I have thought a fair amount about this thread and read it thoroughly.
First. Let me say your voice on this thread is invaluable. If demonstrates the group think that exists and I note it’s the same people posting the same opinions on the same way.
But then it hit me. The title of the vanity is give us snd and our doctors ivermectin and HCQ/azithromycin.
And the simple and unassailable fact is this. We as physicians have those drugs. I can prescribe them. I even know the pharmacies that fill them. I am prescribed them in the past for this disease. We all want something simple that works. The reason it so not widespread is because these meds do not work at least in the way the other side hopes these meds work.
I am sure there will be attacks that we or I am beholden to the usual boogie men. Big Pharma doesn’t push things on me. There is no rep in my hospital demanding I use any product. The CDC doesn’t have people in my hospital monitoring us. I do not live in fear of living my license for my judgments.
People seem to confuse the right to try with the duty to act. A patient can demand what they want but if in my judgment it won’t work or is dangerous I am not compelled to order the treatment. And the danger with ivermectin is that it delays precious time that monoclonal can be administered. People are hanging their hat on marginal treatments and delaying getting to targeted treatment that everyone agrees works. The monoclonals.
So we have these drugs. The reason they are bit more readily used is because they don it work to the standard what we who treat would want it to work and we have good alternatives. I took an oath to first do no harm. In my judgment using HCQ or ivermectin when I can get people to monoclonals violates that oath
