"The investigators found nearly half of patients with COVID-19 develop a secondary ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia."
The study findings also negate the cytokine storm theory, said Singer. "
""Those who were cured of their secondary pneumonia were likely to live, while those whose pneumonia did not resolve were more likely to die," Singer said.
"Our data suggested that the mortality related to the virus itself is relatively low,
but other things that happen during the ICU stay, like secondary bacterial pneumonia, offset that."
"The study findings also negate the cytokine storm theory, said Singer."
"Secondary bacterial infection of the lung (pneumonia) was extremely common in patients with COVID-19,
affecting almost half the patients who required support from mechanical ventilation.
By applying machine learning to medical record data,
scientists found that secondary bacterial pneumonia that does not resolve was a key driver of death in patients with COVID-19.
It may even exceed death rates from the viral infection itself.
(My Comment) : Interesting that only allowed, CDC recommended hospital medical protocol called for remdesivir and ventilator
"The investigators found nearly half of patients with COVID-19 develop a secondary ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia."
As FReeper 'dadfly' said (!/8/21):" the “protocols of death” happen under illegitimate authority given in ignorance to so called “expert opinion” completely without informed consent.
it is authority given without proper checks or vetting."
I would add only that to recognize only a single protocol, without any consideration for alternatives, led up to this unfortunate, but preventable, situation
The "Kancel Kulture", coercion, and threat of losing your medical license contributed to this singular protocol 'mindset'
In the future,in case of another outbreak of an infectious virus, going to hospital could be dangerous to your health
The medical establishment itself has destroyed any credibility it had. It has given us not only no reason not to trust it, but has given us a plethora of reasons to NOT trust it ever again.
Trust lost like that is virtually impossible to regain.
