=== Ivermectin Controversy (04:54) ===

[00:00:00]  Did you read this article?
[00:00:03]  Chicago Tribune.
[00:00:05]  First of all, the very way they cover it, to receive controversial medication.
[00:00:14]  Ivermectin has been used for decades with millions of people.
[00:00:19]  It's about as safe a drug as exists in the world.
[00:00:24]  Controversial?
[00:00:26]  Some people were hurt when they used a form of it for horses.
[00:00:32]  Am I supposed to crack up?
[00:00:34]  Is that a joke?
[00:00:39]  Large doses can be fatal.
[00:00:42]  Large doses of what cannot be fatal?
[00:00:45]  Large doses of aspirin can be fatal.
[00:00:50]  You know how many Americans died because of the FDA opposition?
[00:00:55]  And the CDC opposition to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and zinc?
[00:01:01]  There are epidemiologists who believe most of those who died would have lived had they been given these simple, safe drugs.
[00:01:12]  This is the age of the irrational, led by the media, the despicable, lying, fraudulent media, who are killers.
[00:01:22]  Absolute killers.
[00:01:25]  In aiding and abetting this medical fraud.
[00:01:31]  Another federal agency, the National Institutes of Health, has taken a more measured stance, saying that while the drug is well-tolerated when used for its intended purposes, there isn't enough information to allow a recommendation for or against using it to treat COVID-19.
[00:01:47]  Wait, so it's well-tolerated?
[00:01:51]  So if it's well-tolerated, what's the risk?
[00:01:56]  Wait, it's well tolerated if you have a lupus, but it's not well tolerated if you have COVID? Elmhurst Hospital's attorney, Joseph Monahan, said at the hearing, none of its doctors would agree to administer ivermectin for COVID-19.
[00:02:17]  Now you know why I have contempt for the medical profession?
[00:02:19]  That is example 56. The percentage of doctors who were fools is so large that it is painful to me.
[00:02:30]  Painful.
[00:02:31]  I was not aware of it.
[00:02:37]  I was not aware of it.
[00:02:39]  It's so sad...
[00:02:48]  It is such sad news.
[00:02:52]  Not one Doctor in the hospital would administer to a comatose COVID patient on a ventilator.
[00:03:00]  The ventilator is safe.
[00:03:01]  You hear?
[00:03:02]  This is safe.
[00:03:03]  The ventilator, the kiss of death ventilator is safe, but ivermectin isn't.
[00:03:12]  An internal ethics panel concluded its use could not be justified.
[00:03:17]  Are you listening to this?
[00:03:21]  Elmhurst Hospital's internal ethics panel concluded its use could not be justified on a comatose, COVID-ventilated patient.
[00:03:35]  He argued that judges should not overrule medical decisions.
[00:03:39]  Oh, God forbid!
[00:03:42]  The court doesn't have the authority to order a medical corporation to use particular medications, particularly when it's an off-label use, particularly when the federal government has said it could be dangerous.
[00:03:57]  Judge James Orrell pointed to an affidavit from Fipe's physician.
[00:04:02]  Fipe, again, is the woman who's comatose.
[00:04:05]  Dr. William Cravere of Orland Park, in which the doctor said he has used the drug successfully for COVID-19 patients since last year.
[00:04:14]  If Elmhurst doctors don't want to use ivermectin, the judge said, they should allow Cravere to administer it.
[00:04:23]  Right?
[00:04:25]  Why is that doctor less holy than the hospital's doctors, who are cowards?
[00:04:34]  Why wouldn't this be tried if she's not improving?
[00:04:37]  The judge said.
[00:04:39]  Yes.
[00:04:41]  Why wouldn't we try the ivermectin?
[00:04:44]  So masks after vaccine outside should be worn, but ivermectin on a patient on a ventilator should not be used.
