There are reasons why medical personnel call Remdesivir “run, death is near.” From Mary Beth Pfeiffer at rescue.substack.com:
Scott Mantel goes to court in what may be a landmark case for those who died when hospitals took government bonus money to give patients dangerous remdesivir while denying life-saving ivermectin.

Deborah Bucko, who died in 2021 from Covid complications at 52 years old, is pictured (clockwise from left) with her daughter, Chloe, then 15, in 2017; with her husband, Scott Mantel; and with her son, Hunter, then 11, in 2016. Her husband is alleging “wrongful death” in a lawsuit against a Long Island, N.Y., hospital.
When Covid-19 kicked in, so did a government plan.
The federal government would set the rules. Sick patients would hydrate and rest, going to hospitals only when symptoms worsened. Doctors who tried to treat with trusted medications—outpatient or in—would end up risking their licenses. For the first time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—lacking any statutory authority—would usurp the judgment of physicians.
That plan was in full sway when Deborah Bucko, short of breath and feverish from Covid, sought help on February 28, 2021, at a southern New York emergency room.
She died seventy-seven days later, at age 52, after a brutal battle with both a virus and the hospital that took her in.
Now a lawsuit filed by her husband, Scott Mantel, asserts that Mount Sinai Nassau South Hospital blocked potentially life-saving treatment and bears responsibility for Bucko’s “wrongful death.” The case, seeking damages, may be the first of its kind in the nation.
At the center of Scott Mantel’s fight is ivermectin, an FDA-approved drug that showed promise in treating Covid, keeping people out of hospitals, and—the likely reason it was sidelined—thwarting the government’s plan for mass vaccination with an experimental mRNA technology. There would be no need for that approach if a cheap, safe, FDA-approved drug could successfully treat Covid.
