Examples of Euthanasia Propaganda

Spring 2020 focus

“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

Starting a page for examples of what I'm calling “euthanasia propaganda,” with a focus on spring 2020. These are essays, press releases, statements from consulting firms, videos, and other media which were used to normalize methodical means of ending life in medical settings during the spring of 2020, under the auspices of a treating disease or controlling disease transmission/spread.

Themes/Patterns

• Separating patients from loved ones is hard but necessary.

• Healthcare workers must make sacrifices/risk their own health

• Patients can’t breathe and are in need of oxygen and/or intubation.

• Use of militarized language: dispatch, frontline, surge, protective goggles, mask.

• Tone is foreboding, resigned, heavy/burdened
