This is about making money I guess hospitals get money from gov with patients that are in the ICU why they will do early treatment? this is really sad that so many people died unnecessary .

Follow up by Dr. Urso - addresses doctors threatened to have licenses revoked if treating off label cocktails. This starts a bad chain of events of not treating patients and letting them die.

It is a Kafkaesque world indeed if you talk about early treatment, and are called a charlatan.
I have experienced much the same on some of the larger sub-reddits - who have all somehow taken on the mantle of clamping down on any mention of early treatment as unscientific.
For them, science means just parroting journal articles back and forth as tokens - the currency of discussion.
There is no room for meta-analysis, for analysis and opinion borne out of experience (which is in fact the raw material for science - observation, conjecture, theory making).
In this alternative view, anything that strays off this is considered a danger to society - and they seem quite unaware that they are not accounting for the danger of not doing anything.
I was recently banned on a major sub-reddit for mentioning anecdotal evidence - I don't blame them for that because they have constructed their rules to ban such comments (but what was the compulsion to ban the public to discuss among themselves in comments, esp since discussions do have a tendency to veer) - I had emphasized the need for steroids at the hyperinflammatory stage - which is a very established treatment by now - but in those sub-reddit worlds it was something new and unproven via journal article, not yet established - mention of that was dangerous (not mentioning is not dangerous?).
The reality is NOT mentioning this to people at the right time is more dangerous - as Dr McCullough says everyone who tests positive is sent home confused with signal given that nothing can be done for them. Delay of info to the public is what causes them to not come to hospital early.
Not mentioned here is that many hospitals at the height of a wave have turned away patients. The oximeter readings required to get attention has dropped from 95 to 93 to lower, depending on the crisis at the hospital.
I have suggested before that in order to prevent deaths, there needs to be a moratorium on restriction of essential drugs - so they are available over the counter. Hospitals need to depute a small team that when turning away patients, at least gives them a small medicine packet with the essential drug cocktail, with instructions to take the steroids when oximeter starts falling.
Dr McCullough says much the same when he questions physicians who turn away patients by saying "I don't treat covid19 patients". That maybe ok if they don't know what to give them. But he says do they call the patient after 2 days to check up on them - how are they doing? If they don't, they are violating their Hippocratic Oath.
The general public, and many doctors who haven't snapped out of their trance yet, are not aware of the existence of early treatment via drug cocktails that are designed to cover many possibilities. In many cases these doctors have not had the time to research - so they bank on FDA, NIH and others and their messaging. Other doctors do research, but confine themselves to CNN and other media, who tend to cause alarm about early treatment strategies.
As Dr McCullough says, the policemen demand each ingredient show efficacy in RCTs. What these policemen miss is that when treating patients what matters is the performance of the cocktail - the science will figure out later why it worked. That is how science works - someone experimentally discovers something that goes against established theory, and in time the theory evolves so it can explain all the data.
Dr McCullough's talk encapsulates most of what bugs social media platforms regarding open thinking about solutions to our current predicament.
By censoring early treatment as something which CANNOT be possible, and which MUST therefore be dangerous and should be censored, these groups are betraying their naivete. They are completely missing the bigger danger of keeping life saving early treatment out of the hands of and perceptions of patients and doctors. Some of these actors who are willing enforcers of such actions, may be doing so out of naivete, but it must be an incredible level of naivete.
