A Florida doctor was recently defrocked over his affinity for ivermectin, proving the biomedical state’s tentacles are entrenched even in the reddest of states.
Via The Floridian:
The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) has stripped the certification of Florida Doctor John Littell. Littell, a U.S. Army veteran and Family Physician made headlines for using Ivermectin to treat over 3000 Covid-19 patients.
I got disciplined for giving Ivermectin which got a young mom out of the hospital in three days when she would have died,” said Dr Littell speaking outside a meeting of the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Board.
First of all, let’s get the ivermectin nonsense out of the way. Unlike the COVID-19 mRNA shots, ivermectin is a fully safe and effective drug, to borrow a phrase from the Public Health™. 3.7 billion doses of ivermectin have been administered over the last thirty years, making it one of the most widely used drugs in world history. It is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines, meaning every doctor should have it on hand at all times because it’s so damn useful.
Among other applications, ivermectin has noted antiviral properties. COVID-19 is a virus. Numerous studies from respected institutions have demonstrated a clinical benefit from the use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients, such as this study from the American College of Chest Physicians:
Two hundred eighty patients, 173 treated with ivermectin and 107 without ivermectin, were reviewed… Mortality was significantly lower in the ivermectin group (13.3% vs 24.5%; OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.22-0.99; P < .05), an 11.2% (95% CI, 0.38%-22.1%) absolute risk reduction, with a number needed to treat of 8.9 (95% CI, 4.5-263).

Ivermectin is available Over The Counter in much of the world. It should be made OTC in the US.
I sad whether it is just or unjust is a different t conversation.
Typo correction
I said whether it is just or unjust is a different discussion. And typical of you, you cherry pick and ask me why it was just. Are you unable to read what was said and respond without your agenda?
I suppose not.
Jeff Childers, of Coffeeandcovid.com has a program where readers can support certain causes by sending donations that end in $.02. That way they can track them.
Two days ago, this doctor had raised $950 for his defense fund. In two days, he was almost $200,000.02.
Americans are sick of the medical establishment using their power to destroy good people who use their brains instead of the narrative.
Clinging like grim death to the perceived high ground, are we?
The fact you can’t read and drive an agenda is hardly my problem.
Amazing story and lecture at the Nobel site.
Amazing drug.
It didn’t seem to help me, either time, but I still have a favorable opinion based on others’ success. Who knows.. although the symptoms didn’t abate, I might have gotten sicker otherwise...
On the contrary. One Guy drives a 2017 Honda Agenda XLE. 🤨
What on earth are you talking about. With such infernal arrogance.
Good car choice
What I am referring to is that I said the question of just or unjust is a different conversation. Personally I think it is unjust but your original comment to me and others is why do I think it was just. You made an assumption. That’s all I am pointing out
“All the doctors who prescribed Ivermectin for members of Congress, the Executive Branch and their families should also be decertified.”
I could not disagree more, the state of FL needs to move to set aside this board’s authority over the autonomy of medical professionals who hold the requisite academic and historic experience to render these types of medical treatments and opinions, free from the harassment of politicized medical review organizations.
These boards wish to to disagree with the medical professional publicly, fine. Though their power and reach should end right there.
I heard people say when we’re sick we consume more vitamin c. I think it would help to consume foods with vitamin c such as oranges. I think hospital food is low in vitamin c and they typically don’t give vitamin c supplements.
Yes. Unjust.

Yes. Drive 5 minutes to a pharmacy, get it in 30 seconds for a few dollars. It’s embarrassing that ivermectin availability created conflicts in the US. It seems communist.
Well we agree on something. Although probably for different reasons.
Thank God there are some doctors brave enough to stand up and do what’s right and save lives. Board certification is meaningless. In Florida, I don’t think they can take away his license.
You are insufferable.
Seriously. You are just looking for a fight. I was genuine and sincere. Please take your nasty ass attitude and stuff it until such a time that you can have a real conversation.
Otherwise enjoy the group think of your masters.
Now you are projecting.
Are you aware of your abusive streak?
You are insufferable for an apparent desire to have the last word, but with a twist of the knife. Otherwise, why the “different reasons” remark on your part?
