I want to encourage everyone to read an article at American Greatness. It’s about a Canadian doctor who was relieved of his duties at a rural Alberta hospital for the offense of … treating three elderly patients with Ivermectin. Most of the article is a transcript of a presentation the doctor gave in which he gives a step by step account of the events that led up to his dismissal. It makes for riveting reading, but what’s most thought provoking—yet difficult to deny—is his conclusion: “Something malicious is going on.” This is the result of the loss of faith, that leads our society to regard other human beings as animals, at best, rather than person made in the image and likeness of their Creator.
To encourage one and all to read the entire piece, which speaks volumes about the medical profession in much of the Western world, here is the link with the introductory paragraphs:
Canadian Doctor Says ‘Something Malicious is Going On’ After He’s Punished For Treating COVID Patients with Ivermectin
A Canadian emergency room physician has been banned from practicing medicine in Alberta after he defied the province’s COVID treatment protocols by prescribing Ivermectin to three patients.
In a powerful speech last week, Dr. Daniel Nagase vented about the shoddy way COVID patients were being treated in a rural hospital in Alberta, and concluded that “something malicious is going on.”
…
Nagase told American Greatness that he has been a doctor for over 15 years, and has been an emergency doctor for 10 years. Although he lives in Vancouver, he has been working as an emergency room doctor in rural underserviced communities throughout Alberta since 2015.
In his speech Friday, the doctor shared what happened when he tried to treat three patients in a small rural hospital with Ivermectin during the weekend of September 11. He blasted doctors and surgeons “who are standing in the way of life-saving medicine.”
Nagase said that he gave his elderly patients one dose of Ivermectin, along with antibiotics, vitamins, and inhalers—which set two out of the three on a quick road to recovery. But when health authorities caught wind of what he was doing, all the medications, including the inhalers were taken away, and Nagase was relieved of his duties.
…
I started on Saturday morning in the ER, and when it came time to round on the ward patients, the charge nurse informed me that 3 of the patients on the COVID wing had deteriorated overnight.
All the patients were on Oxygen and extremely short of breath. The only medication these patients were on were steroids—a medication that will decrease inflammation but increase the chances of a bacterial infection by suppressing the immune system. That’s right, the only medication the COVID patients at this hospital were on were immune suppressants.
One woman said it felt like we just put her in a corner to die. We weren’t doing anything for her.
She felt like she had been put in a corner to die. Huh. Go figure, right?
At the conclusion of his powerful account Dr. Nagase goes there:
There is something malicious going on. I hope you can all see the bigger picture. ...
...
We are here to remember.
Not just the people who died from medical experimentation.
...
We are here to remember every single doctor, lawyer, and medical ethicist that sits on the board of the BC college who is investigating Dr. Charles Hoffe for speakng the truth.
We are here to remember every doctor who stopped patients from having a live saving medication.
And what for? To boost mortality? To create an ICU “crisis”? To create a state of emergency?
All to push a vaccine?
We must remember, the people of the past. And the people of today.
…
Nuremburg will happen again.
We must remember.

'Something Malicious Is Going On'
Here is an article on the government’s funding of this drug, which was actually developed by Emory University.
From the article:
The story behind molnupiravir is intriguing and a testament to government-funded innovation. Molnupiravir, also known as EIDD-2801 or MK-4482, came out of Drug Innovation Ventures at Emory (DRIVE), a not-for-profit LLC owned by Emory University. It had previously demonstrated broad-spectrum activity against other viruses such as influenza, Ebola, and the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. The work goes back to 2004, when Emory researchers were studying a related compound known as EIDD-1931/NHC.
Before it was tested for Covid-19, EIDD-2801 had accrued millions of dollars of federal funding. In 2019, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) gave the Emory Institute for Drug Development a $16 million contract to test the drug for influenza. It had previously garnered funding from several other NIAID grants, as well as funding from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), as disclosed by Emory. When attention turned to Covid-19, Emory received pledges of more than $30 million from NIAID and the Department of Defense to cover development of the drug.

Jumping on an opportunity to develop a promising drug therapy for Covid-19, Ridgeback Biotherapeutics licensed the drug from DRIVE in March 2020. Ridgeback was founded by Wayne and Wendy Holman, both former investment managers. Within just three months, Ridgeback licensed worldwide rights for EIDD-2801 for Covid-19 to Merck, for which Ridgeback received an undisclosed upfront payment plus milestone payments and shared profits.
But before signing on with Merck, Ridgeback had tried to negotiate a deal with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), one that was specifically mentioned in the explosive whistleblower complaint by Rick Bright, the former director of BARDA. In his complaint, Bright wrote that George Painter, the CEO of the Emory Institute for Drug Development, and Ridgeback cofounder Wendy Holman sought a contract first from ASPR Next and then from BARDA to develop EIDD-2801 for $100 million, and they personally lobbied the authority to get more financial aid. BARDA denied the request due to a lack of adequate documentation for the request. Even before 2020, Bright had been reluctant to give BARDA funding to EIDD-2801, saying they already had $30 million of support from NIAID and the Department of Defense.
Merck eventually backed Ridgeback and took on development of the drug. Molnupiravir then received even more federal funding: In September 2021, BARDA procured 1.7 million courses of the five-day regimen for $1.2 billion, or $700 per treatment course.
Federal support for innovation is essential for biopharma innovation and has been critical for fighting the pandemic. The rapid development of mRNA vaccines against Covid-19 demonstrate that federal agencies can enhance the role of the state in coordinating public and private sectors. The underlying technology of mRNA vaccines has a long history of public funding for research that can be traced back to NIH funding in the 1990s. Between 2002 and 2020, the NIH spent nearly $700 million on research funding for the technology underpinning these vaccines. Since then, several countries have invested billions of dollars into research on mRNA vaccines.

I am not a doctor of any sort, just a regular guy who comments once in awhile here and other places. So, although I don't feel qualified to comment in the manner of someone who is involved in health care, I do feel qualified as a normal, sentient human being to make the following observations. It appears to me that this whole thing is in line with the stuff we were told about Obama Care, etc. Government takeover of medicine, Sarah Palin's comments about death panels, people being denied care at the end of their lives and all that sort of thing. Would it not be fair to say that doctors - largely employed by large medical/hospital corporations, at least in my area of the Northeast - are being dictated to by the people who pay them? The good doctor in the piece above stated, "something malicious is going on." Well HELL YES something is going on. Large hospital corporations, in league with large pharmaceutical corporations are lining up with Large Government to tell the plebes who is in charge i.e., who lives and who dies. You will follow are guidelines, take this medication, see these approved doctors, etc and if you don't, they won't get paid, you won't be bale to work or freely move about, etc, etc, etc.
I have never been a conspiracy type...ever. Given what has happened over these last 18 months - here and abroad - I have to wonder...
