Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) Co-Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Marik filed a lawsuit against Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
Dr. Marik’s legal action is in response to Sentara’s policy for banning the use of Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment.
Dr. Marik is the director of the hospital’s critical care unit and contends the policy will result in needless deaths.

WTKR 3 reported:
In this lawsuit, Doctor Paul Marik , the director of the hospital’s critical care unit, says Sentara’s ban of its use to treat patients with Ivermectin is deadly, and against the law.
Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug, widely used to treat worms in horses and cows, that has been at the center of controversy over COVID-19 care.
In the 80 page document, Dr. Marik said Sentara issued a directive to doctors last month banning the use of including Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients, unless they were part of a clinical trial.
He also made a claim in the lawsuit that said Sentara’s policy may have led to the deaths of four of his patients who were never given the opportunity to learn of or be treated with potentially life-saving medicines.
Dr. Marik’s of Ivermectin was the subject of Jessica Larche’s investigation in September..
Dr. Marik and his international group of doctors point to a list of smaller studies that suggest the drug is safe and effective at treating COVID-19.
Other doctors say there needs to be more data for there to be bigger clinical trials.
Sentara’s policy stems from an article retraction of an FLCCC paper from the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine.
In the paper, it’s stated the COVID-19 mortality rate from the MATH+ protocol was 6.1%.
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital claimed the mortality rate in patients receiving all four MATH+ protocols was 28%.
The hospital’s notice led to the retraction of the paper and the policy to ban the use of Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients.
Authors claimed mortality rate under MATH+ protocol was 6.1%. But Sentara Norfolk General Hospital data shows mortality in patients receiving at least 1 of the MATH+ protocols was 24.7%. In patients receiving all four MATH+ protocols it was 28%. pic.twitter.com/JgprDfRZx1

Dr. Pierre Kory of the FLCCC responded to the article retraction:
This was a comprehensive paper – 13 sections, nearly 200 scientific references detailing the science behind each MATH+ element of the 2020 protocol. The data in question was in 1 section and WAS ACCURATE when we originally submitted- i.e. a 6% COVID mortality at Sentara (2/8)
— Pierre Kory, MD MPA (@PierreKory) November 11, 2021
Using Sentara's method, they came up with a 10% mortality – STILL FAR LESS than the 23% U.S hospital mortality average average we were loosely comparing it to. (4/8)
— Pierre Kory, MD MPA (@PierreKory) November 11, 2021
We then provided the only follow-up data we had – JICM refused to accept. We then offered to retract the entire section with the old Sentara data – JICM refused. The conclusion of the paper (it was a RATIONALE paper) still stands without the Sentara data even being included. 6/8
— Pierre Kory, MD MPA (@PierreKory) November 11, 2021
If medical research is there just to serve in supporting mainstream collective thinking and censor those who might have alternative approaches or differing interpretations, the future of medicine will be very dark. (8/8)

A counter-attack on the unprecedented hospital restrictions of a physicians ability to practice medicine in COVID was launched by Prof. Marik last night.
A major 1st step to restoring the critical role of expert (not "captured-agency") decision-making at the bedside. IT IS ON https://t.co/tZ6ypzAG3K

FLCCC issued this press release:
Paul Marik, MD, one of the most highly published critical care physicians in the world and the Director of the ICU at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, was recently told by Sentara Healthcare that he could no longer administer a range of highly effective COVID-19 treatments to critically ill patients—the same treatments he has successfully used to reduce COVID deaths in the ICU by as much as 50%. The result of the prohibition has been a sharp increase in patient mortality. Because Dr. Marik can no longer stand by while patients needlessly die without proper treatment, he has filed a lawsuit to allow him and his colleagues to administer the combination of FDA-approved drugs and other therapies that has saved thousands of critically ill COVID-19 patients in the last 18 months.
