A judge in Ohio ordered a hospital to treat a Covid-19 patient with ivermectin, despite warnings from experts that the anti-parasitic drug has not proved effective against the virus and can be dangerous in large doses. Gregory Howard, a judge in Butler county, outside Cincinnati, ordered doctors at West Chester hospital to administer ivermectin to Jeffrey Smith, 51, who contracted Covid-19 in July and was transferred to intensive care.
“My husband is on death’s doorstep,” Julie Smith wrote in court documents. “He has no other options.” A doctor outside the hospital was willing to prescribe the drug but the hospital refused to administer it.

Right to try. But ivermectin, which works, should be given early. Still, if they can't fix him, what do they have to lose? The judge called this right. Too bad the man couldn't have been treated with it right away. Ivermectin worked very well on me, so I know it works.

Too large a dosage of any medicine can certainly cause problems ...great advice from the FDA .

How many are aware that the Bar Association of India has sued the WHO chief doctor in their country for the deaths of many thousands because her tweets caused one state in India to temporarily stop using ivermectin, and cost many lives?
If the Bar Association of India is successful at getting an indictment, she could be sentenced to death for mass murder.
But - most of the global media is censoring this news, desperate to just make it 'go away'.

The FDA, which cares very much for the American people but cares even more for profits of favored pharma companies, restricts availability of human-grade ivermectin formulated in the appropriate doses. Desperate people then under-dose or over-dose themselves when guessing how much paste to squeeze from tubes designed to dose horses, then also guess at the dosing schedule, and when it doesn't work right, the FDA says this proves that ivermectin does not work. Good Americans know this as Trusting The Science.

It’s hard to express how angering this is, and remain in bounds of Lucianne’s language filters.

why the he!! does a judge have to tell a doctor that medication should be given to help a person live. What ever happened to the oath of a doctor to help people. What happened to "where there is life, there is hope!" There is just NO respect for life anymore!

This is almost unbelievable. Did these doctors study at the Joseph Mengele Institute?
What has happened to the medical profession? Ignorance or evil?

In the beginning, some were getting Invermectin as treatment and doing fine. Then suddenly a law was passed forbidding anyone from being prescribed the drug. Now why would the United States of America ban a drug that has been safely used, in humans, for decades? Because it works. I read somewhere, just once, that when the flu hit India, they immediately prescribed Invermectin. Never heard another word about the flu in India. This drug just has the misfortune of being cheap. Pharmaceuticals wouldn't have made a dime off of it.

It's gotten to the point that we need a judge to order a hospital to give someone a med which would help him?

Too late to be effective so the results will be touted as the drug doesn't work.

Misleading headline. Judge ordered hospital to let the guy's doctor administer Ivermectin. The guy's wife had to sue because the hospital bureaucrats wouldn't allow the doctor to do that. And there are some reports that even late stage application of ivermectin is beneficial. In some cases, what do they have to lose by trying it?
For the lying / disinformation about ivermectin, take a look at the countries in Africa that have populations regularly taking ivermectin because of endemic disease that ivermectin can treat, and their kung flu deaths compared to the North and South parts of Africa where there isn't as prevalent. Big difference which certainly provides correlation, indicating a need to determine cause.

If Americans had access to inexpensive drugs they could pick up at the pharmacy and take at home, like they do with tens of thousands of other prescription drugs, imagine what our lives would be like.
Politicians, bless their hearts. have gotten into telling doctors and pharmacists what they can prescribe and dispense for Covid19 infections. With the help of self-serving government bureaucrats, they have decreed that prevention, via vaccinations, masks, hand washing and social distancing are the only way citizens should be allowed to deal with the virus. We're told the virus works, but it turns out it might not work as well as they thought it did. Hence the break through infections. So now they're talking about ordering booster shots.
As a fully vaccinated adult, I would prefer that politicians get out of the way now and leave it to patients and doctors to decide how to deal with an infection the vaccine didn't prevent after all.

Meant to say the vaccine works...not the virus. Sorry.

I read the article that mentions ivermectin is used for horses. If a man wants to try it for himself, he simply should calibrate the amount according to the equivalency of his body weight to that of a horse. A 180-lb man could try just 18% of the dosage for a 1000-pound horse. At his own risk, of course. The unfortunate bloke in England who died using the worm medicine for horses most likely did not do the math.

Gads, what a horrid piece of jouranlistic propaganda! Horse medicine??? Yes, but it was first developed for humans and has been given to millions of people all over the world. It is administered by weight. The FLCCC guidelines advise 0.2-0.4mg/kg per dose - once a day for 5 days if you are sick. If a person weighs 150 to170 pounds that would be 15 - 30 mg per dose. I think it was IVM that saved that woman's life up in New York a few months back. Her daughter had to sue the hospital also - the medicine worked and she lived.
