17 years working in a major metro hospital makes me agree that working the ICU sucks. I only did IT support, and I can tell you that. Your statement, though, belies your efforts to push the COVID narrative, though. It ignores the fact that these stories DO all sound the same, and have propaganda written all over them.
In all seriousness, it's hard to follow all the back and forth on this, so I am asking out of a position of honestly not knowing. Do you advocate the lower cost prophylactics and early treatments as part of the response regime, or are you in the camp that only the Poke and ventilators are the answer?
Neither. The vaccine is an individual decision. I am against vaccinating those under 18 for now. If kids start to get really ill from this I would relook at it but right. is there is no reason to. Men 18 to 30 need to carefully weigh their risks and benefits with the small but real incidence of myocarditis. Everyone else needs to also look at their risk/benefit but the older you are with additional risk factors the more the vaccine makes sense.
I am for early treatment with monoclonal antibody therapy for those at risk. It can now be used prophylactically in some situations; the earlier the better. Steroids (decadron) should also be started early. Hospitalization
and ICU care for those that need it with escalating treaments including remdesivir and tociluzimab. More treatments are being
developed so more to come.
HCQ andivermectin? I don’t recommend them as no clear evidence they help. They don’t hurt either unless taking them causes someone to delay care, which could be a problem. Could they offer some benefit? - I think that will be teased out over time with large scale studies but they are not a magic bullet or a cure.