The Complaint filed today in the Circuit Court for the City of Norfolk, Virginia states that Sentara Healthcare is “preventing terminally ill COVID patients from exercising their right to choose and to receive safe, potentially life-saving treatment determined to be appropriate for them by their attending physician.” Under Virginia law, every patient has the right to receive treatment deemed appropriate for them by their attending physician, and terminally ill patients have the right to try investigational medicines that their treating physician recommends. Through
its arbitrary prohibition of the COVID-19 treatment protocol developed by Dr. Marik and his colleagues, Sentara is violating the law and unjustly depriving critically ill patients of lifesaving treatment.“This case is about doctors, having the ability to honor their Hippocratic Oath, to follow evidence-based medicine, and to treat our patients the best we know how. Corporations and faceless bureaucrats should not be allowed to interfere with doctor-patient decisions, especially when it can result in harm or death.” according to Paul Marik, MD, chief, Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, Eastern Virginia Medical School, who practices in the Sentara
Norfolk General Hospital. “I refuse to watch another patient die from COVID-19 knowing that I was not allowed to give them proven treatments that could have saved their life.”According to an accompanying declaration from a renowned critical care specialist recently recognized by the United Nations for his life-saving work, Joseph Varon, MD, the COVID-19 treatment protocol developed by Dr. Marik and his colleagues, called the “MATH+ Protocol,” has achieved at least a 50% reduction in deaths from the virus in the hospitals where he serves as Chief of Staff.
“The Sentara Healthcare System’s prohibition of the MATH+ protocol is a threat to every doctor and every patient in the U.S.,” said Pierre Kory, president and chief medical officer of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). “We know the protocol is effective. Patients who could have been saved by MATH+ are dying because of the hospital’s baseless restriction. We will continue to see more deaths that could have been prevented until the court takes action and orders the hospital to reverse course.”
The MATH+ protocol has been used all over the world to effectively treat patients with COVID19. It is generally well-tolerated with no reports of adverse medical events. In its September 27 memo to employees, Sentara Healthcare System tried to justify prohibiting many of medications in the MATH+ protocol by claiming it “is not supported in peer-reviewed, published RCTs,” (Randomized Controlled Trials). However, this claim is demonstrably false. Peer-reviewed published RCTs do support the use many of the medications Sentara has prohibited, including fluvoxamine and ivermectin.
“The FLCCC stands behind Paul 100%,” said Dr. Kory. “We take an oath as doctors to do no harm. I can’t think of a way of doing more harm to a patient than to not administer a treatment that you know can help them. No doctor should be forced to watch their patient die knowing that more could have been done to save them and that is exactly what Sentara is doing.”
Sentara Healthcare sent a statement about the lawsuit to WTKR 3:
“Sentara Healthcare is consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the nation for quality and patient safety, and follows evidence-based protocols to treat COVID-19 as recommended by trusted agencies including the CDC, NIH and FDA. All of these agencies currently do not recommend the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19 due to a lack of evidence regarding its safety and efficacy. Sentara generates treatment guidelines by engaging multi-disciplinary groups of clinicians to review literature, care standards and provide expert advice. In most situations, physicians are able to deviate from guidelines to individualize care for patients. However, in some scenarios, treatments that may potentially harm patients or that are widely considered to be outside the standard of care may be limited.
To that end, COVID-19 treatment guidelines at Sentara have been consistently communicated to all medical staff throughout the pandemic using usual channels. The most recent guidelines generated by the multi-disciplinary group of clinicians did include, but were not limited to, guidance on the use of ivermectin. All members of the medical staff receive the same guidelines.
Of note, on Tuesday, November 9, prior to when we were informed about Dr. Marik’s lawsuit, the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine’s (JICM) editorial board retracted a recent article that Dr. Marik co-authored on the MATH+ protocol, in which ivermectin is used. Sentara Healthcare felt obligated to reach out to JICM with our concerns about Sentara Norfolk General Hospital data that the authors used to make conclusions, and provide accurate data to the Journal. After thorough review by JICM’s editorial board, the article was retracted. The Journal followed their retraction guidelines and procedures.
Sentara Healthcare is currently studying this lawsuit and offers no further comment on it at this time.”
Of note, I’ve reported on Ivermectin’s extensive use for COVID-19 treatment in countries like Japan & India.
A quick glimpse at the Japan & India Worldometer charts presents the resounding success of widespread Ivermectin usage for early treatment and prophylaxis of COVID-19.
Here’s even more on Ivermectin and the TRUTH behind it:
Longtime readers of WeLoveTrump know that I don’t use the word “Bombshell” very often.
Only 1-2 times a year.
In fact, I have an internal policy that it can’t be used more often than that.
So when I do use it I really want it to mean something….and I’m using it right here, right now!
I want to talk Ivermectin and the TRUTH behind Ivermectin.
I’ve finally had enough of all the MSM garbage about Ivermectin that I had to write this article and bring you the TRUTH.
Sound good?
Ok, let’s jump in.
