"Do you want us to try and fight like we're at the beaches of Normandy? Or do you want me to tell what a lot of people do and say -- oh, go home and ride it out and go to the ER when your lips turn blue," Karas said. Karas said that he started to use ivermectin in the jail population starting in November on "high-risk patients over 40." The doctor defended his practice ,saying no deaths have been reported due to Covid-19 out of the 531 cases in the jail.
CNN called the Washington County Sheriff's Office to confirm the number of Covid-19 patients treated at the jail and was referred back to Karas, since he is contracted to provide medical services. Calls to the doctor's office have not been returned.
The Arkansas Medical Board has opened an investigation into the matter, Meg Mirivel, a spokesperson for the Arkansas Department of Health, told CNN. Due to the ongoing investigation the department was not able to comment further.
The sheriff's department declined to comment further or provide additional information about inmate care. The Sheriff's office defended the practices to the local paper, saying all treatment is "voluntary."
"They are able to refuse any medication they're offered. Even with the vaccine, it's all voluntary," Chief Deputy Jay Cantrell told the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
"I believe it's the county and the sheriff's constitutional duty to provide the detainees adequate and appropriate medical care." Madison told CNN.
"No one -- including incarcerated individuals -- should be subject to medical experimentation," Holly Dickson, executive director of the ACLU of Arkansas, said in a statement, adding that the sheriff "has a responsibility to provide food, shelter and safe, appropriate care to incarcerated people."
In a CDC health advisory issued Thursday, the agency said the use of ivermectin can result in "gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Overdoses are associated with hypotension and neurologic effects such as decreased consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, seizures, coma, and death."
Looks like a cheap hit job.
Just because Ivermectin works is no reason to take money out of Phziers hands or board members like Fauci.
Medicine should be about what works, not what the politicians in Washington tell everyone.
We are living 1984.
Well, if no one should be subject to experimental treatments, then they should not offer the vaccine. Just saying.
DID ANY OF THEM GET COVID? OR RECOVER WHEN GIVEN IT?
Or does that not matter?
Here is a quote from the doctor from another article on this a few days ago. “I am proud of our track record in both of my clinics and at the jail in particular, where not one single patient of the five hundred plus who have followed our plan of care has been hospitalized, intubated or died.”
“The doctor also recorded the station’s interview with his own camera and posted it online.”
Any conservative who DOES NOT do the above deserves the result.
FDA “warnings “ and CDC “guidelines” are NOT laws.
I’m surprised to see that FayetteNam still has some rebellious redneck in it.
The University politically correct effete elite pretty much run the show there.
Bullshit. It's widely used on humans in Africa for River Blindness. It has also been shown to be very effective in treating Covid-19. Over 30 studies show its effectiveness:

Why is the MSM and the gov't hiding these results?
Boy the memo sure seems to have gone out to the “mainstream media” to always refer to ivermectin as an “anti-parasitic” drug and to ignore every shred of evidence that it actually has helped people re COVID. “Anti-parasitic”, “insurrection”, “debunked”, etc., etc. You can always tell when the marching orders have gone out to preserve the Party line about an issue.
We can’t have that, it won’t make big pharma billions.
Every one of us have demodex, those little microscopic mites that eat our dead skin cells. Occasionally they multiply to an out of balance population that we notice and have to be knocked back down to normal. This is done with permethrin cream and Ivermectin. Can the doctors prescribe Ivermectin for our mites?
Remember the CDC and the FDA have known about Ivermectin and HCQ for quite some time now, what if anything prevents an AG or DA from INDICTING these Individuals before a Grand Jury for the Deaths of tens of thousands of American Citizens for thier Deliberate False Statements about KNOWN Drugs that Cure the COVID?? Shouldn’t they get thier chance to once and for all Set the Record Straight before a Jury7 while on trial for thier very lives??

Cnn is such a pos org. They characterize ivermectin as for use only in horses mostly.
It is used by prescription for certain parasites in humans and has even been tested orally for hard to treat head lice. It is avaible as a lotion for head lice also. I am not sure about its clinical efficacy in covid 19...but there are definitely m.d.s and some reviews who say it works ( or helps). More non prejudical studies are warranted. Probably in countries where there is no vested interest in vaccines.
In the meantime....get rid of cnn anyway you can. They are ignorant ,greedy , lying,incompetent news presenters. Stop your media service completely if they wont get rid of cnn. Time for more than complaining.
I see the problem. He’s prescribed ivermectin and no one died.
It’s an odd coincidence, but the 6 people I know who have covid right now are all vaccinated. One is in ICU about to go on a vent and another died a few days ago. The others are fine. None were offered any treatment except, come back if you can’t breathe.
I cannot imagine why this doc would be investigated. A strong Fauci influence must be afoot.
“Justice of the Peace Eva Madison..”
I do believe I have spotted the real problem and it’s not the doctor or the sheriff.
Does anyone have a contact within a Christian legal organization like Rutherford Institute or ACLJ to ask them to help?
Hope he comes across this although his own results should speak for themselves.

Shows use of Ivermectin across Africa cross correlated with deaths (almost no deaths in countries where Ivermectin is commonly used and available)
Japan medical association now advising use of Ivermectin for Covid because of studies done on its use in Africa.
Oh yeah but you’ll DIE if you use HORSEPASTE, so says bigfatpharma mouthpieces in the media.
