‘This is
medical tyranny. It is overriding all of the legal and medical ethical
principles that have been operative for my entire career, or my knowledge of
the history of medicine in this country,’ said Dr. Vliet

CHICAGO, IL (LifeSiteNews) — A medical freedom activist died after doctors
denied her the treatment she sought.
In the wake of the recent COVID-19-related death of
a medical freedom activist, her power-of-attorney-advocate (POA), along with an
interceding physician, have alleged medical malfeasance on the part of the
hospital and broader medical system, the policies and protocols of which
repeatedly denied Veronica Wolski known successful treatments, (https://www.lifesitenews.com/tags/tag/hydroxychloroquine/ ) and even the ability to
be transferred out of their hospital, though she begged for it
continuously.
“[We] were stymied at every turn,” said Dr. Lee
Vliet, President and CEO of the Truth for Health Foundation, in a video interview on the John-Henry
Weston Show last Thursday.
Vliet was joined by Wolski’s Power of Attorney
(POA), Ms. Nancy Ross, who explained the extraordinary efforts she had made,
with Vliet’s help, in her attempt to save the woman’s life. Wolski died early
on September 13 at the age of 64.
Wolski was best known for hanging banners from a
bridge over the Kennedy expressway in Chicago encouraging drivers to reject
compliance with mask and dangerous gene-based “vaccine” mandates. Her hospital
stay, along with her death, inspired tremendous support by medical freedom
advocates, who called for her to be given suitable treatments for recovery, but
also mockery by those who charged her with
“anti-vaccine disinformation.”
In providing insight into what was happening behind
the scenes of this story, Ross began explaining how Wolski had been admitted to
the Catholic AMITA Health Resurrection Medical
Center somewhere around August 24 and diagnosed with “’COVID pneumonia,’
although her x-ray showed it was possible chest congestion.”
Very soon after, Ross, a native of Chicago who now
lives in South Carolina, explained, “I started receiving [text] messages” from
Veronica begging for help to be moved from this hospital: ‘Get me out, get me
oxygen, get me medical transport, get security here if you have to, get me
out.’”
In addition, after investigating the treatments Wolski was receiving, Ross observed
“even something as simple as IV vitamins… were denied to her.
She wanted her Ivermectin. That was denied to her.
She wanted so many things that were not part of the hospital’s protocol.
So, we
began this fight [and] this advocacy [on her behalf].”
Catholic hospital ‘ethics committee’ revokes
prescription for Ivermectin, bars Ross from premises
Illustrating the resistance hospitals across the
nation are exercising to prevent the use of successful treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, Ross mentioned a recent court case in nearby Elmhurst,
IL, where the “court ordered a hospital to allow a COVID patient to have
Ivermectin. She ended up coming out of a coma, as is my understanding, [and] is
now home playing with her grandkids.”
Striving for a similar outcome for her friend Veronica, Ross was “thrilled” to secure a prescription for Ivermectin from Wolski’s infectious diseases doctor, considering it a “breakthrough,” only to soon discover that
this physician “was overruled by the AMITA hospital system, by their ethics committee.
“We demanded a conference with the ethics
committee,” she said.
“They met without us. They did not give us a chance
to present what we felt was some solid case study on ivermectin and other
medicines.”
Puzzled by this process, Ross explained how despite
being within standard patient rights, as even stipulated in the AMITA admission
forms, Wolski’s right to refuse the treatment being given, and to try the
Ivermectin protocol prescribed to her by two different doctors, was not being
recognized.
“We understand if we had informed consent on their
position, we could refuse kindly, and say ‘Ok, but we still demand to try this.
This is what she wants,’ but this right was somehow not recognized,”
she said.
Having lost her appeal, Ross explained, “I left the
hospital and they called to tell me I was not to come back in, that they would
deal directly with Veronica, that she was of sound mind and could make her own
decisions, and that they would talk to me on the phone. After that, I was not
allowed back in the hospital.”
Attempt to transfer Wolski out of hospital impeded
Beginning her comments, Dr. Vliet explained how she
and her team are all “very experienced at treating COVID at all levels from
critical care to outpatient,” and that, as a team, they reviewed Wolski’s
records after being requested to do so by Ross and an attorney.
“The consensus to the entire medical team reviewing
[the case] was that there were so many options to improve Veronica’s clinical
condition that had been totally ignored and refused,” Vliet said.
