Current Events > Man who won a court battle to treat his COVID-19 with ivermectin has died

(+) Yeah! (+)

Keith Smith, whose wife had gone to court to have his COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin, died Sunday evening, a week after he received his first dose of the controversial drug.
Smith had been in UMPC Memorial for nearly three weeks and had been in the hospitals intensive care unit in a medically induced coma on a ventilator since Nov. 21. He had been diagnosed with the virus on Nov. 10.
His wife of 24 years, Darla, had gone to court to compel UPMC to treat her husband with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has not been approved for treatment of COVID-19.

York County Court Judge Clyde Vedders Dec. 3 decision did not compel the hospital to treat Keith with the drug, but it did allow Darla to have an independent physician administer it. He received two doses before Keiths condition grew worse, and the doctor halted the treatment.
Darla had sued UPMC to treat her husband with ivermectin after reading about similar cases throughout the country, all filed by an attorney in Buffalo, N.Y. She was assisted by a group called Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which promotes the use of ivermectin in the treatment of the virus.
Whether the drug is effective in treating COVID-19 is unproven and studies cited by its proponents have been dismissed as being biased and including incomplete or nonexistent data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of the drug to treat COVID-19, and the National Institutes of Health does not recommend its use. It is not included in UPMCs COVID-19 treatment protocols.
He received his first dose on Dec. 5, two days after Vedders decision in the court case. After Keith received a second dose, the doctor overseeing the drugs administration a physician not affiliated with UPMC ended the treatment as Keiths condition deteriorated.
Darla had written previously that she was unsure whether ivermectin could help her husband, but it was worth a try. The use of the drug was described as a Hail Mary intended as a last-ditch effort to save Keiths life. (She would not say whether her husband had been vaccinated.)

He clearly wasn't.

Would they be able to tell if the ivermectin contributed to his further deterioration or not? Just wondering if the ivermectin made him worse, or if it did nothing and his COVID simultaneously got worse

Oh no

Anyway

Got no more sympy for these people

It treats parasites.....like viruses.

It couldn't have helped him. That shit makes chunks of your intestine fall out of you. His wife helped speed up his death. She likely doesn't understand that though
