Dr. Soumya Swaminathan could face the death penalty for discouraging a life-saving treatment.
Criminal prosecution of public health officials will send a powerful signal that disinformation campaigns resulting in death carry consequences. Perhaps this pathway will ultimately break the disinformation and censorship stranglehold around repurposed drug use to save lives. Maybe we will witness other countries following India’s example, both in medicine and in law. …
The entire world witnessed the effectiveness of Ivermectin against India’s deadly second surge as the locations that adopted it saw their outbreaks quickly extinguished in stark contrast to those states that did not.
Among the most prominent examples include the Ivermectin areas of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Goa where cases dropped 98%, 97%, 94%, and 86%, respectively. By contrast, Tamil Nadu opted out of Ivermectin. As a result, their cases skyrocketed and rose to the highest in India. Tamil Nadu deaths increased ten-fold.
Thus, the various states of India unwittingly became test and control for ivermectin.

From what I’ve seen in my research, ivermectin probably works better than HCQ; but ivermectin was first suggested as a prevention and treatment for COVID-19 later in the timeline. Had HCQ been issued to the population shortly after its first mention as potential prevention and treatment for COVID-19, it may well be that the pandemic could have been quashed very soon after its emergence in the US. A great many deaths could have been prevented by allowing prophylactic use of HCQ. Instead, the timeline shows that politicians blocked the use of this drug approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Remember, the FDA normally allows for off-label prescribing by doctors. And yet, for this pandemic, doctors were discouraged or even prevented from prescribing HCQ for COVID-19 patients even though standard policies should have allowed them to do so. The same policies for off-label prescribing should also have allowed the prescribing of ivermectin for COVID-19. Instead, doctors have been forced in some cases to obtain court orders in order to be allowed to use HCQ or ivermectin to save dying patients. With Dr. Soumya Swaminathan’s case, we are now beginning to see the legal blowback for meddling with doctors’ ability to treat their patients. Policy makers, politicians, and the media including fact checkers need to answer for the disinformation they imposed and spread and the resulting deaths they have caused.
