listed is after her intubation and was performed in order to check the tube placement. Even then, the x-ray results do not include any mention of an infection interfering with respiration.
The renal (kidney) failure caused by the experimental drug remdesivir in a high percentage of recipients, however, does cause pulmonary distress and reduced oxygen levels. Aleli herself suspected that it was the hospital treatment, and not a virus, making her deteriorate.
when I got here, I didn’t need this [oxygen] bag, now, without this bag I [feel like I’m] drowning. I don’t get better, rather I’m worse, I have no hope of getting out of here
Isolated and ventilated
Despite Aleli’s concerns, two days after being moved to the ICU, with no further contact with her family, Aleli was diagnosed with “acute respiratory failure with hypoxia” (oxygen deprivation). This was just four days after her oxygen measured 99% and just 11 days after she walked into the ER unassisted.
Final insult
Aleli’s husband never imagined that when he brought his wife to the local clinic, and was not allowed in with her due to COVID restrictions, that she would be sent to the hospital without him and he would never see her again, not even in her death. After 17 days on the ventilator, with complications of severe kidney failure and a brain hemorrhage, Aleli’s 28 day stay in the hospital came to an end. But even then, her husband and other relatives could not see her – her funeral was prohibited due to an inconclusive COVID test.
Going public
Aleli’s family will never know whether she died as a result of kidney damage caused by the experimental remdesivir medication, weakness from hunger and dehydration worsened by sweltering heat in an unairconditioned room, lung damage from the mechanical ventilator she tried to refuse, or a combination of all those factors. But they have decided to share their grief in the hope that other families will be able to avoid watching their loved ones being subjected to dangerous hospital protocols and neglect.
Aleli’s husband, Jorge, still cannot process what took place:
I just know that I Aleli, was fine, I only took her to the outpatient center for preventative medicine.
Aleli’s sister, Esperanza, explains her vocal stand:
For many families, it is easier to say, like parrots, “My dear loved one died from Covid” and then receive compassion from all around.
It’s far more difficult to fight and to stand up for the truth and scream that the death certificate is a fraud, but I’m not willing to continue life like nothing happened.
In Aleli’s case, the hospital staff themselves admitted that she tested negative for COVID half way through her stay and even her first test was inconclusive. It was not COVID.
My sister died alone, in agony, and with complete awareness that the medical staff were not helping, but to the contrary, harming her health to the point that she didn’t expect to survive.
Questions for the hospital
We posed the following questions to the hospital’s Chief Communications Officer:
- Did Ms. Loo walk into your ER, without breathing assistance and without help walking, for flu-like symptoms but wind up sedated and on a ventilator just 11 days later, to never again regain consciousness?
- Did Ms. Loo register an blood oxygen level of 99% in her next few days at the hospital?
- Did you start her on remdesivir, based on an inconclusive PCR COVID test, without telling her it was an experimental drug with only an emergency use authorization and that it has a serious side effect of kidney damage which itself can cause breathing difficulties?
- Did your staff repeatedly refuse Ms. Loo’s requests for water and food, even when she was sweating for three days in a hospital room with a broken air conditioner, telling her that she didn’t need it since she was receiving nutrition through a tube or, at other times, because she was being prepped for ventilation?
- Did your staff tell her family that she refused to speak with them (suddenly after she begged her family to transfer her out of your hospital – a request that you denied)?
- Did your staff prevent all visits from her family based on one inconclusive PCR COVID test and did you continue blocking visits, and even blocked their access to her body or to hold a funeral, after her death, despite a later negative PCR COVID test?
- Did Ms. Loo in fact suffer kidneys damage after you began giving her remdesivir?
- Did Ms. Loo’s oxygen levels then decrease after her kidney damage?
- Did you then tell Ms. Loo that there was no choice but to place her on a ventilator?
- Did Ms. Loo’s health further deteriorate on the ventilator, till she suffered a brain hemorrhage and died alone, with no family allowed near her and with a restraining order barring them from coming near the hospital?
The hospital sent us the following statement in response to our inquiry:
