A Houston hospital terminated a doctor’s employment contract for its “experimental” approach to treating COVID-19. Dr. Mary Bowden, in violation of all norms, began to actively prescribe ivermectin to patients with coronavirus, a toxic antihelminthic drug used in veterinary medicine. Bowden also intended to accept only patients without coronavirus vaccinations. In the letter about her dismissal, the reasons for the termination of the contract by the management of the medical institution indicated “the spread of dangerous misinformation and personal opinion about vaccination, which is harmful to society.”
