For the government and the CDC and these 3-letter organizations to tell practitioners that they could not administer steroids, which is the . . . this is the best treatment for an inflammatory process, it was absolutely criminal. You can't withhold steroids for the most inflammatory disease processes that humanity has ever seen. So we have isolation of patients, fear-mongering from the media, withholding steroids, and the administration of Remdesivir. Those were the things that I went to work and had to manage, where every day I felt like I was violating my oath as a practitioner.

I look at my colleagues and I know that they sold their souls. They're jeopardizing their ethics and their morals. --Nurse Gail McRae
FWIW, Nurse Gail McRae initially reported her findings publicly back in April 2023.
Regarding the administration of Remdesivir, an EUA medication, was the only drug that we were allowed to administer to patients who were hospitalized with COVID and it was an antiviral. I had been taught in my undergrad, my bachelor's degree program for nursing, that you do not administer an antiviral more than 24 to 48 hours post-symptom onset for a viral infection; in other words, no more than 2 days after symptoms. And so this medication was given to patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 usually not until 10, 12 days post-symptom onset. So I would ask my colleagues, "Why are we giving this medication?" The administrator, my hospital, "Why are we doing this?" and their eyes would glaze over. And I would say to them, "We have evidence showing that the administration of antiviral more than 2 days post-symptom onset causes more harm than good; the risk-benefit analysis does not correlate. In addition to that, this is an experimental use product." And I knew that each one of those doses was over $3,000.
4:49. So that was another huge red flag in addition to that the next part of the COVID protocol that was so extremely disturbing to me was the fact that at the onset of hospitalization for COVID there was a team of respiratory intensivists who went before Congress and showed them effective high dose steroids how effective high dose steroids were for the treatment of patients who had COVID. Not only were we ignoring those recommendations for high-dose steroids they were actually blocking it from our hospital to use. So we have patients coming in who are feared to death by the media they are being isolated by their loved ones they're having steroid treatments so I'll say one more thing about the steroids because this is really important the covid whatever it was viral risk whatever covid was it caused more inflammation than we had ever seen in the hospital there's a lab value called CRP even with influenza and things like this we had never seen the inflammatory marker, a CRP, jumped so high as we did with COVID. For the government and the CDC and these 3-letter organizations to tell practitioners that they could not administer steroids, which is the . . . this is the best treatment for an inflammatory process, it was absolutely criminal. You can't withhold steroids for the most inflammatory disease processes that humanity has ever seen. So we have isolation of patients, fear-mongering from the media, withholding steroids, and the administration of Remdesivir. Those were the things that I went to work and had to manage, where every day I felt like I was violating my oath as a practitioner. And it wasn't until after the rollout of the shots where I just couldn't do my job anymore. So that was the next part of what I witnessed.
Like I said earlier I worked in the Bay area of California for an organization called Kaiser Permanente. And they have a full scope of care. Their structure is set up to where you get your primary care, acute care, Pediatric Care, all the medications, and all your vaccines all in the same organization. So with the COVID-19 vaccine, they were administering it at my hospital. They released the shots to the practitioners in January of 2021 but they didn't release them to the public until close to the end of February. So by the beginning of March, I was starting to notice that my hospital was becoming slammed and this is unusual because we get winter rushes. This is how the hospital works: it's dead in the summer, it's full in the winter. This is the cycle. So I started noticing in March of 2021 it was very peculiar that I was starting to get all these calls to come to work. The hospital was understaffed, and it did not stop. I was in graduate school at the time for a double nurse practitioner degree, so I would do 3 weeks at the hospital, then I'd take some time off and study for my schooling. So by June when I went into the hospital, I was there for 3 weeks 3 weeks from March to April and then another 3 weeks in the middle of June to the beginning of July and I was working non-stop. I would work double basically every single shift. I was getting phone calls three times, sometimes four times a day to come to work because they were so understaffed at the hospital then in June my manager approached me, and said, "Gail, this hospital has had three times more admissions than we have ever had since the hospital opened their doors." So that's a 300% increase in hospitalizations directly associated with the onset of these shots.
9:50. What were you seeing?
