Essential Issues for November 2021

Gentlemen of the Ethics Committee of Sentara Hospital:

You should reconsider your decision to ban repurposed drugs such as Ivermectin, Fluvoxamine and the other medicines in the FLCCC Protocol. Your actions in banning these protocols means a death sentence for many of your patients. How tragic after 156 years since Dr Ignaz Semmelweis died that the world now has to repeat his excruciating experiences.

There can be no justification for your actions. You are fooling no one. Perhaps a better alternative if you are unable to reverse your decision in this matter, is just to close the hospital. Who needs it?

Note the Biblical Rule enunciated by the great Rabbinical scholar Maimonides over 700 years ago:

Anyone who has the ability to save another’s life and forbears from doing so violates the Biblical Commandment: Do not stand idly by your brother’s blood.
