What the Nurses Saw: An Investigation Into Systemic Medical Murders That Took Place in Hospitals During the COVID Panic and the Nurses Who Fought Back ... Their Patients
No human activity can ever be free from error, but to be clear, this book is not about the kind of error all human beings are prone to.
As you will learn from the eye-witness accounts and technical information presented in this book, calling the failed COVID protocols “errors” is not accurate.
What The Nurses Saw — It was Murder.
These protocols were explicitly ordered by those who took dictatorial control of the medical system early in the Panic (spring of 2020). Further, when they were shown to be demonstrably failing and harming many thousands of people, experienced healthcare professionals who raised informed concerns were silenced through demotion, firing, and organized campaigns of harassment promoted by the news media and enabled by companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, in some cases in collaboration with the White House and the Department of Justice’s FBI.
If this sounds very bad, it’s because it is.
What the Nurses Saw is documentation of what happens in the real world when bureaucrats, in this case bureaucrats in Washington DC, take literal dictatorial control over the practice of medicine.
On a pure dollar and cents level, one of every five dollars spent in the U.S. is spent on the products of the medical services industry, as is one of every three tax dollars. The U.S., more than any country in the world, and by a large measure, has been colonized by this industry. As part of this process, the industry and its operatives have corrupted and perverted science, academia, and the news media. Now it’s hard at work to weaken and degrade the last pillar that keeps the system even remotely functioning — the integrity of the nursing profession.
If we fail to support our good nurses, help them hold the line, and start aggressively turning things around, there is no practical limit to how far this totalitarian medical dictatorship which we in fact live under will go in its future abuse and exploitation of human beings.

About the author
Ken McCarthy
42 books16 followersTime Magazine (March, 2014) credited Ken McCarthy with being the person who had the fundamental insight that made it possible to transform the Internet from a non-commercial technical platform to the world's biggest marketplace and publishing platform.
His insight? That clicks had a commercial value and that their value was variable depending on audience. This insight is literally the foundation that made online businesses like Google and Facebook and millions of others possible.
In addition to this contribution, Ken was also:
1) the first to publish an article about email as a marketing tool in a marketing industry publication (1994)
2) one of the primary pioneers of the banner ad (1994)
3) early pioneer of auto-responder marketing (1996)
4) early pioneer of pay-per-click marketing (2001)
5) introduced "push button" audio to the Internet (2002), the foundation of the podcasting industry
6) early pioneer of practical online video marketing (2005), though he published the first article on the subject in 1994, and
7) early pioneer of mobile marketing (2008)
When Brian Kurtz picked the top living marketing people on the planet to honor the memory of Direct Marketing Hall of Fame legend Marty Edelson, he chose Jay Abraham, Gary Bencivenga, Dan Kennedy, Joe Sugarman, Greg Renker and Ken, along with Ken's student Perry Marshall, to represent the very best of the best in all mediums - direct mail, infomercials, catalog sales and Internet.
All that and a phenomenal educator too.
Ken organized and sponsored the first conference ever held on the subject of business on the World Wide Web, way back in 1994.
In 2002, when everyone else in the market had shut down after 9/11, and the Dotcom Crash, and declared that opportunities on the Internet "over", Ken launched the most important and influential Internet marketing seminar series of all time: The System Seminar.
Thousands of students attended over the years from twenty-three countries and five continents and many went on to become leaders in the industry.
In the System Seminar, Ken laid down the fundamentals of Internet marketing still used today: opt-in, email follow up, A/B split testing, knowing your conversion rates, multiple forms of media (text, photos, audio, video), "virtual" seminars, and high quality ad copy.

I had known right from the beginning of it all that something was just not right. I began my own research into vaccines and what it takes to get them to market. The further I dug the more I realized that it was impossible to develop a safe vaccine at warp speed. I knew so many would suffer and die unnecessarily. Having now read this book my eyes and understanding have been opened to see so much more. Thank you to everyone who saw the light and stood up and did not succomb.

Well researched and documented
Can't say I enjoyed this book, would far prefer that it never had to be written. But it tells the stories of frustration and hopelessness many experienced throughout the Covid pandemic.

A must read
One of the best books I've read.
A truly shocking survey of medical and government corruption. You will think again about the hospital before going in.

