Now Including Dr. Gold's White Paper on Hydroxychloroquine.
From treating COVID patients in her local hospital to fighting for the rights of frontline doctors, Dr. Simone Gold tells her story.
"The bumper-sticker directive to 'follow the science' was actually an evasion of responsibility. It let people off the hook for their bad decisions in a crisis. Was New York Governor Cuomo's executive order sending COVID-hospitalized patients back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable nursing home patients 'following the science'? Of course not. And sending post-hospitalization COVID-positive patients back to nursing homes was unnecessary. Relative to the total nursing home population, Governor Cuomo contributed to a larger percentage of nursing-home deaths-especially when compared to the states without such a policy. New Jersey's over seven thousand nursing home deaths account for half of the state's fatalities since March. Pennsylvania did just as miserably. These governors made specific decisions that cost thousands of the most vulnerable, most expendable, their lives. But they didn't do it to their own relatives."
