Ivermectin and The Soul of Medicine
by Justus R. Hope, MD Oct 29, 2021
Restoring the Soul of Medicine This kindly family doctor was voted the Physician of the Year, and he went on a mission to save humanity from the pandemic. He teamed up with Yale's Dr. Harvey Risch to tell the world about Hydroxychloroquine - and later about Ivermectin. He traveled to the Senate to inform the public that there was a better way. He openly criticized Dr. Fauci and his failed pandemic policies. The good doctor even wrote a book about his patient experiences. A Godly man, he remains true to humanitarian values, relationships, and people. He lives by ethics and his sacred Hippocratic oath. It was not enough for him to save his local small-town patients; he was duty-bound to share his ideas. Despite saving many lives, the State Medical Board threatened him. His license to practice was jeopardized, not because of poor care but because his actions threatened corporate profits. He went far above and beyond what was required. And as with many men of courage, this doctor's actions were rewarded, and he was vindicated. Beyond being named Physician of the Year, this man of medicine deserves greater accolades. Because he placed patient interests above his own, he became a hero. By now, you must be familiar with the man who accomplished all this. With his associate, Dr. Brian Tyson, Dr. George Fareed is that heroic doctor, a physician's physician, now a role model not just for today's doctor but also for all time. Dr. George Fareed will go down in history as one of the dominant symbols of morality and ethics in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, today the physician on whom I shine the spotlight is another hero, a soft-spoken man like Dr. Fareed who shares many of the same experiences and accomplishments - another doctor's doctor, and another man deserving the pages of history. Today I refer not just to my mentor, the distinguished Harvard graduate, former professor, and NIH researcher who participated in saving 7,000 patients from COVID-19. Instead, today I also call attention to the actions of Dr. Scott Jensen, a small-town family physician who practices in Watertown, Minnesota, a community of some 4,000 people. However, unlike Dr. Fareed, Dr. Jensen did not graduate from an Ivy League Medical School. Instead, he is a graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, where he also taught. In addition, Dr. Jensen is more than a tiny bit religious; he attended Luther Northwest Theological Seminary for a year before he found his calling in medicine. He graduated class valedictorian from his high school. Later, he was named a Bush Fellow in Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Minnesota. However, the parallels between Drs. Fareed and Jensen are uncanny and illustrate exactly what a great physician can accomplish against rising forces of evil. Both doctors won their state's Physician of the Year awards; the California Medical Association named Fareed the 2015 California Rural Physician of the Year.
Jensen was selected Minnesota's 2016 Family Physician of the Year by the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians.
Both criticized Dr. Fauci for being captured by Big Pharma and not acting in patients' best interests. So, Dr. Fareed penned his now-famous Open Letter to Dr. Fauci, published originally in The Desert Review.
Later it was republished in the book Surviving Cancer COVID-19, and Disease: The Repurposed Drug Revolution, and now we see it in Dr. Fareed's new book, Overcoming the COVID Darkness: How Two Doctors Successfully Treated 7000 Patients.
In 2015 Dr. Jensen wrote his book, Relationship Matters: The Foundation of Medical Care is Fracturing.
Pastor Joel Johnson wrote this about Dr. Jensen, "He's my doc and has cared for me, my wife Keri, and our four adult children for years. We have benefited firsthand from his extraordinary knowledge and his compassionate care that integrates best practices with personal understanding. We trust him. Scott doesn't tiptoe around the need to speak straightforward truth in love, even when the diagnosis is less than desired. His views on today's changing health care system expose the challenges facing us as a nation and will help you pause, take a deep breath, and examine your own voice of advocacy. Best of all, you will celebrate the beauty of life and honor." Compare these comments with those Pastor Moore said about Dr. Fareed, "Because of our friendship, and because of my confidence in him as a doctor, and because he worked with us on missions in Mexico, I invited Dr. Fareed to come to our church and tell about his and Dr. Tyson’s success. Our people were thrilled to hear there was a treatment available that kept people from intubation and, ultimately, death. When Fareed spoke at our church, he said if anyone gets COVID or knew someone who had tested positive, he would be willing to prescribe them the protocol of drugs used by him and Dr. Tyson. I took the doctor at his word, and sure enough, when our church family was hit hard during a spike of COVID cases in the Imperial Valley, he prescribed the cocktail for over 80 of our members and their families. Even though many were really sick before they received the cocktail, all responded well. Of the initial 80, none died or had to be intubated. At the same time, unfortunately, several of our members who hadn’t heard about the cocktail ended up being hospitalized, intubated, and five of their family members died."
Both Dr. George Fareed and Dr. Scott Jensen are brilliant, courageous men of honor. They are healers in every sense of the word, and they are both likable gentlemen. But honor is the most compelling similarity between the two men. And honor is what our nation’s public health authorities so sorely lack. Both Dr. Fareed and Dr. Jensen spoke before a Senate body in support of better patient care. Dr. Fareed testified before Senator Ron Johnson's Homeland Security Committee on November 19, 2020, while Dr. Jensen was elected to the Minnesota State Senate in 2016.
Senator Jensen served patient interests while a member of the legislature. He co-authored bills involving lowering prescription drug prices, improving opioid safety, telemedicine, and mental health.
Dr. Jensen is currently running for Governor of Minnesota, a position for which he feels he has a calling. When asked why he wants to run, he cites a passage from the Old Testament, Esther 4:14. See mark 1:20. https://youtu.be/pT2L9L_N8Bs Dr. Scott Jensen feels a solemn theological obligation to offer his best to end the pandemic and corruption that have plagued medicine. While both Dr. George Fareed and Dr. Harvey Risch testified about the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in November 2020 at the US Senate, Dr. Jensen joined Dr. Risch to do the same on The Ingraham Angle in January 2021. Unfortunately, both doctors have been wrongfully maligned in the mainstream media through censorship and character assassination. Listen to both Dr. Risch and Dr. Jensen discuss repurposed drug use for early treatment of COVID. See marks 2:50, 4:15, and 5:30.
Dr. Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology in the Department of Public Health at the Yale School of Medicine, is a key figure here as one of the most credible academics to support Hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19, and the evidence is summed up in this recent interview with Mark Levin. Dr. Risch, who cannot be accused of being a conspiracy theorist, observes there has been a “massive disinformation campaign that stretches from the government to the media.” See marks 2:20, 2:38 and 3:05.
