COVID Stupid

[hulugu]

Rolling Stone isn't really the problem. It is when other supposed real journalists like Maddow tweet it to her 10.5M followers. Rolling Stone did the correct thing and issued an update, but Maddow will never update the tweet or send the correction.

The other issue I see with this media push to link Ivermectin with horse dewormer is that Ivermectin one of the most prescribed anti-parasitic medicines in the world. So imagine someone who has be infected with roundworm and the Dr. says they are going to prescribe Ivermectin and the person freaks because the media told them it was horse dewormer. The media as a whole needs to be more responsible.

Ivermectin is a useful anti-parasitic, but the formula that people are regularly buying from veterinarians and large animals hospitals is horse dewormer and sheep-dip. It's accurate to say that people who buy the paste from the large animal food store are taking horse dewormer.

There's a different formula for people.

And, there's vanishingly little evidence that Ivermectin actually works. One meta-study was withdrawn, and there are other signs that its totally ineffective.

So, who should bear responsibility is the people selling an ineffective and dangerous solution that's increasingly expensive—and making it hard for people to care for their animals to boot—when they should be pushing the free and safe vaccine? The right-wing media who left reality years ago and are now selling snake oil and bullshit.

You do realize this story has been debunked, right. Totally false.

Thanks for pointing that out... Kind of a shame too, because taking a horse dose of ivermectin IS dangerous. Rolling Stone needs to consider whether they want to continue employing the author of the article. When you get something like that wrong, it gives ammunition to people trying to argue that Ivermectin is safe to take without a prescription, in horse dosage… which it is not.

Wasn’t it farm supply outlets that it was suggested as a place to buy this medication by some brilliant Right Wing mouth pieces (Without a prescription)?

No idea about that. Lord I hope not.

Now we have judges ordering hospitals to administer ivermectin:

Judge orders Cinci hospital to treat COVID-19 patient with Ivermectin, despite CDC warnings • Ohio Capital Journal

A Butler County judge ruled in favor of a woman last week who sought to force a hospital to administer Ivermectin — an animal dewormer that federal regulators have warned against using in COVID-19 patients — to her husband after several weeks in the ICU with the disease. Butler County Common...

ohiocapitaljournal.com

Hopefully, this decision will be appealed and struck down forcefully by a higher court. But if it stands, patients will bring similar lawsuits every time some new, untested therapy is proposed. I realize that courts sometimes get involved in medical care decisions, as for example when they order therapy for children over their parent's objections. But this is dangerous. Every sane healthcare provider and professional organization should speak out against this ruling.

BTW, I know and hope that medications indicated for other conditions may turn out to be effective against COVID-19. Hundreds are in various stages of clinical investigation. But until they have a demonstrable risk:benefit profile in well-conducted studies, it's harmful to evangelize their use, and it's even more harmful to compel it.

Reversed. Judge citing advisories from FDA and CDC etc. Obviously a deep state activist judge, right?

Judge says Ohio hospital cannot be forced to give ivermectin, reversing earlier decision

"Public policy should not and does not support allowing physicians to try 'any' type of treatment on human beings," the judge wrote.

www.nbcnews.com

In an 11-page decision, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Michael Oster Jr. wrote that there “was no doubt that the medical and scientific communities do not support the use of ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19.”

“While this court is sympathetic to the plaintiff and understands the idea of wanting to do anything to help her loved one, public policy should not and does not support allowing physicians to try ‘any’ type of treatment on human beings,” he wrote.

I think this is a very good ruling. After all, what if your relative believes in this therapy from “What About Bob?” Will the judge force a doctor to try it?

”Death Therapy - It’s a guaranteed cure!”

Man in Vietnam Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Spreading Covid-19

The man has been linked to at least eight illnesses and one death.

gizmodo.com

A man in Vietnam has been sentenced to five years in prison after he broke strict covid-19 quarantine rules in the country, contracting the disease in a large city and bringing it back to his rural hometown. The man’s actions have been linked to eight illnesses and one death from covid-19.

Le Van Tri, a 28-year-old man from the province of Ca Mau, was convicted this week of “spreading dangerous infectious diseases,” according to the state-run Vietnam News Agency and Australia’s ABC News.

Tri reportedly traveled by motorcycle to Ho Chi Minh City and back to Ca Mau in early July against Vietnam’s strict coronavirus rules. Anyone traveling between regions is supposed to self-quarantine for 21 days, something Tri failed to do. Tri also reportedly lied to authorities when they asked about his travel history.

Ca Mau has reported just 191 cases of covid-19 and two deaths from the disease since the pandemic began, making Tri’s actions all the more egregious. Tri was fined roughly $880 in addition to his five year prison sentence, according to Yahoo News.

I'm not 100% sure that'd be legal, considering that housing could be considered one of the base necessities, and what you do in your private residence doesn't necessarily effect the community at large.

Just got off of a work call where one guy said his son went to see the new Shang-Chi movie on Friday and is now sick, going to get a test today. We also have two others who couldn't join because they do have COVID. The appetite for a lockdown is over but the virus doesn't care and nobody seems to be concerned with the burden on the healthcare system.
