Michigan doctor said 6 out of 8 patients who questioned his medical advice on COVID-19 have died

A Michigan pulmonologist recounted interactions with eight patients who were severely suffering from COVID-19 while they ignored the reality of the virus in a Facebook post.

On Friday, Dr. Matthew Trunsky, the director of the palliative care unit at a Beaumont Health network hospital in Troy, Michigan, told The Washington Post six of those eight patients have since died.

In his September 11 Facebook post, Trunsky said some of the patients denied having the virus, requested unproven and unapproved treatments like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, or even said: "I'd rather die than take the vaccine."

In my last two days of work I have heard the following:
1) “you’re wrong doctor. I’m too healthy. I don’t have Covid. I’m fine.” (In reality, he’s fighting for his life).
2) “I demand ivermectin or you’ll hear from my lawyer.”
3) “I demand hydroxychloroquine.”
4) “I don’t care what you say. I’m going to leave.”...

Usually along the lines of “well, one less car on the freeway,” although these days it’s more like “one less trump voter, maybe?”

They were offered medical advice by a doctor in charge of the entire department and decided instead to go with nonsense spewed by right wing radio.

This was the obvious result.

if they're not going to listen to their doctors and ignore modern medicine because they read some nonsense online from their idiot friends.

then they'll make videos of their pets jumping through TP obstacle courses since they have way more than they would ever need.

the entire planet it is. It is better that as many as possible die now, versus them living and aiding the sides of darkness in the coming kinetic civil war. If enough die, perhaps that might prevent the kinetic civil war, and reduce it to a limited IRA-style terror campaign, although those numbers (10's of millions) needed are basically impossible to achieve with COVID in its current form.

None of this is hyperbole. It is a clear, rational, multivariate future forward analysis of the current systemic metatrends in play. It is also devoid of normalcy bias, a constant problem in any American drive to battle internal RW enemies. The RW has far less normalcy bias. They already see anything opposing them as requiring eradication, not just in terms of temporal existence, but erasure on a historical/metaphysical level as well.

Some fanboys pitched a fit because Bats didn't throw his own life away in a futile attempt to save the man who was actively trying to carve him like a turkey and wipe out an entire city. You cannot help the ones who refuse to be helped, the ones who would kill you for trying.

not have imagined what they became as part of the RW mob or that it would kill them too. Many are leaving children, and unborn babies die with their mothers.

You'd rather die than get vaccinated? Your proposal is accepted.
