How many times have I read this? > “I am 78 and got it and had sniffles for a few days..it is nothing but the flu”

You've read that a lot because for so many it is not serious. Judging by the picture, however, her obesity killed her when COVID set in. What people seem to be treating as a joke is the comorbidities of obesity and the illnesses that spring from it as being deadly combinations.

Because of the quarantine; nobody is allowed into that hospital room.

Another avenue, “discharge against orders” could be done to get them home

And some folks have put their family member on hospice and gotten them home that way, where Ivermectin etc could be given to them by the family member.

I’d have taken it. Little to no risk.

When my husband recently went in for an emergency appendectomy, he stashed 5 days worth of ivm (along with zinc, etc) in his pocket “just in case” he ended up with covid and stuck in the hospital. I was able to stay with him in recovery, but if he had covid, I would not have been allowed to see him.

The hospital is likely,not allowing them in to see their parents- once admitted, that’s it- we had a fella,in townmget covid, ended up in hospital, and his wife was not allowed to visit him while he lay there dying. And once In mthere, the hospitals,may very well think they own the patient and can dictate that someone trying to remove them from their care is a criminal

There s,a,special spot reserved in hell for all the demon driven medical care maggots that are doing these despicable things to families!

“...but is not an anti-viral..”

That is an outright lie. It’s on labeling does not indicate such usage but many articles have been published showing research that affirms it has such properties. Meaning there is no reason (beyond financial considerations) to ban the off label use of the drug as an antiviral. It is very common for docs to write prescriptions and treat patients with medications that are not formally approved for the ailment being treated.

THE person responsible here is the Hospital Administrator. The one in charge of policy and direction of what they contend is the approved protocol. DOXX them more, condemn them and things might improve.

Ivermectin doesn’t work once covid is in the lungs. Hospital should say sure, and give it just to make the patient and family feel like they’ve done something. But it’s about as affective as a placebo. But you know what actually prevents serious covid and is recommended for all people fat and old? Hmmm I wonder.

Fat and

One more thing that we lost during 2020/2022: control over our life and death. One more thing that the government gained during 2020/2022: control over our life and death through the healthcare system.

Once they get a power, they never let go. It’s here to stay, and now you will see hospitals more and more sending you to a quiet room to die, to pull the plug, and to administer drugs that kill you.

With thanks to Rush, “Don’t doubt me”.

I just tried to order a couple more tubes from a place that I have bought from in the past. They emailed back and denied more order. They say they are saving it for the horse industry. How do they know that I don’t have a horse? The devil is tempting me to lie to them.

My friend had taken 5 days of ivermectin but still had to be taken to ER. Also was given steroids and antibiotics 3 days before O2 dropped very low — to 75 — and was hospitalized. Tested positive for Covid and also pneumonia. 🙏

WV doctors have been forbidden to prescribe it.
Massive penalities if they dare to.

This late in the course of CoVID Viagra is a better choice because it was developed as a ventilator drug. Recent story of late resurrection from coma using Viagra this past week.

No necessarily true. Ivermectin is more effective given early, but studies show there is 40% improvement in late stages (73 studies, range 25-53%) https://ivmmeta.com/. Compare that to Remdesivir which only shows a 20% improvement on average, but is being used extensively https://c19rmd.com/

There are success stories I’m the news as well:
