Video: Media Panicked Over Chloroquine But New Data Suggests It's Ventilators That Are Killing People


The media for weeks has been throwing a fit over President Trump touting "unproven," potentially "deadly" hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus but they've been hyping the clear and present danger of America not having enough ventilators without ever questioning their effectiveness.

It turns out ventilators appear to be killing coronavirus patients en masse.

From AP, "Some doctors moving away from ventilators for virus patients":

NEW YORK (AP) — As health officials around the world push to get more ventilators to treat coronavirus patients, some doctors are moving away from using the breathing machines when they can.

The reason: Some hospitals have reported unusually high death rates for coronavirus patients on ventilators, and some doctors worry that the machines could be harming certain patients.

[...] Mechanical ventilators push oxygen into patients whose lungs are failing. Using the machines involves sedating a patient and sticking a tube into the throat. Deaths in such sick patients are common, no matter the reason they need the breathing help.

Generally speaking, 40% to 50% of patients with severe respiratory distress die while on ventilators, experts say. But 80% or more of coronavirus patients placed on the machines in New York City have died, state and city officials say.

Higher-than-normal death rates also have been reported elsewhere in the U.S., said Dr. Albert Rizzo, the American Lung Association’s chief medical officer.

Similar reports have emerged from China and the United Kingdom. One U.K. report put the figure at 66%. A very small study in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the disease first emerged, said 86% died.

Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell, an ER and critical care doctor from New York City, concluded that ventilators were doing more harm than good over a week ago and suggested oxygen as a superior treatment:

Why Are We Ignoring all the Contrarian Scholars on COVID-19?


By Daniel Payne
TheCollegeFix.com

Media ratings and political calculus, maybe?

A few months into the coronavirus panic here in this country, and one thing is clear: People love bad news. Headlines obsessively chart each new case and each new death; medical doctors are constantly on television and in news media warning us that “the worst is yet to come,” that “the fight is just beginning,” that this is the “new normal” and that we won’t be able to resume typical social conventions “for a long time.”

You might think it’s a universal consensus that this disease is both world-ending and here to stay. Yet many scholars—a growing amount of them, more and more every day—are sounding the alarm on what they’re calling a major overreaction to this disease: epidemiologists, public health officials, preventative medicine experts, professors and numerous other academics have all been raising red flags regarding the draconian, ongoing response to the coronavirus outbreak here, namely by pointing out that lockdowns are ineffective, unwise and destructive policy that will put millions out of work while doing little to halt the spread of the disease.

Why is nobody paying attention to them? Are they less credentialed, more inexperienced, less trustworthy? None of those things are true. There are, rather, likely two elements here: In the first place, much of the media are largely invested in terrifying, scary headlines and news stories meant to shock and frighten readers with seemingly grim and dire predictions: Readers, for whatever reason, will often keep returning to news sources that scare the living daylights out of them. We’re a strange species.

Government officials, too, are very much invested in promoting doomsayer scenarios, simply because that’s what they’ve been doing all along: We’ve been told from the beginning that this is a once-in-a-century pandemic that could result in literally millions of deaths if major, disruptive, open-ended government measures are not taken to combat it. It would be humiliating, and in some cases politically suicidal, if they were to entertain the less-panicky models and projections, let alone endorse them. Better to just keep heralding the end of the world even as the data get better on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.

There are differing, dissenting opinions on this pandemic from scholars and academics who can be trusted. They’re worth listening to. Don’t be afraid to seek them out.

It’s Time to Ask: Is “Virus Science” Any More Accurate than “Climate Science”?


By Debbie Georgatos
AmericaCanWeTalk.org

America has gone from what may have been history’s strongest economy to total shutdown and near depression in less than 60 days.   It has gone from the land of the free and the home of the brave to a nation of meek serfs bowing to police state totalitarian government edicts to stop working and stay at home, or else. And it has done so in face of a pandemic that has claimed less than half the lives already estimate to be claimed by the ‘regular flu’ this flu season.

Joe Everyman has the ability to see all of this, call BS, and say WTH?   Why can’t anyone at any level of government?

Ah! But the science!!! The science told us this could result in millions of deaths; the science told us hospitals will be quickly overwhelmed; the science told us we can’t possibly have enough ICU units; the science told us we must shut down everything, maintain social distancing, rat on our friends and neighbors to give us even a fighting chance to contain this apocalypse, and no one should ever question science.

Plus this wasn’t just the 97% consensus of scientists who’ve been 0 for 41 on their predictions as to climate change, this was the almighty Dr. Anthony Fauci himself telling us these things! And he’s a friend of Bill Gates!

Let’s look at the famous scientific model of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), funded by Bill and Melinda Gates (H/T Derek Hunter, “Is What We’re Being Told About the Coronavirus Wrong?“).

On April 4th, the IHME model predicted there would be between 120,963 and 203,436 Americans requiring hospitalization, with the average of that range being 164,745.

In reality, there were 18,998. Missed it by 84%..against the low end of the prediction.

Same model…the average projected ICU beds needed on April 4th was 31,057.

The reality was 4,686. Missed it by 85%.

And of course, the infamous Imperial College model told the UK to expect a half million deaths—and sent the whole country into panic, sadly including PM Boris Johnson—before revising downward to 20,000. Missed it by 96%.

