A medical mannequin.

  • Has a mannequin been intubated by a hospital instead of a real patient to make people believe in the dangerousness of Covid-19? 

  • This is what affirms a photo montage relayed on Facebook.

  • However, this takes the images of the video demonstration of an artificial respirator on a mannequin out of context.

What if the proof that the Covid-19 pandemic was just a vast plot to frighten the population ultimately rests on a simple plastic dummy?

In any case, this is what a photo montage relayed on Facebook claims to prove, showing a doctor, masked, visibly treating ... a fake human body lying on a table, with the "mouth" intubated.

The misleading Facebook post on the alleged manipulation around Covid-19.

"Aaah poor sheep… You are shown" hard "pictures to convince you of the danger of this pseudo epidemic… What if you plug in your brain and open your eyes.

Attempt to resuscitate a MANNEQUIN with Covid ", says the text accompanying these screenshots, while the adjoining caption adds a layer (conspirator):" So friends, still convinced that this "pandemic" is not not a hoax orchestrated by the globalist elite, and by the lobbies?

Still not convinced of mass mind manipulation?

"

However, if these images are authentic, they are taken out of context since they are actually taken from an educational video published by an American hospital, explaining, using this mannequin, how artificial respirators are supposed to help treat patients with coronavirus.

FAKE OFF

A simple search on YouTube from the title at the top of the first screenshot - “New York coronavirus cases surge - hospitals strugg [the]” - is enough to see that this manipulation of the mannequin by a doctor was used in a British channel Channel 4 News report, posted on March 31, 2020.

Entitled "Faced with the peak of Covid-19 cases in New York, hospitals are struggling to cope", it was based, from 2'40, on these images to illustrate the words of the voiceover on the shortage of respirators: "The governor of New York today pleaded with President Trump to provide him with immediate assistance, explaining that he was obliged to buy respirators in China rather than obtain them directly from the States United, an attempt equivalent to participating in auctions on eBay.

"

This passage is therefore in no way intended to mislead the spectators - especially since we can clearly see, on the two posters visible in the background, a ban on bringing “food, drinks and pens near the trainers and models. ".

The readable "Rush" mention on the doctor's coat allows it to go back to the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and, one thing leading to another, to a video posted on his YouTube channel at the same time.

We find the man visible in the photo montage, who is none other than a specialist in respiratory diseases, perfectly qualified to explain in this sequence, medical procedures in support, "how ventilators help Covid patients- 19 ”.

We finally find the exact shot in which he manipulates the mannequin in a similar educational video shot on the same occasion but for the Associated Press (from 1'46 below).

Ironically, Rush University Medical Center posted another explanatory video around the same time - on its care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome - featuring a dummy ... of flesh and bones.
