PJM.
Florida hospitals, like the Mayo Clinic, have a COVID protocol for their patients with the Bat-Stew Flu, and ivermectin isn’t part of it. Balbona is a big believer in ivermectin. He alleges he has saved “dozens and dozens” of people suffering from the Chinese Sneeze using the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) recommendations, with a few modifications based on each patient. The FLCCC treatment calls for, in part, ivermectin.
But hospitals receive federal money for treating COVID patients IF they use treatments outlined in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Ivermectin isn’t a part of that treatment.
Families have gone to court hoping a judge will side with them and allow ivermectin to be used with their loved ones, most of whom are seriously ill (death panels, anyone?). Sometimes that works out. When it doesn’t, some have resorted to sneaking ivermectin into hospitals and administering it themselves.
An anonymous woman recently contacted Dr. Balbona regarding her husband who was hospitalized with COVID.
“The husband was very ill,” Dr. Balbona told the Epoch Times. “He’s in his 50s, a big strong guy. She called me desperate because they [the hospital] gave him remdesivir and she made them stop it, and he started getting worse and worse. And his oxygen demand went up.”
Balbona told the woman he could care for her husband once she got him out of the hospital. He wrote her prescriptions for the meds she would need. She filled them out, snuck them into the hospital, and gave them to her husband. That was on Friday. By Tuesday he was well enough to be discharged from the hospital.
“The people who snuck in the ivermectin, they are scared to death,” Balbona stated. “She is sure that the government is going to find out who she is and possibly arrest her for giving medications not approved by the hospital.”
“I did it,” the anonymous woman told Dr. Balbona. “I knew it was wrong. I don’t know what the penalties are. What could they do to me?”
Did you catch the bolded section? This is one big reason doctors and hospital administrations are so reluctant to use Ivermectin, along with the fact that state boards will take their license. This is about money – money from the FedGov, and money for hospitals and big Pharma.
The woman’s sentiments are ridiculous to the point of absurdity. “I knew it was wrong.” What part was wrong – saving the life of her husband? Using an unapproved treatment? Who disapproves, and do they have the best interest of her husband at heart? Does she owe the truth to her enemies? Did she ponder any of these questions?
This redounds to awful education and training, and could possibly be the fault of her church. If you want to understand just how bad teaching is today, find a Christian and ask him or her the following question: “Was Rahab’s lie a sin?”
Even the biblical commentaries dance around this issue to the point of absurdity. “Well, the lie was a sin, but God used it for good … ” Blah Blah Blah.
Balderdash and poppycock and nonsense and blather and rubbish and stupid pastors.
Rushdoony deals with this in The Institutes of Biblical Law. Among other things, he says “There is not the slightest hint anywhere in the Bible that any aspect of her defense of the Hebrew spies is in some way suspect … legalism runs deep in the rebellious hearts of men.”
Her deception of the hospital was an act of faith, it saved her husband, it was approved by God, and like Rahab, her lie was justified. Her enemies didn’t deserve the truth.
Just stop with the notions that she owed fealty to the government over her husband’s medical care. She didn’t, and her actions weren’t “wrong,” as she put it.
And please, please, please people, leave poor churches and get sound theological training.