But it’s science. You flyover idiots don’t understand…models can be off, sure, but don’t be a denier. Besides, it’s better to be safe than sorry. And if the shut down of America saved even one life, it’s all worth it! In science we trust.

Somehow Americans were able to turn away from the siren song of climate alarmists; they could sense how climate computer models, while increasingly sophisticated, are still only as good as the assumptions and inputs and algorithmic correlations and calibrations built into them. And as much as ‘hockey stick’ Michael Mann sought the iconic status in climate science that Dr. Anthony Fauci has in ‘virus science’, his scientific credibility was questioned, and didn’t hold up under scrutiny. He never became an oracle.

So what explains Americans’ abject capitulation to the apocalyptic predictions of virus science that they so naturally resisted in the case of climate science?

Well, there’s obviously a much, much longer history of medical research and knowledge and therapeutic results by comparison to the relatively new domain of climate science.   And real pictures of sick and suffering people with COVID-19 move the emotions far more immediately and significantly than a staged-to-convey-a-false-impression picture of a stranded polar bear on a piece of floating ice. Plus everyone has a doctor or nurse in their family or their circle of friends and relatives, and they are generally good people who chose their profession in large part due to a desire to help sick people recover.  They can be trusted.  Few people know a climate scientist.

So the population at large is educated by the culture to assign much, much higher credibility to a pandemic model than a climate change model.

But at the end of the day, here we are: living through hell on the basis of pandemic models’ predictions of calamity, and not one of those on whom the ‘experts’ are relying has been anywhere close to accurate, and ALL have erred in the same direction: to grossly overestimate the danger. Dr. Fauci ought to be out of a job.

Trump: Cloroquine Is An ‘Incredible’ Drug, COVID-19 Vaccine May Have ‘Horrible Impact’ If Not Fully Tested


President Trump on Sunday touted the promising results from small-scale studies of hydroxycloroquine and warned that a coronavirus vaccine may have a “horrible impact” if not properly tested.

“If we have a vaccine, we have to make sure it doesn’t have a horrible impact, that it doesn’t destroy anyone, with the other one [hydroxycloroquine] we don’t have to,” Trump said.

 

 

From The Hill, “Trump promotes use of drug for coronavirus: ‘I’m not a doctor. But I have common sense'”:

“What do you have to lose?” he said. “I’m not looking at it one way or another. But we want to get out of this. If [hydroxycloroquine] does work, it would be a shame if we didn’t do it early.”

“What do I know? I’m not a doctor,” he added. “But I have common sense.”

The president has for days opined on the potential efficacy of hydroxychloroquine when taken with azithromycin.

[…] “I want people to live, and I’m seeing people dying,” he said. “And you know the expression when that’s happening. You should do it. What really do we have to lose?”

CDC Cooking the Number!


From CDC Website: Hospitals to List COVID-19 as Cause of Death Even if It's "Assumed to Have Caused Or Contributed to Death" - Lab Tests Not Required
 

By By Cristina Laila
TheGatewayPundit.com

Governors are forcing small businesses to shut down and threatening to jail anyone who violates their authoritarian social distancing orders.

The media hysteria is based on a Bill Gates-funded IHME Coronavirus model that has been proven to be way off.

It gets worse…

The amount of Americans who are reported to have died from the Coronavirus is based on a CDC coding system that will “result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.”

A new ICD code was established to keep track of Coronavirus deaths.

The U07.1 code will be used for death by Coronavirus infection.

However, there’s another secondary code, U07.2, “for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available,” the CDC guidelines read.

“Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.”

This is a huge problem.

“The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID- 19 being the underlying cause more often than not,” the guidelines read.

“COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” CDC guidelines issued March 24 read. “Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc.,” the guidance continued.

“If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II.”

Video: Dr. Thomas Cowan, M.D., Lecturing on Relationship between Pandemics and New Technology

Wuhan is the first city to be fully under 5G


Dr. Thomas Cowan, M. D. says that the alleged SARS Cov2 pandemic maybe history repeating itself caused by the rollout of new techoloby like 5G microwave networks.  Cowan said pandemics are the result of our bodies being POISONED by these new techonologies and viruses are an excretion of a toxic cells, they are pieces of DNA or RNA with a few of other proteins they bolt out of our cells to mitigate the damage being done to us by these new environmental influences.

Video: Project Veritas: National Guard At COVID-19 Test Site Say “It’s The Flu!”

Officials say mainstream media overhyping pandemic


Infowars.com

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe filmed his experience at the Glen Island Park COVID-19 drive-thru testing facility in New Rochelle, New York.

A New York National Guardsman and a medical professional both told O’Keefe the media is making the virus out to be worse than it actually is.

 

 
 
 

 

In the first encounter, O’Keefe asked, “What about the situation itself. Is it as bad as–the media is saying? The whole pandemic?”

“Oh no. It’s just, it’s the flu!” he responded.

“So, it’s not as bad as the media’s saying?” O’Keefe reiterated.

“No. I’m in the tents with them. I’m doing all this shit and I’m not getting sick, I’m good,” the National Guardsman answered.

O’Keefe also asked a medical professional at the testing site if the media is accurately reporting on the situation.

“Is it as bad as people are saying?” he asked.

“No,” the medical worker replied, waving his hands back and forth and adding, “We just wanna be precautious.”

O’Keefe did emphasize that these were not his words, but the words of a New York National Guardsman, who was presumably briefed on the situation by his chain of command.
