Microsoft Killed Far More Patients Than COVID-19 Killed



The company co-founded by Bill Gates would be held accountable for manslaughter had it not been so politically connected (while media omits the role of Microsoft's shoddy products)

Goodfellas
2013: Bill Gates "Uploaded a Virus he Had Written and Caused the Entire Network to Crash."



Summary: The media may not be making it apparent (deliberate obfuscation), but many people die every day just because a lot of hospitals still use Microsoft Windows with NSA back doors

TODAY we publish something a little different, partitioned and redacted so as to best protect our sources. It would be nice to just put it all 'out there', revealing all the gory (sometimes literally) details, but that would be counterproductive if it might hurt our sources.



"I work among people who do research, looking to discover causes of disease and possible cures/aversions."This series has been very long in the making, nearly a whole year in fact, and the pandemic makes it ever more relevant. We've decided we can no longer keep it to ourselves and the time is right to responsibly publish what we know. We're going to stick to the facts, based on the supportive evidence we have, and we'll leave it for readers to draw conclusions.

At work our main client is the NHS (when I say "our" I mean my wife and I). I work among people who do research, looking to discover causes of disease and possible cures/aversions. I've been hearing quite a few hospital stories lately. About Microsoft... well, the role in manslaughter by technical sabotage is apparent to me. We can leave aside the question of who should be held accountable, be it the person who signs of the procurement papers or Microsoft itself.

"One pattern we've seen all along is that technical staff at hospitals is well aware of these problems. Some are afraid to speak about it with managers and managers themselves aren't particularly receptive or helpful. They'd rather cover up scandals than deal with them openly."I invite readers who have relevant information to share it with Techrights. We promise to handle it responsibly. I am keeping notes and indexes of all that's sent to me on a locked-down machine that doesn't contain proprietary software other than Wi-Fi firmware. One day, one way or another, the truth on this will come out. When the time is right. We just need the evidence at hand; shall someone choose to challenge claims made here, we can back those up with evidence, either privately or publicly (depending on sensitivity).

One pattern we've seen all along is that technical staff at hospitals is well aware of these problems. Some are afraid to speak about it with managers and managers themselves aren't particularly receptive or helpful. They'd rather cover up scandals than deal with them openly. I am familiar with the experience of clueless managers at work (no technical knowledge at all) and what sources describe to us is far from outlandish. What they describe is a very common problem. You're not alone, technical people who work at hospitals! You may feel alone in the context of the work, but many people in other workplaces experience the same thing.

Means of contacting us have not changed and we can handle encryption just fine. Without further ado, let's get this thing started.
