Netherlands Delay Treatment for Cancer and Heart Patients to Free up Space for Covid Patients
Preparing for another Covid wave, the Netherlands has begun to delay treatment and vital operations for cancer and heart patients to ensure that there is more space in intensive care units for incoming Covid patients. Reuters has the story.
Dutch healthcare officials said on Friday they have begun delaying operations for some cancer and heart patients to free up space in intensive care units during a record wave of Covid infections.
“These are cancer patients that should actually be operated on within six weeks of diagnosis, and that won’t be met in all cases. It’s also heart patients,” said a spokesperson for LCPS, the national organisation that allocates hospital resources.
“It’s horrible, of course, for the patients.”
The National Institute for Health (RIVM) reported a record of more than 23,000 new cases in the previous 24 hours on Thursday, compared with the previous daily high of around 13,000 reached in December 2020.
With 85% of the adult population vaccinated, both hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates have so far remained lower than they were at the height of the initial wave in April 2020, although there is a delay between the date of infection and the date of admission to hospital.
With fewer than 200 beds remaining in Dutch ICU as of Thursday, hospitals are scrambling to add more capacity.

They will soon need to free up space for people shot by the police
They even cocked that up. The police are supposed to shoot to kill.
At the beginning of lockdown proper (March 2020) the nearby main regional hospital had already cleared out the Orthopaedic department to use as intensive care for covids. This was when far far less was known about this relatively innocuous disease than is now the case.
They did the same with the large Eye Unit, Cardiology andHaematology but never used them, likewise the requisitioned Nuffield hospital which stayed empty for 12 months.*
This is either a paniced overeaction by the Dutch health authorities or intended as propaganda by their government.
*When they finally got around to building our Nightingale it was never used for covids either.
Yes – it simply makes no sense in terms of actuality and logic. The numbers just don’t add up.
Too late to edit.
That Orthopaedic/Covid ward had a maximum occupancy of 80 over the 2020 Easter weekend, few on ventilation, fewer died, out of an NHS Region of 1 million souls.
Note my comment that those departments were already closed down, in some cases 2-3 weeks before Covid had supposedly arrived on these shores.
Not suspicious or something are you .
You can cut ICU cases by 90% if you treat the disease properly in the early stages. This has been known since last summer but suppressed for political reasons.
It’s called murder.
If they Holland had as many as 200 idle ICU beds as of Thursday someone isn’t doing their job properly.
Dunno their total ICU capacity (because they haven’t told us) but 95%+ occupancy should be the norm.
I do have to note that it’s staff rather than beds that tends to be the limiting factor.
I don’t know if they operate the same lunatic scheme as us of telling vital workers to self isolate even if they’re non-symptomatic and “test” negative.
look it has to appeark worse than it is they fucked up massively … and now they have to pretend they meant to fall over not just trip .
The propaganda bastards are certianly doing there jobs properly fools if you believe however….. like i keep saying no guns ,murder or torture involved here so what you have to do is… protest… refuse… speak out i live next door to a policmen believe me he isnt get paid enough to have the rest of the country hate him forever
Thank you for confirming my point about the Police, armed or not, remain ‘of the people’.
Why not build hospitals like we did for those additional patients, those Nightingale hospitals were so vital they were kept in pristine condition.
Me thinks there was a reason why the plandemic focused on protecting health services & not giving people medical care.
How else could they implement a compulsory digital passport?
And the running costs were impressively low!
Correction: the profit and kickback margins were maximised.
Ever get the feeling youve been cheated !!
”85% of the adult population is vaccinated” – well the logical conclusion is that the vaccines do not reduce serious illness from covid – wakey wakey – the vaccines DONT WORK
And what god damn reason is that for not having it ?
And not even bothering to repeat the ‘new variant’ scam to explain breakthroughs, they seem content with the public accepting the jabs as a waste of time.
Now they are trying the brute force approach.
So in summary, 20 months & Zillions of $ later they still haven’t learned how to treat covid effectively or increased capacity, but billions has been spent on digital surveillance!
They had one job to do, stop people getting seriously ill & overwhelming ICU, instead they banned & ignored any drug/supplement/treatment that would help & spent even more trillions on “vaccines” that don’t work & actually increase fatality, with over 50,000 deaths & millions of adverse reactions!
Now they’re shooting people in the streets, destroying lives & livelihoods & poisoning children to death & giving young adults lifelong heart conditions!
What a monumental cock-up 😉
Culpable negligence, by now, surely? Or treason, or terrorism as defined by inducement of fear for political aims? Just want to make sure the charges are not going to be trivial ones, ye ken.
Not necessarily. In terms of the Great Reset it’s going very nicely
It isn’t about medicine in any way whatsoever. It is all about politics and how to nudge people into the gas chambers. Ooops, sorry, that was a totally different totalitarian nightmare.
yes just to cover up an hysterical over hyped panic easier to have said sorry really
Has there been any attempt to improve the immune status of the people in the countries where governments are currently contemplating ‘doing the same thing and expecting different results’?
For months now we have known that around 80% of those ending up in ICU have insignificant levels of serum Vitamin D, and conversely those with good levels, that can be achieved at 10,000IU/day supplementing, hardly ever even become symptomaticaly ill.
