A very close friend of mine, his wife found a lump just before lockdown. She didn’t get an appointment until six months later. By that time all that could be done was a complete bilateral mastectomy.
It is going to take years to tally up the number of people who died or were severely maimed who didn’t have to die or undergo radical surgeries due to delays from COVID lockdowns.
One of the things I’ve been hearing that is still currently anecdotal and we really need to get data on is the supposed increase in stillbirths, miscarriages, and maternal mortality due to obstetricians not being able to do hands-on examinations of patients for early detection of problems.
I fault every single doctor and nurse who did not stand up to the lockdowns when patients they were treating could no come in for treatment while hospitals had to lay off staff due to budget shortfalls from empty beds.
The medical community totally failed to obey the principle “first do no harm.”
Countless people were neglected to disability or death by doctors, a hospital industry, and governments that seemed to only care about COVID.
I suspect that this information might never be fully released because if it was, there won’t be a bulldozer left in America that doesn’t have steel plates welded to it by the friends and loved ones of people who died needlessly because they had been ignored in favor of COVID panic.
I almost lost an eye to infection during the covid lockdown here because I didn’t think it would be that bad. It was, and I now have a permanent reminder every time I look in the mirror because of the permanent muscle damage. It’s not obvious to others, but it is to me.
To be clear, I don’t blame my doctor. Under normal conditions I would have gone in and seen him, gotten a prescription, and hit the pharmacy on the way home. But this was the second or third day of the Tennessee lockdown, where the most conservative governor we have had in my lifetime conducted mass surveillance on every cellphone in the state and decided we weren’t following the stay at home guidance strictly enough. There were stories of local and state police pulling people over to question them about why they were out, and I didn’t want to deal with it, frankly. Like I said, I didn’t think it was going to be that bad.
On the second day, I was able to get a telemedicine appointment, which was a new thing for my insurance. I got medication that afternoon and it saved my eye but not before the surrounding muscles got out of whack. My left eye now opens about 80% of the way and that’s it.
Considering how Cuomo has gotten away with murdering several thousand senior citizens, I wonder. While it’s tempting to assume there would be consequences for the politicians that inflicted this evil on us, I will assume that nothing will happen. At least not to the ones with D behind their name, which is the majority of the guilty.
No matter how much ‘immunity’ the government tries to dole out, there will be repercussions, I think. Legal, and extralegal.

Right there with you. They’ve lost an immeasurable amount of respect and credibility from me, to the point that I’m going to sound like an anti-science/medicine lunatic to normies. I just don’t trust them anymore.
I didn’t have this kind of experience. When my dad went into the hospital for the last time, we were able to visit him — albeit only a limited number per day. We were able to be there for his last moments, and the funeral home bluntly told us “no limit on people, and don’t worry about masks”. This was the middle of last summer.
How much of the idiocy came from actual physicians, and how much from administrators?
I lost a cousin due to non covid lung problems, he couldnt get in to be seen by a doctor until too late. I understand that he was able to phone his children and his wife was able to be with him before he passed. Cant claim his health was pristine, he’d had 2 bouts of lung cancer before, but we’ll never know if he could have survived this.
