You're all missing a rather serious implication here.

The fatality rate of Covid treatment with respirators was 85%.

How many tens of thousands of people were inadvertently executed by hospitals using respirators to completely blow out people's lungs?

It's one thing that really worried me. The hospital staff said that they had to "max out" the respirators to maximum air pressure to try and force air into the lungs of patients who were having trouble breathing, but Covid was making those alveoli's weak, causing them to burst. This is what lead to the reports of "pink bubbles" in the mouths of Covid patients. I remember Italy and Germany getting the alpha strain around the same time, and the Germans had far fewer fatalities than the Italians. The Italian doctors and hospitals actually argued publicly that Germany was fudging their own numbers to make the outbreak seem less bad than it was. But unlike the Italian hospitals, the Germans weren't flooding every single person into the hospital, and was only treating them with respirators if it was already absolutely necessary.

How many people were accidentally killed by respirators?

Then on top of that, how violently irresponsible was it for the media to scream about the dangers of HQC when Trump took it, when it was a viable alternative to the fucking respirators.

It's actually worse than what you're describing. The media published hitpieces against HCQ after an Arizona woman poisoned herself and killed her husband with fish tank cleaner. The media framed it as a couple who mistakenly confused fish tank cleaner with HCQ and poisoned themselves in an innocent mistake.

Not to mention the media and medical establishment did the same thing with ivermectin with the "horse dewormer" narrative.

I know it's worse, I was already mad and didn't want to make myself any more mad.

And yeah, not just "horse dewormer" nonsense. Ivermectine was banned as a word across social media, and journals actually removed published articles regarding ivermectine so no one in the scientific community could even cite why Ivermectine could work. On top of that, Merk never decided to take legal action against the defamation of their product.

No fucking amnesty.

There can be no fucking amnesty for these crimes.

How did the speculation turn out that she did that to kill her husband?

I can't find if she was ever arrested or not but apparently his toxicology report showed that she'd given him far more than the teaspoon she claimed. She also had been charged with assaulting him previously.

12% of the Italian deaths were found, on investigation, to have been from COVID as a primary cause.

The rest COVID was a complication to the actual cause of death.

For example: It turns out that if you have a chronic heart condition and kidney failure, then you are susceptible to viral infection.

HCQ was most effective as an early treatment. HCQ given with Zinc as a cofactor increased the survival rate by something like three times.

The thing is that it was fucking trivial to look at the demographics that were most at risk to death by COVID19. People who died (on average) were 81 and had three co-morbidities.

HCQ and Zinc could be given as a prophylactic to the highest risk demographics, with the doses increased at the first sign of infection. This would have been trivial to do. It still isn't being done.

Even if HCQ has been superseded by Ivermectin as a more effective treatment, it was definitively known in Feb 2021 that HCQ would be a lot better than nothing.

This is very clearly a better population wide care protocol than the clot-shots or shitty ICU "last gasp" respirator protocols.

And it was clear not by 2021, but by June of 2020.

One of the hosts of TMZ was ranting a bit about the injections, and his co-host interrupted him and told him "facts evolve". Truth doesn't evolve, narratives do. The "facts evolve" because you were fucking wrong. The decision to suspend HCQ because "Orange Man Bad", resulting in deaths, was and is indefensible.
