Hospital chief not interested in ivermectin debate with Kan. senator
TOPEKA — Steve Stites, chief medical officer at the University of Kansas Health System, has a simple explanation
for refusing to debate people who profit from glorifying ivermectin at a “symposium” in Lenexa sponsored
by Sen. Mark Steffen. "That’s not what doctors do."
Steffen, a Republican and anesthesiologist from Hutchinson who is under investigation for prescribing ivermectin
to COVID-19 patients, organized the Early Covid Treatment Symposium along with the anti-vax group Kansans for
Health Freedom. The Wednesday event features three out-of-state doctors known for spreading misinformation
about COVID-19 and vaccines, and a doctor from an Overland Park wellness clinic that utilizes holistic medicine.
Tickets cost $35.
For the past two weeks, Steffen and KSHF have taunted KU Health officials for refusing to debate the merits of
ivermectin in the public setting, while accusing the nonprofit academic system of being a “big corporate hospital”
that deploys a “go home until you can’t breathe” approach to fighting a virus that has killed nearly 8,000 Kansans.
This criticism ignores the No. 1 tool utilized by medical professionals to prevent severe illness or death from
COVID-19 — free, safe and effective vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that
70.9% of Kansas adults are fully vaccinated, and 86.5% have received at least one dose.
