Texas hospital system bans ivermectin
for COVID patients as their families
demand 'wonder drug'

A Texas hospital system imposed "new restriction criteria" on the use of ivermectin, excluding the anti-parasitic agent from treatment of COVID-19. St. Luke's Health will only allow its infectious disease physicians to use the drug for preventive treatment of strongyloidiasis, a roundworm infection, according to a Sept. 2 directive shared with Just the News. Its wording suggests that non-infectious disease physicians had been considering or actually prescribing ivermectin for COVID patients. The relatively cheap treatment has been promoted by an eclectic group of influencers. Evolutionary biologist and former Evergreen State College professor Bret Weinstein has regularly touted ivermectin on his DarkHorse podcast, which led YouTube to demonetize his channel.

Nothing "medical" about this decision. It is purely political. Follow the money!!

It will be interesting to see if Abbot crawls up somebody's exhaust pipe about this. All you have to do is look at the Indian provinces and Africa where ivermectin is in full use. There ain't any covid! Our government is responsible for this and I hope I live long enough to see some people, actually a lot of people, convicted for a range of mass crimes.

I would certainly take my loved one to another hospital. A friend's daughter passed away because she was misdiagnosed at a small hospital. I have no idea if this place is small or not. What is wrong with these doctors?

From what I understand, when you have to be hospitalized, it is really too late for early treatment ivermectin.

Probably triggered by the Ohio case where the wife got a court order that required the hospital to give her husband ivermectin. (Ironically, the patient’s wife ended up changing her mind.) If you read the article you’ll find out more details. May not be an outright ban. May not have been prescribed by any doctor so far. Worth a read.

Joe Rogan says that he tested positive on a Sunday and was feeling pretty good by monday. He had treatment the rest of us just wish we could afford. He also said the Japanese Medical Association recommended it. AND that the provisional use of the vaccine is based on there being no treatment for the disease.

My cousin was diagnosed with Covid 2 months ago and discharged out of the Nocona,TX hospital with Ivermectin and 3 vitamins. She returned 24 hours in a worsening condition, admitted and kept on the Ivermevtin, 3 vitamins, melatonin, Lovenox, and Remdisavir. No need for an internist, virologist to prescribe. Monday I begin my hunt for prophylactic Ivermectin. My pharmacist has encouraged me to do so.

They say "...warns against self-medication with the animal version of ivermectin, which is stronger than the human version." Look, you obnoxious, self important horse's hind ends, there are plenty of us "poor fools" out here who are actually capable of doing the math to get a proper human dose of ivermectin from a horse dose of the gel. We are not all ignorant children for you superior brains to take care of, especially when you are LYING to us, and literally KILLING people with your either incompetent lack of looking fairly at the data, or corrupt willingness to kill people to improve Pfizer's profits.

Drugs can certainly be repurposed. Thalidomide which caused grave birth defects back in the 50’s is used to treat leprosy and Multiple Myeloma. I know because it put mine in remission. But my hematologist thinks I’m crazy for asking about Ivermectin. It’s all politics. Everyone is involved. We are on our on I’m afraid.

We are on our own folks! The medical community has chosen their god, (the CDC) and their bible, (the CDC protocol) over the best interest of the patients. Between Methodist firing their employees for refusing the vaccine and now this, the best medical care in the south is no longer in the Houston medical center.

The issue is simple: Ivermectin now has been widely prescribed and used by medical officers and doctors in the field and on actual Covid patients. In countries where the vaccines are not widely available. or not at, all it has been the only treatment available. Reports claim that the Delta outbreak which was expected to devastate and decimate (i.e. a 140 million deaths prediction) has been brought under reasonable control (death rate 2/3's that of the USA despite four times the population) by the widespread use of the cheap off the shelf immediately available ivermectin. The Question is therefore "HAS IT WORKED OR NOT?" and if it has, why the the universal obsession by the Medical Authorities, especially in the "developed West" to malign it in order to maintain their (Experimental) Vaccines ONLY Regines? As the lawyers would say "CUI BONO?" For whose benefit?.

Abbott should have crawled up the exhaust pipe of his Director of HHS a long time ago. Had a coworker get symptomatic Covid and was treated with Ivermectin and returned to work with no problems. Another poster is right. The medical institutions are systemically tied to federal and state dollars. What a web we have weaved.

I guess we should have expected this to happen. COVID is over. The pandemic is over. The arsenal to combat it or deal with its symptoms is substantial. It’s endemic. Natural immunity is a real thing. It has a 99-plus percent survival rate. It’s time to end ALL the mandates. No more masks. No insane and creepy obsession with penetrating the masses with the COVID vaccine. Enough. The truckers in Canada get it. They were cleared off the Ambassador Bridge during the Super Bowl yesterday, but they’re still honking in Ottawa. In the US, there’s a freedom convoy revving up here as well. The destination being Washington DC.

The approval of a statue honoring Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that could soon be erected in the Georgia State Capitol has infuriated some black Democrats whose party loyalty prevents them from acknowledging the accomplishments of a conservative African-American who rose to the pinnacle of his profession. Last week, the state’s Republican-controlled Senate voted along party lines to approve the tribute to Justice Thomas, a man who was born and raised near Savannah before going on to serve for over three decades on the nation’s highest court where he remains as a bulwark against the worst excesses of liberalism.

Most “either/or” questions are designed to make you choose, but sometimes the correct answer is “both.” When dealing with someone like President Joe Biden, it’s not always possible to know the answer to a simple question: is this man stupid, or is he just a liar? There is ample evidence of both, almost always, but the exact tilt of a scale and in which direction it points for the majority is not always clear. As such, you are sometimes left wondering which it is, but there is little doubt it is at least one and usually some combination of both. So what has me asking this?

Does Joe Biden simply not get it? The Russians are not scared of you. They see everything. They see your mind is oatmeal. They see Jill holding your hand because you don’t know where you are anymore. They see you simply cannot do the job. Everyone saw the shambolic exit out of Afghanistan. Now, Biden’s people say that an invasion is imminent. They’ve been saying this for weeks. Are they right or not? I don’t know, but with the endless stream of bad news and no accomplishments that have marked this Biden presidency, I bet they’re hoping for a war.

A surprisingly large share of Democrats wants to see Hillary Clinton investigated over her possible role in manufacturing dirt to try to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, a new poll shows. The survey, conducted by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics in New Jersey last month, polled 1,308 Americans about the mushrooming investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into the FBI’s probe of Trump’s alleged links to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. Nearly three out of four of those polled who are following the story said they think it’s important prosecutors investigate Clinton for her role in the Russiagate scandal along with her top campaign advisers.

Former White House adviser and Donald Trump son-in-law Jared Kusher has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work as a leading negotiator of the Abraham Accords. The accords — a series of groundbreaking normalization agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain — were among former President Trump’s most significant foreign-policy achievements. The nomination was submitted by Long Island GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin — who also nominated Kushner’s deputy Avi Berkowitz. “The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, represent the most significant diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and Arab nations in decades,” Zeldin wrote in his nomination, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

Under President Biden, the FDA, which had for decades advocated for the use of inexpensive generic drugs whenever possible, is suddenly inaudible and has even spoken out against inexpensive, widely available generic drugs that likely ameliorate COVID symptoms, even though these drugs have decades of safety data behind them. There are two leading explanations for this otherwise inexplicable turn of events: politics and money. Let’s start with politics. Under Biden, the FDA has made it very clear for over two years that they do not approve of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19, saying there is “insufficient data.”
