I apologize if I offended you. That certainly seemed like what you were saying. The take is not new, and has been circulating among the "open up" community for a while. As far as whether ventilators have "probably resulted in excess deaths"... that's just not justified by any science yet. We don't know. There's some suspicion in that direction, based mostly on New York ICU fatality rates (which are quite high despite otherwise good numbers through the rest of the process). But there's equally good evidence from e.g. Milan, which experienced very high death rates due presumptively to lack of treatment hardware.
