“Over 8,000 Americans are dying every week, mostly in hospital ICUs…”<\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ivermectin<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Shame on the medical and public health establishments<\/h3>\n

Joel S Hirschhorn<\/p>\n

With over 1,200 daily COVID deaths for many weeks the US is on track to reach a total of one million COVID related deaths by the end of March.\u00a0 A shameful record for 2022.<\/p>\n

To think that every week over 8,000 Americans are dying, mostly in hospital ICUs is unbelievable.\u00a0 But that is no excuse that there is no serious attention by the mainstream media.\u00a0 Take a moment to reflect that this is more deaths than those in the 9\/11 attacks and Pearl Harbor, combined.\u00a0 And it is happening every week.<\/p>\n

The late stage problem<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hospitals have become killing machines, places where the kiss of death is a protocol following government guidelines.\u00a0 Despite wide COVID vaccine use deaths in hospitals because of late stage viral infection remain at a high level.\u00a0 Difficulty in getting COVID testing quickly and often probably contributes to the high death rate.\u00a0 Too many people do not get their COVID infection addressed early.\u00a0 There remains too little use of monoclonal antibodies early for infected people.\u00a0 So their infection progresses to serious lung and breathing problems.\u00a0 That is the beginning of the end.<\/p>\n

And it will be a long time before the new antiviral drugs from Pfizer and Merck are broadly available and there will be more information on whether they are really safe and effective for all diverse types of people.<\/p>\n

In hospitals, patients with breathing problems and upper respiratory distress are giving medical actions that may address pain but inevitably lead to death, often after many weeks in the ICU.\u00a0 They get the useless and harmful drug remdesivir, supplemental oxygen, steroids, and are intubated, put on a ventilator and usually put into a coma.\u00a0 And eventually they die and become another COVID statistic.<\/p>\n

It has been\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the death rate for COVID patients prescribed remdesivir (26%) exceeds the fatality rate of COVID patients prescribed ivermectin, which is recorded by the Medicare database at 7.2%.\u00a0 And it has documented serious side effects.<\/p>\n

In a few successful\u00a0court actions<\/a>, such late stage COVID patients were given the cheap, safe generic IVM and \u2013 much to the astonishment of hospital doctors \u2013 have walked out of the hospital, completely recovered.<\/p>\n

And there is considerable\u00a0medical research literature<\/a>\u00a0supporting such use of IVM, principally because of its anti-inflammatory property.\u00a0 As just one example, a\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0medical 2021 hospital study found nearly a 50% reduction in deaths for patients with severe pulmonary involvement, the typical late stage COVID death-bed patient condition.\u00a0 The many doubters of IVM should pay more attention to the medical science literature.<\/p>\n

But published medical articles are ignored by the medical and public health establishments.<\/p>\n

To be clear, a majority of hospitalized COVID patients have diabetes, are obese or have other serious underlying medical conditions.\u00a0 But though they get hospital attention, they do not all become late stage COVID patients with deadly breathing and lung problems.\u00a0 And the omicron variant is known to not be like delta; it does not attack lungs in the same way.\u00a0 And delta is still active and deadly.<\/p>\n

Hospital shame<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hospitals stubbornly refuse to honor the\u00a0few court decisions<\/a>\u00a0directing them to give death-bed late COVID stage patients a chance of surviving by administering ivermectin.\u00a0 Hospitals use an army of lawyers and every dirty legal trick to overturn or delay those few court decisions that reach the sensible conclusion that there is nothing to lose by using ivermectin.<\/p>\n

Indeed, here is the ugly truth: Hospital protocols for late stage COVID patients have nearly a one hundred percent record of failure.\u00a0 Their patients suffer and then die.\u00a0 Families desperate to get ivermectin used usually fail and watch their loved ones die.<\/p>\n

This is a medical disgrace.\u00a0 This is the power of corporate medicine.\u00a0 This situation exemplifies the loss of medical freedom.\u00a0 This is the epitome of medical tyranny.\u00a0 This is a total loss of medical ethics.\u00a0 This is an extreme example of doctors failing to live up to their Hippocratic Oath.\u00a0 They follow hospital rules and let their patients die without trying what has a medical justification.\u00a0 Without doing what other doctors have successfully done.<\/p>\n

Apparently, that weekly death total is not enough to push hospitals and doctors to use what\u00a0several nations have used<\/a>\u00a0to curb the COVID pandemic and save many millions of lives.<\/p>\n

Hospital care arguments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider this paradox and hypocrisy.\u00a0 Virtually all hospitals put a priority on\u00a0patient centered care<\/a>.\u00a0 Patient-centered care focuses on the patient and the individual’s particular health care needs. \u00a0The goal of patient-centered health care is to empower patients to become active participants in their care.<\/p>\n

Clearly, denying patient and family pleas for using ivermectin for people facing death is totally inconsistent with this philosophy and hospital commitment.<\/p>\n

Add to all this that demanding all patients use a one-size-fits-all medical treatment or hospital protocol is also counter to personalized medicine, long the hallmark of medicine.\u00a0 Doctors need the freedom to use what suits their patient rather than what the government dictates or accepting what it withholds.<\/p>\n

Court actions to get hospitals allowing IVM use might be more successful if both patient centered care and personalized medicine arguments were presented to judges.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time to let those who want to use ivermectin in an attempt to save their life get it.\u00a0 It is medically and morally the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

With now a long record of hospital protocols for late stage COVID utterly failing to save lives, how can the medical profession justify not using a generic medicine that both research and clinical results justify and explain its ability to save lives?<\/p>\n

They cannot.<\/p>\n

Families trying to find a lawyer and a friendly court face a very, very difficult race to save their loved one stuck in the ICU just like a prisoner sentenced to death.<\/p>\n

Is it COVID killing these people or the medical profession and their hospital employers?\u00a0 Worth pondering as you keep watching mounting COVID death numbers.<\/p>\n
