Mechanical ventilation is not a treatment for respiratory infection, and quite often makes the situation worse.<\/p>\n<p>Deliberate, institutional misuse of mechanical ventilation probably killed huge numbers of patients during the so-called \u201cfirst wave\u201d. We cover this in great detail in our <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2023\/03\/24\/40-facts-you-need-to-know-the-real-story-of-covid\/#v\">\u201c40 Facts\u201d covid cribsheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably enough, though, mainstream talking heads are not ready to admit this, and the Northwestern paper has produced a wave of somewhat fevered revisionism among the dwindling covidiot class.<\/p>\n<p>See, for example, this tweet from \u201cDr Craig Spencer\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You know why we intubated people for Covid in March 2020?<\/p>\n<p>Because otherwise they were going to die.
