should discharge patients that demand these unproven treatments if they become hostile towards staff.

have a huge voice in this country. At this very moment there is some dolt, without any medical credentials or knowledge, speaking out on a radio show, or going on the internet spreading the kind of misinformation that leads to this.

I predict that within the next few months, mobs of anti-vaxxers will literally invade hospital ICU's, physically drag patients out, take them to their homes and force ivermectin down their throats, all the while saying to the patients, "We've saved you from Biden's Satanic Government Agents disguised as 'nurses and doctors' trying to take away your FREEEEEEEEEEDOM!"

I'm not exaggerating. I believe that the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and COVID-deniers have become that messed up.

Where are insurance companies protecting hospitals?
