Deaths of abandoned elderly people, wrongly attributed to covid
In the spring of 2020, a higher spike in deaths than the average for other years was reported over the same period - although the annual death toll in Canada has not significantly increased - attributing the cause of these deaths to covid-19 . Most of the people said to have died "due" to covid during the spring of 2020 were of advanced age (on average 86 years, or above the Canadian death average) and were living in residences. The "wave" of deaths then served as support for the "health" measures of the government, both Canadian and Quebec, which could therefore claim to try to protect its (elderly) population from the dangers of the Chinese virus. However, as the growing body of evidence points to other causes of death among residents of these nursing homes,
In The Globe and Mail , it is reported that the Coroner of Quebec, as part of his investigation into the deaths that occurred in the spring of 2020 in residences, held a hearing last Tuesday, receiving heavy and tragic testimony from a nursing assistant of the Herron residence.
The newspaper reports that the covid was used as a pretext to cover up the terrible abandonment suffered by residents in March 2020:
Covid-19 has been repeatedly cited as the cause of death at the Herron Nursing Home to mask the fact that dozens of elderly residents have died of thirst, malnutrition and neglect, it was learned on Tuesday during an investigation by the Coroner of Quebec.
In a moving testimony, a nursing assistant recalled that the establishment located in the west of the island of Montreal was already poorly managed before the crisis, that most of its employees abandoned their positions during the coronavirus outbreak. , and that the local health authority then took over in an authoritarian and ineffective manner.
She described the discussions over whether to sort residents so that those who were dying were not fed.

The nursing assistant - whose name was silenced by prescription - recounts how she found herself overnight, on March 29, alone with two orderlies to take care of sixty residents, the rest of the staff - in apart from a few members of the kitchen - not having returned to work following the announcement, the day before, that one of the residents "positive for covid" had died ... At that moment, then, there was a movement of panic fueled by the media and the government, so much so that the staff of several nursing homes for the elderly left their posts, leaving the residents to an abominable fate rather than risk contracting the "deadly" virus. The Globe and Mail reports:
Athanasios Pappas, the first resident to test positive for the virus, died on March 27, 2020. The next day, said the nursing assistant, one of the workers at the home came to his floor "in panic" and said that the virus was in the building. “I felt that everyone working had the right to know that the virus was in the building. So I called everyone at the nursing station and let them know, and this group of nursing aides left in droves, ”the nursing assistant said.
She tried, unsuccessfully, to dissuade them from leaving, she said. That afternoon, she walked home a caregiver who told her, "I don't think I'll be back tomorrow".
When she arrived at work on March 29, most of the staff were missing. The registered nurses left early. One of them said she had a fever. Another was told by officials to go for a test because she had cared for a patient who turned out to be infected.
The nursing assistant said she and two orderlies had to look after a floor of 60 residents. While distributing the drugs, she also had to help the caregivers. “I helped with the food, I helped serve the trays, I helped wash people. I was running around like crazy ”.
At one point, the situation was such that a discussion arose between the owner of the residence, Mrs Chowieri, and the nursing assistant over whether to feed only the residents who were still healthy - while continuing to hydrate others - to prevent all residents from dying.
It should also be remembered that the members of the families of the residents had been banned from visiting by the Government of Quebec as of March 13, which meant that the elderly found themselves even more abandoned, and did not allow the families to leave. notice the alarming situation of their loved one, nor help with their needs.
When the first deaths occurred, the nursing assistant had to fill out the papers herself indicating the causes of death of the deceased person, which she had never done before, with the covid as a possible cause indicated:
The cause of death was indicated as possibly the new disease. Everyone was "suspected of covid-19",
regardless of the symptoms they had, "she testified.
In the remainder of The Globe and Mail article, many details are reported - highlighting the horror of the situation and the absurdity of attributing to covid the cause of death at this residence - which I invite you to read.
How, in the face of these revelations, then not suspect that such a situation did not occur simultaneously in residences other than those under investigation by the Coroner - because of their appalling situation - even in a lesser extent ? Other factors must be taken into account when considering the protocol recommended by the Quebec health system for the management of people known as having covid. A nurse at the Sainte-Dorothée nursing home recently reported that she had been ordered to give morphine from ativan to residents "suffering" from covid, when it is dangerous to give these products to people. having breathing problems, as those sick with covid are assumed to be.
How can the government continue to impose all these “sanitary” measures when the very foundation
of its official reasons for acting is so undermined?
