In Italy most hospitals are treating hospitalized patients with heparin exactly for this reason. The government forbade autopsies, but some doctors did them anyway and came back with the same result as Hamburg (note: some virologists called those findings "baloney" in public when they were shared, shortly before the Hamburg study came out).
- jansan 6y agoThe German official institution for disease prevention (RKI) also discouraged from making autopsies. The Hamburg pathologists did not give a shit, said that it is their job to find out what happened and carried on. I am so happy that there are still many people out there who can think for themselves.
- ComputerGuru 6y agoWhy are autopsies being forbidden/discouraged? Is it to minimize biohazards and contamination?
- lbeltrame 6y agoIn the Italian case, safety was mentioned, and the governmental expert panel was quoted as saying that autopsies were unnecessary since the cause of death was known.
