Republicans Are Making It Easier For Doctors To Prescribe Shady COVID Treatments
Tagmegroup.org ^ | 1/31/22

Posted on 01/31/2022 3:36:20 AM PST by cotton1706

Republicans in states across the country are pushing bills that would prohibit medical boards from disciplining doctors who promote, prescribe, and distribute unfounded COVID treatments that the Federal Drug Administration has said are ineffective and, in some cases, dangerous.

At least 11 state legislatures have introduced bills that limit medical licensing boards from taking action against professionals who prescribe hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. In North Dakota and Tennessee, it’s already the law.

Abortion care aside, state legislatures have typically let the medical profession govern itself, leaving licenses to medical boards and professional organizations. But the promotion of unapproved COVID treatments and skepticism of scientific authority, fueled in part by former president Donald Trump, have created an environment where Republican-led legislatures have made an astonishing push to allow doctors to prescribe treatments that have become popular in right-wing circles.

Liberal tyranny comes in all forms. Their loss of medical tyranny is driving them mad. It has to do with losing control of the overall pro-vax tyranny. They refuse to let doctors do doctoring and patients to have the right to try. Control is what they crave.

It’s called “medical freedom.” It let’s doctors and patients to experiment and see what works. At their own risk and reward.

Politically motivated, intentional refusal to STUDY then approve or disapprove therapies is the failure that may have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives. Millions world-wide. I hope they feel great looking into the mirror of their souls.

I am certainly not clicking on that link, but that’s okay, I have heard it all before.

I believe the regulatory agencies have outright lied, hidden data and relationships, and done this in order to make billions of dollars for companies like Pfizer and Moderna.

And I believe that individuals are culpable, particularly Fauci, Birx, Collins, and no doubt dozens of others.

The full court press is on to explain away the FOIA releases from Pfizer that showed in its study with a placebo control group, more people died in the vaccine group than the placebo group.

They explain it away by saying none of those in the vaccine died from COVID.

That would be a reasonable explanation if the vaccine were 100% safe. But it isn’t. So those other causes of death such as “cardiac arrest” are suspect.

Did I misread their article or did I misread your statement? I thought the 11 were allowing doctors to prescribe those medicines, taking the medical boards out of the picture.

“But the promotion of unapproved COVID treatments and skepticism of scientific authority”...

AYFKM?

Unapproved does not equal unproven.

And where did this idiot come up with “scientific authority”?