Further, after assessing the situation, the team
concluded that they had the capacity to fulfill Wolski’s demand to be
transferred out of this hospital and into an outpatient setting, where she
could receive the treatment protocols she wanted, and to which she had a
right.
Yet having prepared for such a transfer, mobilizing
everything needed, including an ambulance with high-flow oxygen capacity, Ross
attempted to arrange for Wolski’s removal from AMITA, but was met with resistance
and indifference from hospital staff. “’Call back Monday morning when their
hospice team gets in,’” Ross reports being told. “I couldn’t understand why
there was no sense of urgency to at least let her go in peace.”
Distraught about this situation, she then called
the police who told her there was nothing they could do about the situation, as
it was a “civil matter.”
Hospitals across nation using the ‘same playbook’
to block patient rights, ‘losing people every day’
In reflecting on their efforts to save Wolski’s
life, Vliet said, “what was shocking to me as a physician, knowing what the
legal and medical ethics are, is that the most astounding interference was the
interference and refusal to honor the patient’s request… and not only that but
to refuse the patient’s power-of-attorney, who has a legal duty as the agent,
to carry out the patient’s wishes and to see that that is done.”
“I have not, ever in my career … seen patient’s
power of attorney legal rights overridden so flagrantly and abusively as we
witnessed over this four days with Veronica’s situation,” she said.
In hospitals across the United States, there
appears to be “exactly the same pattern of abuse of patient rights [in these
COVID situations]. This is medical tyranny,” Vliet continued.
“It is overriding all of the legal and medical
ethical principles that have been operative for my entire career, or my
knowledge of the history of medicine in this country.”
These hospitals “are using the same tactics and the
same playbook, and the same blocking of the patient’s rights and the power of
attorney access to the patient,” she said. “This is a much bigger issue than
simply denying Ivermectin as one medicine.”
Furthermore, in her assessment, Vliet said, “basics
are being denied: adequate IV fluids, adequate caloric intake, vitamins,
comfort care with allowing private duty nurses if that is what the patient
wants, allowing the patient to be discharged to home hospice, which is a legal
right of the patient… That is supposed to be honored. It’s always been in my
experience in medicine.”
“And so, I think that the very, very serious and
very chilling development is the consistency of the pattern hospitals are
using: the fact that the patient’s legal rights as a patient are being
overridden, the fact that power of attorney, legal documents are being thrown
out and ignored. And if we don’t stand up to this medical tyranny then we are
literally losing people every day because their wishes are not being followed
and basic treatments are being ignored,” she said.
Hospitals paid many thousands of extra dollars per each patient on a ventilator, causing ‘unnecessary deaths’
When asked about the interests of hospitals in
insisting COVID patients take ventilators, Vliet said, “There’s a tragic and
very simple answer [to that question]: They are paid thousands of dollars more
for every patient on a ventilator. And this is happening in every
hospital.”
The enormous amount of extra dollars hospitals are
paid for prescribing “Remdesivir,
ventilators, and COVID diagnoses,” has all been documented, she said.
Since emergency COVID-19 legislation was signed into law last year, establishing government COVID-19 “relief funding,” the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been providing what some have called “perverse incentives” awarding significantly more compensation to hospitals
if patients are classified as COVID-19 positive ($13,000)
or put on a ventilator ($39,000).
According to the testimony of one whistleblower,
such incentives, along with the policies of keeping family advocates out of the
hospital, can lead to a “perfect storm,” involving a “complete and absolute
disregard for human life” and many “unnecessary deaths.”
Corporate interference with doctors’ ‘ability to
practice independent medical judgment’
When asked to explain how
so many doctors could forgo prescribing treatments that work against COVID-19
and instead pressure patients to accept a ventilator, Vliet said that:
“the majority of primary
care doctors in the United States now … are employees of large, primary care,
outpatient practice groups. Most of the large groups are actually owned by the
hospital systems” which may tie the hands of physicians regarding the
prescribing of medications “off label” though it has been a common practice in
medicine immemorial.
As was the case with a friend of hers, who is a
doctor in one of these groups, the physicians have all been forbidden in many
places by their employers from prescribing hydroxychloroquine for
COVID-19.
