Episode 9: The Epicenter Nurse - A Conversation with Erin Marie Olszewski

Nurse-turned-investigative journalist-Erin Marie Olszewski has been on the inside in two radically different settings these past few months. Two hospitals. One private, the other public. One in Florida, the other in New York.
And not just any New York public hospital, but the “epicenter of the epicenter” itself, the infamous Elmhurst in Donald Trump’s Queens. As a result of these diametrically opposed experiences, she has the ultimate “perspective on the pandemic”. She has been where there have been the most deaths attributed to Covid-19 and where there have been the least. Those who see and hear Erin’s astonishing report and her incredible undercover recordings will learn:
People who have tested negative multiple times for Covid-19 are being called “Covid confirmed” and are then put on ventilators.
Ventilators are likely the leading cause of death in the pandemic. Sedatives and paralytics combined with barro-trauma from pressurized air kill 90 percent of those vented at Elmhurst (and by extension, much of the world).
Nosocomial (in-hospital) infection is the main vector of transmission. At Elmhurst, “Covid Rule-Out” and “Covid Confirmed” are housed in the same rooms. PPE is not changed between patients. Rooms are not properly or even marginally cleaned after Covid deaths.
Isolated from family, patients at Elmhurst who do not have “Do Not Resuscitate” orders are being treated as though they did. Nurses were told not to perform CPR on at least one “full code” patient, in violation of their oaths and licenses.
Delayed treatment due to the government mandate to stay inside, and the government recommendation to not seek early outpatient help, combined with the restriction in New York and elsewhere on promising, even proven therapies during the early stages of illness, massively compounds the death rate.
Much of which points to what may be the real reason black and brown Americans seem to be disproportionately affected by Covid-19. They are likely not dying because of some alleged genetic predisposition or a peculiar array of Covi-combustible comorbidities.
But they are certainly dying from an underlying condition: a defunded, criminally negligent and corrupt hospital system, which during this crisis seems to take extra pains to do them in, and which may be financially incentivized to do so. (As of this writing, the producers are still awaiting word from the relevant authorities as to the exact amount of compensation paid per Covid diagnosed-and-vented patient).
Experimented on by unsupervised doctors-in-training, misdiagnosed and rushed on to ventilators based on edicts from anonymous supervisors, Elmhurst and other public hospital patients have not stood a chance. Perhaps with this video, some accounting can be made and real changes demanded.
But there is also extremely good news to be found here: no one, or almost no one, may need to die from Covid-19. What doctors and researchers all over the United States and the world have known for months has been confirmed once again by nurse Olszewski, and may finally be emerging from the political ghetto to which it was so oddly and so early relegated. Hydroxychloroquine and zinc and/or other therapies have been shown to work, especially when given early to those few people who actually develop symptoms of Covid-19.
What was once apparently the exclusive purvey of MAGA-hat-wearing-Trumpeters must now be made available to us all: a new study from Yale again confirms it, and the “study” which alleged that hydroxychloroquine was not only ineffective but deadly has been withdrawn from the Lancet amid what has to be one of the most bizarre scientific scandals in modern times. The company that produced the demonstrably fraudulent data that formed the basis of the Lancet paper listed among its board members an adult entertainer and a science-fiction writer.
Based on their disinformation, studies around the world were halted for weeks. Now free of the specter—or boogeyman—of harm, even the WHO has resumed research on this decades-old, amazingly inexpensive drug. (Youtube censors take note).
But though we at Perspectives are well and truly beyond the manufactured partisan divisions of our day, we must acknowledge that one’s odds of surviving Covid-19 in Red State America are demonstrably higher than among the Blues. It’s enough to give a progressive New York filmmaker thoughts of pulling up stakes. For when have they been much higher?
