Because of Unnecessary Sedation and Intubation? Tue Dec 22, 2020 There will at some point be a reckoning, if only historical, for the horrifying mishandling of the pandemic, not by President Trump, as the media insists, but by the experts.

The aim was to save the seriously ill and protect hospital staff from Covid-19.
