The widespread and unprecedented initiation of mechanical ventilation early in the hospital course of Covid patients caused great harm. I am proud that I was able to block the practice at UW.
Thankyou for this article. I well recall a wonderful presentation of the success of Covid-19 early treatment in Honduras which included using high flow oxygen rather than ventilators. They started out as one of the hardest hit countries in the world, with extremely limited critical care physicians and almost no ICU facilities. The interviewer kept asking and asking, how did you pull it off to engage the entire country: As a I recall, Top justice of Supreme court, wife of the President and others in the cabinet were successfully treated leading to the government to get behind it. There were outsiders involved with their work, one may have been Peter McCullough. This was done in 2020.
I dragged my wife down to see this miracle. It made no impression. I have been following this for years and she went ahead and got 4 shots. So far I think she is OK, but I am worried that there will be serious adverse events. I also dragged her to watch the success story in Imperial Valley in CA - on border with Mexico and Arizona and at the time 7,000 Covid patients and none to the hospital. Now they are up to 20,000 and with early treatment, as I recall, none had long Covid.
What has been forgotten or perhaps never learned is that the practice of medicine is an art that uses science it is not straight forward like auto repair. In fine arts we are quite aware that everyone given the same box of art supplies and tools will not produce the same quality finished work. The skill of those holding the tools determines the outcome and no policy can change human ability.
Some doctors early on recommended the opposite of vents were needed. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers were needed instead and never supplied. Interns would have actually known this. All of these fake protocols were done to kill the patients on purpose.
My State, New Mexico had the last HBOT chamber for clinical use removed in 2016 in Albuquerque. University Hospital relegated theirs to only teaching instruction and to my knowledge never used it during this entire plandemic. ("Plandemic" attributed to a blurt in a press conference by Jan Psaki)
CARES Act. Sure "cared" for the $$$ going out the door. What was the cost of building an IMV in 2008 compared to the ones built in 2021? Every time the company making them was bought out and changed the prices skyrocketed. Guess who got the bulk of the manufacturing contracts for IMVs during the plandemic? Didn’t even have to pay Madison Avenue for an ad during the Superbowl.
FYI ... US hospitals were paid $13,000 for every ‘covid’ patient, with an additional $39,000 if they were put on a ventilator and a further $10,000 per ‘covid’ death. Autopsies were banned. Family members had to accept their loved ones had died from ‘covid’.
I believe it was also a 'liability free' environment (for the medical staff) due to a 'health emergency' being declared. I strongly recommend listening to the testimonies of nurses Erin Marie Olszewski and Nicole Sirotek, who both went to NYC at the height of the 'pandemic' to help out. Both are experienced nurses (ex military/ flight nurse) who were able to remain objective during all the drama.
They spent the first week or two sat in a 4 star hotel in Times Square being paid $10,000 a week to do nothing. Then they were allocated to a hospital. Nicole posted live video from her hospital in some low income neighbourhood. She described how they were basically just killing the patients. Students were 'practicing' their skills (intubation etc). Patients were drowning in their own blood after botched intubations or being hooked up to the wrong meds and killed that way. It was total chaos. Inexperienced nurses were in charge of 20 vents with no respiratory therapists. Nobody was feeding them. Nurses were being assigned to dead patients. Patients were lying in their own faeces.
She describes most of the patients walking into ER only had minor breathing difficulties from anxiety from all the fear mongering on TV. Some were put on a vent within 15 minutes of walking into the ER. They weren't even sick, just having mild panic attacks. Almost everybody who was put on a vent died. One survived because he (miraculously) woke up from the sedation and managed to pull the tube out and essentially break out of the hospital.
Erin was assigned to Elmhurst. Similar story. Those who tested 'negative' repeatedly were assigned 'covid positive' and put on vents. She was so horrified by what was happening that she contacted a lawyer and ended up secretly filming the hospital with spyglasses (it was made into a documentary and a book).
While a few select hospitals were admitting everybody and putting them on vents, the majority of hospitals (all over the world) were sitting empty. Hundreds of whistleblowers attest to this (as well as FOIA requests on patient admissions and hundreds of hours of video footage). Throughout 2020 the media only reported from outside of the 'death zone' hospitals like Elmhurst.
