Among the more heinous lies spread by the fake expert doctors of disinformation is that hospitals made a fortune on COVID.
One very prominent fake expert got a lot of exposure claiming hospitals dissuaded treatment with Hydroxychoroquine and Ivermectin because they wanted people to get sick and fill empty beds.
That lie has been repeated ad infinitum to the point that a significant percentage of the mislead public believes it.
The truth is hospitals got clobbered. We were overflowing with critically sick patients and losing doctors and nurses to COVID, until the vaccines became available. At least then the blood bath of dying doctors and nurses stopped but we continued to be overwhelmed by mostly unvaccinated patients who were dying.
Yes Medicare did increase reimbursement some but it was hardly enough to make up for the losses. Having so many patients in ICU on ventilators and ECMO is o expensive hospitals lost enormous amounts of money on each case.
We also had to hire temporary staff to help handle care for all the super sick patients.
The reality is hospitals got killed financially. Anyone who suggests otherwise is wrong. But then what do you expect? The fake experts who made those outrageous claims haven't seen the inside of hospital since medical school forty years ago.
The attached article confirms these losses. Healthcares leading high quality system, Kaiser Permanente. posted a $4.5B loss last year. They are not alone. Most hospitals got clobbered by the pandemic.
So when you hear a fake expert with no postgraduate training or hospital experience suggesting COVID was a windfall, you know they don't have a clue.
That's what they get for mismanagement and firing personnel for becoming lab rats for a maiming and lethal clot shot. What did they expect when they let a quarter of their workforce go for making the right personal health decision. And regarding "unvaccinated deaths" from Covid. ALL of them are "unvaccinated," even after the clot shots came out because they're not vaccines; they're failed gene therapy.