First we’re going to show you how the MSM lies and twists just like that old sssssserpent in the Garden….and then I’m going to drop the bombshell on you direct from their own website.
I will give you one disclaimer before we get started: I am a journalist and not anyone with any medical expertise. I’m not a doctor and I’m not giving medical advice.
I’m just presenting you with the results of my research that the MSM really seems to want to hide….
Let’s start with this….if you post this to Facebook it will get flagged and taken down and you’ll be in FB Jail for 30 days:
The only problem?
It’s a true statement.
Ivermectin has been FDA approved for over two decades and it is one of the absolute SAFEST drugs out there, on par with aspirin!
Here’s how PolitiFact tries to claim that the TRUE statement is still somehow false, watch these mental gymnastics:
This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
It is true that ivermectin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration that year — but not to treat the coronavirus. The drug was approved for strongyloidiasis, a disease caused by a roundworm, and onchocerciasis, or river blindness, which is caused by a parasitic worm.
The drug was approved for humans under the brand name Stromectol, National Geographic reported, and since then it’s been recognized as a safe treatment for several tropical diseases caused by parasites. In 2015, two scientists even won a Nobel Prize for their discovery of ivermectin and its use to treat diseases caused by parasites.
But unlike, say, river blindness, COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus, not by parasites. And as PolitiFact recently reported in a story exploring ivermectin, there’s no conclusive evidence that ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.
The lying and the deception is just so evil, really makes me angry.
If you gave me a full year, I couldn’t come up with all the twists and turns these people take to turn the TRUTH into a lie.
It’s sickening.
But we’re just getting started.
Next come the scare tactics and VERY misleading headlines.
Like this article from WIVB Channel 4 News:
After a recent resurgence in several states, health officials are warning residents to be aware of a dangerous of an unauthorized “treatment” for COVID-19 — often being taken with dangerous consequences.
It’s called ivermectin and it’s used to treat and prevent parasites in animals, the Food and Drug Administration explains. The tablets are not FDA approved for treatment of COVID-19 in humans and isn’t even an anti-viral drug — meaning it has no impact on the coronavirus. And because the large-concentration tablets are intended for large animals, these can be treacherous for humans.
In addition to not being authorized for treatment, there’s no evidence ivermectin treats COVID-19.
“There’s a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin. That is wrong.”
FDA
The FDA and several state officials say they’ve seen an uptick in calamitous use of the drugs, particularly tablets used to treat parasitic worms in horses. While ivermectin is approved for humans to treat certain skin conditions (rosacea) and certain external parasites like head lice, the FDA warns this ivermectin is different than the one used in animals.On Friday, the Mississippi Department of Health was forced to send out a warning to residents about the dangers of the drug after several poisonings.
The Mississippi Poison Control Center said at least 70% of recent ivermectin-related calls are tied to people taking livestock or animal formulations they bought a livestock supply stores or through online markets.
Eighty-five percent of callers had mild symptoms — these include rash, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain — but one person needed evaluation because of how much they’d taken.
More severe dangers of ivermectin ingestion include neurologic disorders, seizures, coma and death.
Use of ivermectin should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor for an FDA-approved use. Regardless of the usage and prescription, the FDA warns ivermectin overdose is still possible. Possible interaction with other medications is also a possibility.
I highlighted the key parts.
A 70% SURGE in Ivermectin Poison Center calls sounds like a lot doesn’t it?
NPR even reports a 245% surge! Oh my!
Sounds bad until you realize according to NPR that the 245% surge is going from 133 calls to 459 calls….NATIONWIDE!
According to the National Poison Data System (NPDS), which collects information from the nation’s 55 poison control centers, there was a 245% jump in reported exposure cases from July to August — from 133 to 459.
Yes folks, out of 333 MILLION people, there were 459 calls to poison centers.
So 0.00000137% of the population.
And those are just calls.
According to the bold part of the Channel 4 article, 85% of those people who called or had symptoms had MILD symptoms like a rash.
The horror!
According to the article, only ONE person needed a further evaluation.
But is this what you hear in the MSM?
No.
If you listed only to the MSM fear-porn, you’d think we had a crisis of Ivermectin deaths.
The truth is the polar opposite.
Anyone else REALLY tired of being lied to?
It’s why I’m here.
I will continue to shout the truth from the rooftops!
But I’m not done yet.
Did you know that Ivermectin has actually been listed even by the corrupt WHO as one of the most “essential medicines” out there?
It’s true, you can read it right here until they take it down.
But I’m not done yet!
