(Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier in the US): Ivermectin must be administered despite CDC and FDA warnings, Ohio judge orders A COVID patient's wife got a prescription from an Ivermectin promoter but the hospital refused to administer it. An Ohio judge ordered a Cincinnati-area hospital to treat a patient with Ivermectin, a drug commonly used to deworm livestock, despite warnings from federal health agencies. Butler County Judge Gregory Howard last week ordered West Chester Hospital, which is part of the University of Cincinnati network, to "immediately administer Ivermectin" to 51-year-old Jeffrey Smith daily for the next three weeks. The ruling came after Smith's wife, Julie Smith, asked the court for an emergency order to use the drug to treat her husband, who is on a ventilator and has been in an ICU for weeks, according to the Ohio Capital Journal. The lawsuit did not say whether Smith was vaccinated but state data shows that fewer than 500 of the more than 20,000 hospitalized Covid patients in the state have been fully vaccinated. Julie Smith "found Ivermectin on her own" and connected with Dr. Fred Wagshul, an Ohio physician that her lawsuit described as "one of the foremost experts on using Ivermectin in treating COVID-19," who prescribed the drug but the hospital refused to administer it, according to the Capital Journal. Wagshul is a co-founder of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, a nonprofit that promotes the use of Ivermectin despite warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration that it has no effect and could be dangerous. Dr. Leanne Chrisman-Khawam, a physician and Ohio University professor, called the group "snake oil salesmen," noting that there are "serious" issues with their research and that the studies they cite often "don't show positive results" and have "design flaws." "Based on evidence-based medicine and my read on this large number of small studies, I would find this very suspect, even the positive outcomes," she told the Capital Journal.

If only you would use that power for good...

...And there it is...

Any time the quarterback is a legitimate threat to run for decent yards, that changes the whole game plan for the opposing defence. The more variables (options) an offence has, more stress it puts on the defence. Streveler had the ability to run over people as well as gain big yards in critical situations and that put the fear of God into defenders.

The provincial PCs are probably praying that the pandemic will go away all by itself by then and then they can crow about their masterful inactivity.

That would appear to be the logical inference.

Roosevelt was never the fastest receiver, and I imagine the Rider fans are howling about the Bombers picking through their leftovers.

Or we have fewer (but not none) troglodytes.

He may be stupid and a Neanderthal but at least he is up front. On the other hand he is repeating what he has been told to say.

New restaurants used to intrigue me a lot more before I married a chef.

Agreed, but the whole point of denying contraception/education and abortions to women is partially that the perpetrators assume (wrongly) that it is the poor and marginalized who are having sex and they must be punished. Banning RU486 in most states is a part of that bizarre thinking.

There is absolutely an inverse relationship between education and unplanned pregnancies. However, the "righteous "moralists among the right wing. Militant about denying contraception, sex education and abortion to women but totally indifferent, even hostile to the welfare of women and children.

Following this line of reasoning, we should park all cars because some of them crash.

Far-right Mississippi governor slammed for claim Christians fear COVID less because they 'believe in eternal life' With COVID-19's ultra-infectious Delta variant raging in the United States — especially in red states with low vaccination rates — Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves is arguing that residents of his state are "a little less scared" of the pandemic than other Americans because they tend to be more religious. And the Republican governor is being mocked without mercy on Twitter. At a GOP fundraiser in Memphis on August 26, Reeves commented, "When you believe in eternal life — when you believe that living on this Earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don't have to be so scared of things." Downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic — which, according to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, has killed more than 4.5 million people worldwide — has been common among MAGA Republicans, many of whom have fought against protective face masks, vaccination, social distancing and other things that save lives.

Liberty University enacts campus-wide quarantine as COVID-19 surges In the United States, far-right white evangelicals and Christian nationalists have often been the first to downplay the severity of COVID-19, oppose social distancing measures and push bogus anti-masker and anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories. But in Lynchburg, Virginia, Liberty University has enacted a temporary quarantine across the campus after being hit hard by a COVID-19 outbreak. The Associated Press' Alicia Victoria Lozano reports, "The quarantine is scheduled to end September 10, the university said. There were 159 active COVID-19 cases among students and staff as of Saturday, (August 28), according to the school's coronavirus dashboard. The university has about 15,000 students and 5000 faculty or staff members on campus. The majority of infections, 124 cases, are among students." According to Lozano, the current COVID-19 outbreak at Liberty University is even worse than the one it suffered in September 2020. "Last week," Lozano observes, "40 students and staff members had tested positive for COVID. The current spike surpasses the previous high of 141 cases last September when nearly 1200 people connected with the campus were quarantined." Liberty University doesn't have a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for either students or faculty, according to Lozano. During the quarantine, classes at Liberty University will only be held online — not in person — and large indoor gatherings will be forbidden. (This is serious. If students die, that would affect income)

Anal apertures abound!!

Butbutbut then it would affect someone's sense of moral superiority which gives them the God-given right to tell others what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

I am not looking forward to the home-and-home with the Riders. Riders have started the season very well and look like the best in the west, but the Bombers are having a lot of teething problems on both offence and defence. I was disappointed that the Bombers did not overpower the Stamps who looked to be ripe for the picking with a rookie QB and a patchwork O-line.

And should be again,

It tasted like bird droppings on cardboard. It was as popular as flatulence in an elevator.

whoopee

I will alert my travel agent.

I would bet that if the origin of these jackhole groups was explored, the path would lead back to the PC party adherents.

(This was inevitable, I suppose) Alberta feed stores inundated with calls for ivermectin over false claims livestock dewormer treats COVID Sarah Rieger · CBC News · Posted: Aug 30, 2021 2:00 AM MT | Last Updated: 14 minutes ago Alberta feed stores are receiving a deluge of callers asking to buy ivermectin because of misinformation that suggests the drug, usually used to deworm horses and other livestock, can be used to treat COVID-19 in humans. Alberta feed stores say they're receiving a deluge of callers asking to buy ivermectin due to misinformation that suggests the livestock dewormer can be used to treat COVID-19 in humans. Lance Olson, manager of Lone Star Tack & Feed Inc., located just outside of Calgary, said false claims circulating about the animal medication have brought the wrong kind of attention to his business. "It's obviously not intended for human use in any way shape or form. It's meant to get rid of worms in horses' guts … so, these people see that ivermectin liquid, they search it, our website comes up and they give us a call thinking that we can just sell it to them," Olson said. "If you don't know what it is, you probably don't have animals that you're going to use this on … given the circumstances surrounding this stuff it makes it very uncomfortable when people phone … so we've taken it off our shelves."
