Ironically, for all their fear mongering about ivermectin, the CDC recommends giving ivermectin to refugees for parasites:

β€œAll Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Latin American, and Caribbean refugees should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days before departure to the United States.

All African refugees who did not originate from or reside in countries where Loa loa infection is endemic (Box 1) should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days
AND
Praziquantel, 40 mg/kg, which may be divided in two doses before refugees depart for the United States.”

I don’t know if this was mentioned last week (article says the story came out last week) but found this story from yesterday when I searched for Ivermectin pills. I didn’t go digging for a better source, either.

Inmates Weren’t Told They Were Given An Anti-Parasite Drug Instead Of COVID-19 Meds

Several inmates at a northwest Arkansas jail said they weren’t told a medication they were given to treat COVID-19 was actually an anti-parasite drug that federal health officials have warned should not be used to treat the coronavirus.

Three inmates at the Washington County jail told The Associated Press they didn’t know they were being given ivermectin until its use at the facility was revealed last week. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, which on Wednesday repeated its call for the practice to end, said it’s also heard similar complaints from inmates.

The inmates’ comments contradict assertions by the sheriff and the jail’s physician that the use of the drug was voluntary. The drug’s use at the jail has prompted an investigation by the state Medical Board.

“They were pretty much testing us in here is all they were doing, seeing if it would work,” said William Evans, an inmate who said he was given the drug for two weeks after he tested positive for COVID-19.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved ivermectin for use by people and animals for some parasitic worms and for head lice and skin conditions. The FDA has not approved its use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans.

The drug’s manufacturer, Merck, said in February that it had found no evidence that ivermectin is an effective treatment for patients with COVID-19.

The American Medical Association, the American Pharmacists Association and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists on Wednesday called for an immediate end to prescribing and using the drug to treat the coronavirus outside clinical trials.

Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder, a spokesperson for his office and jail physician Dr. Rob Karas did not respond to calls or emails on Wednesday. Karas last week released a lengthy statement defending the use of ivermectin, saying he had been prescribing the drug to inmates and patients at his clinics since late last year.

Edrick Floreal-Wooten, an inmate, said he was given ivermectin at the jail after he tested positive on Aug. 21.

“I asked what are they, and they’d just tell me vitamins,” Floreal-Wooten said. “With me being sick and all of us being sick, we thought that they were there to help us. I never thought they would do something shady.”

OMGosh, (hyperventilating) are they TRYING to kill these poor refugees.

Yes, the FDA, CDC, LSM and Fraudci are ALL complicit in trying to suppress knowledge of the drugs that have worked for years but are CHEAP.

It’s all about the MONEY and for FDA to grant an EUA there can’t be any effective available alternative.

Regarding the Ivermectin....

So much fuss (again!) over a drug that is highly successful at treating FRAUDci’s planDEMic! Can’t have these proven and inexpensive drugs being used, when his invested in shots are here!

One way his shots received EUA approval was because .... get this ... there were no known treatments, at the time.

Hmmmm...why weren’t they known? πŸ€”

(FRAUDci has admittedly known they work, since 2005.)

And....infuriating how refugees are being given these known, proven preventatives and treatments, but these drugs, but TPTB are doing their level best to withhold them from American citizens. 😑

Sen Paul needs to ask this of FRAUDci.