Your questions suggest you did not actually read my comment.
The accounts from nurses and other whistleblowers (as well as video footage, FOIA requests and the experiences of patients/ relatives themselves) are that most hospitals sat empty (or half empty) with whole wards shut down etc.
Meanwhile a few select hospital (such as Elmhurst in NYC) were accepting anyone and everyone, including people wandering in off the street with mild anxiety who were being put on vents within 15 minutes of walking into the ER. In cities like NY everyone was taken to just one or two hospitals, leaving the rest empty. The media focused all of their attention on those specific hospitals which were admitting everyone and anyone and putting them on vents for no reason.
In most towns, cities and rural areas all the hospitals were at severely reduced capacity. Many were like ghost towns. The accounts from nurses were consistent throughout 2020 and all over the world. I suggest studying their accounts to gain insights into what was actually happening.
For additional context here's what happened 11 years prior to 2020
Ventilators, used incorrectly, can and do damage healthy lung tissue. They can cause fibrosis and can blow people's lungs out when used at the wrong settings.
As I recall, more money was paid for covid patients the worse their condition, about $13K. At the same time, early treatment was supressed. I don't blame critical care doctors for "killing their patients." But one size doesn't fit all, and there are many, including hospital administrators who would not let doctors use off label treatments or try other methods, who are to blame for deaths.
Nothing like a person working on the dark side. It is not a "ridiculous comment" please read the outcome for the HBOT use at Winthrop Hospital clinical trial. You will find it at Underseas Hyperbaric Medicine. It's now being promoted for trial for "Long Covid"
I keep wondering how it was determined that oxygen was "profoundly low" and what this even means? Peter Doshi has pointed to this paper arguing that SpO2 < 93% is not uncommon, even though this is the threshold for FDA-defined severe COVID. https://doi.org/10.1111/jgs.12580
I'm talking about the practical side. What are the implications of 90% SpO2? How much variance is there between people and throughout the day? How reproducible are the measurements? It's like that criterion was pulled out of thin air by the FDA.
My wife (43 years old) was ill in November 2019 (we are in the UK) she had a really nasty cough for weeks (I mean relly nasty) ,and her blood oxygen was very low.
She had the symptoms of what they later called covid19.
Luckily she was not sent to the hospital as they may well have killed her with toxic antivirals and/or a ventilator.
For her the treatment was basically rest.
No one else in our household from children to elderly relatives got so much as the sniffles despite her coughing incessantly for weeks.
Having seen what modern medicine did from ventilators to vaccines we are resolved as a family to stay as far away from medics as we possibly can.
Inhaled Budesonide (as per Dr. Richard Bartlett) or similar would have helped your wife in no time. I have seen a 92-year old recover under such treatment - the cough was deadly.
My COPD causes me to live with 88-92% at rest and the need for O2 to keep sats up to walk. 'Course I live at 6500' altitude where most run at 96% normally. I do know my finger oximeter is not really equal to blood. I understand the the circulation has issues with Covid so finger measurements might be quite wrong. But I'm no expert.
I believe that the happy hypoxia observed was due to the COVID-19 virus impairing zeta potential and causing impaired microcirculation in the periphery (where pulse oxygenation is measured) but not in the central blood supply (which has larger blood vessels and is thus harder to obstruct with microclotting).
I was in the hospital for two months, 5 weeks on a vent. I was always attached to a pulse oximeter sensor on my finger. They put me on the vent when I couldn't keep my levels above 89% on high flow oxygen by the finger measurement (and I've since discovered my readings vary by which finger I'm using. I think it was pretty rare that they looked at my blood gas levels, i.e., only if they were taking blood for something else.
I think it has a lot to do with circulation. I think a fair number of people have less than optimal circulation in their extremities. In cold weather, your body keeps most of your blood closer to your core.
Michelle thanks for sharing your story. Am really sorry you went through all that. I’d read somewhere from someone 🫣🤪🥸that while the pulse sensor would measure O2 from fingers that this wasn’t truly representative of true O2 starvation or low arterial blood gas levels. That many people had had really low readings but some docs didn’t take that as an absolute and worked with other treatments to resolve the infection instead and when that resolved their breathing got better. I’m so out of my depth here, but it’s like how they were using the dialings on the PCR to get the results they “needed “....like finger sensors vs blood gases to sound official but in fact seemed to have kept their narrative going.
