An Italian manager of the German pharmaceutical company B. Braun explained in an interview that thousands of doses of the powerful sedative were brought to northern Italy for “Covid patients” in March 2020. The protocols of the health services recommended its use. This is a further indication that it was not a virus but, among other things, the massive use of highly toxic preparations that caused the excess mortality in March/April 2020. By Konstantin Demeter
It is one of the most defining images of the coronavirus era: the convoy of military lorries transporting coffins with “Covid dead” in Bergamo. The photo, taken in March 2020 by the then 28-year-old flight attendant Emanuele di Terlizzi from his balcony, contributed significantly to the fear of an allegedly extremely dangerous virus in Europe. Sceptics of the official coronavirus narrative, on the other hand, speculated about what could have actually led to the many deaths.

On the one hand, it should be noted that burials of so-called “Covid-dead” were massively restricted at the time due to an alleged risk of infection, which led to some crematoria being overloaded. Secondly, the number of lorries was greatly exaggerated: 13 vehicles transported 65 coffins to crematoria in the surrounding area.
Nevertheless, there wasindeed excess mortality in northern Italy at the time compared to the average from 2015 to 2019. According to official data, five times more people “with Covid” – i.e. with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result – died in the north than in the south, both during the first “Covid wave” from February to April 2020 and during the second, which began in September 2020. However, the data from the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS), which is part of the Ministry of Health, shows that there was never a real health emergency.
It is also worth mentioning a study from August 2020, according to which the severe air pollution in northern Italy played a role in excess mortality(we reported). However, according to the authors, this was not directly responsible for the deaths. Rather, pollutants and the microclimate had favoured the “transport” of viruses into the lungs and promoted the infection of the cells.
However, differences in excess mortality were also observed in the north itself. Only a relatively small number of cities in northern Italy were affected. The fashion metropolis of Milan, for example, recorded fewer deaths than Bergamo during this period, as Transition News editor Torsten Engelbrecht explains in his book “Virus-Wahn ” (page 406 in the chapter “Totaler Corona-Wahn”). This also indicates that there was no virus pandemic at work.
It also emerged early on that the massive and sometimes uncontrolled administration of highly toxic drugs had led to many alleged corona deaths. In particular, antivirals, antibiotics and the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine were decisive factors.
In November last year, another drug was inadvertently brought into play as a possible cause of death in an interview that has since been removed. In it, Gabriele Ceratti, the Italian manager of the German pharmaceutical company B. Braun with a turnover of several billion euros, explained that drugs had been brought to northern Italy to be administered to “Covid patients”. In particular, this involved midazolam, a powerful tranquilliser belonging to the benzodiazepine class, which is used for terminal patients or as a sedative for euthanasia.
Incorrect doses of this drug can lead to coma or death. In 2023, for example, an employee of a retirement home in the southern Italian city of Foggia was suspected of administering excessive doses of midazolam to at least 16 patients. According to the Kleine Zeitung newspaper, this led “first to their sedation and then to their death”.
Characteristic for patients with lung problems, as is often the case with Covid-19, the side effects of midazolam include respiratory depression, i.e. a flattening or reduction in breathing.
According to Ceratti, it was only thanks to the contribution of B. Braun’s “regulatory affairs officers” that thousands of doses of midazolam were delivered from Germany to Italy in just a few days, whereas under normal circumstances this would have taken weeks. The same approach was taken with Propofol, another tranquilliser. According to the company, midazolam was “urgently needed for the mechanical ventilation of thousands of COVID-19 patients”. And it has been proven that these “intubations” alone have led to numerous deaths.
According to the Italian journalist writing under the pseudonym “Cesare Sacchetti”, the Ministry of Health, headed by Roberto Speranza, had granted the necessary authorisation for the distribution of these drugs in Italy, even though the labels were written in English or German and not in Italian, as required by Italian law.
The protocols of the health services of the Lobardei and Emilia-Romagna regions recommended administering a cocktail of tranquillisers based on morphine and midazolam to “Covid patients”. The protocol of the Emilia Romagna Health Service even states:
“Use midazolam to achieve palliative sedation (morphine alone does not guarantee deep sedation)”
“Sacchetti” notes that midazolam was also used in the UK and Spain, countries that experienced marked excess mortality – within a very short period of time, with a steep rise and an equally steep fall in the mortality curve within two to three weeks in April 2020.
Such a curve is a further indication that no virus could have been the cause of the excess mortality. After all, no virus could cause such “spikes”, especially not outside the usual flu season.
