Ezekiel Emanuel
Presumptive US president-elect Joe Biden’s pandemic advisory team includes oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel, who famously argued life should end at 75. Given Covid-19’s risk profile –and Biden’s own age– the choice has raised eyebrows.
Biden’s team unveiled a 13-person expert advisory panel focused on managing the Covid-19 epidemic on Monday, in keeping with the campaign’s efforts to present Biden as the champion of science and reason. One of the panel’s goals, according to a statement from Biden, is “protecting at-risk populations” – the elderly, the sick, and those with multiple comorbidities.
But Emanuel is perhaps best known for supporting a limit on human life expectancy of 75 – an age, it’s hard not to notice, that coincides with a steep observed uptick in vulnerability to and risk of dying from the novel coronavirus. In a 2014 article for the Atlantic, the University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist argued the US shouldn’t worry that its population’s average life expectancy is among the lowest in the developed world, because living too long was just as bad as dying prematurely.
He was also one of the chief architects of the 2010 Affordable Care Act’s “death panels” – an ethical framework for rationing healthcare based on the age, fitness, and presumed future productive capacity of the patient. Emanuel has argued for decades that the young should be given priority in healthcare over the old, an argument he carried into this year’s coronavirus pandemic – and which has made itself felt in troubling ways both in the US and abroad as some hospitals sneaked ‘do not resuscitate’ orders into the folders of some of their most vulnerable patients.
Emanuel also stands accused of profiting off the confusing pandemic guidance implemented under the Trump administration, which shied away from blanket restrictions, leaving space for states to pass their own patchwork of regulations. As a consultant at COVID-19 RECoVERY Consulting, he is paid to decipher “confusing” science and offer guidance to businesses petrified of running afoul of rules that often come with fines or steep penalties attached.

If he is inaugurated, Biden will be the oldest president in American history at 77 years old. His detractors might argue he proves Emanuel’s points about late-life mental and physical decline – the medical ethicist lamented that those who stick around past their sell-by date are often remembered as “feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.” And certainly, the doctor’s descriptions of septuagenarian decline seem written with the US’ bumper crop of superannuated politicians in mind. “Age associated declines in mental-processing speed, working and long-term memory, and problem-solving are well established. Conversely, distractibility increases…We literally lose our creativity.”
“Dying at 75 will not be a tragedy.”

But given that Emanuel’s thesis for much of his work has been that living “too long” isn’t just harmful to the individual or even to the family, but to society at large – because finite health resources are being spent to keep aging ‘useless eaters’ on life support rather than curing the diseases of the young – some are alarmed at his return to making US healthcare policy.
In the Atlantic piece, Emanuel quotes a century-old medical textbook that deemed pneumonia “the friend of the aged” because it allows the elderly to gracefully shuffle off this mortal coil with an “acute, short, not often painful illness” rather than “those ‘cold gradations of decay’ so distressing” to friends and family – a description which could have been written about Covid-19. The pandemic roared through East Coast nursing homes “like fire through dry grass” in the words of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose policies forcing nursing homes to readmit patients without testing them for the virus led to sky-high death rates among the elderly. But most of its victims died relatively quickly, especially compared to the drawn-out agony of cancer or Alzheimer’s dementia, both of which have devastated or killed far more Americans than the coronavirus.
Ironically, Emanuel’s brother Rahm is the former Chicago mayor who infamously advised politicians should “never let a crisis go to waste.” In the first two months of the pandemic, nursing homes accounted for nearly half of all Covid-19 deaths.
Emanuel is far from the only controversial figure on Biden’s coronavirus panel, however. Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm has almost gleefully warned Americans to “get ready” for a national lockdown and a hefty case surge during the inevitable “dark winter” predicted by Biden and his campaign. Obama’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is also on the team, as is Rick Bright, the former Trump administration whistleblower who claims he quit the Department of Health and Human Services over its supposedly-unscientific promotion of hydroxychloroquine, an off-patent malaria drug approved as emergency treatment for Covid-19 in many countries outside the US.
