(LifeSiteNews) — A pro-life initiative spearheaded by two American women seeks to teach citizens how to assert their religious freedom through informed consent and enable them to avoid dying in a hospital due to unwanted treatments and protocols.
ProtocolKills.com started as an awareness campaign, a place for people to share stories of being caught in the hospital—including of people who never came back out before death. Together with HospitalHostageHelp.com, the website presents a solution to the problem of people dying due to hospital protocols that violate their religious beliefs.
The two sites are now connected via link extensions, enabling people both to share their testimonies and gather the necessary tools to prevent similar tragedy from striking them or their loved ones.
“Our goal is to get information to the people so that the people can be empowered themselves to not depend on any specialist organizations or anything else other than their own knowledge, because knowledge is what’s going to save people,” Greta Crawford, founder of ProtocolKills.com, told LifeSiteNews in a phone interview.
During the same conversation, founder of HospitalHostageHelp.com Laura Bartlett added that it is “a much more difficult task to get [patients] safely out of the hospital” once they are already admitted “as opposed to being prepared before you even go into the hospital.”
After working independently to help Americans get out of the hospital alive, Crawford and Bartlett joined forces to teach citizens about their right to informed consent and how to adopt specific documentation and instructions to ensure that their wishes and religious beliefs about certain treatments are respected in the hospital.
Maintaining religious freedom in the hospital
The “Patient Caregivers and Consent” document posted on OurPatientRights.com and featured on ProtocolKills.com was written by a hospital insider who, while remaining anonymous to the public, provided it to be used free of charge and without monetization by the information websites. It is “inspired after something that’s been working for decades, that the Jehovah’s Witness faith uses,” Bartlett said.
Bartlett and Crawford explained that those who practice this religion abstain from accepting blood donations due to their beliefs. To have such practices respected, they have written documentation of their religious beliefs and rights to refuse certain medical treatments.
The hospital insider who wrote the document did so after hearing about a 93-year-old woman who was hospitalized for a reason other than COVID-19 but was pressured to receive the COVID shot anyway, regardless of her verbal plea not to be given the injection. She made it out of the hospital without the shot, and the insider began to contemplate if there was any group whose refusal of certain treatments was always respected. The answer was the Jehovah’s Witnesses, whose religious grounds for refusing blood transfusions are taught to be honored in medical school.
Because this group’s refusal of blood donations is rooted in their faith, the hospital insider developed a document that asserts religious freedom of any faith and for whatever treatments or protocols would violate that faith. The insider found this to be the most effective way to ensure that consent or lack thereof would be honored in the hospital system, which is required to put all written documentation into the medical record.
However, should individuals dislike the wording of the document, there is a caveat at the end of it that allows for people to tailor the form to their needs and beliefs, including a removal of the religious aspect.
The form is found on OurPatientRights.com and ProtocolKills.com alongside a step-by-step video explaining precisely how to complete and use the documents and a set of frequently asked questions.
In addition to the religious freedom grounds, the American Medical Association (AMA) Code of Ethics Opinion 2.1.1 states that “informed consent to medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well considered decisions about care.”
The AMA also states that “when the patient/surrogate has provided specific written consent, the consent form should be included in the record.” Combined with the freedom to exercise religious beliefs, this guidance provides an effective avenue for patients to receive the care that they need without violating their consciences.
Crawford told LifeSiteNews that she and Bartlett very intentionally do not monetize the information or documents shared on their websites “because it’s free information, it’s public knowledge, and we want everyone to have access to it, to have the opportunity to save themselves.”
“[We] are very adamant that we don’t monetize misery,” Bartlett added. “There’s been enough suffering and fear to go around the world many times since [the] beginning of COVID and we are not part of that. We are part of solutions…We both have not monetized any of our work or services.”
They request that this practice is respected and followed by the public, and that people use the information only to help themselves and their loved ones survive hospitalizations.
Joining forces to fight for medical and religious freedom
ProtocolKills.com was set up after Crawford suffered a near-death experience when hospitalized with COVID-19. Dropping oxygen levels and coughing blood prompted her to go to the hospital.
“And of course, I went through what a lot of these victims went through in the hospital,” she told LifeSiteNews. “But the main thing was that I was denied informed consent. I was unvaccinated, harassed repeatedly about being unvaccinated and then given Remdesivir for five days without my informed consent.”
Crawford said that, after receiving treatments that she did not consent to, she “experienced the life-threatening conditions which did not happen two weeks prior when I had COVID. So that’s when I realized that I was really being murdered.”
Even after surviving her hospital stay, Crawford “suffered for months afterwards trying to recover,” a situation which she said never would have occurred if she had known information about asserting her patient rights.
Upon learning about those rights, she “wanted this information out there to the public” and launched ProtocolKills.com “to let them know what exactly was going on in the hospital” and provide a way for victims and their loved ones to share horror stories like the one she had lived.
“I found out that it wasn’t just one hospital, one state, one city—it was the whole country. And then [I] found out it’s all over the world, really, because people are sending stories from everywhere.”
Although the early days of the website saw many cases of patients suffering from COVID-19, Crawford noted that many were given the same protocol without testing positive for the illness, which is “when I realized that this is beyond just COVID.”
Meanwhile, Bartlett was shifting her work of teaching people “early treatment” for the virus to “helping people who are in hospitals.” She said that the “culture” in American hospitals had changed, presenting “a pattern of bullying [and] lying to the patient.” Specifically, this showed in “not giving informed consent, meaning the doctor communicating clearly what the risk and benefits were to whatever the treatment or medication options were.”
Because those reaching out to Bartlett for help described their fear of not being able to leave their facility, she settled on the name HospitalHostageHelp.com for her website, designed to assist patients in getting back home.
The two women met doing their respective work and together expanded ProtocolKills.com to include the resources being used by HospitalHostageHelp.com to teach people how to assert their religious and medical freedom and ensure they are granted informed consent through the document created by the hospital insider.
Expanding the pro-life mission
As people from all over the world have contacted Crawford and Bartlett asking how to implement similar solutions in their countries, the women’s pro-life mission holds significant potential for expansion.
“We don’t know what the patient rights are in every country, but it’s worth a try,” Crawford said. “And if we can get people in other countries…to collaborate with us, we can work together and come up with something to reach specific countr[ies].”
Bartlett added that they recently had their documents and resources translated into Spanish, which will reach an estimated “50 million more Americans.”
“We’re hoping for a grassroots movement across America, and it’s already catching in places like South Africa [and] Canada,” Bartlett said, emphasizing a desire to be able to work with lawyers from different countries to ensure rights are respected and prevent patients’ need for litigation from harmful medical acts. “We want people to be proactive and take accountability for their own health and assert their own rights. And they do that through knowledge and through the strategies.”
“This is about saving lives,” Crawford said. “All lives are so valuable; not just those who are willing to get a vaccine, not just those who are young and have no comorbidity. The old aren’t expendable and the young aren’t [either].”
