I was hearing 60% put on ventilators die... some were even suggesting that should no longer be part of the treatment because it's so unsuccessful.

Those ventilators blast your lungs open.

The treatment is deadlier than the illness. Again...

I think i have an article that showed essentially of you needed to go on a ventilator, over 80 % of the time it was ineffective or actually led to fatality The study was from NY and NYC hospitals. I'll dig it up when i get the chance

There is a nurse from Florida who went to NYC through a per diem job and was saying the reason numbers were so high in the city were because of complete medical negligence, plus the push from admin to admit all Medicare/Medicaid respiratory and chronic illness patients as Covid and many were mismanaged. I’m sure this is happening in many places other than just NYC.

This figures seem so blown out.
