Judge rules against wife seeking to treat husband w/ IVERMECTIN. Hospital cites LACK OF FDA APPROVAL. But the clotshots are okay?

HAMILTON, Ohio (WXIX) - West Chester Hospital is not required to give a man ivermectin as a form of treatment for COVID-19, which is against the wishes of a man’s wife, Common Pleas Court Judge Michael A. Oster Jr. ruled on Labor Day.

Jeffrey Smith, 51, a patient at the hospital, was prescribed 30 mg daily doses of ivermectin by his physician. Smith was diagnosed with COVID-19 in July and was placed in the hospital’s intensive care unit where he remains.

He no longer has an active COVID-19 infection but continues to suffer from “severe acute respiratory distress syndrome,” UC Health said Sept. 2 in a court filing obtained by our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The hospital refused the treatment citing lack of FDA approval, but Jeffrey’s wife, Julie Smith, filed a lawsuit with the hopes that the hospital would be ordered to do the treatment.