Let’s cut right to the chase and go to a medical journal to see the true toxicity data on Ivermectin in humans.
Seems like something JOURNALISTS should do, don’t you think?
Let’s go to INCHEM.org, the WHO’s own website for “Internationally Peer Reviewed Chemical Safety Information”.
They lay it out in black and white and even a non-medical person like me can understand it.
Now let’s go down to Section 7.2 of their report which is about Toxicity in Humans:
I’m going to bold the key part:
7.2 Toxicity 7.2.1 Human data 7.2.1.1 Adults Amounts approaching the therapeutic doses in animals (100 to 200 ðg/kg bodyweight) are not hazardous to humans. Ingestions of large quantities (10 to 100 times the animal therapeutic dosage) may produce symptoms resembling those observed in animal toxicology studies at high toxic levels. An adult female accidentally self-injected a small quantity (approximately 200 ðg/kg) subcutaneously. Twelve hours later she experienced colicky pain with nausea but recovered within 12 hours (MSD, 1988). Clinical studies of oral ivermectin given in doses from 2 to 200 ðg/kg (maximum 12 mg) have shown a pattern of adverse experiences that included only one serious event (transient stupor). The remaining adverse experiences were considered not serious and were chiefly of the type expected based on the characteristics of the underlying disease and the responses seen after treatment with other microfilaricidal drugs, except for reports of "depression" (not psychiatrically tested) in four patients in open studies (MSD, 1988). 7.2.1.2 Children A 16-month-old boy weighing 15 kg ingested approximately 100 to 130 mg of ivermectin (as an injectable solution). Ten hours post-ingestion he had mydriasis in one pupil, with frequent vomiting, pallor, 35°C temperature, tachycardia, somnolence and variable blood pressure. He developed urticaria the following day, and had recovered after three days (MSD, 1988).
Let’s start with the very first line: even if you take the ANIMAL dosage, it is “not hazardous to humans”.
Case closed folks.
Seriously, why is this not front page news?
Is it because Ivermectin WORKS and actually treats COVID-19 and they can’t let that happen?
Just asking.
How soon will it be do you think before they take down the WHO website or “edit” it?
Good thing I took screenshots!
As long as we’re on the topic of things that MAY treat COVID, let’s talk America’s Frontline Doctors, shall we?
Sound good to you?
Amazing patriots doing all the front line work and taking all the slings and arrows.
Of course Big Media, Big Tech, Big Business and Big Pharma all HATE them, so I’ll just leave it there and let you decide who you want to follow.
I report, you decide!
What a novel concept!
And what I want to report right now is the recent COVID-19 Repair and Prevention Protocols posted by America’s Frontline Doctors.
Here is a graphic that has been circulating:
And now let’s go right to their website….
Here is what they’re calling their Wellness Protocol and it sure seems very normal and common sense to me, how about you?
Then we have their Treatment Options, which again look very reasonable.
Folks, I’m not going to tell you what to do or not do, you have to make up your own mind and consult with your own doctor.
But as a non-medical person, doesn’t this stuff sound like a good idea?
And here it is in a diagram:
I will reiterate here once again what they posted on their website:
THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. Every situation is unique and every person must check with his or her own physician, especially if you are taking any other medication.
Good advice. For everyone.
If you are interested in where to buy some of these items, scroll down and I have links for you to some of the best ones.
Want even more?
Then you need to hear from my friend Chris Burres who joined me last weekend on my show to talk about the power of C60.
No, he’s not saying it treats COVID or cures COVID.
But he is saying it appears to supercharge your immune system and help your body in many different ways…..anyone else interested in that?
Me too, and that’s why I had him on my show.
I had a lot of questions for him about C60 and I found the whole thing fascinating!
Yes, I (Noah) personally take C60 and I’ve been taking it for over a year now.
I first started hearing about it online about a year ago and I did my own research on it to find out what it is, where can I get it, and is it really that good….?
First, let me give you my disclaimer once again in bold font: I’m not a doctor and I’m not giving you medical advice. I’m not telling you this is going to treat or cure any condition you have. I’m just telling you what I have personally experienced.
So here’s what I found.
I found that C60 is a powerful antioxidant often described as the “perfect carbon molecule”.
It’s an antioxidant that has been measured to be 172x more powerful than Vitamin C! How about that?
Not only is it an antioxidant, but it’s an anti-viral and an anti-bacterial and an anti-inflammatory.
