Contrary\u2062 to popular belief, it wasn&#8217;t the virus itself that proved fatal,\u2063 but rather secondary \u2063bacterial infections leading to a deadly form of pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s revelation aligns with a groundbreaking \u2064study that highlighted the role of bacterial lung infections in driving mortality rates among ventilated COVID-19 patients. The study, published in the \u200bJournal of\u200c Clinical Investigation,\u200b found that these infections were\u200c a key factor in the deaths\u200c of individuals connected to breathing machines.<\/p>\n<p>According \u200dto \u200dMusk, \u200da staggering \u206480\u200b percent of patients placed on ventilators met a tragic end. This statistic echoes data \u2063cited by\u200b Dr. Joseph Mercola, which\u200c revealed a mortality rate of\u2062 76.4 percent for COVID-19 patients aged 18 \u2063to \u200b65 in New York City who required \u200cventilator support. Among those\u200b over 65, the \u200crate skyrocketed \u200bto a\u200d chilling 97.2 percent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] md:float-left\" id=\"in_article_related_stories\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-3 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-4 sm:line-clamp-3\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/world\/72-percent-of-nzs-long-covid-sufferers-struggling-to-adjust-to-normal-life-5520842?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-sm sm:text-base\">72\u2063 Percent of NZ&#8217;s Long COVID Sufferers Struggling to Adjust to Normal Life<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">11\/1\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/world\/72-percent-of-nzs-long-covid-sufferers-struggling-to-adjust-to-normal-life-5520842?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">\n            <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" https:><\/source>\n            <\/picture>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-4 sm:line-clamp-3\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/article\/pfizer-reports-billions-in-losses-as-covid-vaccine-demand-wanes-5520356?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-sm sm:text-base\">Pfizer Reports Quarterly Loss as COVID Vaccine Demand Wanes<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">10\/31\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/article\/pfizer-reports-billions-in-losses-as-covid-vaccine-demand-wanes-5520356?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\">\n            <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" https:><\/source>\n            <\/picture>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Musk revealed that he consulted with multiple doctors to understand the mistakes made during the initial wave of COVID-19. Their consensus was \u200dthat\u200c too many individuals \u2064were placed on intubated ventilators, which actually caused lung damage rather than alleviating the effects of the virus. In Musk&#8217;s\u2062 words, &#8220;The cure is worse than \u2064the disease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-figure\" style=\"margin-left:0;margin-right:0;max-width:1200px\">\n<figure style=\"width:640px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto\" class=\"alignnone\"><figcaption>  Tesla and SpaceX \u2064CEO Elon\u200b Musk speaks at the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition in Washington on March 9, 2020.

The study revealed that bacterial \u200dlung infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), may have\u2063 surpassed \u200bCOVID-19 itself as the leading cause of death among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-hydroxychloroquine-can-boost-covid-19-survival-chances-by-nearly-200\/\" title=\"Study: hydroxychloroquine can boost COVID-19 survival chances by nearly 200%\">mechanically ventilated patients<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2>Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and COVID-19<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The \u200bstudy&#8217;s investigators discovered that nearly half of COVID-19 patients developed secondary \u2062ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia, also known as VAP. They noted that autopsy specimens \u200cfrom patients with\u200d acute SARS-CoV-2 \u2064infection showed high rates\u200b of pneumonia or diffuse alveolar damage, indicating the presence\u2064 of \u200dsecondary pneumonia. The study proposed\u2064 that unresolving VAP could contribute\u200d to the mortality of COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n<p>Out\u2063 of the 601 patients enrolled in \u2064the\u2063 study who required mechanical ventilation, 585 experienced severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. Among these cases,\u200d 190 \u2064were\u2064 attributed \u2062to COVID-19, 50 to \u2064pneumonia related to other viruses,\u200c 252 \u2062to bacterial pneumonia, and 93 to\u200d respiratory failure unrelated to\u2063 pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s senior \u2062author, Dr. Benjamin Singer, emphasized the significance of preventing and aggressively\u200c treating secondary bacterial pneumonia\u200b in critically ill patients with severe pneumonia, including those with COVID-19. He stressed the need for further research to\u2063 understand why some ventilated patients recover while others\u200c succumb to the \u200ddisease.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>Controversy Surrounding Ventilators\u2062 and COVID-19<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Upon the study&#8217;s release, misleading claims circulated, suggesting that ventilators were responsible for the majority \u2064of COVID-19 deaths in hospitals. Fact-checkers debunked these claims, clarifying that not \u2062all hospitalized COVID-19 patients were connected to breathing machines.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Singer, the study&#8217;s author, clarified that the ventilator\u200c itself was not the\u200d cause of death but rather serious lung infections,\u200c including those caused by COVID-19. Other medical\u200c professionals echoed this \u200csentiment, emphasizing that the ventilator&#8217;s failure \u200bto\u200c save patients was not the \u200dsame \u200cas\u200d causing their demise.