9:53. During that week, it was the end of June around the 28th of that month, my manager came up and said this to me, and during that week I had mentioned that I was working a double every single shift that I worked. And because of that position being in grad school, I held a position called per diem. What that means is that oftentimes when I come to work I end up filling in, and I'll float to wherever they need me in the hospital. So on that shift when my manager had told me that we had had three times more admissions than he'd ever seen, it was that day, the next day I came in and worked a double and I split that 16 hours between two different units and I got a report on every single patient in both of those units. And this is right when it really hit me that these were injection injuries because that's about 30 patients per unit I got a report on. Every single one was there for some peculiar clot that I'd never heard of, a stroke, a heart attack. I had seen by that day 4 patients with rapid onset Guillain-Barre syndrome; in my entire career, I'd seen two. 10 years as a nurse in acute care, I took care of two patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome; within a few short weeks, I'd seen 4. I had the opportunity to ask 2 of those patients directly what they thought was the cause of the onset of their Guillain-Barre Syndrome. And two of them did tell me that they had received those COVID shots within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. From there I approached my managers and said "I have gotten reports on two units full of patients that are all having the weirdest set of symptoms and several of them are confirming that they just gotten the COVID vaccines. How can I report this?" My direct manager's response was we cannot report these because we cannot prove that these are what is the cause, that these shots are what is causing these injections. [she's either getting tired at this point in the interview or the explanation, the accounting for the injuries from the shots is so convoluted that she's repeating a lot of the gaslighting from the managers.] One of my colleagues was actually the nurse at the COVID-19 injection clinic, she approached me one day and she will not come publicly to say this because she's afraid of losing her job. But she'd asked her manager the same thing, and they told her that if she reported a single adverse event, she would be fired.
12:24. So we were constantly under pressure not to report. All of my concerns regarding the COVID protocols for hospitalized patients were not being addressed. I mentioned multiple times that I've felt like we were violating our oath and I was ignored. So it was shortly after that time in June of 2h21 that I had legal documents processed-served to several members of my hospital and they fired me in retaliation for trying to hold them accountable for what I was witnessing. But I asked myself a lot . . . I think that . . . really, one of the most important things to really notice here is people say to me like "Why are you coming forward and your colleagues aren't?" and I want to really recognize here how it is that I ended up in this position because I think that I noticed when this was all happening that there was probably about 30% of my colleagues who saw what I was seeing. And it is . . . it's like this attention to detail, critical thinking, ability to really deeply analyze what you're seeing, and then continue to dig into why it was happening. And so there are these types of skills in combination with the fact that you know, I didn't go to public schools in high school. It really reminded me of that this whole situation on the COVID floors. It reminded me of how I felt in high school when I was home-schooled and I wasn't with the in-crowd, and I saw this happening with my colleagues. I saw them wanting to be with the in-crowd. They didn't want to rock the boat. They didn't want to potentially jeopardize their income; they had mortgages, so they chose to do what was easy and go along. And I would say to them this is something that I have found to be the most powerful of all the things that have happened in the last two years is that I'm free. You know, I look at my colleagues and I know that they sold their souls. They're, you know, they're doing these things, they're jeopardizing their ethics and their morals. For me, it's been so empowering because I know that my children are seeing a leader and they will be emboldened by what they have seen me do, and at the end of life, at the end of the day these are the things that matter. My paycheck it's irrelevant so I think that's really kind of a takeaway that I have gleaned from all of this. How free I feel and how happy I am to be able to show my children how to live free.
16:00. When I saw you nurse told us that the billing system won't let you code in fully vaxed so if you've had one coat one code box of Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson & Johnson you're still considered unvaxXed. They would let you put in ventilated unvaccinated death and then just vent death but there was never . . .
17:30. There was a support group in my committed in my community for practitioners who were being alienated and discriminated against in the same way that patients were being discriminated against for choosing not to get these shots the staff members were too and that was actually one of the things that came up when we came together and started talking was how we noticed the documentation systems for recognizing people who were vaccinated or unvec versus unvaccinated in my community so I was fired in October of 21 so there was 6 months where I was intermittently in the hospital witnessing how they had altered the Epic system.