Simple question, Why does the medical establishment not recognise the importance of a strong immune system. [Failure to maintain a strong immune system make vaccination useless as we are seeing]
Why would people whose jobs rely on you being sick want you to be healthy?
Because they care about us isnt it ????
I recommend reading RFK Jr’s recent book on Anthony Fauci and his NIAID.
Greite writes from Utrecht.
‘My nana has had her leukaemia treatment cancelled so if she dies it will be the fault of Willem my stupid anti-vaxxer cousin and his stupid friends. I hope the cops shoot them.’
Divide and rule
ill advisde emotional anger you seriously believe that people who have done nothing wrong should be shot dead because they wont take a vaccine that DOESNT work how will that avenge your nana
‘Greite’ is imaginary, the text offered for comic illustrative purposes only but there will be people in the Netherlands who think that way.
They are freeing up the beds for the vaccine damaged and dying. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/according-to-dr-paul-offit-we-should
Possibly not are you on tranquilisers
Ad hominem, can’t you do better. ?
Repeat. Based on v. recent detailed 160 pages of research/data/fact using US and Canada as case studies – ‘Covid’ – a mild virus for most people – makes up a very small percentage of the actual (once you discount other causes) deaths over 20/21 from a respiratory illness- the killer was and is bacterial pneumonia which is treatable with antibiotics and responds to Ivermectim. The prescriptions for antibiotics in US went down by almost half during the so called pandemic phase. There was and is no pandemic but rather mass medical malfeasance – with a toxic useless jab thrown in for good measure. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355574895_Nature_of_the_COVID-era_public_health_disaster_in_the_USA_from_all-cause_mortality_and_socio-geo-economic_and_climatic_data
still boils down to cant admit they were wrong if they admitted that how wouod we ever vote for them again No one believes so just keep on NOT believing its oxygen will die off
Can you translate that into English? No I thought not.
So they’re going to deliberately kill people because they might (not do) need those beds for some other people?
Is there a moral low to which they will not sink?
Operation Cygnus spreads to the Netherlands. Looks like it is a good time to buy shares in whoever makes midazolam (/sarc – though the ghouls behind this will have no qualms)
NO !!!
Yes.
Off topic, but a general question. “How much danger money are shop assistants on as shops are such dangerous places to work”?
Dutch hospitals seek more staff to assist with covid.
Previous experience in sado-masochism is essential. All other training given on the job.
well i was going to start on Monday but my aunties dog got pinged because he looked at sosmeone in a helicopter whose Nan thought she had covid last year which she though she might have caught in the toilets at Costa off one of their platic cups which might have been touched by the saturday girl whose father was distantly related to Alexander Fleming .Still what can you do Eh ???
What is that photograph showing exactly and when was it taken ,yesterday? probably not
It doesn’t matter! It’s a picture of someone apparently being treated for something in hospital – we must lock down immediately!
It’s terrible how people are still dying with Covid and nothing else.
They’re only just now scrambling to add capacity? Inexcusable.
Hospitals in USA and in first world countries are refusing life-saving Ivermectin treatment even with court orders. Big Pharma doing everything they can to jab us no matter what, while alternative COVID cures EXIST! There happens to be heavy censorship who are looking for these treatments. The Research Is Clear: Ivermectin Is a Safe, Effective Treatment for COVID. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
What do you expect, other than crowded hospitals, when you refuse patients easily-obtainable and affordable prophylactic and early-stage treatments for any illness? If Holland and other Western countries really want to free up beds and ICU facilities, they should tell doctors to do their job and start prescribing some of the numerous proven, inexpensive, repurposed anti-COVID home remedies such as (whisper it!) ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and fluvoxamine – plus vitamin D, C and zinc supplements and saline nasal wash. The experimental pseudo vaccines are arguably hurting far more than they are working and, other than further lining the already-bulging pockets of Big Pharma and their investors, the logic for continuing the roll-out seems difficult to justify Ultimately, the result can only be many more deaths and injuries (from the frankenjabs as well as the virus we falsely assured would kill it off), increased economic and social disruption, and an expansion of the brutal authoritarianism now being used increasingly to crush protest and silence dissent. If political leaders are really interested in “following the science” they need to heed Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity -“doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”. Or could it be that they… Read more »
Simple solution. Issue all Covid patients with Ivermectin and then them get on with it and free up space for cancer and heart patients.
Let’s all move to Florida!
Let the cancer and heart patients die. What do they matter when we must bow to the great Covid?
Oops both remdesivir ($3,000) a dose in the USA and ventilators kill people with Covid. Remdesivir causes kidney failure. Most people never come off a vent alive. Ask any doctor or nurse treating Covid patients. However, over 60 studies show ivermectin (6p a tablet) used early to treat Covid prevents hospitalisation and death.
hmmm, surely the docs in the Netherlands know this. What exactly are they waiting for? Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Pierre Kory, and Dr. Zelenko have all been kind enough to publish their effective treatments. It isn’t a secret.
No-one gets ill these days unless they contract Covid!! Absolute nonsense.
Silly F****rs!
