A Florida county commissioner wrote a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis pleading that the livestock deworming drug ivermectin become more widely available for people who are struggling with COVID-19.
In the letter, Commissioner Neil Combee called ivermectin a "wonder drug," according to NBC affiliate WFLA.
"We are hearing from many of our citizens that larger hospital chains and some pharmacies are refusing to prescribe safe and effective therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin," Combee's letter said. "When a citizen is facing a potentially life-threatening case of COVID-19, he or she should receive the 'right to try' potentially life-saving therapeutics."
Commissioners in Polk County, Florida, are expected to vote on whether to send the letter to the governor on Tuesday, WFLA reported.

Despite these warnings, several high-profile figures have publicly touted the drug as a cure for the coronavirus. Sens. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul, for example, have baselessly promoted the drug as a COVID-19 cure. And most recently, Joe Rogan said he took ivermectin after testing positive for COVID-19.
Hospitals in Oklahoma have been so backed up with ivermectin overdoses that gunshot victims are unable to receive treatment quickly.
Ivermectin can be used by humans but only through a prescription ordered by a doctor, usually to get rid of parasitic worms, according to the FDA. Sometimes, ivermectin can be used to treat lice and skin conditions like rosacea. But no health agency recommends that people infected with the coronavirus take ivermectin.

Ivermectin is not “baselessly” recommended:
Database of all ivermectin COVID-19 studies. 113 studies, 73 peer reviewed, 63 with results comparing treatment and control groups.
Its efficacy across all studies is here:
Since the vaccines are experimental, why not test and utilize these proven treatments ? My opinion is the doctors, hospitals and pharmacies will lose money if the treatments kill covid. Can’t have that happen. Fear porn must prevail
On a different planet, there's a continent called "Africa".
On this other planet, NGOs give away Ivermectin for free, without a prescription, to control "River Blindness".
Yelena Dzhanova is an extreme liberal who likly hates DeSantis and all Republicans... She’s trying to ‘stir the pot’...

A story which has been proven 100% false, yet it is quoted in this Yahoo piece of crap.
Our Masters allow us to buy Lotto tickets and Jack Daniels - but not this drug that NGOS give away for FREE in Africa.

Not to mention cannabis, and in some of the more ‘progressive’ states like Oregon, they want to legalize heroin, methamphetamine and LSD.
If half the states can make a drug like Marijuana legal despite its continued federal status, there must be a way for individual states to make human-sized doses of Ivermectin as available OTC as marijuana is in Colorado, California and here in Arizona.
I never used ivermectin, but am covid free anyway from just observing social distancing.
I do not know much about how effective ivermectin is after seriously ill with covid and can’t breath. I thought it is a prophylactic so use it to avoid covid. But ivermectin will surely get rid of worms in your gut.
Lottery tickets and alcohol are heavily taxed. Part of the picture ? Perhaps
You can tell it’s fake news instantly when they call it a horse drug or deworming drug. The scientists who invented Ivermectin *for human use* received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
I am not a medical professional. The current medical professionals are failing US. Of that point am certain
Democrats are so desperate with their globalist brethren to keep the ChiCom Virus alive.
Ivermectin is being used globally and with great success around the world but they are trying to depict it as a fraud here in the US.
You have to ask why?
Facebook is banning anyone from publishing peer-reviewed studies in the US of Ivermectin:

“the livestock deworming drug ivermectin”
After getting away with the 2020 election coup they are quite blatant with the propaganda. And why not?
“Since the vaccines are experimental, why not test and utilize these proven treatments?”
Because, ivermectin is a cheap, generic medicine that can be made by anyone. There’s almost no profit to be made.
Post 15- Thanks for the link
Profit nowadays is all that matters. Well profit and Fear Porn
Every mention of ivermectin starts with “unproven”, “falsely”, “conspiracy”, etc. They can’t even allow the notion that it MIGHT work. Funny that India was all in the news with overwhelming covid cases. Then they started using ivermectin and zinc and, just like magic, covid disappeared. At the same time the US media quit talking about India. Wake up, people!!!
