I can say with certainty that Providence St Joeseph only followed the Resdemiver protocol. A good friend tried to stop them from using it and administer IVM for her family but they wouldn’t use it. Too bad she didn’t have her own to give the family member before they got too sick.
We are also still testing for Covid as protocol for surgery. A positive nasal swab converts to the Covid protocols and special infection prevention strategies are put into effect. Still have to wear masks.
Question is why such a stink for nasal swabs without clinical symptoms? You can pick up anything and your nose will destroy it if you have a healthy immune system. Why not test for all infectious particles in your nose if not going back to clinical symptoms of infection?
Why? Because of the money! I’m not sure about what is still getting reimbursed for the “positive” diagnosis, but I bet if the hospital wasn’t getting reimbursed somehow, they would stop the practice because it costs more in time and nursing ratio to put on the isolation garb plus special OR room, special head gear/hood, special cleaning after procedure…
Every procedure, test, injection, medication—all of it—adds MOAR to the bottom line. Nothing added is ever removed unless something more costly can replace it.
The pricey part needed to repair my HVAC last week was the same way. Even the technician commented on it.

And another thought - how do we collect DNA? Through nasal swabs! And is there informed consent for doing that… of course not!
