A large part of this narrative is likely hostpitals themselves willing to lie because of how desperately underfunded they are, especially with our half socialist half captalist but really neither health care system where insurance ends up pocketing most of the money. They finally get the funding they've been asking for in exchange for pushing this false flag.

If Trump could give the issue some acknowledgement, and a promise for a way forward, I think a lot of healthcare workers would come out with the truth, because right now they only see one way out, and don't care who gets hurt along the way for their idea of "greater good"