But Brava Michelle! 5 weeks on a vent sounds brutal-tells me how fundamentally strong and resilient you are! 💪🔥🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for your kind words Mads. It showed me how graciously God answers prayer. I had quite a few people praying for me, even a few I've never even met. It's really humbling in a good way to think about that many people praying for me. I do think you are onto something with using the measurement tools that give them the results to support their narrative.
I thought your explanation for what is referred to as “happy hypoxia” was brilliant and plausible. But I am merely an internist. I would love to hear Dr. Kory’s comments on it. Your piece is well worth everyone’s time, in my opinion, certainly it was worth mine.
Me and AMD have two different insight into what caused "happy hypoxia." I believe we are both correct as multiple mechanisms underlie Covid-19 disease. There is extensive evidence that the majority of Covid-19 in its early phase is an "organizing pneumonia", what we used to call BOOP. My paper supporting this fact is here: https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/7/1/e000724.long
Microwave radiation from wireless devices (cell phones, wifi, smart meters etc) causes red blood cell coagulation (rouleux), bottle cap cells and generally sticky blood. This is why so many people now experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness and brain fog around wireless devices. There are many published studies showing live blood analysis before and after exposure to wireless devices and of course anybody with a light microscope can conduct their own studies. Even a 5 minute exposure can cause a significant degradation of the blood.
So many children are now getting sick from wifi in classrooms that it's now being removed from schools in many countries. France has actually outlawed wifi in primary schools. A recent tribunal in the UK ordered a school to remove wifi so a student could return to the classroom after missing school for a year due to an intolerance to the school wifi. The ruling was precedent setting so I think we can expect more and more public spaces to ban wireless pollution (either voluntarily or due to legal action) as more and more people get sick from it.
The official health 'guidelines' are based on thermal effects only. Based on this criteria microwaves could turn your blood into sticky toffee and still be deemed 'safe' as long as your body temperature does not increase by 1 degree over a 6 minute time period. Obviously the guidelines are a complete sham.
Another common effect of wifi is heart palpitations and arrhythmias. Again, there are blinded studies you can find where sensitive people's hearts go crazy every time a wifi router is brought near their body.
Non of this should be surprising. Our bodies are electrical in nature. Ambient microwaves are converted to electrical currents when they hit the body (we act like antennas), which create voltages a thousand times higher than the natural voltages flowing through our body. We are in effect being tasered whenever we are around microwave pollution, which is now 24/7 for most people.
Heart arrhythmias, sticky blood, low O2, skin rashes, fizzy or 'electric' skin sensations, blood clotting especially in the extremities, eye damage, neurological symptoms, brain fog, extreme fatigue, persistent flu-like symptoms ... these are all well established symptoms of microwave radiation poisoning. All of these symptoms were being reported routinely by 'electro sensitive' people prior to 2019. And all of these symptoms have been rebranded as covid/ long covid since 2020.
As the amount of wireless infrastructure and devices increases, and therefore the intensity of microwave pollution increases, expect to see a lot more of these types of symptoms (and more acute cases too).
As with tobacco, microwave pollution will continue to be deemed perfectly safe (even by doctors) right up until the moment that we all agree it isn't.
To New Health Paradigm: I hope you have a copy of this information about wireless infrastructure handy so you can repost anytime you get the chance. The following is scary stuff but may be informative.
Aman Jabbi - The Final Lockdown - Street Lights That KILL in Smart Cities, CBDC, Digital ID.
Thanks for link. Will watch later (I skim watched it). I don't doubt the new 5G street lights are toxic and full of all sorts of Orwellian features.
But for most people that sort of information is too much of a leap, and Maria Zee is a bit too much 'fear porn' for people who are used to watching the TV. I generally prefer to stick to the basics .... how ordinary wifi destroys the blood etc. Anyone can prove this with a light microscope and a wifi router.
But yeah, it's all nasty tech with nasty agendas behind it. It's so ridiculously (almost farcically) anti-human it makes you wonder who (or what?!) is really behind it...

