It’s amazing isn’t it? The promise of electronic records and healthcare data collection has always been that we would have lots of information to understand and make decisions. What happened in NYC underscores the farce of that whole paradigm. The data is out there, but it’s obviously being kept from the public. The word obfuscation comes to mind, but that’s probably too mild. Perhaps obstruction? No, I think if we’re frank, it reads more like criminal fraud and coverup.

Remember Dr. (& Minnesota State Senator) Scott Jensen on FOX News, on April 9th, 2020, about Hospital Medicare reimbursements during that time:
"Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you'll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000; three times as much.". Might there be a way of parsing out ventilator use data by the Medicare co-pays in these hospitals? Of course it would only be for over 65's, but it could be very helpful. Not sure how easy that info is to retrieve, but these are Federal payments, not local or state.
This is such an important story. ICAN’s attorney Aaron Siri has had tremendous success suing for data the government wants to hide. They (ICAN) might see a story like this outside their main focus but maybe not. They are self funded. I know CHD has funded the trial for Dr Meryl Nass. It just seems that there should be a way to force this data through the courts. It’s your story and I’m just trying to think of ways to fund a way to force the data out. Kirsch probably isn’t an option. Have you been interviewed or had interaction by any of those orgs?
Now this is some mature analysis. As usual, the data we need is not being made available. And, as far as I know, you are the only person in the world who is pointing this out.
In the future, we also need to have some trust-worthy "inbedded" reporters in these hospitals - especially since the loved ones of the patients couldn't see their loved ones.
This lack of information about ventilator use is a stark contrast to the fanfare for the emergency production of ventilators by GE, Tesla, etc. companies that spring.
You write “it’s hard to imagine indiscriminate use of ventilators” but in my personal experience, that’s exactly the case. 15 months ago my sister was in the icu with encephalitis. When we considered moving her from NJ to NY Presbyterian, their immediate response was, she will need to be intubated for the trip and remain intubated while in icu. She NEVER needed to be intubated. Needless to say, we kept her at the regional hospital in NJ rather than intubate and go to NY Pres. Anecdotal? Sure. Sample of one? Of course. But it goes to the mindset of doctors in NY. Not saying it happened for all Covid patients, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me.
Excellent article that needs much further research.. too bad so many researchers are still stuck on spike protein and long Covid. From personal experience, my Mom was admitted to hospital with “Covid” symptoms, yet it took the nurses 9 PCR tests to get it positive. At that point we knew it was all BS. They wanted to intubate her immediately and we not only refused every attempt, but had to threaten sticking out attorney on it for them to accept our decision. I’m convinced we saved her life. If only we’d known that 3 rounds of Remdesevir should’ve killed her, we’d have fought that battle much harder. Clearly there was a multitude of hospital protocols that contributed to ill health and death. And they locked the families out, to boot.
Anyone have data on number of burials/cremations in NYC for say first half of 2020 compared to previous 5 years?
Any gonzo journalists out there that will go into NYC with their camera and recording equipment to interview doctors/nurses/EMT's at say Elmhurst, Maimonides/NY Presbyterian on the details of their first hand experience during Spring 2020.
Might also be worth going into those neighborhoods and asking people on the street what exactly they were seeing as well as interviewing a variety of first responders.
Maybe you already know this too. I previously mentioned the Midazolam murders in care homes.
Maybe you know this as well: midazolam is used prior to ventilation. So if you wanted an excuse to jab people up with midazolam in a hospital setting, you'd need to invoke ventilation as a justification.
My article triggered one person who claims first hand knowledge of NYC ventilations, however they would not address my article directly and one of their lackeys desperately tried to hound me.
Pierre Kory.
He claims to have been at the NYC ICU in Spring 2020 - about your time period. If he's sincere about exposing government corruption, perhaps he might help you (although judging by how desperately he was trying to excuse the Midazolam murders, I strongly doubt it).
You can read my rebuttals to his articles here, and I would advise reading those before proceeding to read his appeals (there's two rebuttals because he rushed out two articles in response):
ICU specialists are *very* tetchy about Midazolam and the overuse of it. If you want an idea of drugs used in ICU, eyeball this article, which dissects one ICU specialist's photograph of the various drugs they use:
I just launched a “demonstration project” where, with the support of Substack readers, I hope to make history and show that Substack readers are not amused by the captured MSM … and they can and will support Substack authors. I appreciate all Substack reader who take the time to read my “Open Letter.” We’re all in this together. It’s Substack’s READERS who will ultimately determine how much influence Substack has in our battle against our captured elite institutions.
This feature article might be of interest to you, Jessica. It's my feature story about Tim McCain, who (my opinion) no doubt had Covid in December 2019 (as did his wife). Tim was hospitalized for 28 days in ICU, most of that time on a ventilator. Significantly, his wife got to visit him multiple times every day so she saw up-close the ordeal of a patient with life-threatening Covid. Brandie McCain is still unsure if the ventilator might have helped save her husband's life. She did tell me at the time that she worried about many people going on ventilators because she knew how closely these patients had to be monitored and that staff with great experience needed to be adjusting these devices.
She actually thinks the ECMO device probably saved her husband's life, not the ventilator. I wonder if you have any data on how many NYC patients were treated by ECMO. As I understand it, only a small percentage of hospitals have ECMO capability.
The picture with this story gives readers an idea of the horror of these medical situations.
Tim's case and treatment should have been studied around the world. Instead, the fact he was an early Covid patient was covered up.
Jessica I know you want to KNOW, and I sympathize with your position. WE should be able to get that information. Is there a FOIA process for individual states?
I will tell you something...it is not scientific or statistically sound, but given the "standard of care" came down on NYC even if not specifically in writing, most patients we know were ventilated because WHILE THEY NEVER ADMITTED IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS AEROSOLIZED. So they vented all the covid patients with low oxegyn to SAVE THEMSELVES....so unless I hear differently, every damn covid death in NYC between the 15th of March of 15th of April was iatrogenic because of the VENTS.
Authorities love electronic records. They can simply put numbers in a screen and people believe them.
Those of us who demand proof - as in vital records, which are not the same as medical records - and names are accused of being in a death cult.
I think the truth is, no one WANTS to open the closet and would, in fact, PREFER the door stay closed.

Thank you for communicating uncertainty and pursuing truth.

I think such footage would be quite revealing.
