I recently started dating this nurse friend of mine, who is pretty conservatives but isn't quite redpilled. We were talking about COVID and I brought up that most of our deaths were preventable, referencing IVM/HCQ usage and the low vaccination rates in Africa in comparison to the world, and yet their deaths/cases are also low.
Her response challenged me: "If there's a treatment that prevents it or treats it, why wouldn't our doctors default to it? I know some, and surely they'd do everything they can to save them. I couldn't believe that they wouldn't save those lives because of money."
I'm stumped. She's treated and seen people die from this, so I don't know how to answer it. Do you guys have any way that you would?
It's a difficult issue, and has to do with the psychology of each individual, their training, and the constraints of their work environment. For good doctors, the answer is that they simply don't know: they've been conditioned to accept that their clinical guidance authorities (CDC, hospital admins, state licensing boards, pharma reps) are working in good faith; what's more, going against the grain is difficult. Of course there are also lazy doctors that just don't care enough to find out, mere instruction-following clinicians, and that's a separate problem in any profession. Many doctors have broken from their training, and are working hard to let other doctors know.
I'd recommend the Dr Peter McCullough talk: https://rumble.com/vnbv86-winning-the-war-against-therapeutic-nihilism-and-trusted-treatments-vs-unte.html
Dr Zelenko also describes how he came to his decisions in this interview, but it may be a sharp challenge. Zelenko on X22 https://rumble.com/vmy4fn-dr.-zelenko-forget-class-action-lawsuits-there-will-be-tribunals-what-if-cu.html
There's also a website by the hospital doctors that did the MATH+ protocol (pre-ivermectin, but it saves a lot of people), and they explain how changing hospital policies is such a bear. I don't have that one handy, but it's fairly easy to find.
You could also just ask her if she's ever asked the doctors (the good ones, of course) about alternative treatments. She might be surprised at their answers. Good luck!
