You reading the latest studies on ventilator roles? And now you only need one mRNA shot after all. Time to roll back policies and then claim it was a ‘choice’.
FFS, if you are sick enough and hypoxic enough that you're going to be put on a ventilator and (yes) potentially acquire secondary bacterial pneumonia, you're at death's door no matter what you do - true of COVID, true of influenza. However, you're not going to convalesce at home when your pulse ox level is 60% without oxygen supplementation. That's true of pretty much anything in terms of hospital care. You can have a stroke and die of a central line associated bloodstream infection because of the care required which means putting a catheter through your blood vessels to end near your heart. You can have surgery to remove a tumor, but get a surgical site infection.
Statistically, treatments dramatically improve your odds, so people get them, but obviously they incur risk.
PS, in early pandemic, these were patients who were so freaking sick while proned on their stomachs, nurses could barely turn them over to perform a bed bath without spending hours trying to re-stabilize their oxygen levels. Yes, hours, I'm not kidding.
They also then got central line associated bloodstream infections at higher rates (levels rose during the pandemic likely related to the surge of COVID patients) because the care was so difficult for central line access - if the central line could only be placed into a femoral artery because the arm placements failed, but the patient was proned on their belly, it was VERY difficult to keep the site clean.
If your interpretation of the ventilator study is that COVID was no big deal and the patients died not because of COVID, you really need to think through what you're saying.

84% of the people no little confidence in the court. I just do not think people will continue to abide by the fiat of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court does not have the authority to rule this country.
The Supreme Court does not rule the country. They are the court of last resort on weigh in on the constitutionality of laws based on specific cases brought before them.
The 84% with little or no confidence is due to a fundamental lack of understanding of how a constitutional republic functions. That is what spells trouble for America in the year's ahead, not the 9 justices on the court.

So what is your point? Maybe those patients should have been given bleach to drink? This is one of two things the republicans were pushing. The other being covid is no big deal…it’s like the flu.

It astounds me how lucky some of these fools must be, to think COVID was no big deal. I lost friends and relatives to it. I know people who are suffering horrible long term issues form it. My cousin, a mom in her 40s, was hospitalized for months, part of it in a coma, on one of the few ECMO machines the state even had. Even today, 2 years later, she still struggles with her recovery and says he has the "upper body strength of a 4 year old." Anyone who think COVID was no big deal must be living in a complete bubble of isolation from reality.

COVID patients were NOT put on vents to prevent spread to health care workers. Absolutely f-ing not. They were put on vents because they couldn't keep them oxygenated, they would arrive "happy hypoxics" and had incredibly low oxygen! There was definitely some over ventilation in the first month till there was learning that being a bit gentler with heated high flow nasal cannulas worked better. COVID patients had such wet lungs, secondary bacterial pneumonia is a risk no matter what.
PS simply intubating a patient TO put them on a vent is an aerosol generating procedure, so nobody was protecting healthcare workers to intubate them!
