I am posting part of this American Thinker piece, as the information would appear to be
under-reported in the mainstream media. Robert Jones provides an interesting
historical context for what he refers to as “the Semmelweis Reflex” –
establishment resistance to new medical solutions. He concludes:
. . . an international
group of medical experts from 16 countries have recognized ivermectin
(which is typically used in combination with other drugs) as a safe and
effective treatment for COVID. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, who is the
President of the FLCCC, “This group is the latest in the growing number of
experts from around the world who recognize Ivermectin’s role in fighting this
pandemic.” Dr. Pierre Kory continued, “The BIRD [British Ivermectin
Recommendation Development] panel used the highest form of medical evidence, a
meta-analysis, to evaluate data from over 20 trials of Ivermectin before
concluding it’s safe and effective for use in treating COVID-19.”
Given the compelling evidence that
there is a close to 100% cure for COVID, it is mindboggling that a person who
tests COVID positive will not be offered any medical assistance. Very
recently, on March 11, 2021, Dr. Peter McCullough
testified to the Texas Senate HHS Committee about this very issue.
He states, “patients actually think that the virus is untreatable and so
what happens is they go out to get a diagnosis… [and] it says here you’re COVID
positive, go home, is there any treatment, no, is there any resources I can
call, no, any referral lines/hotlines, no, any research hotlines, no.” He
continues, “that is the standard of care in the United States, and if we go to
any of our testing centers today in the United States I bet that is the
standard of care.”
In short, what we have here is a
near complete failure to respond to the COVID crisis due to our reflex-like
tendency to reject new knowledge (i.e., that COVID can be effectively treated)
because it contradicts the established belief that COVID cannot be effectively
treated. The federal government has failed because it has not evaluated
possible treatments for COVID and put its imprimatur on the treatments
that are safe and effective. Also, the majority of physicians have failed
because they have not put into practice the safe and effective treatments that
now exist for COVID. . . .
