I’ve read but don’t know if it’s true, that they intubated Covid patients not to help them but to prevent patients breathing their Covid germs into the room and on the staff.

I would absolutely believe that. I had to review an internal webinar for a major hospital where they discussed all the ways they were handling covid patients to reduce exposure. It was borderline inhumane. I kept reminding myself they were trying to keep staff safe, but good grief they work in a hospital. If you can’t be around sick people, what are you even doing??
And this gets to the heart of what it {used to} mean(s) to be a physician or other healer. Self-sacrifice. We willingly put ourselves in harms’ way sometimes, for the sake of our patients who have placed their very lives in our hands.
I was puzzled and even distressed early on when even the Christian healthcare folks and organizations (Christian Medical and Dental Association, for one) focused on fear rather than faithful compassionate service.
What?!
In pandemics past - REAL pandemics, like the bubonic plague and yellow fever - the Christians were known BECAUSE they courageously cared for the sick and dying even at great risk to their own well being.
The essence of the medical profession is service to others. Not preservation of self.
But I guess when folks no longer have a Christian worldview in which Jesus’ self-sacrifice is the model to follow, then, we end up with folks being motivated solely by self-preservation.
Intubation and ventilation kills in all kinds of ways. It's very difficult to wean people off ventilators. Medical staff know this which is why intubating so many people for Covid was very nearly criminal.
That was reported over a year ago. The report I read said that they intubated patients because the staff was terrified that they themselves would get infected. No wonder so many people died.
From what I understand, it was money. The hospital got a big fat bonus from the Feds every time they intubated someone and another big bonus every time the put someone on remdisivir. What corporate medical establishment can resist money in a world of ethically free wokeism?

I suppose you can't expect people to be Albert Schweitzer. But medicine is no longer a calling, it's just a job.
I thought you were gonna say "medicine is no longer a calling, it's a culling."
And intubation killed so many by damaging their kidneys, and who might have otherwise survived.