<\/p>\n<p>However, the study did highlight the crucial role of ventilator-associated pneumonia in determining \u200dpatient outcomes. It revealed\u2062 that the successful treatment of VAP significantly impacted patients&#8217; chances of survival\u200d in the intensive care unit.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Richard Wunderink, a co-author of the \u200cstudy, emphasized\u2064 that the healthcare industry has overlooked the \u2064possibility of bacterial superinfections in ventilated \u200dCOVID-19 patients. He called for increased awareness and \u2063research to\u2063 address this blind spot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>Dr. Howard Stupak, an associate \u200cprofessor at the\u200c Albert \u200dEinstein College of\u2063 Medicine, took to X to share his \u2062thoughts on Musk&#8217;s \u200brevelation. He explained\u200b that it was not \u200bthe ventilators themselves that\u200d caused the patients&#8217; deaths, but rather the sedation \u2064used during intubation.\u2063 According \u2062to \u2064Dr. Stupak, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-says-people-were-killed-by-ventilators-not-covid-19-virus\/\" title=\"Elon Musk: Ventilators, Not COVID-19, Caused Deaths\">sedation reduced chest wall muscle movement<\/a> and led to \u200dfluid accumulation in the\u200b lungs, mimicking pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. \u2062Stupak further \u200bargued \u200bthat the rush\u2063 to sedate and intubate COVID-19 patients\u2063 stemmed from hospital staff&#8217;s panic \u200babout contagion. He claimed that mass \u200bsedation of the elderly was the primary approach,\u200c with ventilator \u2064and ICU \u2062mismanagement being secondary factors resulting from this \u2062initial response.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How have Pfizer&#8217;s financial losses\u2063 been impacted by\u2063 the decline in COVID\u200d vaccine demand?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  T-sm sm:text-base&#8221;>Pfizer Reports Billions\u200c in Losses as COVID \u2063Vaccine Demand Wanes<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">11\/1\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n<p>          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/article\/pfizer-reports-billions-in-losses-as-covid-vaccine-demand-wanes-5520356?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" https:><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture>\n<p>          <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-4 sm:line-clamp-3\">\n<p>            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/world\/brazil-suspends-use-of-covid-vaccine-after-teenagers-death-5520710?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-sm sm:text-base\">Brazil Suspends Use of COVID Vaccine After Teenager&#8217;s \u2063Death<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">11\/1\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[70px] sm:basis-[120px]\">\n<p>          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/world\/brazil-suspends-use-of-covid-vaccine-after-teenagers-death-5520710?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" https:><\/source><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" https:><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture>\n<p>          <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This shocking \u2063revelation \u2063has \u200dsignificant implications\u2064 for\u2063 the treatment of\u2062 COVID-19 \u2062patients and\u200c highlights the\u200b importance of addressing bacterial lung infections in conjunction with viral infections.\u2063 It underscores the need for a comprehensive approach to patient\u200d care that considers both viral and bacterial\u200b factors.<\/p>\n<p>Musk \u2064emphasized the \u2062importance\u2063 of proactive measures to \u2063prevent the \u2063development of these deadly secondary infections. He urged healthcare professionals to focus\u200d on\u200c improving air quality and ventilation in hospitals and nursing\u200b homes \u2064to reduce the risk of \u200cbacterial contamination.\u2064 Musk also suggested exploring alternatives to \u2062ventilators, which\u200b can introduce\u2062 bacteria into the\u200b lungs\u200d and potentially exacerbate the severity of infections.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 conversation\u200b with Musk has sparked a\u200c renewed discussion about the use of ventilators in treating COVID-19 patients. While ventilation \u200bremains a critical tool in managing severe cases, this revelation emphasizes the need\u200c for\u2062 caution and a more\u200d holistic approach to patient care.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Musk discussed the potential role \u200bof hyperbaric \u200coxygen therapy (HBOT) in treating COVID-19 patients. HBOT involves the administration of pure oxygen in a pressurized\u200b chamber, which can enhance the body&#8217;s healing process. Musk suggested that HBOT could potentially \u200calleviate the\u2064 need for ventilators and reduce\u2063 the risk of \u2064secondary infections.<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s revelation serves as a reminder\u2063 that our\u2063 understanding of COVID-19\u200b and\u2064 its treatment\u2062 is constantly evolving.\u2064 It calls for ongoing research and collaboration between medical professionals and technology innovators to\u2062 develop\u200b more effective and holistic approaches \u2062to patient care.<\/p>\n<p>As the world continues to grapple with\u2064 the COVID-19 pandemic, the \u2063insights provided by \u200dindividuals \u200clike\u200d Elon Musk \u2064are invaluable in shaping our response and improving outcomes for patients. By shedding light on \u200cthe\u2062 role\u200b of\u200b bacterial infections \u200din patient\u200b mortality, Musk has opened up important\u200d avenues for\u2064 further exploration and innovation \u200bin the\u2062 field of COVID-19 treatment.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that\u2062 the \u2062fight against\u2064 COVID-19 requires a multidisciplinary approach that considers not only the viral aspect but also the potential bacterial\u200b complications.
