IN-DEPTH: Patient Advocates, Physicians Say ‘Don’t Give in to Fear’ About New COVID Variant

The Epoch Times Header

The headlines have returned: a new COVID variant may lead to the renaissance of enthusiasm for mask mandates.

Though some may be thinking, “Not again,” there are many who never stopped living as they did in those two years when fear—symbolized by the face covering worn alone while driving vehicles and even when exercising—became a religion heralded by media and public health officials.

However, Priscilla Romans, a former nurse and now a patient advocate, told The Epoch Times that there’s a better way.

“People need to be empowered to take their health care back into their own hands so that they can make informed decisions,” Ms. Romans said.

Most importantly, she said, don’t give in to fear.

“When people ask me, ‘Is this really going to start happening all over again,’ my comment to them is, ‘I don’t know if this is real or not, but I do know that fear makes people sick,’” Ms. Romans said. “So, when we empower people, we infuse them with hope so that they don’t have to be afraid.”

Hope, Ms. Romans said, is a medicine not to be underestimated.

She’s witnessed hope’s benefits firsthand in her patient-advocacy business, Graith Care, which provides patients with alternatives to being solely dependent on the “white coats” of the “medical industrial complex” to determine the right course of treatment.

“People not only get sick from fear but also can make bad decisions and listen to people they can’t trust, which is why I’m very passionate about them getting proactive and having a patient advocate to show them alternatives instead of relying on pharmaceuticals with potential adverse reactions,” Ms. Romans said.

‘They Are Scared of Going Back’

Graith Care began when many patients and medical professionals were seeing how broken the system really was long before COVID-19 brought its corruption to the surface.

“I launched Graith Care from my own home not knowing what was around the corner with all the vaccine mandates, protocols, and the use of drugs like remdesivir that, in many cases, have been deadly,” Ms. Romans told The Epoch Times in a previous interview.

Since then, she’s expanded her business to help people throughout the United States and internationally.

To help those who can’t afford patient advocacy care, she’s set up a nonprofit called Graithful Giving for donations.
