Unlike HCQ which is only effective as early treatment (stage 1), Ivermectin has been shown effective at all stages of a Wuhan virus infection. Many countries have been using this drug along with Zinc and vitamin D3 as both treatment as prophylaxis for healthcare workers as well as the close contacts, usually household members, of a person who has tested positive.
Yet, in Clown world, which includes America, the "experts" are still doing the anti-science that is lockdowns, masks and currently experimental 'vaccines". Big Tech companies have been acting as propaganda arms and enforcers for the elites by banning people for stating facts and "questioning" WHO, CDC and other "experts" as if "questioning" isn't how science is actually done.
This brings me to the following report out of Buffalo:
A judge ordered Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital last week to give a Covid-19 patient an experimental treatment, and her family and attorneys say they believe that saved 80-year-old Judith Smentkiewicz's life.
The drug Ivermectin – a pill sometimes used to treat children with head lice or to rid dogs and cats of worms – is not yet approved by the federal government for use against Covid-19. But Smentkiewicz's son and daughter call it “a miracle drug” in their court papers.
So do her attorneys, Ralph C. Lorigo and Jon F. Minear.
“This lady was on a ventilator, literally on her deathbed, before she was given this drug,” Lorigo told The Buffalo News about Smentkiewicz, a Cheektowaga resident. “As far as we’re concerned, the judge’s order saved this woman’s life.”
A physician went against the family's wishes. That's strike one. Two, he refused to give medication that is known to be safe and has been in regular use for decades because of his politics. And understand it is nothing shorter than that. At this point there cannot be a medical professional that has NOT heard of Ivermectin and hence to not use it, particularly on a dying patient is, as far as I'm concerned criminal malpractice.
That it took a judge to order the doctor to do his job is troubling to say the least.
Dr. Thomas A. Russo, one of the region’s leading experts on infectious diseases, said he was glad to hear that Smentkiewicz is doing better, but he said people should never jump to conclusions about Ivermectin or any other drug based on one patient’s outcome.
He is not an expert.
“In less than 48 hours, my mother was taken off the ventilator, transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit, sitting up on her own and communicating,” Kulbacki said in a court affidavit.
This is not a one off. Again there are countries worldwide that use this drug and they have recovery rates in the 90 percentile. The US where Wuhan has been grossly politicized, recoveries are in the 50 percent range.
“While there are approved uses for Ivermectin in people and animals, it is not approved for the prevention or treatment of Covid-19,” the federal agency says on its website. “You should not take any medicine to treat or prevent Covid-19 unless it has been prescribed to you by your health care provider and acquired from a legitimate source … Additional testing is needed to determine whether Ivermectin might be appropriate to prevent or treat coronavirus or Covid-19.”The FDA and CDC can fuck off entirely.
