An Estimated 30,000 Americans Were Killed by Ventilators & Iatrogenesis in April 2020
2022-10-10
[New Normal] To date, we still don’t have especially good studies on the actual causes of excess deaths by state and country when the world first went into lockdown in spring 2020.

For political reasons, these deaths were all generally been lumped together as "Covid deaths," but this coding was appallingly sloppy. According to the World Health Organization’s initial coding guidance, if a decedent had either tested positive—using a PCR test later confirmed by the New York Times to have a false positive rate over 85%—or been in contact with anyone who had within several weeks prior to their death, then the death should be classified as a "Covid death." This enormous number of "Covid deaths" was obviously belied by the fact that many places reporting those "Covid deaths," such as Maine, actually had no excess deaths to speak of.

Thus, this article reexamines data from the US CDC on all-cause excess deaths by state during peak lockdown in April 2020 using the information we now know to determine what actually caused them.

This examination concludes that, contrary to popular belief, there was no uniquely deadly strain or variant emanating out of New York in spring 2020; this is clear from the fact that several states close to New York such as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine experienced little to no excess deaths during that time period.

On the contrary, over 30,000 Americans appear to have been killed by mechanical ventilators or other forms of medical iatrogenesis throughout April 2020, primarily in the area around New York.
Cure much worse than the disease ?
This result is not altogether surprising, as subsequent studies revealed a 97.2% mortality rate among those over age 65 who were put on mechanical ventilators in accordance with the initial guidance from the WHO—as opposed to a 26.6% mortality rate among those over age 65 who weren’t put on mechanical ventilators—before a grassroots campaign put a stop to the practice by the beginning of May 2020.

As one doctor later told the Wall Street Journal, "We were intubating sick patients very early. Not for the patients’ benefit, but in order to control the epidemic... That felt awful."
He lamented as he drove away from the hospital in his Bentley Mulsanne.
To put this in perspective, patients over age 65 were more than 26 times as likely to survive if they were not placed on mechanical ventilators.

#17  Damage was done as ventilator was inserted as well. A doctor asked me if he could insert a ventilator in my wife. I told him no and use a pressure pump instead to get air to her lungs....she was out of the hospital two days later. (I had told my wife to have the doctor call me if any discussion comes up about ventilator use.) This was last DEC 2021.

#16  Controlling the spread was not the issue. Collecting the COVID death bounty was the issue. The approved protocol was a death sentence, especially the administering of Remdesivir which destroys the kidneys. When on a ventilator, they would pump up the pressure and ruin the patients lungs. These victims were not killed, they were murdered for money. Call it what it is.

#15  “If covid spread faster the crisis would have ended sooner.”

But… you can’t say that! That’s evolutionary biology! That’s MISINFORMATION!

#14  The useless means applied to slowing the spread ov covid to the extent that they slowed its sporead was the exent that they prolonged the period at which society was tortured.
If covid spread faster the crisis would have ended sooner.
nd crushing society at the same time was destructive and not at all helpful, except toward undermining Trump and changing election laws.

#13  Remember when we were all going to die because there weren't enough ventilators?

#11  Iatrogenesis is the causation of a disease, a harmful complication, or other ill effect by any medical activity, including diagnosis, intervention, error, or negligence. - Wiki

In short a course of treatment that actually makes the patient I’ll.

It’s a perfect summary of the ass-backward COVID policies pursued by these idiots. They’ve harmed millions to spare a few thousand.

#7  These criminals are destroying millions of lives. They know they’ve totally fucked up, they won’t ir can’t admit it, and they’re continuing to swing a wrecking ball across the countries that Pfizer looted.

#6  We still don't know, but but should try to discover who died "from" COVID and who died "with" COVID.

Of course we know. Look at the co-morbidities. The CDC knows this data. They and their media stenographers have been lying shamelessly about it due over two years —- with one exception.

Walensky the CDC chief admitted that over 90% of the deaths attributed to COVID actually occurred with multiple co-morbidities. She said so in a public appearance. It was briefly reported and then the story disappeared from view, like so many other embarrassing facts about this ridiculously overhyped pseudo-crisis.

So the number of actual deaths from COVID is on the order of less than 90,000 per year, which is equivalent to a nasty flu season in this country.

#5  So called smart people make bad decisions all the time. COVID response was driven by greed, politics, pride, ego, power, fear, control….. I would be surprised if anyone actually admits their mistakes.

#4  Apparently treatment and cure were not the central issues or concerns. Controlling the spread was the issue.

#3  If anything killed them, it was the money-making Remdesivir protocol.

#2  What the article doesn't mention is that patients are placed on a ventilator only when gravely ill.

By definition patients not placed on a ventilator are far more likely to survive.

We still don't know, but but should try to discover who died "from" COVID and who died "with" COVID.

I firmly believe that far fewer died from it than we have been lied to believe.
