Wisconsin Senator’s Roundtable Spotlights COVID Patients’ Battles over Medical Care

Witnesses described being denied requested COVID-19 treatments and said 583 testimonies from 46 states were submitted to Johnson’s roundtable.

  • On Monday, Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., hosted a roundtable in Washington on "how hospitals failed to administer proper care" during the pandemic six years ago, continuing his series of COVID-19 response hearings.
  • Testimonies centered on harsh treatment tied to vaccination status, with Gail Seiler of Texas reporting "physical, verbal, and psychological abuse" after a hospitalist told her "you're going to die" upon learning she was unvaccinated.
  • Seiler was denied water for seven days and food for 12 days while hospitalized, along with requested medicines including ivermectin and Vitamin C, while one woman discovered hospital staff administered remdesivir despite her explicit refusal—that patient died in hospital care.
  • Former trauma surgeon James Miller and registered nurse Donna Lowery testified they were terminated for advocating alternative treatments, with Miller describing "show trials" and threats of arrest for speaking out against hospital protocols.
  • The roundtable collected 583 testimonies from 46 states as Johnson, prominent in the Medical Freedom Movement, told Spectrum News hospitals "did not submit testimony or request to testify," though the American Hospital Association declined to comment.
