‘Massive overuse of a treatment (ventilation) with no solid evidential basis, now known to be extremely harmful.’

Now known? At the time, I recall reading an article which reported critical care physicians and anæsthetists pointing out ventilation only functions to rest muscles of chest and diaphragm fatigued by rapid breathing in certain conditions or post-surgery, but is no use where lung tissue is damaged as in CoVid, as it cannot repair tissue damage, and since forced ventilation actually causes some lung tissue damage would exacerbate the situation and be contra-indicated for CoVid. It was also reported that the reason given for using ventilation on patients was to protect medical and nursing staff from virus exhaled to become airborne on the ward, so it was acknowledged it did not benefit patients and was used for staff protection. This was before the amazing new scientific discovery that SARS CoV 2, uniquely among respiratory virus, could only be spread in water droplets which fell to the ground in 1 metre or 2 metres or pick a distance.

Once again we have well known medical knowledge simply ignored as with every aspect of this sorry saga.

Denis Rancourt wrote about this back in June of 2020:

“All-cause mortality during COVID-19 - No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response”

“These “COVID peak” characteristics, and a review of the epidemiological history, and of relevant knowledge about viral respiratory diseases, lead me to postulate that the “COVID peak” results from an accelerated mass homicide of immune-vulnerable individuals, and individuals made more immune-vulnerable, by government and institutional actions, rather than being an epidemiological signature of a novel virus, irrespective of the degree to which the virus is novel from the perspective of viral speciation.”
