Medfags.
I watched a Belgianfag called out the French gov’t on Youtube (in French) for authorizing injections of Rivotril to COVID patients by decree. He claims that the French gov’t thereby authorized doctors to effectively
euthanize
COVID patients. Rivotril = brand name of clonazepam, an anti-seizure drug. Clonazepam belongs to the class of medications called benzodiazepines. In general, benzodiazepines are used as a sedative or to decrease seizures or anxiety. Clonazepam is used to treat seizure disorders. It helps by slowing the activity of the nerves in the brain (i.e., the central nervous system). https://www.rexall.ca/articles/view/553/Rivotril

Have they authorized euthanasia of COVID patients? I don’t understand how benzodiazepines work. Is something similar going on in our respective countries, to boost the death numbers and off patients that would otherwise cost the medicare systems big bucks? That is, if such a protocol truly does effectively euthanize the patient, of course. Thanks medfags.
Red text must be on its own line, anon.
If they are euthanizing people, that is sick, though in socialized med countries, I've heard this is acceptable.
