Eventually we're going to have to discuss the reality that thousands of people in the United States were probably taken from us via ventilators. I'm surprised that there has not been any decent journalism on this front. NYC is the epicenter of the misused ventilator epidemic.

It seems that in a state of panic, healthcare pros in NYC were killing off ppl left and right through unnecessary ventilator use. Many horror stories of people being put on vents to protect healthy drs & nurses from getting COVID. & these patients had no one to advocate for them.

I know lots of people were talking about this high-profile case in particular. Seems like he was basically tortured to death via medical devices and operations. Tragic. https://twitter.com/meyamoben/status/1303350431125352448?s=20

Yep. Worth revisiting for sure. https://twitter.com/Texas4Ever_ATX/status/1303351763056066560?s=20

@kerpen shared this a little while ago and it seems to be pretty solid, particular the info on how places where vents were used frequently, many more people died. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.16.20035691v1.full.pdf
