Original Message
“All these f------ ventilators. This is what is going on. Brand new. Brand f------ new.”
The video is from a resident who was taking some garbage to the South Dade Landfill last week. He was stunned to see pallets full of brand new, wrapped medical ventilators dumped as bulky trash among mattresses, tires and other waste.
His video shows hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ventilators sitting on trash mountain.
What’s dumped is usually plowed under within a day, so those ventilators are probably gone now.
“I just thought it was a lot of waste,” the resident said. “I mean, thousands and thousands of medical units that are being just tossed out.”
From the packaging, Local 10 News traced the model and the manufacturer: Beijing Aerospace Changfeng Ltd. in Beijing.
A posting from a broker shows the device selling at $26,000 during the height of need last spring, as U.S. medical workers scrambled to find ventilators for an exploding number of COVID-19 patients.
