The CDC’s program for COVID has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. And since the federal reimbursements are linked to the approved guidance, you do what the CDC wants, or you don’t get your back scratched. The result is bureaucratic genocide—the Desk Murderers.
We saw this in real-time with our friend John Irish. A hospital trapped him, and government protocol killed him. They followed the book like zealots, and John ended up on the death ventilator. Not so much that it killed him (it contributed), but the hospital wouldn’t even let anyone move him to other accommodations.
He’s on a ventilator. He can’t be moved. No, we can’t take him off. No, he can’t have medications outside the approved protocol. And John left us not shortly after, despite weeks of friends trying to find a lawyer, which didn’t end up helping.
The government killed him. The hospital was their paid assassin.
This is one of many stories just like it.
“In many cases, the hospitals have refused to release the patient, citing their unstable condition, meaning that at some point it can become impossible to get off the COVID express,” Childers wrote in his blog.
“The most common complaints we get include that patients are being pressured to accept Remdesivir, have been given Remdesivir even though they objected to it, or the hospital will not administer alternative widely-used treatments even though the patient is in critical condition where side effects are less risky than imminent death.
“I have personally seen hospitals spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers to keep patients in their facility.”
What happened to first do no harm? It looks like that ship sailed, burned to the waterline, and sank. As a result, families are faced with enormous bills for critical care and legal fees to free loved ones from the tentacles of the Hospital Industrial Complex.
Pro Tip: If you wondered what socialized, government-run medicine would look like, this is it. Death by Hospital. The financial and preferential arrangement between these facilities and the feds has turned into a 21st-century concentration camp with a twist.
You choose to go to the hospital, thinking they will care for you, only to discover they have instructions. If you get sick enough to need an ICU bed, your odds of anything other than dying alone attached to machines are low. And they are not the only ones at risk.
Another hospital in Naples, Florida, had two sisters arrested when they came to the facility seeking a visit with their father or a conversation with his doctor, Jim Boatman, an attorney, told The Epoch Times. The hospital stopped responding to the family’s requests for updates on their loved one when they started asking about alternative treatments, Boatman said.
Welcome to America?
We need to disconnect the incentives, but that won’t be easy. For example, in New Hampshire, the Hospitals own a good chunk of the State Senate. Their tendency to legislate based on these relationships is painful to watch and patently obvious.
These cozy relationships are everywhere, and since COVID has been on steroids. The Feds will want to move forward with their conquest of health care and health insurance, and stopping them will be no easy task.
Local action will be met with threats by providers to leave states that are trying to deregulate federal influence from Health care. Central Planners will scream things like, “you’ll have no hospitals,” and it will ring through the halls and across the media verse.
No hospitals, not likely, but what will you do? Push back.
Try to put a hitch in the step of progressives walking this path to tyranny. I have no idea what that looks like, but it’s never a bad thing to trip up a tyrant, especially when they pretend to be doing a public good (which is always). The party of death has been running a parallel op for years. It involves de-peopling the planet.
Saying it out loud is considered a conspiracy theory, but they say it out loud all the time and call it science. It’s murder.
Start local. Begin by trying to unplug the hospital monopoly on health care so that private practice has not just more incentive to thrive but the freedom to work with patients and families without fear of interference from licensing boards – near hospitals and without their undue influence.
Republicans should be willing to lead any charge that decentralizes something as personal as health care, but good luck with that. As I noted above, buying legislators’ loyalty is big health care business, even in a tiny state like New Hampshire.
But nothing is impossible.
And we already have health-care liberty groups doing yeoman’s work on the COVID clap-trap. I bet they’d be willing to take on this sort of thing.
