Yes, that healthcare has been politicized to the degree that it has is beyond disgusting. That so many doctors are afraid or ignorant about treatments for COVID other than the vaccine or hospitalization is beyond frustrating.
It's gotten so bad that you have pharmacists now playing the role of doctor - even lecturing a physician about his care directives for his patients - when it comes to the much maligned "horse dewormer", leading to this lawsuit against Walrmart (where the pharmacy in question was) and another local pharmacy that did the same: https://www.scribd.com/document/553842620/Saliers-v-Walmart-Hy-Vee https://www.scribd.com/document/553842620/Saliers-v-Walmart-...
This isn't about "fact checking" so called misinformation - this crap has spilled over and almost forced these people into the hospital where just about everyone agrees it's far better to NOT be forced into the hospital in the first place.
The Washington Post is puzzled about a drop in COVID cases that doesn't match the rest of the world: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/22/japan-covid-omicron-falling-cases/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/22/japan-covid-...
Funny; they fail to mention in August that the much maligned horse dewormer was authorized as a COVID treatment - and a few weeks later infection rates dropped dramatically and stayed extremely low until the time of that article.
How many people ended up in the hospital that didn't have to all because the horse dewormer and HCQ patents expired and there were cheap, generic forms readily available? Isn't it interesting that now that Pfizer has a new pill that all of the sudden the vaccine isn't the sole path to salvation for the planet? Funny that, eh?
- hraedon 5y agoWhere was ivermectin authorized for use as a COVID treatment? It certainly wasn't approved in the US and it also wasn't (and isn't) authorized in Japan, before or after the date of your WaPo article.
