John Campbell, Ph.D., said widespread use of palliative drugs on COVID-19 patients suppressed breathing and caused many preventable deaths, especially in U.K. care homes. The resulting death toll made COVID-19 appear far deadlier than it was, helping to justify sweeping global restrictions, including lockdowns, mass vaccination campaigns and mask mandates, Campbell said.

“This is a complete national outrage that is largely being ignored,” he said.

In an interview on political commentator Russell Brand’s “Stay Free” podcast, Campbell said the routine use of midazolam and morphine — drugs intended for end-of-life care — to treat COVID-19 patients created a lethal combination that suppressed breathing and oxygenation. In terminal care, clinicians often escalate doses of opioids and sedatives to control pain and agitation. When used repeatedly, those drugs depress respiration, Campbell said.

During the pandemic, similar drug regimens were administered to COVID-19 patients who were not actually dying.