Dr Kory, did you have any experience with doctor's wanting patients ventilated because 'ventilated patients don't cough'?
I have heard part of the justification for ventilation was to prevent spread of covid, which if true, erodes any trust I had in the medical establishment even further.
Unfortunately this was an issue - not so much about the coughing per se.. but patients on ventilators cannot infect those around them as the airway becomes a closed circuit and any exhaled breath passes first through a high grade filter before entering the room. In the beginning, they actually limited and even forbade the use of HHFNC because some thought that it presented an excessive risk of infection to health care workers... I had much less success arguing against that reasoning at the time but fortunately, there was very quickly a much more liberal use of HHFNC's
Oh they tried for sure to limit Covid patients to negative pressure rooms initially.. but there were so few compared to the amount of patients. Clever engineering solutions were employed by numerous hospitals to create negative pressure "units" however
Thank you for the insider's feedback! I'm not sure why the media and hospital admin didn't mention this much to the public. Additionally, the feds planned for plenty of money for vents and vaxxes but dedicated little for increasing the number of negative pressure rooms/units.
Excellent info, thanks again for all you have done and continue to do. Perhaps a bit of a tangent, but have you witnessed many cases (COVID and non-COVID) where some doctors said a patient was impossible to wean off the ventilator and would have to be ventilator-dependent for the rest of their lives (if they live), but since their families persisted and didn't give up, the patients were in fact able to successfully wean very gradually- and fully breathing on their own a few weeks after leaving the hospital? I have seen this multiple times, so was just wondering.
Absolutely some of those severe lung injuries would and do improve over time - the main reason I found for the prolonged recovery times was via the insufficient use of corticosteroids - those patients would have improved faster if the doctors had done prolonged use of corticosteroids, not this 10 days only of dexamethasone nonsense - that is why why many patients did not recover IMO
Thanks for your response. A truly tragic scenario, apparently too common, is when some doctors (after not providing optimal treatment in the first place) hastily and often incorrectly told patients' families that they will never come off the ventilator- and especially at such a vulnerable time, the families took this as gospel truth and prematurely agreed to withdraw care resulting in the patient's (likely unnecessary) death. This brings up another point: how common is true long-term failure to wean off the ventilator? Like among those patients whose families steadfastly refused to withdraw care even against strong recommendations, how common are "failures" such as the patient still being on a ventilator 1 year later? My guess is that such failures are quite uncommon even among such "doomed to failure" patients, but I could be wrong.
Very interesting! I am also curious about your thoughts in using oxygen level as the sole metric to decide when to give corticosteroids. I am coming from personal experience with covid pneumonia. For five days I could only take in very small breaths, my pulse oximeter reading would drop to 84% on slight exertion (like going to the restroom) but I was not given dexamethasone because my reading stayed around 96% at rest. I ended up taking quinine at home, which seemed to give me dramatic improvement. (Yes, I know that is anecdotal.)
I totally agree with you - I would have started prednisone on anyone with shortness of breath after 5 days or if there were any episodes of low oxygen. This rigid adherence to "rules" and protocols" is not doctoring - they forget medicine is as much an art as it is science..
What a wonderful and informative article. Learned so much and I'm always grateful to have more knowledge on a subject. Especially anything medical. I do wish more medical personnel would just take the time to look, really look, at the patient before making any decision whether it be a procedure or a medication.
Thank you for all your work. Also, the "horses again" gave me a little giggle.
I remember reading about the hypoxia on Facebook, if you can believe that! There was a Dr on arguing against the automatic ventilation of Covid patients because they came in resembling high altitude sickness. So to me it sounded like the RBC’s were not oxygenated fully. I am not a Dr by any means, just a retired veterinary technician that put stuff together.
When they stated the official protocol was around 6mg. of a corticosteroid per day, even I knew that was not enough to make a dent. A 100 pound dog would get between 20-40mg.
Thank you for your relentless pursuit of the truth. I’m not Vx and neither is my family. We have our own supply of IVM and HCQ along with Z packs and Prednisone.
