I have been wondering why hospitals have been failing (my opinion only) in treating COVID patients with all at their disposal instead of just vaccines, Remdesivir and ventilators.
Please read the below as to what appears to be the reason.

But first, I need to advise everyone about a quiet little bill sneaking its way through the Florida Legislature right now, scheduled to be passed by itself on Wednesday. HB 7021 will extend hospitals’ Covid-19 lawsuit immunity until June 23, 2023. It is a disaster. It must be stopped.
The bill may be well-intentioned. When the original liability-shield law was passed early in the pandemic, there was concern that if businesses lifted mask mandates, or hospitals got creative with Covid treatments different from the CDC’s recommendations, then pro-lockdowners would file a million frivolous lawsuits claiming they caught Covid when they walked into a mask-free store or something.
But, particularly with hospitals, the liability shield law backfired. Because the hospitals only get the shield if they follow recognized Covid-19 standards. In the case of hospitals, that ironically means following the CDC’s Covid-19 treatment protocol, which hasn’t changed since the days of remdesivir and ventilators. Which we now know kill a lot of people who might otherwise survive if treated using more up-to-date methods.
In other words, ironically, if hospitals follow the CDC’s death protocol, they are immune from lawsuits. But if they administer ivermectin, for example, they would probably lose their liability shield. So the well-intended liability shield law cemented in the most deadly, disastrous treatment scheme now imaginable.
Extending that shield another year would be disastrous. What is happening to Covid patients in hospitals right now is a tragedy of historic proportions. While the liability shield law may not be the ONLY problem, it is a BIG problem, and a big PART of the problem. It must end, which it would by its own terms this June, unless it’s extended.

I think it's just that they've become a cult. Suppose I could fetch the audio from my phonecall with that infectious disease specialist unsolicitedly pitching me his unremarkable personal qualifications in the hopes that I'd enable his bizarre addiction to administering Remdesivir in the time crunch before mom's immune system could show up and prove just how unnecessary a drug it was.
God bless this single party consent recording state. If you're ever dealing with the less-than-trustworthy and your isolated loved one's life is on the line, you'll at least be able to replay their sales pitch to fully process what's going on, and to be certain that yes.. they basically just asked you to "drink the koolaid because most everyone else is drinking the koolaid and only a handful of patients organs have started to fail after they drank the koolaid, and that's what the CDC recommends, would reeeally hate for them to die because you didn't wanna drink the koolaid too"
does anyone have liability for anything covid related? Seems everyone is shielded from consequences. Gov't, big pharma, treating physicians. I'm not a lawyer but does the "do no harm" thing ever come into play? People making the rules have really let covid become the wild west. unreal
agreed. I guess I meant wild west in the sense that traditional and ration rules have been tossed aside and politicians are doing whatever they want. Constitutions be damned!
Wild west for the people is great. Wild west for the politicians is dangerous and according to the above deadly.
Yeah they're nuts, I remember arguing with my maritally-brainwashed "15 days for grandma" brother about it from day one of it all, and sure enough it has been every bit the power grab that my apparently tinfoil-hatted head was afraid of.
thank you for this information. I have been wondering why hospitals were not using more current protocols. This makes sense.

Man I love the wild west though, I would take the wild west all day over what we have now. People innovate in the absence of gov
