Ohio judge reverses court order forcing hospital to treat Covid patient with ivermectin

Guardian:

On Monday, Judge Michael Oster of Butler county issued an order that sided with West Chester Hospital, citing a lack of “convincing evidence” that the drug – used in small doses in humans against external parasites such as headlice, and in larger doses for animals including cows and horses – could significantly improve the patient’s condition.

“Judges are not doctors or nurses,” he wrote. “We have gavels, not needles, vaccines, or other medicines.”

He added: “This court is not determining if ivermectin will ever be effective and useful as a treatment for Covid-19.

“However, based upon the evidence, it has not shown to be effective at this juncture … After considering all of the evidence presented in this case, there can be no doubt that the medical and scientific communities do not support the use of ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19.”

1. Glad to see a ray of light in the judiciary.

I wonder whether the patient is actually still alive?

2. Interesting quote from the ruling...

The ivermectin that was prescribed is for human use, and is approved by the FDA to treat internal and external parasites. However, Dr. Wagshul prescribed the medication without having seen Jeff Smith and does not have privileges at West Chester Hospital.

5. You can see how we got here

Just watch M$Greedia raking in the dollars all day and all night as big pharma bombards people with instructions telling them to make their doctors use their products.

6. There are already some replies in threads here lauding 'studies' that the horse shit prevents C-19

Corporate hand puppets at work once again.

8. Yep

Precisely

7. Finally, medical logic put forth by doctors/med. experts makes sense and is being listened to!

Good grief. Like the Judge said, they have the gavel, not not the medical degrees, needles, medicines, etc.

When will common sense fully prevail in large swaths of this Country? With COVID raging in many different places and hospitals running out of room in their ICUs (as well as morgues), I fear the only thing that will bring back normality to this Country is the ever increasing number of senseless deaths (COVID and those unrelated to COVID (lack of ICUs available)).

I fear it will get worse before it gets better...
