Thousands of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 died because of a rush to put people on ventilators — while denying them medications like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and vitamin D, according to respiratory therapist Mark Bishofsky.
A respiratory therapist is a healthcare provider who helps diagnose, treat and manage conditions that affect the lungs, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
They are the clinicians who perform intubation — inserting a tube through a person’s mouth or nose, then down into their airway — so the patient can receive oxygen from a ventilator machine.
In a recent episode of “Good Morning CHD,” Bishofsky said he witnessed hospital staff opting to prematurely intubate many COVID-19 patients.
He said:
“Many, many thousands of patients died because of this rush to early intubation and not allowing early treatment with medications like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine or even vitamin D — they wouldn’t even give these patients vitamin D. They just wanted to intubate them and put them on remdesivir.”
Patients were being intubated “when they were needing as little as three liters of oxygen,” according to Bishofsky, who said he’d never seen that before in his 25 years of practice.
“That’s so little oxygen to the point where if you took the patient off of it, they’re gonna be fine,” he said. “But there was this rush to intubate these patients.”
‘Intubation should be a last resort’
Bishofsky tried to convince doctors that “this wasn’t the right thing to do.” He explained:
“When I started my career in 1999 I went to … a huge symposium talking about the risks of intubation — the risks of using a ventilator — and even back then it was known that intubation should be a last resort.
“At that time, they were reporting a 25% increase in mortality of patients that were getting intubated and put on a ventilator. And now we know during COVID it was upwards of 80 to 85% of people that were on ventilators passed away.”
Ventilators are “one of the most important life-saving tools we have,” Bishofsky said, but they are also “extremely dangerous” because they typically cause bacterial pneumonia.
Doctors told Bishofsky it was simply the hospital’s protocol. “They didn’t really have an explanation. … They were spewing mainstream media talking points.”
Bishofsky — who ended up resigning when the COVID-19 vaccine mandates came out — said early on he tried convincing doctors to give hydroxychloroquine...