This book is a scathing indictment of the U.S. government health agencies and the health-care industry in particular, from those who witnessed the criminal actions taking place during the pandemic: the nurses. Hospitals and health-care providers were sent COVID-19 protocols to follow from the beginning of the pandemic, in which they specifically stated which drugs to use or procedures to follow in order to receive financial payments and bonuses. When a public health emergency (PHE) is declared, all bets are off. Normal protocols that were followed prior to 2020 were considered verboten. No more patient bill of rights. Even the issuance of ibuprofen to a sick patient was forbidden, forget about prophylactics such as Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine which had known histories of effectiveness for years. It was like the fear and panic just shut down the brains of most doctors. They were told from up-high what to do and they were going to stick with it, even if it meant killing their patients. A few voiced alarm, but most willingly complied.
People may not be aware of the reward system the hospitals and clinics were operating under during this time. The HHS formulated a payment plan to hospitals and networks that was based on past Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to each state. So one state's hospitals may see a financial gain of $176,000 for each COVID patient admitted to their facility, while--oh let's say West Virginia received the highest payments of $461,000 per COVID patient admitted. The institutions were paid for every PCR test performed, every COVID diagnosis, every patient that was given Remdesivir, every patient who was put on a ventilator, etc. Obviously, this incentivized some administrators to push all these measures in order to gin up their revenue during this peak time.
Some nurses began to push back as they viewed unethical standards being progressed. Intubation of patients should only be performed in the most dire of circumstances, but there were patients who were young and had no comorbidities that were being pressured to agree to ventilation with no informed rights given. Add to this the fact that most patients were isolated from their families, so they did not have personal advocates for their health and had to make life and death decisions on their own. A majority of the patients put on ventilators ended up dying. The vast majority of deaths were people who had diabetes, comorbidities or who were obese, but others who should have survived as they did not have a single one of those factors were ruthlessly murdered. It is a telling and ominous fact that HHS had admitted in one of their protocols that the people who would die would be the ones who were the most expensive to their agency over the long term. It is almost like they set up the protocols to get rid of these costly patients. But that sounds like a giant conspiracy theory, right?
The people who came forward for this book and who created American Frontline Nurses and other patient rights organizations should be applauded, but very shady sources are attacking them as providing misinformation. I would believe them over someone who is shoving money in their pockets. Everyone should read this book to be informed of the downward trajectory that has taken place since 2020.

I fell for the COVID scam, got two shots then suffered a cardiac arrest, which is fatal 95% of the time. The hospital received $180,000 for admitting me as a COVID patient. Later two doctors told me I did not have COVID, but I spent seven days in isolation, no visitors, never leave the room, no water. Then I was released. That seemed strange since at the time people with COVID were isolated for two weeks.
After reading RFK Jr.'s book and Edward Dowd's book, I read this one. I have recommended those to many people; I will be giving this one to almost as many. IMO, if you have not read all three books, but base your knowledge on the news, you know nothing about what happened during COVID.
Did I mention that the COVID vaccine caused my cardiac arrest? It was the only time I have been admitted to a hospital since birth, nearly 78 years ago. Protect yourself - learn what the nurses saw, and give a copy to your library for others to read. I will.

Murder by decree.
God bless these nurses.
Ken McCarthy is letting a lot of worms out of the can in his investigative narrative. The empirical evidence that is uncovered in this book should be enough to convince anyone of murder was committed on an industrial scale.
Everyone should be forced to hear the voices of these courageous nurses.

Eye Opening and Scary
This book has almost left me speechless in that, as I was reading it and even now, immediately after, I find myself wanting to say "This CAN'T be real" and "It must be more of the conspiracy theorists rambling" but I have to say, it FEELS very possible to me in this world we've been living in. Also, it is PERSONAL to me as someone who was/is considered a person with comorbidities, being over 60, diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and when I had covid, was hospitalized and on high flow oxygen. I was offered an "experimental medication to treat covid" and I was sick and alone. I had no one advocating for me, no one allowed to visit and even the staff largely stayed out of the room unless absolutely necessary.
To think about even the POSSIBILITY that my trusted local hospital may have been paid extra for testing, admitting and medicating me with an experimental medication is no less than terrifying and makes me wonder if I was even luckier than I had realized to have survived!
This book was a bit repetitive in certain areas but I think that is because several of the people being interviewed happened to mention the same issue or situation and/or, the author asked about an issue several different times. However it didn't take away from the overall quality of the book. I found the graphs pretty easy to understand and the research quite compelling.
I was also impressed with the caring about the patients and families that these nurses and others discussed and it was so sad reading about how powerless they felt in certain situations that they were forced into. However the people in these pages were and are heroes for speaking out!

My Dad died in a hospital in November of 2020 with Covid. I experienced, as a family member, many of the things described in this book. The reasons behind my interactions with the physicians and hospital administration are confirmed by the information presented here. Follow the money.
Many of the nurses I spoke to by phone over the course of his stay were amazing. The progression if his decline with the course of treatment described in this book - spot on! The resistance of the medical team to deviate or to add in any way from the treatment plan mandated from above now makes complete sense. Follow the money. Always.

I plan on buying several copies to hand out.
This book is loaded with information that the government does NOT want you to know. A word of warning, it is quite disturbing. I had to read it in smaller chunks because I was so profoundly saddened by the state of our country. But I am very glad I read it. Thank you so much Ken McCarthy for writing it.

I have read and heard about a lot of what was in this book, and have even heard it firsthand from online interviews with nurses, respiratory therapists and doctors who lived through it and ended up either quitting of losing their jobs because they bucked the system. How can you go against all you know to follow a "protocol" that is killing people. What the nurses saw truly revealed all that went on in major hospitals across the country, all the protocols they were following because they got paid more money, all the practices that were what actually caused more deaths from covid. And to think it was all for money! Beyond disgusting. Well, one good thing has come out of all of this . . . many, many people have had their eyes opened to a whole lot of things. I don't think the majority of the American people will ever be this gullible again - at least, I hope not.

Eyeopening
Much of the Covid crisis was manufactured and pressed on the populace. The nurses and respiratory therapists that saw there was something wrong were either escorted out of the hospital or they resigned just for telling the truth! Very good read.

Absolutely devastating. Shocking. Trust dismantling. Harrowing. Ultimately gratitude is all I can offer, and I offer it to Erin Olszewski (One Brave Nurse and Citizen) and to Ken McCarthy for understanding the value of Erins experiences and for bringing them to light.