“So, all of the proper off-label uses for hydroxychloroquine, for many things,
that many of us have done for years, was
forbidden to this group of doctors by corporate interference with their
ability to practice independent medical judgment,” Vliet explained.
Thus, “the large health systems are actually
controlling the outpatient practices and directing them not to do the
outpatient care, and that drives everybody into the box canyon of the hospital,
- where the diagnosis of COVID
increases the revenue.
- The use of Remdesivir …
increases the revenue, and where,
- as soon as they can get them on
the ventilator, it increases the revenue,” Vliet explained.
“The public needs to
understand that … patients are prisoners of protocols. They are not being
treated as individual patients for this situation,” she concluded.
Ross honored Wolski for her courage, boldness, and
wisdom.
“She stood strong in this incredible battle that
we’re seeing across the country, where our constitutional rights are being
violated,” Ross said.
“[Wolski] loved all people, she loved America, she
loved her faith, and in the end she fought till her death for medical freedom,”
she continued.
“She is an American hero, and her work will
continue.”

STUDY: Ivermectin is a “broad spectrum
antiviral of interest” for humans

(Natural News) In May 2020, Australian researchers published a little-known study in the journal Antiviral Research that presents
ivermectin, an FDA-approved
drug for humans, as a “broad
spectrum antiviral of interest.”
RNA viruses
such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, influenza and dengue fever, the
paper suggests, could be mitigated through the use of ivermectin, which blocks
viral components from taking hold inside the body.
“Although RNA
viruses replicate in the infected host cell cytoplasm, the nucleus is central
to key stages of the infectious cycle of HIV-1 and influenza, and an important
target of DENV nonstructural protein 5 (NS5) in limiting the host antiviral
response,” the paper explains.
“We
previously identified the small molecule ivermectin as an inhibitor of HIV-1
integrase nuclear entry, subsequently showing ivermectin could inhibit DENV NS5
nuclear import, as well as limit infection by viruses such as HIV-1 and DENV.”
Ivermectin’s
broad spectrum functionality includes its ability to target the host importin
(IMP) ?/?1 nuclear transport proteins that are responsible for nuclear entry of
cargoes such as integrase and NS5, the paper goes on to reveal.
“We establish
for the first time that ivermectin can dissociate the preformed IMP?/?1
heterodimer, as well as prevent its formation, through binding to the IMP?
armadillo (ARM) repeat domain to impact IMP? thermal stability and ?-helicity.”
It is a bit
complicated for the layperson to understand, but suffice it to say that
ivermectin, which was developed in Japan from a natural soil organism, inhibits
the attachment of viral components to human cells, effectively blocking
infection without the need for masks or “vaccines.”
“Since it is
FDA approved for parasitic indications, ivermectin merits closer consideration
as a broad spectrum antiviral of interest,” the paper concludes.
If the government really cared about saving lives, it would get
ivermectin into the hands of every American
This is critical
information that needs to get out there, especially as the mainstream media
continues to lie about ivermectin by calling it a “horse de-wormer.” While
ivermectin is, in fact, also used in animals, it was also approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans.
The drug
shows considerable promise in fighting the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), and is
widely used in India, as one example, to treat the disease. There, citizens are
being cured of their infections without the need for novel Big Pharma
therapeutics and mystery injections.
This explains
why ivermectin is so aggressively opposed here in the United States that it is
now almost impossible to get, except for the animal variety which is easily
accessible online and in feed stores, though those varieties are getting a lot
more expensive.
The lying
corporate media wants everyone to believe that ivermectin is nothing more than
“horse paste” that should never be consumed by humans. Fake news reports
continue to circulate about people “overdosing” on ivermectin, though several
of them have been debunked as made-up nonsense.
While it may
not be an absolute panacea against the Wuhan Flu, ivermectin deserves greater
attention than it is currently getting. At the very least, it needs to stop
being vilified by the medical fascists who refuse to look at the science
showing its safety and efficacy.
“Acknowledging
that any alternative is in any way effective against covid would automatically
mean that all EUAs for the ‘vaccines’ are illegal and in direct violation of
the FDA’s own rules,” wrote one commenter at Natural News.
“The
‘vaccines’ were just one of the many goals of the plandemic, and there is no
way they were going to not have them as soon as possible, regardless of how
many tens of thousands of people had to die. This is what crimes against
humanity also look like.”
