Your logic is flawed.
It's pretty clear that if you have COVID-19 and have to go on a ventilator, it's because your chances of survival without it were not good. WITH the ventilator, your chances of survival are better than they would have been if you didn't go on it.
50% chance of survival on a ventilator is better than 10% chance of survival for someone who needed it, and didn't get it.
