"Very early in this, I was listening to some doctors explain that the lung damage people were talking about with covid sounded a lot like what happened if you put someone on a ventilator for too long or with too much power.
At the time, I told Marian Dougherty that it sounded like the ventilators might be actually hurting patients more than helping, but of course not being a doctor, I couldn't really say much with any confidence.
But... Here we are now, and it seems like that gut feeling might have been right."
- Covid death rates dropped as doctors rejected ventilators
- Chances of dying in an intensive care unit fell in line with a decline in the use of mechanical ventilators
