If you were suspicious that the left is just reflexively shouting down any Covid intervention that doesn't involve money going to Big Pharma, you'd probably expect the Biden administration to start telling people to stop taking aspirin, just as the left shouted down hydroxychloroquine and is currently shouting down ivermectin (with your help)



Well guess what happened two days ago
i started this conversation saying there are medicines that have been shown to be effective

while we're talking about doctors being great

EDMONTON — Alberta has reversed an earlier announcement that a 14-year-old died from COVID-19 and will change how it reports future COVID-related deaths of minors.

:lol:

edit - Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta's chief medical health officer, said initial information on the teen's death changed upon review and showed that COVID-19 was not the cause.

She said the province's policy on reporting deaths is to balance the timely release of information with accuracy.

edit - Hinshaw said the goal is to provide information to help the public fully understand the nature of COVID-19.

it was reported that the kid had severe life threatening illness in addition to covid when he died

so i dunno im guessing it didnt help things. if you're skeptical that death counts are as high as they claim to be you could check total deaths pretty easily

it's particulairly contentious because of questions of how vulnerable kids are, which is not revealed through total death counts

well whatever. the government here tracks age and the average age of the deceased from covid in alberta is 80. so if they're trying to make it seem more threatening to kids than it is they're doing a bad job of fudging the numbers

idk what the state of play is now, but there was a good period of time where prescribing ivermectin was defensible on cost-benefit grounds (ivermectin is widely used and has minimal side effects, so even a relatively small chance of it helping makes it net good)

i recognize that this type of cost-benefit decisionmaking is not really orthodox medical practice

i dont actually know anything or pretend to know anything about this. i've heard a bunch of doctors, or heard a bunch of people say doctors say, that it is useful in treating covid, or treating symptoms of covid. i've heard a bunch of doctors, or heard a bunch of people say doctors say, that it is completely unhelpful or harmful. ive heard there are multiple studies in credible journals suggesting it is useful in treating covid, or treating symptoms of covid. ive heard there are multiple studies in credible journals saying it doesnt do anything.

thats why they're sending in the army and nurses from other provinces yes

the icu's are short staffed because they doubled the size of them to allow for all the people with covid

Actually I just read that nurses in Quebec are refusing overtime i.e. the nurses union

A different story, both on MSN, was saying that unvaccinated nurses in Quebec are going to have their licenses suspended
