Apparently, it’s just too much to be asked to treat COVID before people get desperately ill.
One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination. We have been told for almost two years that COVID is a deadly disease. Naturally, when people test positive for COVID, they want to be treated to avoid serious illness. Instead, they are sent home to quarantine, with no medical treatment until they become seriously ill.
Some patients take exception to this approach and ask for ivermectin, which is being used outside of the United States to treat early COVID. There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.
Doctors are not taking kindly to the suggestion that patients should have access to medication that can prevent serious illness. They are denouncing ivermectin as a veterinary drug as if they were not aware that it was developed for human use, that the FDA approved it for human use back in the 1990s, and that almost 4 billion doses have been administered around the world in the past 30 years. It’s true ivermectin was developed to treat parasites, not viruses, and that it is used for livestock as well as humans. However, there are a number of life-saving medications that are not being used for their original purpose.

As already stated, it’s largely about keeping their job.
It’s obviously not a case of “Let me sell you a shot of vaccine for $1000 which I can put in my pocket”. It’s a much deeper game than that.
The CDC, FDA, and Big Pharma put pressure on state boards, hospitals and professional organizations to make sure doctors are “behaving properly” — which means “recommending vaccines”. Doctors who don’t play along can get into serious trouble. Some have had the courage to take a stand against vaccines, but most decide not to rock the boat.
*** Note to honorable health care professionals: Get creative. Go concierge. ***
I have a concierge doctor for my Mom. He gets paid $$$ every month and aside from her once a year labs, EKG, etc, I utilize his services 2 or 3 times a year for her.
He certainly seems more willing to listen to my input than the regular doctors she has had in the past.
The goal is to avoid lawsuits for prescribing an off-label drug for a disease that may well result in death of chronic sickness that for many doctors have been advised not to prescribe by their medical group.
You know, the same crew clamoring for lawsuits for every perceived vaccine adverse effect against US pharmaceutical companies that were once driven offshore by blood-sucking lawyers.
Numbers mean absolutely nothing without other factors being registered as well and those would include comorbidity factors such as obesity, diabetes, age pulmonary issues, age, you get the idea.
At risk patients exist.
Throwing numbers out there hoping they’ll stick, is idiotic. The other mitigating factors which are patient health-related are discussed and glossed over but never correlated with the data itself which makes the data meaningless other than a death count.
The PREP Act immunized prescribers of approved countermeasures only.
Providers who stick to that formulary, regardless of what’s best for an individual patient, work for the state, not for the patient.
Thalidomide was NEVER approved by the FDA for use in pregnant women. Fake news.
Far too many doctors suffer from the “me god” complex and I treat them back accordingly by referring to them as ‘Dr Quack Quack’ with degrees in quackery.
Comedy is dead. Medicine is dead. Education is dead. The list of institutions that Progressivism destroys and corrupts grows larger. The beat goes on.
With thalidomide, most of the damage happened in Europe. The FDA called this one right and did not authorize it. But the point made by Diogenesis is valid. There is real danger in allowing and promoting untested drugs — wherever it happens. And this is happening here, right now with connivance of our own United States FDA.
No one knows what the mid to long term side effects of the “vaccine” will be. Some respected scientists are predicting a dire outcome.

too many corporate quacks
not enough doctors
“Most older docs are disgusted with the CDC and FDA and encourage their patients to take HCQ”
Not here in eastern TN, where you’d hope for sanity and conservatism. They’re Nazis when it comes to vaccines, and you’re met with scorn and derision if you say the word, “ivermectin”.
I’m not sure, but I think their medical credentials are being held hostage. Never again will it be about healthcare; politics is the name of the game.
Last week, an ER doctor told me “Good!” when I told her I was taking ivermectin. Then I tried to track her down later hoping to change my PCP to her, but she’s strictly ER and doesn’t take patients. She said that when she’s written prescriptions for IVR, pharmacists won’t fill them.
The Medical Community has abdicated their traditional role in treatment of COVID from a laser focus on patient safety and validation of treatment efficacy to political advocacy.
I am fully cognizant that there are many medical organizations that have done this due to the threat of lawfare and malpractice threats, but I view the surrender of the role of a proxy advocate for patients themselves as morally unsound.
“First, do no harm” has been ignored.
Doctors need to quit horsin around. They are owned by the government, because their license to practice can get pulled if they don’t toe the government line.
“How does a doctor make more money not treating a sick patient but instead encouraging them to get a free vaccine at a clinic or pharmacy?”
They make more money through kick-backs. They make money by being allowed to continue to work. I hope they burn inn hell for ignoring their Hypocratic oath.
BTW, vaccines aren’t “free”.
Not vaxxed.
All mild illness.
2 others at work had it.
Sicker, but not terribly.
Both vaxxed.
None were given any theraputics.
All were told to go home and go to the ER if you can't breathe.
“She told me doctors who gave out ‘misinformation’ or prescribed forbidden drugs were subject to losing their licenses.”
And there you have it.
Where are the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say it’s perfect safe and almost 100% efficacy?
Wanna bet the people who lost their sense of smell after CoupFlu were denied early treatment, too?
I know people who’ve had the coof.
Everyone who’s experiencing anosmia was denied early treatment.
Everyone who got early treatment, no anosmia.
