Care home deaths

Lies and secrets

L
We had the same or even worse situation in Swedish care homes where they even refused oxygen to the vulnerable elderlies having problems breathing. . . oxygen was a too complicated and possibly dangerous procedure to be trusted to the care home nurses.

C
My 94yr old nan was hospitalised. She’d also tested positive but wasn’t too poorly - no breathing issues just temperature- I spoke to her by phone and she was distressed and felt alone with no visitors allowed in hospital. So they sedated her and put her in end of life plan!

She died several days later - I was allowed to visit at the end, she was unconscious, breathing fine but with no intervention she was allowed to dehydrate to death.

She didn’t die of Covid she died of a policy of euthanasia. She was always afraid of hospitals as she believed they took away your control and were places to die… I’d tried to persuade her they were there to look after you and make you better - but in the end very sadly she was right.

I’m shocked and disillusioned by all this too John

Care homes in Scotland

Shelagh McCall KC, representing bereaved relatives

Residents may have been “neglected and left to starve”

Blanket ban on visitors

Phone calls “went unanswered over days and sometimes weeks”

Relatives, treated “with disdain” questions “fobbed off”

Families told relatives were fine “only to get a sudden hurried phone call that they were dying”

Relatives reported, “a significant deterioration of their loved ones’ physical and mental health”

“was nothing to do with Covid 19”

“some suspect that their loved one was suffering from neglect, dehydration and starvation”

“That residents may have been neglected and left to starve, that families are not sure they were told the truth about their relative’s cause of death, that the usual process for the certification of death was departed from.”

“We anticipate that the inquiry will hear that people were pressured to agree to sign do not resuscitate notices, and that people were not resuscitated even though no such notice was in place,”

Ms McCall, inquiry must investigate potential violations of Article 3, Human Rights Act prohibiting “torture, inhuman and degrading treatment”.

“Relatives will speak of their loved ones lacking food, water, and hygiene. That there was inappropriate, inadequate, absent or delayed medical attention,”

My dad with Alzheimer's was diagnosed with "covid" in 2020 while in a care home. A few weeks later I was allowed to see him as they said he was not eating.

When I saw him he looked like a human skeleton. He was shut in his room without food or water(Liverpool Pathway), and while I was there he had a ten second phone consultation with a GP, when a" care "worker pointed her mobile phone at my dad.

"He looks happy enough!" was the GP's verdict! My dad died a couple of days later; I call it murder!

V
I kept my 80 yo parents isolated in their homes until omicron dominated. They took vitamin D,C and zinc. They were not vaccinated. Their inevitable illness then was mild.

Medical records “missing or incomplete” for fatalities

Residents, forced into agreeing to do not resuscitate plans

Evidence would “point to a systemic failure of the model of care”.

Scottish Covid Bereaved

Discharging untested hospital patients into care homes,

“ultimately a death sentence for the elderly”

March, April and May 2020

113 hospital patients, tested positive, transferred to care

3,061 transferred from hospital to care homes without beige tested

Covid allowed to enter care homes “spread like wildfire”

T
The same thing happened in Ontario, Canada. People stood spending hours outside of their loved one's windows of the care homes. Helplessly saying things like, "I love you and even final goodbyes through the glass to their elderly, helpless parents. Beyond disgusting.

Lord Stevens, led NHS England until 2021

Matt Hancock,

wanted to decide “who should live and who should die” if hospitals became overwhelmed

“The secretary of state for health and social care took the position that in this situation he – rather than, say, the medical profession or the public – should ultimately decide who should live and who should die.

Fortunately, this horrible dilemma never crystallised.”

“I felt that we are well served by the medical profession, in consultation with patients to the greatest extent possible, in making those kinds of decisions.”

This is a crime against humanity and the people responsible should be in jail. Thank you for continuing to expose the truth, Dr. John.

