However, often intubation is indicated when septic shock is occurring. So the question is, did the sepsis occur before or after intubation? Second question: How successful is that hospital at keeping people alive? Might be hard to find that statistic, but the WAY the staff approach intubation, including using other types of oxygen delivery prior, can have a significant impact on the outcomes.
This paper decribes the magnitude of the complications due to intubation, including a whopping 25% of people who had to have the procedure repeated, because the first attempt failed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3237146/
The other angle is remdesivir: That stuff stops kidney function in two or three days. Once the kidneys shut down, the lungs fill with water, and the patient drowns. IF there were any infectious particles shoved down there with the tubes, then one would have had a cocktail of death.
The African trials had to be stopped because the drug was killing too many people. Nurses colloquially call the drug Run-deth-is-near.
OK, as you can see: 1 on 4 of those procedures can go awry, and then they have more trouble on their hands. You were lucky the first time, and God blessed you with some more years with your son.
However, your trust may have been misplaced. Not your fault though. The hospitals have gone through a peculiar transformation in the last two years, good nurses and doctors left, some died, and administrators were compensating the system by coining it with covid incentives. This may have encouraged corrupt behaviour. Again I don't know, My point is that the blame could be somewhere obtuse, with a person that is not a doctor or nurse. Also there is the whole Gobal fraud craziness, which is having effects in all sorts of areas. Maybe the room ventilation HVAC had not had the filters changed and there were some particles in his mouth. Maybe a freshly qualified person did the intubation. Maybe a doctor was too under pressure to notice the signs of sepsis. I don't know. There will be many community stakeholders who will want to find fault.
The problem is that the only evidence you can now find is getting buried, and it may be loosely filled in because people were stressed for time.
Not in the medical field, but have been researching that stuff for decades because of my phobia of hospitals and what I call stupid Doctors.
It is possible to cause damage when intubating: it is a high-risk procedure, during which secretions, blood, droplets and aerosols can shed widely. There is a case study of a patient here: https://associationofanaesthetists-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2044.1994.tb04266.x

In this study, the median length of stay for remdesivir recipients was 6 days, compared with 3 days for the matched patients who did not receive remdesivir. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2781963 So there is that.
Sorry to be so graphic, I am very sorry for your loss, and I shall pray for you.