I’ll tell you this….ever since I saw the Deep State going after Carbon and trying to tax carbon emissions with their Al-Gore Carbon Tax, I immediately knew one thing: I bet Carbon is actually pretty good for you!
Turns out I was right.
Especially the Carbon-60 “perfect carbon molecule.”
So once I learned more about it, I then set out to find where to buy it from the most reputable company.
I found there are a lot of companies selling C60 that might actually be bad for you and toxic, so I found the one that has the highest standards and safest, most continually-tested product out there….and that was C60 Evo.
I’ve been personally taking C60 for over a year and feel amazing so in light of all the health issues plaguing our nation right now, I decided I’d have one of the founders of the company on my show to break all this down.
Chris Burres was kind enough to speak with me today (on a weekend) and I thought it was a WONDERFUL discussion!
I learned a lot myself….
He explains what C60 is, why its discovery won a Nobel prize, and the benefits many people experience when taking it.
I believe in this product so much after using it for a year I asked the company if I could actually become an affiliate and get all of you a discount….
And they agreed!

If that Tweet gets taken down, here is a screenshot of what he posted:
I’m going to give you my disclaimer once again…..
DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor and I don’t practice medicine.
And neither is Clif!
Neither of us is giving you medical advice.
Ok?
Ok.
I’m just reporting on what others have said.
But let’s be honest….I think I can probably do better than the “doctors” like Dr. Fraudci, Dr. Birxx who lie to you and serve you up a big heaping pile of propaganda!
You can probably take whatever they tell you to do and just do the opposite and you’d probably be pretty close to an ideal course of action!
So no, I’m not a doctor, but if being a doctor puts you in the same class as Dr. FRAUDci, then I take not being a doctor as a badge of honor.
I’m a reporter.
I simply report what I hear and see from others.
To paraphrase a once great network: I report, you decide!
But what I can report is that it sure looks like some very basic stuff can drastically help you recover and protect your body going forward!
Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Chaga Mushroom Tea, C60, and of course hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin may be highly effective!
If you scroll down, I have links for you.
And let’s consider the worst case scenario…..taking more vitamins is almost never a bad thing, right?
Your body needs them regardless of what virus is floating around out there.
As long as you don’t take too much of the fat-soluble vitamins, it’s almost NEVER a bad thing to give your body more vitamins.
Now let me give you a little more background on Clif and why he’s making these recommendations….
Watch this video where Clif High explains what the spike protein is actually doing to your body, why it is definitely a bio-weapon, and how each of the items listed above can help:
Here is one more where he goes into even more detail and in this one he talks about the power of C60 and why you need to get some!
Ever since you were a kid, you were told to get your vitamins!
It’s basic advice that was good then and is still good now!
You need large doses of the right kind of Vitamin C, 10-15,000 IU’s of Vitamin D to maintain certain blood levels, and then Clif recommends C60 too.
Watch the interview here from Rumble (they discuss it in the first 10 minutes) and then scroll down for links to where you can get the best of each item:
If you want to follow Clif’s advice, here are some links to the products I like to use.
Unfortunately, I can’t give you a link to NAC on Amazon because Amazon banned it.
One of the oldest and most trusted supplements in the bodybuilding industry and Amazon suddenly banned it right now.
Interesting.
So we go with the rest of the list….
First is Glutathione:
You want to get “Liposomal” Vitamin C, very important.
And in case that sells out, which tends to happen, this is another good Liposomal Vitamin C:
Now on to Vitamin D.
Here is my current favorite and the one I personally take:
And a backup Vitamin D3:
And Chaga Mushroom Tea:
And here is the Zinc Balance:
And we end with C60.
As I mentioned above, I’ve been personally taking C60 for over a year and I have not came down with COVID. Not saying it treats or prevents COVID, I’m just saying my experience.
Regardless of COVID, I love taking it and have noticed multiple benefits.
Here’s what many people have reported:
C60 is a powerful antioxidant (172x the power of Vitamin C), antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
I liked it so much I actually contacted the company and got everyone who is reading this a deal.
The company is called C60Evo.
Go to their website here and then be sure to use promo code EVNOAH and you’ll get 10% off your order!
I love this stuff and I think you will too.
Cheers to good health and a big thank you to Clif High for putting out this information!
No, I’m not promising you won’t get COVID, but I am saying that TAKING YOUR VITAMINS and powerful ANTIOXIDANTS is a good idea!
Be smart.
Be safe.
Be healthy!