There was a woman who worked as a senior staff member who monitored care homes, she was a whistle blower who spoke out many many times about the people who were dying in care homes because they were put on the end of life pathway when they were not sick and apart from being old were not terminally ill. She also told how huge doeses of midazolam was given often along with morphine which lead to respiratory distress and hurried along death. These old people were in a defenceless and vulnerable position, they were murdered. Matt Hancock is now known as midazolam Matt as it was he who gave the order to exterminate these old people. Genocide was committed on the elderly and those complicit are all guilty of murder. Three years worth of midazolam used in just under four months in british care homes in early 2020.

To be fair, I'm shocked so many medical professionals went along with all this!!!

[jaynemurray]

My 86 year old father had a fall in January 2023. He had covid but was breathing well, just weak. He was taken to hospital in N. Ireland. I was aware of the rumours about elderly so I fought with doctors at A&E when they insisted on end of life and DNR. I told them I knew what they were doing and would never stop until they were exposed. They were not happy. We managed to gain access snd were very vigilant on his meds and treatment, much to the annoyance of nurses. Thankfully he survived and is home now and thriving. People need to fight for the truth.

My 92 year old father who lived at home by himself felt bad so I took him to the ER. They diagnosed him with dehydration but wanted to keep him overnight due to age. I told him I would take him home the next day. They did a covid test and was positive (he had no covid symptoms) so they sent him to another hospital in another town that kept covid patients. They tried remdesivir but kidneys wouldn’t tolerate. I begged them to try ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine but they said there were no studies. He developed pneumonia from laying in bed…and died about 10 days after my taking him to the initial er visit. I feel they murdered him. I couldn’t visit him in the hospital. As a pharmacist, I feel he was not treated right and the unfeeling medical professionals were chilling. I have lost faith in the medical world.

I took my mom out of a care home when she started digressing from lack of human contact. She came to live with me for her last two years of life. It was the best decision hubby and I made during the pandemic. No shots and she lived to 94. 😊

[tonimuller]

My dad had always said he would live to be 100, and I am certain that the lockdowns kept him from reaching that milestone. He made it to 97.5, but the lockdown kept him from his daily walks so that he lost stamina, balance and strength. Not to mention the psychological affects of not being able to spend time in close proximity, with touch and hugs. When he was finally let out again, he could barely walk 100 feet (he used to walk a mile at a time). I love you, Daddy, and miss you so much. I'm so sorry we won't be able to celebrate your 100th together.

[drironmom]

Completely unacceptable. A dear friend, in his 70’s, had early MILD - dementia. He enjoyed walking around his neighborhood, and it was thought he might get exposed to covid on his walks outside, as he kept forgetting about the lockdowns and kept going outdoors for his walks. So he was put into a care facility “for his safety” He was there only weeks before he died off dehydration, alone and not understanding why no one would visit him. Unforgivable.

[sandyharman]

John, from the US, we have a group called America’s front line nurses. They helped families get their loved ones out of care facilities. Please consider inviting the leader on for an interview

[parentingskills]

My mother was in a care home with dementia. In early January 2021 during lockdown, we were called to say she had tested positive for 'covid'. The only contact we had with her was on FaceTime and on each call, she seemed fine. On January 14th, a week after the ‘covid’ diagnosis, I made a call to the care home in the morning to see how she was and was told by the Clinical Nurse Lead that she was ‘alert and responsive’, which sounded positive.

At around 6pm that day however, we received another call to say she had deteriorated and was being put on end-of-life drugs. After weeks of not being allowed in, I was finally allowed in to see her while they were killing her. On the morning she died two days later, even though I was in the care home, they prevented me from being with her until she was dead. Her medical records show timings of my call on January 14th, when I was told she was ‘alert and responsive’, coincided with a call to the GP ordering death row drug Midazolam and Oxycodone. ‘The Plan’ had been put into operation, without being seen by a doctor, and she had been involuntarily euthanised. I have now started legal proceedings against the care home.

Funeral directors knew what was happening at the time but could not speak out, one who did was John O'Looney- a brave man.

