Suspicious ‘suicide’ of Italian doctor linked to his trailblazing Covid therapy

Why would an Italian physician who had found a cheap and effective way to treat Covid, suddenly take his own life? On July 27, 2021 Dr. Giuseppe De Donno was found lifeless by some family members in his home in Eremo, a hamlet of the Municipality of Curtatone, near Mantua, Italy. He was found hanged, leaving no note.

    His apparent suicide remains inexplicable. The tragedy involving the former head of pneumology at the Carlo Poma hospital in Mantua and real Covid trailblazer, was initially ignored by the mainstream media.

    De Donno had been promoting therapeutic plasmapheresis, which made the headlines in 2020 during the first lockdown period when, first, together with Massimo Franchini, head of the Carlo Poma Immunohematology and Transfusion, had begun treating Covid patients with hyperimmune plasma therapy.

    The treatment involved the infusion of blood from those who had been infected with the Coronavirus, appropriately treated, into other infected patients. In the period March-April 2020, at the Mantua hospital, about 58 terminally ill Coronavirus patients were given the transfusion with 200 cc of plasma from the patients recovered from Covid-19, rich in immunizing antibodies, and all were saved. The therapy showed stellar results.

    “Plasma is democratic because it is the people who donate the plasma to save the people. Probably some will not like it,” De Donno commented on his life-saving therapy.

    De Donno also ignored the ban by Health Minister Roberto Speranza on autopsies which led to his discovery of microthrombi in pulmonary embolisms. In May 2020, the pulmonologist found himself having to answer repeated calls from the NAS in charge of collecting information on the case of a pregnant woman who had recovered from Covid-19 thanks to the administration of plasma at the Carlo Poma hospital.

    NAS is a body which depends on the Ministry of Health with the task of “supervising the hygienic regulation” following agreements between the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defense and the General Command of the Carabinieri.

    Giuseppe De Donno recounted how the NAS had tried to put pressure him: “The NAS made a simple phone call to the hospital to gather summary information on what we were doing. After that phone call, I didn’t hear anything and a few days went by.” The plasma treatment was also used on another young patient for a second infusion and the phone calls for NAS suddenly began to multiply.

    On social media, De Donno wrote: “If anyone thinks they will be discouraging me they will not succeed. Today, after the hyperimmune plasma infusion, the patient was much better. The fever almost disappeared. Improved oxygenation. Less hours of mechanical ventilation. All as per protocol. We don’t always manage to save everyone. But most of the time, yes. And if anyone wants to try to intimidate me, they’ll have to answer to their conscience. Mine is very clear.”

    De Donno did not give up and continued to invest energy and resources on his plasma treatment so that, again in May 2020, he managed to secure funding to research his method at the University of Pavia. The ministry of Health officially also started testing the plasma treatment, and the hospital in Pisa took over the project, completely sidelining the Carlo Poma hospital in Mantua and ignoring De Donno, despite the fact that he had been working on plasma therapy for several months and seeing positive results.

    “There are no scientific reasons for this. I believe that the reasons are to be found in another area,” said the doctor. Soon there was no mention of plasma therapy and it was the beginning of real censorship regarding the results of the treatment and the marginalization and persecution of De Donno.

    And in April last year, the National Drug Administration rejected De Donno’s hyperimmune plasma therapy on the basis of a trial conferred on a hospital in Pisa.  In Mantua however, of the 46 patients, 43 had recovered and 3 died. Many claim that officials were hostile to professor De Donno because plasma is cheap.

    Slandered, downgraded, ignored, cornered and derided by television virologists, the new protagonists on Italian screens, De Donno resigned from the Mantua hospital in early June 2021 and in July decided to open a practice as a general practitioner. “I couldn’t care less about power, fame, going on television. I am a country doctor who has always been a country doctor and I hope to return as soon as possible in the greatest anonymity since I was anonymous until a month ago. This is my goal. The only thing that matters to me is that they give me the tools to save people.”

    His sudden, tragic death has alarmed vaccine critics because there are too many elements that do not add up. Investigations are underway but some evidence leaps to the eye even to the less attentive reader. In light of this sudden “suicide”, his remarks in Maglie (Lecce) in June 2020 become even more disturbing: “I am very frank: there was and is the will to hide this treatment. If you look at the media it is only about vaccines, while plasma treatment costs next to nothing. A certain political party tried to silence me. But with me, like this, you get the opposite effect,” concluded the doctor.

    “Some 34 thousand people died, But our results tell us that we could have saved at least half of them.” These statements certainly did not presage suicidal reflections but, rather, the desire to do well.  On his Facebook page the professor had written “Democracy is not an option.”

    The leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, said she was struck and saddened by the tragic news of the death of Dr. Giuseppe De Donno. Carlo Bottani, mayor of Curtatone and a close friend of the doctor, the pulmonology staff of the Mantua hospital and of all those who had had the opportunity to appreciate the his honesty and moral integrity, expressed their disbelief regarding his “suicide”.

    The onus is on Colonel Antonello Minutoli, the provincial commander of the Mantua carabinieri, coordinated by the Mantua Public Prosecutor’s Office to exclude any third party liability.

    Gabriele Ansaloni, a famous Italian television host is adamant: “They killed him. De Donno is a victim of those who have decreed this massacre we are witnessing, he should be made a saint.”

    He added: “A bag of plasma cost 80 euros. […]. He would have helped the sick to respond [to treatment], to get well. […] He would have saved lives, if they had let him work. He would have saved everyone. But the purpose is not to save them,” said Ansaloni.

    “With this gesture De Donno motivated even more us who believe in humanity and not in profit, in drug earnings. […] They want to annihilate us, annihilate all the good there is.”

    1. When 115 French doctors, including the President of the Scientific Council Jean-François Delfraissy, published in 2020 the advantages of the treatment of arthritis with hydroxychloroquine for more than six months in 573 patients, they found zero side effects. But when the same treatment is advised for Covid, the side effects are ‘dangerous’ all of a sudden.

    2. Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

    The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

    Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.
