“This near-universal policy of forced isolation in the ICU is not conclusively supported by data and is clearly traumatic to patients, their families, and clinicians like me caring for the dying in the ICU,” D’Couto stressed in the column, headlined, “Forcing my Covid patients to die alone is inhumane — and unnecessary.” The piece was published on March 7, 2022, about two years after a Rockford, Illinois, hospital locked out my uncle from seeing his dying wife.

It’s hard to believe we’re now five years from the beginning of all of that madness. Of all the terrible things the “experts,” the groupthink scientists, the power-drunk unelected bureaucrats, and the evil politicians did to us in that unconscionable lockdown of our liberties, forcing people to die alone was the most inhumane.

The same people who are shedding tears over violent illegal immigrants being rounded up and jailed or deported are ones who created tip lines to rat out Americans who violated lockdown orders. The same people who are lying to you about Trump and Republicans cutting Social Security benefits to actual beneficiaries remained silent when nursing home patients were forced die alone in the name of Covid fear, politics, and “following the science.”
