How so?

He was already in a medically induced coma on his last legs. He was dying. Ivermectin was a hail Mary - and the hospital's actions delayed treatment by WEEKS.

Even if Ivermectin proves completely useless, the hospital was following the rest of the treatment protocol. They did not stop other treatment.

And if Ivermectin WOULD HAVE been helpful, the hospital forcing the delay in treatment as his condition worsened effectively killed him.

No way to know, for sure. But this wasn't Darwin.

"Keith Smith, whose wife had gone to court to have his COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin, died Sunday evening, a week after he received his first dose of the controversial drug.

He was 52.

Smith was in a hospital in Pennsylvania for nearly three weeks and had been in the hospital’s intensive care unit in a medically induced coma on a ventilator since Nov. 21. He had been diagnosed with the virus on Nov. 10.

His wife of 24 years, Darla, had gone to court to compel the hospital, UPMC Memorial, to treat her husband with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has not been approved for treatment of COVID-19.

York County Court Judge Clyde Vedder’s Dec. 3 decision did not compel the hospital to treat Keith with the drug, but it did allow Darla to have an independent physician administer it. He received two doses before Keith’s condition grew worse, and the doctor halted the treatment."...
