They shut down the NHS in the UK for months, to anything except covid. I have friends who still can't get an in person GP appointment (we're lucky, ours got a grip swiftly and I've never been hassled about not wearing a mask). Cue 70k excess deaths in the home 2020 onwards. Yet nobody seemed to be concerned at all. They still aren't.

Some of that may also be due to not wanting to have to wear a face diaper in a doctor’s office or hospital. Some of it may be a complete lack of trust of the medical establishment as a result of the past 2+ years. That’s my case. I’m actually quite scared to have to be hospitalized for anything down the road since I’m “unclean”.

I don’t go to the hospital because the combo of medical mistakes and illnesses obtained there, constitutes the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Just playing the odds.

There are plenty of examples around the world from when there was a hospital strike for sometimes a long period, and the result was that people got healthier and dies less.

This is totally plausible as hospitals (regardless of private or funded in other ways) profits from keeping people sick and dumb, but if people have to improve their health without the hospital and think for themselves...

Maybe if the hospitals weren't killing off the Covid patients with the CDC-approved "treatments," patients would return for elective surgeries and screenings. As it is, staying alive is inversely related to hospital visits.
