A Manhattan judge says she won’t force a hospital to give an ailing
post-COVID-19 patient the controversial drug ivermectin after the man’s wife
sued for the non-FDA-approved treatment, according to a new ruling.

Erika Quintero-Sherry brought a civil case against Mount Sinai Hospital on Jan.
26 seeking an emergency order to have the drug given to husband Benjamin
Chernyavsky — who’s been “on death’s doorstep” after contracting the virus last
month.

Following two days of hearings in the case last week, including testimony from
two Mount Sinai doctors, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Lynn Kotler said she
wouldn’t grant the emergency request to force the hospital’s staff to administer
the risky drug based on Quintero-Sherry’s “paltry” evidence and going against
Chernyavsky’s treating doctor’s recommendations, as well as the recommendations
from the medical community at large.

Benjamin Chernyavsky contracted the virus on Jan. 9, 2022, and was eventually
placed on a ventilator.Court documents Ivermectin is not approved for the
prevention or treatment of COVID-19, according to the FDA.

“Plaintiff would have this court order defendants to administer an unapproved
treatment to her husband against defendants’ medical opinion rendered in the
independent exercise of their professional judgment,” Kotler’s Tuesday decision
reads. “Indeed, the record reveals that if prescribed ivermectin, Mr.
Chernyavsky’s condition may very well worsen.”

26, 2022 to get her husband ivermectin.Court documents

“The prevailing view in the medical community … is that ivermectin should not be
prescribed,” Kotler said, noting that that is the opinion of the FDA, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and many other medical associations.

“Plaintiff’s paltry showing is insufficient to overcome the mountain of evidence
showing that ivermectin is not presently safe or effective in the treatment of
COVID-19,” Kotler wrote.

Kotler also noted testimony from a Mount Sinai doctor that Chernyavsky was
likely no longer infected with COVID-19, but rather “now must recover from the
effects the disease has had on his body and organs.”

While the judge did not grant the emergency motion, the rest of the case must
still play out in court.

“Mount Sinai is committed to providing the highest quality care to all of our
patients and uses evidence-based data in our clinical decision-making,” a
hospital spokesperson said in a statement. “We are pleased with the judge’s
decision to sustain the decisions of our clinicians to refrain from using
ivermectin for treatment of COVID -19.”

“Ivermectin has not been shown to be safe nor effective for the treatment or
prevention of COVID-19, and the FDA has not authorized or approved this
treatment for this use,” the statement continued.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Lynn Kotler rejected the emergency request to
force the hospital’s staff to administer ivermectin.Touro Law Center

Quintero-Sherry’s lawyers did not immediately return a request for comment.

The 60-year-old father of five contracted the virus on Jan. 9 and was eventually
put into a medically induced coma and also placed on a ventilator.
Quintero-Sherry argued that her husband had a less than 20 percent chance of
survival.

The wife also said that since the hospital had exhausted all the COVID-19
protocols for patients, rather than continuing the alleged “wait-and-see”
approach, there was nothing to lose by treating her husband with ivermectin.

The drug — a horse and cow de-wormer — raised headlines during the pandemic
after COVID patients were reportedly using it to treat the bug.

It’s approved for human use to treat parasitic infections, head lice and some
skin conditions, according to the FDA.

“The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or
treating COVID-19 in humans or animals,” the agency says on its website.