They tried to put my 67yo husband on a vent in May 21’ after a week of him being unable to keep his oxygen up with the nasty alpha variant at home. If only they had prescribed him some steroids he probably could have avoided the hospital. It was very surprising how it kicked his ass, as he works out regularly, literally never gets sick, and we took all the recommended supplements. He was however on lisinopril for highish BP. I’ve read it increases ace2 receptors? Maybe that’s why? We tried ivermectin for a week but in hind sight should have continued longer. Once we ran out, that’s when he went downhill. I argued with one of his many attending physicians the second day he was there, and said over my dead body will you vent him! I didn’t however know about Remdezavir. And he was on that for five days. Amazingly he’s doing great now almost two years later. And we had omicron in Jan 22’ and it was a cold with a 4 day headache. Not even a sniffle since, 14 mos later. Hoping natural immunity will continue but have ivermectin on hand just in case.
It is good to read an article written by a doctor who actually uses critical thinking. I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do to inform, treat, and protect others. Thank you, Dr. Kory. You and your family are in my prayers.
I was one of those "happy hypoxic" patients. I was 49 at the time, and it's a miracle I survived. I was hospitalized for covid Dec. '21. After being in the hospital for 1 week, my oxygen saturation monitor was alarming for dropping to 89 more often than they liked, so they decided to put me on a BIPAP. After about 10 minutes, they decided that was a failure, and decided to intubate me. I did not want to be intubated. Never once, in all of that, did I have trouble doing the work of breathing. I ended up having a tracheostomy a couple weeks later, but only after they convinced my husband to sign a DNR for me (they told him if they had to try to resuscitate me, they would break my ribs, puncture my heart, and I'd be a vegetable if I survived). I ended up being on a ventilator for 35 days. My muscles had atrophied and I had to relearn how to write and walk. I spent a total of 2 months in the hospital. I was also lucky all the LTACs were full. Because of that, I was able to go directly home, where I'm sure I recovered much faster. It is over a year later, and I still require supplemental oxygen while sleeping and with exertion. I have gotten to where I can mosey slowly around the house without the supplemental oxygen, and my saturation stays above 90 if I don't get too wild. When sitting, my sat is usually 95-98%. I'm angry about what was done to me and how it has changed my life and the lives of my husband and children. But I'm blessed to be alive still with them. I almost wasn't.
Dr. Kory, do you think there's much chance I'll ever be able to totally be off oxygen?
I absolutely hate so say this because it seems like I am trying to promote my private practice, but you need to see me or my partner. I do believe we can help you. drpierrekory.com
Dr. Kory, though I can imagine their are critical and nasty about you recommending your own practice, but I don’t think people that are suffering from these long haul symptoms fully understand the benefits that you all can provide them. Every time I hear someone speak of suffering caused by the virus I ask if they’ve seen someone such as yourself. Thank you for what you’ve done.
I'd actually thought about trying to see you remotely some time back, but it looked like it was limited to early treatment/prevention/long haul/vaccine injury. I wasn't sure if you could see me remotely for my condition, even though I know you are a lung specialist. Which type of appointment should I sign up for?
I’ve been waiting for a post on the subject, thank you, Dr. Kory! Oh, how many countless lives you saved by blocking the use ventilators for Covid treatment! I wish every Covid patient who walked through the doors of that hospital (and other institutions that followed your recommendation ), would read this and acknowledge your wisdom and heroism!
Thankyou for this article. I well recall a wonderful presentation of the success of Covid-19 early treatment in Honduras which included using high flow oxygen rather than ventilators.

Yes, that's why we can't get a good reading with cold fingers.

They put me on the vent when I couldn't keep my levels above 89% on high flow oxygen by the finger measurement (and I've since discovered my readings vary by which finger I'm using. I think it was pretty rare that they looked at my blood gas levels, i.e., only if they were taking blood for something else.
Few know fingers seem to matter. Don't know why.
I think it has a lot to do with circulation. I think a fair number of people have less than optimal circulation in their extremities. In cold weather, your body keeps most of your blood closer to your core.
Michelle thanks for sharing your story. Am really sorry you went through all that. I’d read somewhere from someone 🫣🤪🥸that while the pulse sensor would measure O2 from fingers that this wasn’t truly representative of true O2 starvation or low arterial blood gas levels. That many people had had really low readings but some docs didn’t take that as an absolute and worked with other treatments to resolve the infection instead and when that resolved their breathing got better. I’m so out of my depth here, but it’s like how they were using the dialings on the PCR to get the results they “needed “....like finger sensors vs blood gases to sound official but in fact seemed to have kept their narrative going.
