Is it not conceivable that the same top-down policies that destroyed your and Dr Merick's abilities to treat patients and save lives also lead to hospitals abandoning their patient-first policies to instead depend solely on dictates from on-high out of safety for their actual customers, their shareholders? How many hospitals *still* treat Covid patients with remdesivir? While you were honest, stuck to your guns and would not bow to pressure, why do you believe the rest of the medical industry did not toe the line and just do what they were told fearing the destruction of their careers and thus their ability to help patients from within the broken system? Could your honesty be blinding you?

I agree with your premise. The hospitalists who agreed to be responsible for, and direct (and presumably have even an inkling of Mechanical Ventilation Course I), respiratory decisions and procedures used in their hospitals' Covid ICUs and Covid wards, knew or should clearly have known better. Weren't the hospitalized patients past the infectious stage of viral diseases? I don't think Dr. Kory's honesty is blinding him, so much as that he is an optimist and finds it a bit difficult to realize the evil out there. I hope it's that, rather another reason, because we now know that hospital administers insisted that their hospitalists follow their orders to ventilate often, and early. The hospitalists who fought against and resisted those orders were dismissed, and other doctors were found who would implement "the procedures." Yes, mechanical ventilation costs are high, but in addition to reimburse of those typical costs, the hospitals received a substantial stipend over and above the typical costs for mechanical vents. There are very, very few doctors during the pandemic whom I would give a pass. Only those who stood up and told their patients, their families, and the world the truth, letting the chips fall where they may. The inappropriate procedures implemented "were not illegal?" By and large, these were not "mistakes in judgment." As an attorney, I'd sure try to hold some of these doctors liable for knowingly contributing to patient deaths. And, yet, Trump, with no medical knowledge, is criticized for not having consulted with more doctors? It would have made 100 times more sense to expect that the doctors treating people with Covid would consult with each other. And, disappointingly, they probably did.

Well they were all listening to Cuomo.......how many ventilators did they need to save everyone? It was already decided before a doctor even had a patient.

Oh it was decided already. Hospital administrators were paid off for implementing thus decision.

As both a retired Anesthesia Professional and a retired Attorney who spent several years as both a "chart expert" and on tap to be the "expert witness" in Medical Mal-Practice cases involving other Anesthesia Professionals, I have a slightly different view.

Before expressing that view, let me say my Anesthesia Career included hospitals that were Major Medical Centers/Teaching Hospitals and some were small rural hospitals. Over the course of some 32 years in Anesthesia I preformed, easily, well over 50,000 Intubations in all settings, Surgery, Obstetrics, ICU's of all types including NICU and CCU. I taught intubation to Anesthesia Trainees, Respiratory Therapy trainees, EMT trainees and Medical Residents in more than one Medical Specialty. I held both Academia and Clinical positions in Post Graduate Institutions.

The Covid-19 Fiasco involved a depth of lying, control and outright intimidation of people never before seen on a world wide basis. The nearest previous attempts by size being the Nazi Experiments on Concentration Camp Prisoners.

We had Illegal and Unconstitutional Mandates from politicians who have no training and expertise in any area remotely related to Infectious disease and treatment. We had State Boards of Pharmacy threatening to remove the license of Pharmacists who filled a valid Prescription for drugs such as Ivermectin written by Physicians who had more knowledge and experience in treating Infectious diseases that the Board of Pharmacy members and the Pharmacists on the front lines.

We had demented People with the "right" degrees, such as Anthony Fauci, Deborah, Birks, and many others whose names you should know who were "bought and paid for" by subhuman individuals such as Bill and Melinda Gates to push what we now know was a bio-weapon in stead of a vaccine.

We had politicians at the State and Federal level who were enthralled by their "power" who starting a few decades ago passed laws that were in direct violation with existing International Codes effective in the US that gave Health Care Providers the belief that they were protected from "liability" even if they coerced patients to take something with out telling them the bio-weapon touted as a vaccine was under EUA (emergency use authorization) meaning it was an experimental drug still under investigation and International Law, valid in the US, said the fact it was EUA, still under investigation meant no one, regardless of their inflated opinion of them selves, could force (i.e. mandate) that any human being take the jab. That included politicians, as well as various Medically related professions.

We had State Medical Boards and National Medical Specialty Boards pull Medical Licenses and Medical Specialty Certification from those Physicians who were saving lives of patients because they understood what was needed to save lives.

Now in the aftermath of the Covid Carnage we quibble about "when is the best time to intubate a patient and place them on a ventilator"!

Where are the Attorneys who understand the Nuremberg Code and have the guts to start prosecuting the multiple "Crimes Against Humanity" perpetrated in the last 3 years?

I stand proudly with Drs. Pierre Kory, Paul Merrick, Robert Malone, and others I know and revere for them putting their license on the line.

It is time for the "real" Attorneys to step up to the plate and clean house on the Scientists, Physicians Pharmacists, Medical and Pharmacy State Board members and Medical Specialty Board Members who crossed the line and people died because of it.

If I was 20 years younger, I'd be in the midst of the battle fighting for the rights of US Citizen's to have Medical Care without non-doctors, Medical and Specialty Board Members and Pharmacy Board Members controlling Physician's Care of their patients.

As always, there are instances where there is Mal-practice that the Attorney side of me understands need to be handled. But in Covid-19 there was rampant Political, Pharmacutical as well as Medical Mal-Practice at the highest levels that needs to be taken care of NOW!

Thank you it is nice to know that the summer I spent in Advanced Legal Writing taught by a crusty old retired Court of Appeals Judge must have been worth it.

I agree. I personally know three doctors - not epidemiologists, virologists, or vaccinologists, but GPs or specialists in non-related fields - who advised me and my family, including my children, unconditionally to get the jab. Just get it they said. When I asked them specific questions about risk/reward or possible side effects, they could only assert that the trials proved the vaccine was safe and effective. I have no reason to think they knew more than I did! This was a kind of mania that swept over nearly everyone, including our trusted medical professionals.

Many doctors are not particularly good scientists.

# 1: The ACA Bill that had to be passed in order to find out what was in it, setup the foundation for these and many other protocols that the medical industrial complex uses to legally kill people with the assistance of the insurance companies.

# 2: Every practicing Doctor or Physician, takes a "Do No Harm," hippocratic oath, which is disregarded when it comes to many of the above in # 1, so the integruous ones become alternative health practicioners, being chased down and sued by the Medical Boards/Pharmu, and other gestapos/useful tools...

# 3: Due to the power of the fear and non-critical thinking propaganda, brainwashing, etc., the majority of the Health "Professionals" did not stand up in unified resistance, which was a critical fault of allowing the suppression of the Dr's like Pierre Kory and others from being able to get the word out and literally save lives - whether these "Professionals" were in fear for self-preservation of life-style, or really fell for the msm hype, comes in 2nd place to their broken oaths, both individually, and collectively, and there will be justice, someday...tick-tock!
