> If you come down with a 'breakthrough' case of COVID-19, don't let the doctors ventilate you…
> I heard recently of a friend's 70-yo neighbor who tested positive for COVID-19. She tried to sit it out for two weeks at home, deteriorated, went to a hospital in the big city, got ventilated, died.
If this doesn’t illustrate how conspiracy theories invert cause and effect, I don’t know what does. As an analogy:
Motor vehicle accident victims who present to the ED with the most severe injuries are most likely to die.
Motor vehicle accident victims who present to the ED with the most severe injuries are also the most likely to go right into emergency surgery.
Only someone bereft of common sense and reason would conclude that the solution is to warn everyone to never let trauma surgeons operate on you.
