The worst that a vent could do is cause a pneumothorax or result in hypertension being maintained, possibly too little FIO2 or Oxygen, but most critical Patients receive 100% O2, and the Oxygen can easily be adjusted by Nurses or Physicians as O2 Sats are routinely monitored. Those are not good things, but it is not the Ventilators themselves doing the damage. Rather incompetence of their maintenance which is extraordinarily rare. I have never even seen it and can scarcely imagine it occurring.
Medications however, kill people everyday.
I tend to agree with that. The vent is a "last resort" in the chain. Probably by the time it is used most of the damage is done.
Remdesivir is famous for it's toxicity to the renal system. But it is part of the "standard" CDC killer protocol of not giving early out-patient treatment but waiting until the disease is too far advanced before doing something useful. That plan usually ends in a trip to the ER which often leads to the ICU and death. It's the Remdesivir joined with the malignant CDC protocol that are the big problems.
These unnecessary deaths have been going on for two years now. One would think the medical industry would connect the dots by now. Or, better yet, read RFK's book on Fauci for the real "why". It's all about the $$$$.
