No. Many Covid patients have blood oxygen levels so low they should be dead (into the 70s and even lower). But they’re not gasping for air, their hearts aren’t racing, and their brains show no signs of blinking off from lack of oxygen. They did not need vents- their pulse ox levels were misleading.

It seems you are confused. You're pointing out observations from the very onset of the COVID pandemic, which were immediately adopted as policy.

This is stuff that precedes other policies like placing ICU patients prone/lying face down to improve breathing.

It makes absolutely no sense at all to fabricate conspiracy theories based on the assumption that everyone in the world was systematically subjected to a procedure which was rejected right from the start.
