DALILA GAITAN

What would make hundreds of grieving Americans travel to Washington, D.C., carrying photographs of their loved ones—and why did they have to fight so hard to be heard? My name is Heidi Bond. I attended Senator Ron Johnson’s roundtable on COVID hospital protocols in Washington, D.C., on September 28, 2026. I traveled there for my best friend, Lupe Espinoza, who died on September 28, 2021. (You can view her story here)👇 betrayalprojectusa.org/lupe-… I believe the hospital protocols killed her. 👇 betrayalprojectusa.org/hospi… On the fifth anniversary of her death, I went to make sure her story was heard and as a board member of Betrayal Project USA, I also went for families still fighting for answers. Brittany Gilchrist, Polly Combs, and Belinda York traveled from our community to represent their loved ones, too. Families from across the nation brought photographs of their loved ones. Every face represented someone deeply loved—and desperately missed. One panelist was Betrayal Project USA’s president, Gail Seiler. Gail told the roundtable she was denied food for 12 days and water for seven. She described being left naked, denied basic hygiene, and designated “do not resuscitate” against her wishes. She said access to her Catholic priest was conditioned on accepting remdesivir. The hospital told her family she could not be saved. Her husband, Brad “Huckleberry” Seiler, a former Army captain and ER nurse, refused to accept that. He stormed the Texas ICU determined to bring her home. Gail was conscious and wanted to go with him. Yet their effort to leave became a six-hour police standoff. Brad told the roundtable: “I would not abandon her.” Gail asked the police sergeant: “Am I a patient or a prisoner?” As they finally left, Brad recalled a nurse telling him: “Mark my words, she will be dead tonight, or before you even get her home.” Gail described recovering at home with her family’s care, where she received treatments she said the hospital had denied, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. How many families were told their loved one could not be saved and never had the chance to bring them home? Thank you, Senator Johnson @SenRonJohnson , for listening. Now these accounts deserve independent investigation, examination of medical records, and accountability wherever wrongdoing is established. Read the testimonies.👇 ronjohnson.senate.gov/issues… Watch the roundtable. 👇 rumble.com/v7fzl66-test.html Share these families’ stories. Ask your representatives what they will do. We cannot bring Lupe home. But we can keep demanding answers—for her, for every family grieving, and for every patient who needs an advocate today. Please keep these families in your hearts and prayers. 🇺🇸 @Betrayal_Proj @akahuckleberry @Saorise69 @bluhawii26 @MIBetrayalProj @donna_spach626 @WellnessPattiG @BrittGilchrist @Justice4Earl @Healingground2 @TerresaHobbs @justice4_mom @DrMargaretShow @sparkysgirls777 @Fynnderella1 @welcometheeagle @naomirwolf @BusyDrT @SharonBurn83187 @RemdesivirKills @Healthwarrior86 @ourptrights @jathorpmfm @_TheYoungBlood @MJ826233075 @VinnDoggRadio @Justice4Chappy @LeslieBatts02 @Widowokie @alignedadvocate