But Brava Michelle! 5 weeks on a vent sounds brutal-tells me how fundamentally strong and resilient you are! 💪🔥🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for your kind words Mads. It showed me how graciously God answers prayer. I had quite a few people praying for me, even a few I've never even met. It's really humbling in a good way to think about that many people praying for me. I do think you are onto something with using the measurement tools that give them the results to support their narrative.
I thought your explanation for what is referred to as “happy hypoxia” was brilliant and plausible. But I am merely an internist. I would love to hear Dr. Kory’s comments on it. Your piece is well worth everyone’s time, in my opinion, certainly it was worth mine.
Me and AMD have two different insight into what caused "happy hypoxia." I believe we are both correct as multiple mechanisms underlie Covid-19 disease. There is extensive evidence that the majority of Covid-19 in its early phase is an "organizing pneumonia", what we used to call BOOP. My paper supporting this fact is here: https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/7/1/e000724.long
Microwave radiation from wireless devices (cell phones, wifi, smart meters etc) causes red blood cell coagulation (rouleux), bottle cap cells and generally sticky blood. This is why so many people now experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness and brain fog around wireless devices. There are many published studies showing live blood analysis before and after exposure to wireless devices and of course anybody with a light microscope can conduct their own studies. Even a 5 minute exposure can cause a significant degradation of the blood.
So many children are now getting sick from wifi in classrooms that it's now being removed from schools in many countries. France has actually outlawed wifi in primary schools. A recent tribunal in the UK ordered a school to remove wifi so a student could return to the classroom after missing school for a year due to an intolerance to the school wifi. The ruling was precedent setting so I think we can expect more and more public spaces to ban wireless pollution (either voluntarily or due to legal action) as more and more people get sick from it.
The official health 'guidelines' are based on thermal effects only. Based on this criteria microwaves could turn your blood into sticky toffee and still be deemed 'safe' as long as your body temperature does not increase by 1 degree over a 6 minute time period. Obviously the guidelines are a complete sham.
Another common effect of wifi is heart palpitations and arrhythmias. Again, there are blinded studies you can find where sensitive people's hearts go crazy every time a wifi router is brought near their body.
Non of this should be surprising. Our bodies are electrical in nature. Ambient microwaves are converted to electrical currents when they hit the body (we act like antennas), which create voltages a thousand times higher than the natural voltages flowing through our body. We are in effect being tasered whenever we are around microwave pollution, which is now 24/7 for most people.
Heart arrhythmias, sticky blood, low O2, skin rashes, fizzy or 'electric' skin sensations, blood clotting especially in the extremities, eye damage, neurological symptoms, brain fog, extreme fatigue, persistent flu-like symptoms ... these are all well established symptoms of microwave radiation poisoning. All of these symptoms were being reported routinely by 'electro sensitive' people prior to 2019. And all of these symptoms have been rebranded as covid/ long covid since 2020.
As the amount of wireless infrastructure and devices increases, and therefore the intensity of microwave pollution increases, expect to see a lot more of these types of symptoms (and more acute cases too).
As with tobacco, microwave pollution will continue to be deemed perfectly safe (even by doctors) right up until the moment that we all agree it isn't.
To New Health Paradigm: I hope you have a copy of this information about wireless infrastructure handy so you can repost anytime you get the chance. The following is scary stuff but may be informative.

Thanks for link. Will watch later (I skim watched it). I don't doubt the new 5G street lights are toxic and full of all sorts of Orwellian features.
But for most people that sort of information is too much of a leap, and Maria Zee is a bit too much 'fear porn' for people who are used to watching the TV. I generally prefer to stick to the basics .... how ordinary wifi destroys the blood etc. Anyone can prove this with a light microscope and a wifi router.
But yeah, it's all nasty tech with nasty agendas behind it. It's so ridiculously (almost farcically) anti-human it makes you wonder who (or what?!) is really behind it...
