Nursing homes, Covid, and deaths from neglect?

Dr. C discusses the neglect/ overtreatment/ etc. that caused deaths of people in British nursing homes.

watch the video by Dr. C about the scandal in the UK, and then check the comments for anecdotes about other countries.

 In the UK, some nursing homes put people sick but not dying with covid on the end of life pathway. This is terminal sedation, which is supposed to be used for cancer patients with intractable pain who are also terminal, but awhile back in the UK they found a lot of non terminal elderly were dying because someone decided to sedate them until they died.

in other words, stealth euthanasia by medical personnel.

In the USA, what killed a lot of elders in nursing homes was the policy to put infectious patients into nursing homes.

I have written in the past how Dr Levine instructed the governor to send still infectious covid patients to be placed back into nursing homes, a policy that caused thousands of deaths in Pennsylvania. His/her reason was that this was mandated by Medicare regulations (which it was: I fought them over this policy years ago). and the bureaucrat in the office insisted that there was no danger because proper use of protective equipment would prevent the disease from spreading. So despite putting his mom into a hotel for safety, he insists that the covid in nursing homes came from staff, not from spread via other patients because the overworked and often poorly trained care givers didn't use the protective equipment properly.

But just the practice to isolate the elderly probably led to some giving up and dying, and lack of staffing meant often they didn't eat properly (my mom used to go to feed her sister in a nursing home, because the staff merely put the tray there and took it away if she didn't feed herself, but she would eat when my mom fed her).

Here, in the Philippines, I am not familiar with the problems in hospitalized patients, but the main problem was everyone was afraid to go to the hospital when they were sick, and we had many who died at home. Even last year, when I had collapsed at home with dengue, I was not allowed into the hospital until I tested negative for covid.  

I don't know how much is being investigate in the USA...

however,  Nurse Claire reported such things back in 2021 on that crazy Jeremiah AnnBarnhardt's podcast. Which is one reason one sometimes needs to pay attention to reports dismissed as conspiracy theories.

Indeed, right now I am listening to Senator Rand Paul's book on the coverup of Covid's origin: not that it came from a Chinese biolab but that the US government was giving them funding through a third party despite laws against gain of function research.

Lots of coverups going on: including bad information by government health officials (italics mine) to the presidents, to the congress, to the governors, etc. in the USA.

and now? lots of pushing of mRNA vaccine on kids who are at low risk, while the internet is full of anecdotal stories of sudden death from spike protein associated myocarditis or clots. Well, that's the way to make a lot of people refuse to get any shot, and so expect a lot of kids sick or dying of childhood diseases that could be stopped by routine shots that have been around for 30 or more years.

Why do I say that? because that is what we saw here in the Philippines after some kids died from the experimental Dengue vaccine.

Update via Instapundit:

Former nurse now linked to 17 nursing home deaths. ” A former Pennsylvania nurse who, in May, had been accused of killing two patients with doses of insulin now faces more murder charges and has confessed to trying to kill 19 additional people at several locations, authorities said Thursday. Heather Pressdee, 41, is accused of administering excessive amounts of insulin to patients in her care, some of whom were diabetic and required insulin, and some of whom were not, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.

one person commented

:One of the people she murdered was my neighbor. He was a good guy and had been sick for a while, but he was hanging in there and doing fairly well. Then she murdered him.

The worst kind of psychopath is the kind who believes they are "doing the right thing," and I think that's where this particular stain on humanity falls. If you think your countrymen can't be convinced to load you into the boxcars "for the greater good," remember this putrescent sack of guts and think again.

I hope she rots in Hell.

and alas as euthanasia is pushed more, we will seee more such deaths....
