Karen Hales says she repeatedly warned doctors not to give her son Chase remdesivir because of his existing kidney damage — but says the hospital gave it to him anyway. Chase Hales was a 33-year-old childhood cancer survivor who was admitted to a West Houston hospital with breathing problems in November 2021. Karen testified that repeated nasal swabs were negative for CV-19. After a bronchoscopy, she says an ICU doctor and nurse told her the CV finding represented dead cells from his previous infection and did not indicate an active infection. Karen says she repeatedly told his caregivers not to give Chase remdesivir because of his impaired kidney function. But after Chase was transferred to another facility, a nurse told him the hospital had already given him all the remdesivir he could receive. Chase was intubated and could not consent to the treatment. Karen says nobody told her the drug had been administered despite her repeated objections. According to her testimony, hospital records show Chase began a five-day course of remdesivir on November 19, 2021. An infectious-disease doctor stopped the treatment after two days. On November 21, Chase began dialysis. Just three days earlier, Karen says, his nephrologist had documented that his kidneys were functioning adequately. Chase later died. “Nothing’s going to bring back my son. But those responsible should be, and institutions should be held accountable.” On September 28, 2026, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson led a roundtable discussion titled “COVID-19 Hospital Protocols: Real Stories from Real People.” FULL EVENT: https://rumble.com/v7g3rtm-live-sen.-ron-johnson-roundtable-covid-hospital-protocols-under-the-microsc.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o
