Dear Dr. Harmon:

The AMA has taken the startling and unprecedented position that American physicians should immediately stop prescribing, and pharmacists should stop honoring their prescriptions for ivermectin for COVID-19 patients. The AMA is thus contradicting the professional judgment of a very large number of physicians, who are writing about 88,000 prescriptions per week. It also contradicts the Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Haruo Ozaki, who recommended that all doctors in Japan immediately begin using Ivermectin to treat COVID.

AMA claims that ivermectin is dangerous and ineffective despite the safe prescription of billions of doses since 1981, and the mostly favorable results of 63 controlled studies in COVID-19.

AMA does not specify any recommended early treatments, but simply urges face masks, distancing, and vaccination.

Our members would appreciate clarification of the AMA’s stand on the following questions:

• What are the criteria for advocating that pharmacists override the judgment of fully qualified physicians who are responsible for individual patients?
• What are the criteria for forbidding off-label use of long-approved drugs, which constitute at least 20 percent of all prescriptions?
• On what basis does AMA demand use only within a clinical trial for ivermectin, but call for virtually universal vaccination outside of controlled trials, despite FDA warnings of potential cardiac damage in healthy young patients, and no information about long-term effects?

We believe that these questions get to the heart of issues of physician and patient autonomy, as well as scientific principles such as the need for a control group in experiments.

We look forward to your response.

Sincerely yours,

Jane M. Orient, M.D., Executive Director

Ping for your interest

[max americana]

remember: the AMA backed Obamatard when he rolled Obamacare and they were the background at the WH strutting these idiot “doctors” like Mengele at Auschwitz.

[TheWriterTX]

Doctors are fighting back.

[NoLibZone]

How many people have died from taking Ivermectin for Covid?
Anyone.
Anyone at all.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Evidently, the purpose of the US feral government is to grant monopolies to the highest bidder.

[EasySt]

What are the criteria?

Apparently, the simple likelihood of population reduction and the
rapid progress towards a medical surveillance state.

[NoLibZone]

“What are the criteria for forbidding off-label use of long-approved drugs, which constitute at least 20 percent of all prescriptions?“

[Jane Long]

AMA does not specify any recommended early treatments, but simply urges face masks, distancing, and vaccination.

What an obviously BIASED and proven UNSAFE position. These hacks should be locked up.

[JerseyDvl]

Why is the government demanding it be given to Afghan refugees but not Americans?
Lying murderers.

[Navy Patriot]

How many people have died from taking Ivermectin for Covid?

How many people have died from taking Ivermectin for any purpose?

Anyone.

Anyone at all.

[zzeeman]

What an obviously BIASED and proven UNSAFE position. These hacks should be locked up.

Yes, it is criminal. Crimes against humanity.

Forget the AMA. Most physicians in private practice won’t and don’t belong. The majority of member physicians are government, academic and corporate employees who’s dues are paid by their employers. The Left found it very easy to take control of the organization. The AMA does not represent the best interests of practicing physicians or their patients.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Right to the point!

On what basis does AMA demand use only within a clinical trial for ivermectin, but call for virtually universal vaccination outside of controlled trials, despite FDA warnings of potential cardiac damage in healthy young patients, and no information about long-term effects?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yeah, but gunshot victims can’t get treated because the hospitals are all full of Ivermectin overdoses! [yes, /s]

[Thommas]

The issue is not ivermectin. The issue is the revolution.

[Spok]

Big pharma owns the AMA. They’re terrified doctors will follow the science and ivermectin will be approved for treatment of the Wuhan virus.

[Gene Eric]

The AMA is a prime example of why...

The medical community is a cult

[precisionshootist]

These people are not doctors they are political stooges and they should not be allowed to practice medicine or give medical opinions.

5,000,000, but they were all given HCQ afterwards and are doing fine now
