Health System Bans Ivermectin For Covid In Houston — Ron Watkins just posted on his Telegram channel this memo from St. Luke’s Health prohibiting the prescription of ivermectin to Covid-19 patients.
St. Luke’s is affiliated with Baylor University and serves the Houston area.
Tip to the residents of Houston suffering from C-19: Call yourself a refugee.
Ivermectin is a remarkably safe drug. The National Institute of Health says it can be administered by non-medical staff and even illiterate individuals in remote rural communities.
We are not asking that ivermectin be sold over the counter such as dangerous drugs like Advil. We are just asking that doctors be allowed to prescribe it without administrative interference.
Is that too much?
Health System Bans Ivermectin For Covid In Houston
The State Department recently identified 19 U.S. cities as preferred destinations for Afghan refugees. Chosen because they’re “locations with reasonable cost of living, housing availability, supportive services, and welcoming communities with volunteers and resources,” the list includes Cleveland, Buffalo, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Baltimore, as well as other Southwest and Rocky Mountain cities like Salt Lake, Denver and Phoenix.
The usual suspects – the White House, the media, the bicoastal elites, 100 percent of congressional Democrats, and 80 percent of virtue-signaling congressional Republicans, a rough estimate based on how few in the GOP have objected – can barely contain their glee over what promises to be, at least in the initial refugee wave, between 22,000 and 30,000 Afghan arrivals. Even former President Donald Trump, who slashed refugee resettlement to historically low annual levels, advocated for resettling Afghans who assisted U.S. military, a category that’s broad enough to include office personnel and other nonessential workers.
But few are more thrilled than the “volunteers and resources” groups noted above, also known as “volags” – voluntary agencies – the so-called faith-based organizations, often disparagingly called the refugee resettlement industry. In her 2018 research report compiled from the latest publicly available data, senior researcher Dr. Nayla Rush of the Center for Immigration Studies found that the federal government funded the nine major U.S. volags at the rate of 58 percent to 97 percent. Taxpayer funds go to provide refugees support with housing, food, clothing, community orientation, English lessons, enrollment in various benefits and welfare programs, referral to social service providers including health care, and employment. Volags’ chief operating officers earned, at the time of Dr. Rush’s research, annual salaries that range from a low of $132,000 to a high of $671,749.
Although many resettlement workers may be motivated by good intentions, the indisputable conclusion is that, since volags are reimbursed on a per-capita basis, fewer refugees also mean fewer jobs and less income for the agencies and their employees. Logically, volags anticipate that the Afghan crisis represents a potential pot of post-Trump gold, and are pressuring Biden to expedite the maximum total of refugees. As Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service’s president and CEO Krish O’Mara Vignarajah candidly said, “We’ve been screaming from the rooftops for months now that we need to get these allies to Guam or another U.S. territory.”
Earlier this summer, the Senate, in anticipation of what it knew would be a significant Afghan refugee influx, unanimously passed a bill that provided $1 billion toward easing the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) application process. SIVs are issued to nationals of countries who have assisted U.S. military forces, often as translators. To coincide with the Senate bill, the State Department announced that it would confer Priority-2 (P-2) designation that grants access for permanent U.S. residency to certain Afghan nationals and their eligible family members that don’t or haven’t yet qualified for SIVs. Included would be Afghans who worked for U.S. government contractors, for U.S.-funded programs, or U.S.-based media or nongovernmental organizations, as well as their families.
John Kirby, assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, enthusiastically proclaimed that “we want to have the capacity to get up to several thousand immediately and want to be prepared for the potential of tens of thousands….We’re going to focus on getting as many folks [Afghan refugees] out as we can.” What total “many folks” might climb to, no one can predict. In a letter to Biden, U.S. representatives Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) urged the president to set the refugee cap at “no less than 200,000,” an increase of nearly 140,000 from the 62,500 established for 2021, and many thousands more than the 125,000 the White House previously said it would seek in 2022. Other advocates want 1.2 million Afghans resettled. In Congress, the progressive caucus speaks loudly, and has significant sway with its receptive audience in the White House. Reaching 200,000 refugees in fiscal 2022 sounds like a stretch, but it would be consistent with the Biden administration’s America-Last agenda which has been on full display at the Southwest border since Day 1.

