COVID? What COVID? Let's Just Move On!

From the New York Times: Covid Politics Leave a Florida Public Hospital Shaken.

"Some members of the Sarasota County Public Hospital Board and medical staff at Sarasota Memorial are bewildered and taken aback by critics’ continued preoccupation with Covid policy — chiefly the avoidance of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, drugs found to be ineffective or even harmful as Covid treatments.

'Most hospitals around the country are over Covid,' said Dr. James V. Fiorica, the hospital’s chief medical officer. 'We’ve proven ourselves. Why aren’t we moving on?'"

People who are part of the 'health freedom' movement object to the fact that Sarasota Memorial closely followed guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health,which do not recommend using ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine in treating Covid patients. Sarasota Memorial did allow those drugs as treatments, the review said, but only with a staff physician’s order and, eventually, a waiver."

3 years later, and these horse dewormer crackpots are still threatening doctors! The only people who need to "move on" are the anti-vaxxers and COVID mimimizers!
