POSTED at William Makis, MD:
A bombshell study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, confirms ventilators killed more COVID-19 patients than the virus itself, triggering deadly bacterial pneumonia in ICU wards and vindicating conspiracy theorists who’ve been sounding the alarm for years.
The study, conducted by a team at Northwestern University, analyzed records from 585 ICU patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, including 190 with COVID-19, all battling severe pneumonia or respiratory failure. Using cutting-edge machine learning, researchers uncovered a pattern that shatters the official story.
Forget the hyped-up “cytokine storm”—the idea that COVID triggered a fatal inflammatory meltdown. That theory crumbled under scrutiny, with no evidence of multi-organ failure in the patients studied.
Instead, the real killer emerged: ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a bacterial infection sparked by the very machines meant to save lives.
