When an anti-vaxxer shows up at a hospital with Covid....

They should give them Ivermectin (as much as they want) and send them home.

1. I think they should just direct them to the nearest farmstore for the Ivermectin.

These are people who would sue if given the chance, after all.

2. I understand the sentiment, but "THEY" would risk loss of license and potential malpractice

lawsuits. Not to mention violating their own oath and ethics.

3. if patients refuse offered treatment the docs are off the hook. discharge patients who

refuse offered treatment and they can get another more compliant doc nt

4. The poster is not stating the case of patients refusing medical care & leaving AMA, but rather

wanting the discharging physician to prescribe ivermectin for them on their way out the door. Very different. Particularly since the dose of ivermectin that the original LAB ONLY IN-VITRO studies showed to be effective are 100x normal dose and thus enter into toxicity range.


BTW, patients who are not able to depart on their own physical "steam," nor able to sign their own AMA are still the responsibility of the hospital and treating physician and staff, all who can face major Federal and civil liability consequences if someone, including a family member, removes them from the hospital in critical condition sans a court order. It simply isn't as simple as saying "fine, then bye!"

5. I was mostly blowing off steam....

After listening to a story about someone's father that nearly died because the antivaxxers were taking up all the ICU beds in their state. But it's the way I feel. I don't seriously expect MD's to act that way. But I don't see a problem giving the covidiots ivermectin, so long as they sign a waiver saying they are taking the medication against medical advice and with the understanding that insurance may not cover it.

6. I understand. Still important to realize physicians are getting it from both sides, especially

in hospitals tremendously overloaded (which is most of them now).

It is a truly horrible time to be in healthcare delivery (or public health).

7. I was in the local farm supply store today

To get my fall supply of horse wormer (I have 2 horses and a pony)

The ivermectin shelf, which generally has around 100 boxes, was empty

I bought a different type of wormer, because it is good to rotate what is used …

and several other horse related items …

I went to check out and asked the young woman if people were really taking ivermectin, as the shelf was empty … she said that she thought they were …

I said it was a stupid thing to do, as it would probably destroy their intestinal tract …

Her response was …

It’s a case of natural selection
