I think, but I’m not entirely sure, that gasdr was an anesthesiologist and he was very against ivermectin. To his credit, he did provide information about how to calculate the correct dosage of the drug. He said he wasn’t in favor of using the drug but he didn’t want people to take the wrong amount.
He was an anesthesiologist, but I don’t remember that he hated ivermectin. I think it was more about timing of ivermectin in the hospital after a patient was in full blown problems and going downhill fast. It wasn’t a saving grace.
He also hated remdesivir. We all know why. “Run…death is near!”
Full disclosure, hubby and I both got the first two inoculations (Moderna) because we were emotionally blackmailed into getting them, so that we could meet and hold our first newly born grandson. Those were the only two we ever got. Our kids finally stopped nagging us about them. They knew I didn’t want the first two, so they stopped making our relationship deteriorate, which would’ve happened had they continued to press me.
Gas_dr was the reason I finally acquiesced to the shots. There was a lot of peer pressure. He walked me through what to expect,
I am an anesthesiologist and a critical care physician. I was against Ivermectin based on experience. I tried it numerous times early on, and even when the hospital board demanded and removed the drug from formulary, I fought is successfully all the way to the regulatory boards in my state.
It was my experience and my judgment that ivermectin was largely ineffecitve in the critically ill, and when monoclonal antibodies became available, that is where i saw many successes and where i subsequently advocated.
And eventhough i disagreed with the treatment, of course i gave the safe information, becasue i think people have a right to try what they would like, just as I have a right to prescribe or not prescribe according to my medical license and knwoledge.
