From the very beginning of the COVID-19 deep event came a worldwide drumroll of messages of overwhelmed Intensive Care Units ((ICUs) at hospitals. In the large majority of cases, this was a direct lie. In addition, hospitals, especially in the US, received large financial incentives to put people in ICUs.
Revealingly, most countries have not increased number of ICU beds since March 2020 at all, and many have reduced them. The "overwhelmed ICUs" is by October 2021 used as a pretext for exclude unvaccinated persons from access to health services.
Germany
At the beginning of the event in March 2020, there were around 28,000 intensive care beds in Germany. Politicians spoke gravely of the issue and gave almost 700 million euros to the hospitals for 13,700 additional beds[1]. So theoretically it should be 41,700 intensive care beds available by November 2021. In reality there were only 22,230 beds and, according to the intensive care register, only 2,439 of them are free. The beds were paid for by the taxpayer and are physically there - mostly still in their original packaging in the basement.[2]
Australia
In April 2020 the Premier of the state of Victoria, which went hard on the Corona-narrative, announced the creation of 4000 new ICU beds, in addition to the existing 450-500. By August 2021, the actual number had been reduced to 437.[3]