WE have had Euthanasia in the UK
it was called the liverpool care pathway
i went to see a 68 year old relative in his hospital bed he said he had not bed fed in 3 days and drank the water out of his flower vase
A freind who is ex military went to see an aged VC winner from w w 2 he stunk
he had shit the bed 3 days back and it had not been changed, no food or drink, i went and got him some food from the canteen
i thought this man did heroic deeds for the criminl governmet who calld for the war
and was left like this, while walking home the shock wore off and i burst ito tears
i ama 57 year old man Since then i have found the people being kileld off are our people white christian English people
by our own government
Keep saying it, Logans Run 1976. Lots of metaphors for today’s tyranny. Why 75? Why not 50, or 30 as in the movie?
So – Rahm Emanuel has yet another brother. His other brother Ari is (or was) Alex Jones’ Agent. Mum and Dad were Ergun Terrorists in Palestine in the 1940’s, before Israel was created in 1948. The Apples never fall far . . .
Once euthanasia becomes acceptable our humanity is finished. They’ve tried hard to bring it in as a right for the ill or manically depressed etc; but the right to die will soon become the responsibility to die, especially if you’re old, poor, and infirm. Or wealthy, and have an estate of some value and your money-grubbing kids can’t wait to sell it.
Look at the founder of the World Economic Forum aka Davos, Klaus Schwab. Born in Germany in 1938 I would not be surprised in the least if he was a product of the Nazi project Lebensborn, where German maidens were mated with SS soldiers to propagate Aryan children. Many were adopted so parentage isn’t necessarily that on a birth certificate, and even if he’s not Lebensborn his philosophy and authoritarian tendencies are all rather Nazi. And where did he get he get the money to do all this?
Hospital tests for British subjects in their own country are increasingly not available for over pensionable age and the age is coming down
Dr. Emanuel stated his case for why he hoped to die at 75 years of age, but why wait until then, doctor? Perhaps Dr. Emanuel could REALLY find satisfaction if he were cut down even sooner, like today for instance. Some service minded, good hearted person may want to help Emanuel with that, post haste. Do his satanic brother the same service as Rahm should really be paid for his efforts. Those sniveling, evil f*cking kikes.
Anyone and everyone on the Covid “advisory team” who doesn’t immediately admit the whole thing has been a massive crime against humanity and recommend the immediate lifting of any and all restrictions and “guidelines” needs to be dragged through the streets, publicly humiliated, horse-whipped, rolled in pig vomit, and hanged.
Don’t worry, deranged perverted Jews are dedicated to ensuring that the goyim live long healthy happy lives…
Lets go and get them put them on trial and lock them up forever, but the means to do this is not a few thousand but many, many thousands if not millions then you make a statement.
We have to have humanity back on an even keel we have to have the cycles of life back as it was meant to be and do away with these soul sellers who want to harvest our souls to keep us enslaved. We have to take ourselves out of their grasp and we should start with our births certificates and the number on it and the contract that binds us to it and which enslaves us for we are owned from the moment we take our first breath. We are all so much more enlightened now so their is no need to allow this to go on. They know we know what their end game is but the one thing that stops us from taking back control of our souls is the divide amongst us and that is what these soul sellers rely on, and its working very well in their favor at the moment.
Let’s face the obvious, nothing will change in terms of what entities control the U.S., until supremacist Jews are completely removed from positions of power and influence, not only in the USA, but the entire western world. Jews pop up everywhere in positions of power; they are close to where the money is, the banks, and only deal with their own tribe, ensuring the safe transfer of power to their kin. They have incredible influence in the corrupt media thereby choosing leaders answerable only to them. They routinely lie about WW2 to the tune of six million. They promote cultural Marxism to the goyim through their media and educational control.
@ seemore butt
You have to wonder how deliberate the deaths of all the old folks were in places like North Italy, NYC and Quebec when in May they knew better and were still clustering them together in wards and care homes with the bug.
Perhaps it time for people over 50 to fight back, to band together in some way to fix things. If they are planning to knock us off anyway then we have nothing to lose or to fear.
