A Doctor Reaches Out on Reddit: It's Not Just Remdesivir + Intubation That Is Murdering COVID Patients - Another Little Known Drug is Driving The Highest COVID Mortality In America
A Doctor Reaches Out on Reddit: It's Not Just Remdesivir + Intubation That Is Murdering COVID Patients - Another Little Known Drug is Driving The Highest COVID Mortality In America
I reposted the article 1 Million COVID Deaths: Here’s The Real Reason Why More People Died From COVID In The United States Than Every Other Country on Reddit and a doctor was kind enough to reply with utterly fascinating comments: Because we have a large amount of obesity in this country. Just from that alone you have hypertension and diabetes.

the docs knew from day one vents were a death sentence. but they were afraid of Teh China Virus and screw those patients, I guess. I'll never forgive, nor forget. Doctors of late make lawyers look, frankly, awesome.

I always wondered exactly why they chose dexamethasone.
In the nursing homes we saw a lower death rate than was normal pre-pandemic with COPD, emphysema, and other lung patients because, what were they doing different than all the other co-morbidities crowd without lung issues, INHALED STEROIDS!
I remember use of inhaled budesonide was postulated or even used in some cases, which would seem to be a very good idea, but then I didn't hear much about it.

I have a question. I'm a new reader, so it's possible this has been addressed at some point. I'm 47 yo and very healthy. I know a lot of ppl say they are, but for real, I am. I'm a strength and conditioning coach, 5'5" @ 125#, mom of an 11 and 5 year old. I can run a 25 min 5k and squat clean 145#, 155 if it's a really good day. Diet is also on point. Not bragging but wanted to preface what I am about to say. I also have (difficult to treat, aka hard to get down) high blood pressure. I've tried multiple holistic methods in my mid-30s that were unsuccessful. I've acupuncture also tried acupuncture and chiropractic. Both of my parents were hypertensive; my mom at 25 was on BP meds. So now I've been on 2 BP meds for about 4 years. When I got covid, and I believe I got it from shedding of the first round vaxxd age 10+ group in Nov 2021, I was already on a Zelenko preventative protocol. I switched to IVT vs HCQ once I realized I had the C. Regardless I was hit REALLY hard. I continued taking my BP meds, tried to stay hydrated, eat well, etc. What happened is I wound up bottoming out on my BP and at one point was at 85/50. Only reason i know is bc my husband took my BP bc I could not stay awake and kept passing out even when sitting in a chair. I immediately stopped my BP meds and about 3 days later it was "normal." And after 2 weeks I was back on my meds with my BP at its usual high. Could it be possible that ppl w/ hypertension are bottoming out on their BP that get covid since they continue taking their meds, which puts a massive strain on their kidneys possibly deteriorating at home without knowing it leasing to death that way? I haven't really done too much research on it bc once I was over it (and celebrated the natural immunity) I didnt really care. But after reading this about diabetes and tgus med, it made me curious about BP meds too. Any thoughts or expertise in this area?

Hello, different doctor here.
I was not in NYC during the initial wave of the pandemic, but I had a lot of friends there I’ve known since we were all in medical school I regularly corresponded with who were.
Most of what’s stated here matches what I heard.
I felt the most telling line was “Their replies were blank stares” was the most telling.
A few extra comments I’d put in:
•Doctors in NYC were severely undersupplied (which was either severe incompetence or intentional). Beyond the PPE shortages, I know of one hospital where the oxygen ran out.
•I believe another major cause of the deaths in NYC was the panic and anxiety everyone had there (a collective terror gripped NYC at the start of the pandemic), as many people would have their respirations worsen due to anxiety and then be flagged as dying from COVID and immediately intubated. While diabetes and obesity are recognized as major risk factors, anxiety is too (I’ve seen data placing it in the top 3).
•People with COVID can tolerate very low oxygen saturations normal people can’t. I believe this arises from the fact the there are microclotts in the blood and increased blood viscosity it creates has a greater impact in the periphery than the central circulation, so since oxygen saturation is always measured in the periphery it it not representative of the oxygenation the critical organs are getting.
•One of the largest factors that determined if someone survived intubation was how competent the physician ventilating them (COVID ventilation management is more complicated than typical intubations). Many of the people who were put on vents had people who had no experience running vents man the ventilators. The problem was looked at from a standpoint of not having enough ventilators (hence the mad push to get as many vents as possible) but the other half of the equation (people with sufficient experience manning vents) was never considered. The one person we knew would have to intubated we worked as a team to find a hospital that had no medical residents at but did have competent critical care specialists there(only found one place that fit the bill in a large city), and then once our friend was hospitalized, we made sure to get the best person there on the vent and periodically asked questions about the vent settings to them so they would focus on the case. Long story short my friend survived and beat the 5-10% odds of success he had to make it through, although it was incredibly difficult to find the correct hospital in the time frame we had to work with.
•A few people I knew tried to speak up for alternative treatments (even basic things like vitamins) never got anywhere and the medical field was very close minded towards trying them even on people expected to have an imminent risk of death.
•The dexamethasone and withdrawal of lasix point raised here is interesting. I will need to find out if that’s true (that they d/c’d lasix at admission) because that would have killed a lot of people had it been done. My own experience with using steroids on an outpatient basis (for people who are very sick but staying at home) is that they have a lot of notable side effects, but they protect the lungs and keep people alive. Dexamethasone in a hospital raising the blood sugar is a real risk, but that can normally be managed with insulin, although I could see that having been overlooked if everyone was really overworked (it was very challenging to take care of all the patients at the start of pandemic, so personelle to run the vents was just was one issue). My own opinion is that one of the greatest issues with spiking the blood sugar is that this also increases blood viscosity, which was very problematic for the individuals who already had impaired circulation from the virus.
For anyone interested, I wrote a more detailed summary of a lot of this here:

We have the ways you stated here to kill “Covid “ patients. In the UK they used midazolam in conjunction with morphine to accomplish this goal. Both countries also used starvation as an implement for death.
Dexamethasone is under "Recommended by the Panel for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain nonhospitalized and hospitalized patients."
Unlike the drugs.com page, there's no recommendation to avoid using in patients with kidney / liver issues. There's also a note essentially blessing coadmin with remdesivir.
However, following the link for "hospitalized patients" leads to a more restricted recommendation to on-oxygen-only:

The corporation always comes first. Or maybe that’s the privately funded partnerships. Either way, all the good little order followers made sure people died for profits so they could earn their 30 pieces of silver.

Just going from memory here, folks.

Bit hard to find, here it is in the NIH guidelines https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/immunomodulators-characteristics/
Dexamethasone is under "Recommended by the Panel for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain nonhospitalized and hospitalized patients."
Unlike the drugs.com page, there's no recommendation to avoid using in patients with kidney / liver issues. There's also a note essentially blessing coadmin with remdesivir.

https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/management/clinical-management/hospitalized-adults--therapeutic-management/
This may be the result of later edits, I'll check wayback
*edit: https://web.archive.org/web/20210709045635/https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/management/clinical-management/hospitalized-adults--therapeutic-management/ shows same no-recommend-for-no-Oxygen guideline. But then recommend for Oxygen and above. That's as of July 2021, so going into the Delta wave and huge rise in in-hospital deaths/murders in the south and elsewhere.
The corporation always comes first. Or maybe that’s the privately funded partnerships. Either way, all the good little order followers made sure people died for profits so they could earn their 30 pieces of silver.
trump the king of ventilators.
that moron ...
All of these are tied into severe vit D deficiency..
Can you please link to the Reddit post?
