Canadian Doctor Says 'Something Malicious is Going On' After He's Punished For Treating COVID Patients with Ivermectin
Oct. 4, 2021
A Canadian emergency room physician has been banned from practicing medicine in Alberta after he defied the province's COVID treatment protocols by prescribing Ivermectin to three patients.
In a powerful speech last week, Dr. Daniel Nagase vented about the shoddy way COVID patients were being treated in a rural hospital in Alberta, and concluded that "something malicious is going on."
Nagase spoke on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery during an event commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials. The event was hosted by a nonpartisan local group called "Common Ground."
Nagase told American Greatness that he has been a doctor for over 15 years, and has been an emergency doctor for 10 years. Although he lives in Vancouver, he has been working as an emergency room doctor in rural underserviced communities throughout Alberta since 2015.
In his speech Friday, the doctor shared what happened when he tried to treat three patients in a small rural hospital with Ivermectin during the weekend of September 11. He blasted doctors and surgeons "who are standing in the way of life-saving medicine."
Nagase said that he gave his elderly patients one dose of Ivermectin, along with antibiotics, vitamins, and inhalers—which set two out of the three on a quick road to recovery. But when health authorities caught wind of what he was doing, all the medications, including the inhalers were taken away, and Nagase was relieved of his duties.
Brian Peckford, a former Premier of Newfoundland, provided the text of the doctor's speech on his blog, Peckford42.
"Let me tell you what happened in Rimbey Alberta, a small town couple hours west of Red Deer," Nagase said at the beginning of his speech. "It shocked me."
"I started on Saturday morning in the ER, and when it came time to round on the ward patients, the charge nurse informed me that 3 of the patients on the COVID wing had deteriorated overnight.
All the patients were on Oxygen and extremely short of breath. The only medication these patients were on were steroids—a medication that will decrease inflammation but increase the chances of a bacterial infection by suppressing the immune system. That's right, the only medication the COVID patients at this hospital were on were immune suppressants.
One woman said it felt like we just put her in a corner to die. We weren't doing anything for her. I told her, I can't speak for the usual doctors during the week, but it's the weekend, and I'll do everything I can to help. I offered Ivermectin. She wanted to try it because she heard nothing but good things about it. All 3 patients wanted to try ivermectin.
The hospital didn't have any, so we had to ask Red Deer Hospital's Central Pharmacy for the medication. They refused to send Ivermectin. Red Deer's central pharmacist said Ivermectin was useless for COVID. He even had the Pharmacy Director for all of Alberta contact me to tell me Ivermectin didn't work.
The Pharmacy Director for Alberta Health services is Dr. Gerald Lazarenko. Remember that name. He is both a Pharmacist and a Doctor. And he insisted that Ivermectin had no place in the treatment of COVID. So we checked the local pharmacies. And God bless that charge nurse, although both pharmacies in town did not have ivermectin, there was one pharmacist who would do everything he could to get some even if it took all day.
We didn't have all day, my patients were sick. So I started everyone on the next best thing, Hydroxychloroquine which the hospital did have. I also started Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc. And because the patients were coughing and short of breath I gave them inhalers… Salbutamol and Flovent, the same inhalers that have been used for asthma for over 50 years. I also gave them Azithromycin.
Surprisingly by late afternoon, the town pharmacist finally found some ivermectin.
He couldn't get it from his usual chemical supply, because it was a Saturday. He had to get it from an agricultural supply. He checked to make sure that it was the exact same Ivermectin a pharmacist would give to a person, brought it back to his pharmacy and checked it again. He then called me with the good news. I handed Ivermectin to each of my 3 patients with their exact dose of according to their weight.
And you'll never guess what happened next. Within hours of getting Ivermectin, I got a call from the Central Zone medical director, Dr Jennifer Bestard. She called me to tell me I was forbidden from giving Ivermectin to patients. I told her she's never met the patients, she's not their doctor, and had no right to be changing the care of my patients without the patient's permission.
