When state senators in South Carolina held two hearings in September about COVID treatments, they got an earful on the benefits of ivermectin — which many of the lawmakers lauded along the way, sharing experiences of their own loved ones.
The demands for access to the drug were loud and insistent, despite the fact that federal regulators had just issued a strong warning against using the drug to treat COVID-19.
One member of the public, Pressley Stutts III, reminded the panel that his father, a prominent GOP leader in the state, had died from COVID just a month before. He believed ivermectin could have helped. But doctors at the hospital wouldn't even discuss it, he said.
"I went every bit as far as I could without getting myself thrown in jail trying to save my father's life," he told the panel, as lawmakers offered their condolences.
"What is going on here?" he asked, with the passion in his voice growing. "My dad's dead!"
The pleas to public officials have been building. And now they're beginning to act, largely to satisfy their conservative constituents.
Ivermectin is a generic drug that has been used for decades to treat river blindness, scabies and even head lice. Veterinarians also use it, in different formulations and dosages, to treat animals for parasites like worms.
After the pandemic began, scientists did launch some clinical trials to see if ivermectin could help as a treatment for COVID. Some of those are still ongoing. But most doctors won't currently prescribe it as a COVID treatment, citing the poor quality of the studies to date, and two notorious "preprint" studies that were later taken off the Internet because of inaccurate and flawed data.

Yeah i know, that is why I put out the termite statement lol. Someone said that awhile back, I thought it was funny. They were like “seriously yell, you ain’t termites, just stop taking aspirin” 😆
I like that one.

One thing that burns me up, in a lot of places, you cannot even get the results back for your covid test for several days. This wastes valuable time.
We aren’t Guinea pigs, either.

And, Dr. Syed Haider, a member of the FLCCC group ( his name is on their doctor list who will prescribe Ivermectin), posted this list of pharmacies that will fill and ship Ivermectin to each of the 40 states he is licensed in:
NOTE: Ivermectin is quite pricey in the USA ( Over a hundred dollars for a 3 month prophylactic supply ), but you can use the GoodRX app to get discount coupons that will significantly lower the price somewhat.
