Other than interstitial pneumonia! Pulmonary thromboembolism was behind the approximately 35,000 deaths from Covid-19. Diagnosis wrong, cure wrong. At this point, it is natural to ask: was the coronavirus affair in Italy a massacre of state?

The operation-truth of the L'Eretico Association, founded by Professor Giulio Tarro, the magistrate Angelo Giorgianni and the medical researcher Pasquale Mario Bacco, starts from this disturbing question, which has highlighted, and continues to do so, a series of problematic aspects in the management of the ongoing health emergency, in particular from a medical-scientific, epidemiological and legal point of view.

For L’Eretico, the proven proof of what he claims can come, where possible, from autopsies. Therefore, the Legal Committee of the Association has elaborated a model of complaint with which the relatives of the hospitalized for Covid in the intensive care wards, then deceased, can present a complaint to the competent Prosecutors to request that the investigation into the bodies of the their loved ones and ascertain the true cause of death.

The autopsies represented the turning point of the crisis. They made it possible to understand what had really happened in the organism of the deceased and to adjust the shot. It was understood that with thrombi in the lungs, deep ventilation has done more harm than good. And that by managing the disease differently, with the administration of anticoagulants or other therapies, tens of thousands of human lives have been saved.

Now do what you could and should have done in the beginning: the autopsies. If not more to save people, at least to do justice to those who have drawn unspeakable suffering from this epidemic and its wicked management.

L'Eretico stigmatizes the instructions given, at the beginning of the crisis, to general practitioners so that they do not carry out home and outpatient visits, limiting themselves to telephone triage. As well as the recommendation, addressed to citizens, to contact the emergency numbers only when serious symptoms appear, thus causing a worsening of the clinical picture, when instead it would have been possible, indeed necessary, to apply the treatments provided for by the national Pandemic Plan. And the lack of safety devices (disposable gowns, masks, gloves) for medical examinations.

All these factors precluded an early and more appropriate diagnosis and the timely initiation of effective pharmacological therapies (viral and immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive inhibitors, antibiotics, antivirals and immune integration such as immune plasma), killing thousands of people who could be saved.
