Kristen Erickson, a lawyer to Sun Ng, a Hong-Kong resident who rose to notoriety late last month after a judge ruled the hospital must administer ivermectin to him, after he was initially denied treatment for not being vaccinated against COVID-19. Erickson discuses her recent win for Sun Ng, saying that after 1-day of ivermectin treatment, improvement was almost immediate, saying Ng was able to do a breathing test he was previously unable to do for 22-days. Erickson explains that the US is one of the only countries that has done no studies into the use of ivermectin in treating COVID-19. Reasoning that because ‘Ivermectin so cheap’, doctors and pharmaceuticals companies can’t make any money off of it.