My Mom with advanced AZ was living in a residential care home of six with two FT caregivers. They all came down with the first virus, Wuhan, the most deadly 2 weeks before they were scheduled to be vaccinated. They all survived and nobody was hospitalized. With the exception of the 2 weeks they were considered contagious we were always allowed to visit our loved ones. What I think is noteworthy as to no deaths or hospitalization in this group of 85 to late 90’s is they were always on Vit D and a multi. All meals were home cooked, no processed foods, lots of fruit and verge’s, and kind compassionate care. Plus, as they all had a degree of dementia they were not stressed or fearful. They had no idea what Covid was. I am so grateful we were never shut out. The owner said she felt it important to balance quality of life and given the memory impairment of the residents closing down visits with loved ones might sever the fragile connections of who their loved ones are.

[MagnoliaZZZZ]

My 88 year old mother, who has an artificial heart valve, got Covid twice, as we all did in the household. My mom got over it faster than the rest of the family. No one was ever vaccinated. Zinc, vit D, good hydration and food, onion soup helped a lot. Both times it was like a simple cold. It seems like common sense went right out the window when Covid hit.

[bitsygirl]

Got another one. This past Spring I met a nurse from up in the Northeast in America. She had worked, at that time for the V.A. for 35 years. She traveled to all the V.A. hospitals in the northeast. When COVID started she was on board till a little ways into it she started noticing problems and all the deaths that were occuring. In her 35 years she had a stack of awards. She started blowing the whistle and when I met her she had a bigger stack of disciplinary attacks from that administration. The whole thing was putting a strain on her. People were being murdered and not being helped. I'm in Texas. Met her in Texas at a meeting. She went back but I think last I heard she quit. She was a good nurse.

There’s a case here in the US where a father is suing a hospital. His name is Scott Schara, and his 19 year old special needs daughter Grace was on FaceTime with her siblings one minute and dead the next, literally within an hour I think. They gave her a lethal cocktail that depressed her respiratory function AFTER apparently lying about her O2 stats. One of the drugs, which I may not spell correctly, was Presodex, which I believe is given to ppl to sedate them before being put on a ventilator, but don’t quote me on that, the details are so heart wrenching I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and might get that drug confused with another. They put this young vibrant woman on drugs she didn’t need, and then had security keep the family out so they couldn’t advocate for her. They murdered this girl, plain and simple. When you look at who died in hospitals, you see the pattern—the elderly and the disabled. I kept thinking of two words I had remembered from reading about Nazi Germany—“useless eaters”. It seems very much to me that this was a culling.

[tychonderoga]

As a district nurse, I saw poor care allowed to run rampant and power go to people's heads. Many times, I saw residents made nil by mouth and had to intervene to get food and drink into them. On more than one occasion I refused to give end of life drugs because they simply weren't necessary. The power of life and death was given to poorly trained carers, and some carers with ill intent.

[ErmUhOkFine]

My 88 yr old dad in assisted living got covid in late 2020. I sent a care box into his room since we were still allowed to do that and explained over the phone how to use the test. He packed a few things including his cat and he walked right out the back door and into my car where I took him to my house to take care of him. I figured they can’t say no if I’ve already done it. At one point his oxygen went very low and I called an ambulance. The EMTs discouraged me from sending him to hospital painting a very dire picture of conditions there. Tried to get oxygen from his GP, who refused without a proper breathing test from a hospital. My sister ordered a big oxygen machine, which came to my house the next day. I believe that machine plus the hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin saved his life. He’s 90 now and absolutely fine.

[gretanunn]

The problem continues. My own 99 year old mother was being denied food and water last year. She had a chest infection. It was difficult to get her home. I was told ‘ we need to know she will be safe ‘. My mouth fell open and I was speechless. We barely left her side until she was home and ‘safe’.

[marlenegardner]

Never forget what they did. They must be held accountable. The gaslighting is appalling at this point.

[margrethetermansen]

Dr Campbell, you are a precious voice for humanity and a fight against cruelty, criminal activity, neglect of helpless human beings. It is such a scandal in need of ongoing scrutiny. Thank you from a registered nurse who practiced for 50 years
