Baby ‘turned blue’ after bizarre Covid advice from underground Telegram group, news.com.au.
Reporters from Vice had infiltrated a QAnon Telegram group which shared tips on treating Covid (not that they believe in Covid) with Ivermectin and the like. A young father of a 6 month old asked for advice given his wife had tested positive for Covid a week before and the baby began suffereing "flu-like symptoms". He wondered whether Ivermectin was suitable for babies.
Oh boy ...
Reporters from Vice had infiltrated a QAnon Telegram group which shared tips on treating Covid (not that they believe in Covid) with Ivermectin and the like. A young father of a 6 month old asked for advice given his wife had tested positive for Covid a week before and the baby began suffereing "flu-like symptoms". He wondered whether Ivermectin was suitable for babies.
Quote:“Baby aspirin to thin the blood a little and drop any fever and I would put some ivermectin on the bottoms of her feet,” one group member responded — while others said he should wait to take advice from “experts” in ivermectin usage on the group.
One user called Katie, who claimed to be an expert, piped up.
“From what I understand, yes it is safe to give to an infant, however please stop calling it Covid, it’s not Covid, it’s a simple cold. That’s how we got in this mess to begin with,” Katie wrote.
Jason took the advice and gave his baby a dose of ivermectin.
“We gave her two doses of ivermectin at 50mg each. That’s what was recommended by someone on here. She got really sick after that. Related? I don’t know,” Jason claimed in an update.
Within minutes, Jason reported that his little girl’s condition was deteriorating.
“Baby threw up. Is that common side effect? She’s also turning a tad blue,” Jason said.
Shockingly, somebody said this had happened to their child as well and they took him to hospital — something Jason wasn’t keen to do.
Jason responded: “We don’t trust hospitals. I told my son to give her more ivermectin.”
Group members pleaded with Jason to go to the hospital.
“That baby needs to go to the ER. Do not hesitate,” one group member called Barbara, who said she was a respiratory therapist, wrote. “I’ve seen too many go south due to O2 levels being low. The blue is hypoxia and that’s lack of oxygen at the tissue level. Please!”
Finally, Jason told the group, the child was taken to hospital.
“[My] son is taking baby to urgent care. Against my wishes but I’m praying for her. It’s in God’s hands now,” Jason wrote before later adding an update that Ruby was “doing better.”
“God knew what to do even though I thought hospital was certain death,” Jason wrote on Wednesday night. “Thanks for everyone’s advice.”
Oh boy ...
