So the gist of this video is that the current treatment protocols for CV19 are incorrect: CV19 is being treated as a viral pneumonia, but it is not a viral pneumonia. More importantly, treating CV19 as a viral pneumonia is causing more harm to the patients by damaging their lungs.
The doctor goes on to describe the effects of CV19 as being more akin to oxygen starvation as might be seen in victims of high-altitude disease, as opposed to what would be seen in pneumonia victims.
The problem with his presentation, however, is that he fails to explain that there is a differentiation between “cause” and “effect”:
Pneumonia kills because its victims eventually suffocate, that is, cannot sufficiently oxygenate their blood to remain alive. The mechanics of this slow suffocation typically involve the build-up of mucous in the victim’s lungs, which prevents the oxygen from passing into the victim’s bloodstream (and the exchange of CO2 from the bloodstream).
Note that pneumonia is not, itself, a disease, but a condition of the lungs, usually caused by an underlying disease.
So, CV19 is not a “viral pneumonia” (to my knowledge, no medical expert ever claimed it was), it is a respiratory virus, as it is member of the SARS family of viruses. And as a respiratory virus, it can, and often does, trigger a pneumonic response.
The doctor never explains what he believes might be an alternative to the current treatment protocol; nor does he even suggest that an alternative treatment might exist (I have read that certain steroids have been tried to reduce pulmonary inflammation which contributes to the production of mucus, with inconclusive results).
Patients are dying because they cannot get oxygen into their blood. They cannot get oxygen into their blood because CV19 has caused their bodies to fill their lungs with mucus. The only current method doctors have to try to force oxygen into these patients bloodstreams ( short of heart-lung machines) is to use ventilators.
