RE: Huge difference between Mrs West “testing positive” and LTC West getting quite ill, being hospitalized with 85% spO2 and requiring supplemental oxygen. As pretty much ALL freepers agree, “cases are meaningless”, only hospitalizations and deaths matter.
This still ignores the many cases of fully vaccinated individuals being hospitalized with Covid ( one colleague of mine is an example ). Israel had so many fully vaccinated people hospitalized that they are now mandating a third booster shot ( and even contemplating a fourth ).
So, to say that those many doctors who recommend the use of Ivermectin for prophylaxis are snake oil salesmen simply because Lt. Col. West was infected despite using it ignores the many cases of fully vaccinated individuals hospitalized with Covid as well. Why the double standard?
The physician proponents of Ivermectin never guaranteed a 100% protection, only a high chance of it. That’s not peddling snake oil.
He showed he isn’t rational when he said that ivermectin and vitamin d were ineffective for West. It’s not possible to compare West’s condition to what it would have been had he had a vitamin d deficiency and not taken ivermectin.
That said, given the vitamin d craze, I bet many people have vitamin d excess and that makes them weaker against the wuhan coronavirus.
