 Or midazolam 
 What’s this? 
 a drug used in the uk to basically put old people out of their misery.  perhaps reasonable imo if they're definitley dying but during covid docs who were too scared to visit nursing homes just prescribed tons of midazolam remotely. 

no way to know how many old people were essentially euthanised this way but seems very unlikely to be zero. 
 Frightening.

I didn’t know this one.

Add it to the list. 
 Here's the debunking.

When a fact checker has to admit the basics of the conspiracy theory correct, and rely on "but correlation isn't causation" then you know somethings up!