Simple info for simple people, in a nutshell. I fancy handing it out as a card instead of having a conversation. https://mega.nz/file/9kgXyIbY#AmRykmU_5vv9VtZ411NtGFE5zENUPLiF_PIZRVcw0qA

Thanks for your viewpoint. I fully understand about it being too much of a leap. Speaking face to face to educate someone takes your way of doing it!

Quite an amazing paper. Thanks. First time I've seen reviewers commentary and responses included.
Dr Kory, did you have any experience with doctor's wanting patients ventilated because 'ventilated patients don't cough'?
I have heard part of the justification for ventilation was to prevent spread of covid, which if true, erodes any trust I had in the medical establishment even further.
Unfortunately this was an issue - not so much about the coughing per se.. but patients on ventilators cannot infect those around them as the airway becomes a closed circuit and any exhaled breath passes first through a high grade filter before entering the room. In the beginning, they actually limited and even forbade the use of HHFNC because some thought that it presented an excessive risk of infection to health care workers... I had much less success arguing against that reasoning at the time but fortunately, there was very quickly a much more liberal use of HHFNC's
It's curious that negative pressure rooms didn't get more attention as a tool to reduce respiratory contagion as done for TB patients.
Oh they tried for sure to limit Covid patients to negative pressure rooms initially.. but there were so few compared to the amount of patients. Clever engineering solutions were employed by numerous hospitals to create negative pressure "units" however
Thank you for the insider's feedback! I'm not sure why the media and hospital admin didn't mention this much to the public. Additionally, the feds planned for plenty of money for vents and vaxxes but dedicated little for increasing the number of negative pressure rooms/units.
Excellent info, thanks again for all you have done and continue to do. Perhaps a bit of a tangent, but have you witnessed many cases (COVID and non-COVID) where some doctors said a patient was impossible to wean off the ventilator and would have to be ventilator-dependent for the rest of their lives (if they live), but since their families persisted and didn't give up, the patients were in fact able to successfully wean very gradually- and fully breathing on their own a few weeks after leaving the hospital? I have seen this multiple times, so was just wondering.
Absolutely some of those severe lung injuries would and do improve over time - the main reason I found for the prolonged recovery times was via the insufficient use of corticosteroids - those patients would have improved faster if the doctors had done prolonged use of corticosteroids, not this 10 days only of dexamethasone nonsense - that is why why many patients did not recover IMO
Thanks for your response. A truly tragic scenario, apparently too common, is when some doctors (after not providing optimal treatment in the first place) hastily and often incorrectly told patients' families that they will never come off the ventilator- and especially at such a vulnerable time, the families took this as gospel truth and prematurely agreed to withdraw care resulting in the patient's (likely unnecessary) death. This brings up another point: how common is true long-term failure to wean off the ventilator? Like among those patients whose families steadfastly refused to withdraw care even against strong recommendations, how common are "failures" such as the patient still being on a ventilator 1 year later? My guess is that such failures are quite uncommon even among such "doomed to failure" patients, but I could be wrong.
It's all about freemasons infiltrating all levels of power: they want to reduce the population (us, not them)

Very interesting! I am also curious about your thoughts in using oxygen level as the sole metric to decide when to give corticosteroids. I am coming from personal experience with covid pneumonia. For five days I could only take in very small breaths, my pulse oximeter reading would drop to 84% on slight exertion (like going to the restroom) but I was not given dexamethasone because my reading stayed around 96% at rest. I ended up taking quinine at home, which seemed to give me dramatic improvement. (Yes, I know that is anecdotal.)
I totally agree with you - I would have started prednisone on anyone with shortness of breath after 5 days or if there were any episodes of low oxygen. This rigid adherence to "rules" and protocols" is not doctoring - they forget medicine is as much an art as it is science..
What a wonderful and informative article. Learned so much and I'm always grateful to have more knowledge on a subject. Especially anything medical. I do wish more medical personnel would just take the time to look, really look, at the patient before making any decision whether it be a procedure or a medication.
Thank you for all your work. Also, the "horses again" gave me a little giggle.
Amen.
Dr. Kory you have ethics, morals and use the brain God gave you. Your opponents contrarily had an agenda.
