Flawed logic?? Wrong. I didn't propose any theory and didn't make any statements about whether you should or shouldn't go on a ventilator and going on a ventilator does not cause you to die. Go back and reread my post. I simply stated the mortality rate of people with COVID-19 who went on a ventilator. If your condition degrades to the point of needing a ventilator, your chances of dying are good. Don't read too much into this and try to complicate it - it is really pretty simple.

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.
