The facts and the fury

Sat Apr 27 2024

Blazing Reader,

Andrew Bridgen's damning speech in the UK parliament did not focus exclusively on excess deaths from vaccines, but gave ample attention to the mass murder of the elderly in nursing homes early on in the scamdemic:

"Giving midazolam and morphine to people dying of cancer is reasonable," said Bridgen, "but there is a side effect, which is that those drugs have a respiratory depressant effect. It is hard to imagine a more stupid thing to do than giving a respiratory suppressant to someone who is already struggling to breathe with the symptoms of COVID-19, but that is exactly what we did."

I depicted this in Much Ado About Corona, "Chapter 63: The Facts and The Fury" — when Vince confronts the head nurse at his grandfather's nursing home:

----

“Did you give him a sedative, as well as the morphine?”

“You can’t be in here.”

“Being drugged isn’t the same as sleeping. And sedatives can kill. Just like morphine. Lungs get so relaxed they can’t breathe.”

“I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you. But… privacy rules. Your father—”

“Doesn’t care about him,” I interrupted. “He doesn’t care if Grandad dies.”

Claudia inhaled and exhaled, causing her mask to drop below her nose. “No one lives forever, you know.”

“I know that! It’s you people who’ve forgotten. Locking him up like a POW to protect him from the inevitable.”

Her eyes narrowed.

“Hey,” she said weakly, pulling her mask back up over her nose. “I don’t make the rules.”

“No, you just execute them. Like you execute your patients.”

She jerked, crossed her arms as if she was hugging herself, and whimpered slightly.

“Did you give him the morphine injection?” I asked.

“I, I was—”

“Just obeying orders.”

“He has COVID. The doctor didn’t want him to suffer.”

“COVID! COVID! COVID!” I exclaimed. “I’m so sick of hearing about COVID. What is COVID, anyway? Some code word for euthanizing the sick and elderly?”