I remember reading about the hypoxia on Facebook, if you can believe that! There was a Dr on arguing against the automatic ventilation of Covid patients because they came in resembling high altitude sickness. So to me it sounded like the RBC’s were not oxygenated fully. I am not a Dr by any means, just a retired veterinary technician that put stuff together.
When they stated the official protocol was around 6mg. of a corticosteroid per day, even I knew that was not enough to make a dent. A 100 pound dog would get between 20-40mg.
Thank you for your relentless pursuit of the truth. I’m not Vx and neither is my family. We have our own supply of IVM and HCQ along with Z packs and Prednisone.
Outstanding Dr Kory! You are a true hero of these past few years! Thank you and God bless.
They tried to put my 67yo husband on a vent in May 21’ after a week of him being unable to keep his oxygen up with the nasty alpha variant at home. If only they had prescribed him some steroids he probably could have avoided the hospital. It was very surprising how it kicked his ass, as he works out regularly, literally never gets sick, and we took all the recommended supplements. He was however on lisinopril for highish BP. I’ve read it increases ace2 receptors? Maybe that’s why? We tried ivermectin for a week but in hind sight should have continued longer. Once we ran out, that’s when he went downhill. I argued with one of his many attending physicians the second day he was there, and said over my dead body will you vent him! I didn’t however know about Remdezavir. And he was on that for five days. Amazingly he’s doing great now almost two years later. And we had omicron in Jan 22’ and it was a cold with a 4 day headache. Not even a sniffle since, 14 mos later. Hoping natural immunity will continue but have ivermectin on hand just in case.
It is good to read an article written by a doctor who actually uses critical thinking. I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do to inform, treat, and protect others. Thank you, Dr. Kory. You and your family are in my prayers.
I was one of those "happy hypoxic" patients. I was 49 at the time, and it's a miracle I survived. I was hospitalized for covid Dec. '21. After being in the hospital for 1 week, my oxygen saturation monitor was alarming for dropping to 89 more often than they liked, so they decided to put me on a BIPAP. After about 10 minutes, they decided that was a failure, and decided to intubate me. I did not want to be intubated. Never once, in all of that, did I have trouble doing the work of breathing. I ended up having a tracheostomy a couple weeks later, but only after they convinced my husband to sign a DNR for me (they told him if they had to try to resuscitate me, they would break my ribs, puncture my heart, and I'd be a vegetable if I survived). I ended up being on a ventilator for 35 days. My muscles had atrophied and I had to relearn how to write and walk. I spent a total of 2 months in the hospital. I was also lucky all the LTACs were full. Because of that, I was able to go directly home, where I'm sure I recovered much faster. It is over a year later, and I still require supplemental oxygen while sleeping and with exertion. I have gotten to where I can mosey slowly around the house without the supplemental oxygen, and my saturation stays above 90 if I don't get too wild. When sitting, my sat is usually 95-98%. I'm angry about what was done to me and how it has changed my life and the lives of my husband and children. But I'm blessed to be alive still with them. I almost wasn't.
Dr. Kory, do you think there's much chance I'll ever be able to totally be off oxygen?
I absolutely hate so say this because it seems like I am trying to promote my private practice, but you need to see me or my partner. I do believe we can help you. drpierrekory.com
Dr. Kory, though I can imagine their are critical and nasty about you recommending your own practice, but I don’t think people that are suffering from these long haul symptoms fully understand the benefits that you all can provide them. Every time I hear someone speak of suffering caused by the virus I ask if they’ve seen someone such as yourself. Thank you for what you’ve done.
I'd actually thought about trying to see you remotely some time back, but it looked like it was limited to early treatment/prevention/long haul/vaccine injury. I wasn't sure if you could see me remotely for my condition, even though I know you are a lung specialist. Which type of appointment should I sign up for?
Sign up for long haul, you will join a cohort of my patients whose "long haul" consists largely of persistent pulmonary disease
I'm officially on your waitlist. Thank you Dr. Kory!
I’ve been waiting for a post on the subject, thank you, Dr. Kory! Oh, how many countless lives you saved by blocking the use ventilators for Covid treatment! I wish every Covid patient who walked through the doors of that hospital (and other institutions that followed your recommendation ), would read this and acknowledge your wisdom and heroism!
Doc, Great read for the non professional . Thank you
