'They gave him Remdesivir, despite…': Mom reveals how son’s COVID treatment led to his kidney damage

A mother has shared the heartbreaking story of her son, Chase Hayles, during a discussion involving Senator Ron Johnson on alleged failures in COVID-19 pandemic treatment. Chase, a childhood cancer survivor with pre-existing kidney damage, was hospitalized in Houston in 2021. His mother, Karen Hayles, alleges that the family was assured he would not receive remdesivir, but that he was given the drug anyway, further damaging his kidneys. Chase later died while awaiting a kidney transplant.
