re: Pulmonologist Roy Culotta at Baton Rouge General posted about current situation

I've heard several stories around the US and the doctors are literally saying the exact same thing. This is 1000% pre=scripted and a political stunt.

Of course not. HIPAA doesn’t prevent LDH from releasing vaccinated hospitalization data. But they’re not releasing it.

< 5% reinfection rate (no vaccine)

Got to hide this shite.

course this virus is generally worse if you are fat or old. You still need to be told that?

Lol "generally worse" that's an interesting way to state it can go from a harmless cold to a death sentence with a few comorbidities especially morbid obesity.

Whoa Kimosabee...we have 2 pandemics we are dealing with. Covid 19 and the Delta variant. And next year or so will be the next variant. Each requiring a new shot, a la the flu vacines.

And speaking of the flu, where the frick did it go? I quizzed my GP about that and was told mask usage and lock-down beat it to the ground.

So, all the people that would have died of the Flu lived, or all the people who would have died of the Flu but died from Covid, or both, or neither.

Your Honor, I submit this is statistical bullshite and ask that the case be dismissed!

1. Ivermectin to have any possible antiviral benefits it has to be given at dosages that are above the TD50 (dosage at which 50% of recipients experience some form of toxic adverse effect(s)) for ivermectin and 5x higher than the FDA approved dosage IIRC. Ivermectin is neurotoxic, but it does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) at the FDA approved dosages so it is safe at the FDA approved dosages. However if ivermectin is given at dosages high enough to have an antiviral effects (again 5x the FDA approved dosage IRRC) the serum concentration is high enough to force ivermectin across the (BBB) and enter the brain.

2. Corticosteroids interacts with Ivermectin and makes it easier for Ivermectin to cross the BBB. Making it easier for a neurotoxic agent to cross the BBB is something that should be avoided.

3. If you give ivermectin at the dosages needed for it to have any antiviral effect(s) and combine it with steroids then not only are you driving a neurotoxic agent across the BBB, but you are driving a neurotoxic agent across the BBB at dosages that are much higher than the TD50 and dosages that are approaching the LD50 (dosage at which 50% of recipients die).

4. If you combine ivermectin at doses high enough to have antiviral effects and corticosteroids then you are definitely going to cause brain damage and very possibly cause coma and/or brain death. All of those are bad and reasons why nobody gives ivermectin and corticosteroids.

I take over 15 prescribed medications chronically for my health conditions. A third of them are said to never be mixed together because of risk of toxic events and I've been on them for almost 6 years.

Lol, so when Dr's are saying the same thing then we should trust the good one's and not be dismissive up front?

Given all of the misinformation and bullshite that has been put out concerning this virus, you really expect any rational person not to question every damn thing?

"little much" lmao

If you said that to me, I'd agree. I would probably fold rather quickly. That said, rather than a blind defense of him based on his rather honorable profession, how about we determine if he is telling us the truth. Because if he is, a lot of people should consider his words. If not , he can join the long list of Covid ideologues who should have rotten produce thrown at them. Agree?
