THREAD: @nick_lawyer, health officer in Sanders County, MT says he was forced to resign after a local man blamed him for his wife’s death. The man accused Lawyer of preventing his wife from receiving Ivermectin, hydroxchloroquine & antibodies before she died due to Covid (1/9)
Ivermectin and hydroxchloroquine are not proven to be effective treatments against COVID-19 and they are recommended for us by the FDA or CDC. Monoclonal antibodies is proven to be effective but Nick Lawyer says, in this case, the patient was in the ICU. (2/9)
A patient in the ICU would usually be too sick to receive monoclonal antibodies. There is a window of time that a patient has before they are no longer eligible to receive that antibody treatment. (3/9) more here: www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow…

Houston doctor cleared of COVID vaccine theft charge will sue county seeking $1 million +
Dr. Hasan Gokal claims he was discriminated against on the basis of race & national origin.
He insists he did the right thing. He was vindicated when the criminal case against him fell apart
The story of his firing & the subsequent filing of criminal charges gained international attention when it broke, but headlines were not as prominent & glaring when the criminal case that the District Attorney @kimoggforda brought against Gokal collapsed. cbsnews.com/news/hasan-gok…
The lawsuit will seek damages based on what Gokal claims is "mental anguish, economic loss & loss of reputation." Gokal told me he first learned Ogg had charged him with theft by a public servant while watching local news. Her office never interviewed him.

THREAD: Keighlie Renee Reaux, 24, died today.
She had been hospitalized, due to Covid, since August 5th. She died today at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, LA. She had been on a ventilator since August 9th. Keighlie had gone on a July 4th family vacation.
Everyone on the trip contracted Covid. None of them were vaccinated. All of them recovered, except for Keighlie, who was 38 weeks pregnant, at the time. When she started feeling severely ill, doctors performed an emergency C-section and delivered her baby boy Krew.
He was healthy and still is today. She never got to hold him. Keighlie’s parents have been caring for him while holding vigil for their daughter who fought hard for more than a month.

Next week on @CBSMornings, the story we drove up on in Barataria, LA.
Hard hit by hurricane Ida, flood water sent caskets floating away. A neighbor’s kindness brought comfort to 1 woman’s family. What happened, & what the state is doing to make it right, on Tuesday morning.
To see one like this is sobering.
It’s quieting.
It’s thought provoking.
Louisiana may be only state in the country to have a Cemetery Response Task Force. It’s their obligation to identify who’s in the casket and to ensure that there is a proper reburial.
This is Ryan Seidemann, chairman of the task force. He’s taken aerial helicopter flights above hurricane ravaged areas in Louisiana. He found multiple cemetery’s disturbed by flood water & caskets that floated away. Some far. Some within eye sight of the original resting place.

We interviewed Dr. Hasan Kakli 2 weeks ago when he tried everything to save the life of a US Army veteran who died of a treatable condition b/c he couldn’t get emergency care fast enough. Dr. Kakli told us then: come spend 12hrs with me in the E.R. We did.
Dr. Hasan Kakli: “Covid is kicking humanity's ass, and as a member, as a team player on team Humanity, I take that personally."
Dr. Hasan Kakli, who works at El Campo Memorial Hospital Emergency Department in Texas, is in a race against time to give patients specialized care with a lack of resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic. cbsnews.com/video/weve-nev…

Tomorrow on @CBSMornings our report from inside the E.R. at El Campo Memorial Hospital, a rural lifeline 76mls SW of Houston. When Dr. Hasan Kakli opened his computer he couldn’t believe his sickest patients were waiting thousands of minutes for an ICU bed. Why the wait? Covid.
“You would never see four digits on minutes since checked in. We’re four digits minutes, thousands of minutes. We’ve never seen this. Ever. Ever.”
“We see like 200 minutes since checked in, 250 minutes since checked in. We all get antsy, like why is this patient still here, we got to get them out, get them out, get the helicopter, get whoever, let’s get a bed for them.”
