The case of 67-year-old Joe McCarron, a Covid patient encouraged to leave a County Donegal hospital against the advice of doctors by an Italian no vax activist, is being discussed in Ireland, to die a few days later following an aggravation of the disease. According to the Irish press, Antonio Mureddu, a restaurateur from County Galway with a long history of conspiratorial and far-right activism, who had also joined groups that deny the coronavirus and oppose medical treatment and vaccination. In an internet video, no vax helps McCarron leave the Covid ward of Letterkenny University Hospital as doctors try to persuade the patient not to leave. “If you stay here they will kill you,” says Mureddu, claiming he came there to save him.
McCarron after a few days was rushed to the same center for a worsening of his condition and it was useless to submit him to lung ventilator therapy. Mureddu, a former soldier and supporter of the League – writes the Irish Times – has carried out his action with the assistance of the Common Law Information Center to which he is affiliated: it is a group that promotes the application of the law only on the basis to the consent of individuals. The activist claims that it was the elderly patient himself who asked for his intervention. Garda, the Irish police, has launched an investigation into the fact to determine if the code has been violated.
To understand this story we need to go back to last September 14 when Mureddu shows up at Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) to bring Joe McCarron home: “If you stay here they kill you, you die.” Intule every attempt by the doctors to convince him to give up: “It is the only way for you to be saved, you are saturated,” the doctors explain. But he is nothing, he is persuaded and taken away by Mureddu. The whole scene was filmed by the No Vax cell phone which documented the break-in into the hospital and the exit with his friend and patient. Too bad McCarron died a few days later.
