Ohio COVID Patient Dies, Wife Sued to Force Ivermectin Treatment
An Ohio man with COVID-19 whose wife sued to force a local hospital to treat him with ivermectin has died, the
Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
Smith was diagnosed with COVID-19 in July and died in the intensive care unit at West Chester Hospital, the Enquirer reported.
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that federal regulators and health officials have warned against for use in COVID patients. But people infected with the virus and their families have filed suits in eight other states with mixed results, according to
Covering COVID-19, a daily newsletter from the Poynter Institute.
In August, Common Pleas Judge Gregory Howard had ordered West Chester Hospital to treat Smith with ivermectin, the Enquirer reported. His wife, Julie, asked the court Aug. 20 for an emergency order to use the drug.
When the hospital pushed back, another judge, Michael Oster, ruled in September the hospital wasn’t required to give Smith the drug, noting the lack of evidence showing ivermectin was likely to succeed in treating COVID, court records show, the news outlet reported.
Smith tested positive for COVID-19 July 9, and was admitted to the intensive care unit July 15. He was put on the hospital's COVID protocol of the antiviral drug remdesivir along with plasma and steroids. On July 27, "after a period of relative stability," Smith's condition began to decline and he was placed on a ventilator Aug. 1, the news outlet reported.
"My husband is on death's doorstep; he has no other options," his wife wrote in her affidavit to the court, adding at another point that her husband's chances of survival had "dropped to less than 30%," the Enquirer reported.
Howard gave the go-ahead Aug. 23 for Smith to get 30 milligrams of ivermectin daily for three weeks, as requested by his wife and over the objections of the hospital. Fourteen days later Oster ruled the hospital couldn't be forced to continue the treatment.
"While this court is sympathetic to the Plaintiff and understands the idea of wanting to do anything to help her loved one, public policy should not and does not support allowing a physician to try ‘any’ type of treatment on human beings," Oster said in his court order,
The Hill reported at the time.

one month later is insanity. Do they not realize the damage to lung tissue in 30 days? how could anything save a guy at that point.. a month to late. shame on them. Up front before your lungs are destroyed would be the best time to give someone a weeks worth of that drug not weeks later when the guy is basically dead. Wow.

And just how is it that Fauci's emails proving that he was weaponizing Covid through ( gain of function in Wuhan China), is scrubbed from the media?, And also, why did The CDC and The FDA, change the definition of a "vaccine"?
Why have these and other toxic facts been scrubbed from the media, even News Max?

Um, you’re supposed to use ivrmctn at the first symptoms, not wait for weeks until you’re too far gone. And they had already given him Remdsvr, which is what’s causing so many de@ths. Ivrmctn had nothing to do with his death. This is just a headline for pushing the jab.