Some $85 billion worth of America’s most advanced military technology was left behind in Afghanistan, a shocking revelation that by itself would justify President Biden’s removal from office, along with his entire national security team. Biden has given new meaning to the term “cut and run” by abandoning American citizens while permitting an immense cache of advanced weapons to be used against them.
We are not just talking about a few guns or hand grenades. The abandoned American equipment includes more than 109 helicopters, 22,170 Humvees, 8,000 trucks, 64,300 machine guns, and 358,530 assault rifles, according to the non-partisan U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Jim Banks (R-IN), who is in the House Republican leadership after serving with our troops in Afghanistan, observed last week that the Taliban has “more Black Hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world.” At least 33 Black Hawk helicopters are in the Taliban’s hands now.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan previously admitted that the Biden Administration lacks a “complete picture“ of all of the military equipment it left behind. In addition, databases of Americans and our allies are probably with the Taliban, too.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan previously admitted that the Biden Administration lacks a “complete picture“ of all of the military equipment it left behind.
Since 2007, our troops have collected biometric data about residents of Afghanistan by using mobile technology including the Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) and Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE). These tools include a fingerprint reader, iris scanner, and camera, in order to build facial and fingerprint watchlists.
Placement on a watchlist in the United States can result in being kept off an airplane, which is inconvenient. But inclusion in these watchlists in Afghanistan can result in death.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki gave an unpersuasive denial of a report, by the left-leaning news website Politico, that the Biden Administration had given the names of attempted evacuees to the Taliban. The reality is that Biden has no idea whether such a list has been given to the enemy.
“First let me say there have been reports that we provided lists of people who want to leave Afghanistan to the Taliban. That’s inaccurate. That’s misreported and misconstrued,” Psaki insisted.
But last Thursday Biden himself admitted that he did know enough about such a list to respond to questions about it. He declared that he could not state “with any certitude that there’s actually been a list of names.”
The biometric database, now presumably in the hands of the Taliban, is a deadly “kill list.” It potentially provides the Taliban with photos and fingerprints of Afghans who supported or assisted American soldiers, and those Afghans now face deadly reprisal.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was reportedly vacationing at his family’s luxurious home in exclusive East Hampton, Long Island, as the Taliban was overthrowing the Afghan government. Blinken has so misjudged the rapid takeover of Afghanistan that he should resign immediately.
Incredibly, the Western-installed president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, is a former Berkeley anthropology professor entirely unsuited for the challenge of his job, just as Biden is. As reported by the Washington Post, Ghani was more interested in early August in digitizing the Afghan economy than in defending against the invasion of his own capital.
“We never thought we would take Kabul so quickly,” a Taliban commander marveled. With Biden officials departed for an early weekend and the Afghan president having abruptly fled the country, there was no leadership for any earnest defense.
Military equipment can be replaced, but our trapped Americans cannot. Our equipment can now be used by terrorists against our own citizens there and elsewhere. “If there’s American citizens left, we’re gonna stay to get them all out,” Biden declared on August 18. But Biden then broke his promise by pulling out of Afghanistan before evacuating all of our citizens who want to leave.
“We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out,” Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr., admitted Monday evening as the final American troops were withdrawn from the country, even earlier than the deadline demanded by the Taliban. The remaining Americans are targets for terrorists as bargaining chips, or worse.
Under President Trump’s leadership, only 3 American soldiers died in the second half of last year in Afghanistan. Biden’s failure to secure Kabul airport and Bagram Air Base for the evacuation resulted in the horrible massacre of 13 American troops last week, nearly all in their early 20s and whose heartbreaking photos are being shared in eulogy across the internet.
While American citizens were left behind to face the Taliban alone, tens of thousands of Afghan men, women, and children are being airlifted and resettled inside our country, and there is no way to adequately vet them. Far from eradicating terrorism in Afghanistan, Biden has equipped and facilitated it.

Covid Twin Towers Connection Subject Of Webinar –We have learned not to laugh at conspiracy theories. Granted, that doesn’t mean we believe them, but being as how “President” Biden said in July that the Taliban would not take over Afghanistan; The World Health Organization said there was no evidence Covid-19 could be transmitted person to person; the establishment said that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are dangerous (but Oxycontin wasn’t); that saying Covid-19 came from a Chinese lab was spreading a “conspiracy theory”; that Maricopa County has yet to turn its routers to the Arizona Senate as part of a vote fraud investigation; that there are 15 million mail-in ballots unaccounted for from November’s election; etcetera; etcetera; etcetera; we no longer laugh at them.
Bob Small tells us that the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry is presenting on the web from 1-9 p.m., Sept. 11; 9/11-anthrax to the Pandemic; Life and Liberty in the Balance. The committee says it will present many outstanding speakers who will address the crimes of 9/11 as well as the continuing assault on civil liberties resulting from the present pandemic and show the connections between 9/11 and Covid-19.

Ivermectin Recommended For Refugees By The CDC — Dr. Simone Gold, the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, tweeted an hour ago that the CDC is recommending administering ivermectin as presumptive therapy (giving medication without a diagnosis) to refugees.
Sick, twisted monsters are in charge of this nation’s health care.
Government Rationing Regeneron It’s Revealed — The establishment media is not a watchdog of government but its mere mouthpiece so we will share this Twitter thread from Jim Jackson, who describes himself as Urgent Care specialist, golf addict, UTMB + TAMU, life member #NRA, #RuleofLaw, #MAGA forever.
Jackson reveals that the government is now rationing monoclonal antibody distribution, and claims it is specifically aimed at areas with low vaccination rates.
Monoclonal antibodies treatment i.e. Regeneron has been proved to be successful against Covid-19.
So ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are stridently discouraged, and now Regeneron is rationed.
They’re still pushing the barely tested vaccines, though.
What kind of monsters have we put in charge of our health?
See where West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice just said that Covid deaths of vaccinated people have increased 25 percent? Of course not. Thank you Jamie Dlux for reporting this.
Here’s Jackson’s Tweets in case they should disappear.
Here’s a screen shot of the announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Emergency site.
HCQ and ivermectin — well, cough, not if you have a, cough, horse — may be hard to get but Vitamin D and C are sold OTC as is zinc and Quercetin, which Dr. Zev Zelenko says is an emergency substitute for the prescription drugs.
Dr. Zelenko is selling a convenience pack here. Note that Zelenko has been outspoken that you can buy the ingredients elsewhere online and at most drug stores, and is quite open with how you should take it.
