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.

FWIW, MY wife has covid. She tested positive Thursday. I just took a home test, which was negative, and am waiting for the confirmation from the drugstore test. I have been doing Quercitin, zinc, D,C for over a year, and I have taken several prophylactic doses of IIvermectin, having cleared out the local Tractor Supply. My wife just started the vitamins and refuses the Ivrmectin. Oddly enough, I have a chest cough from post nasal drip, which prompted me to use the home test kit.
Having been exposed three known times in the past year to covid but having had no illness other than a mild cold tells am possibly immune. No telling how many times have actually been exposed to covid yet am still on spaceship Earth. Maybe God loves me
If the Communist Democrats admit now that therapeutics are often effective, they might be asked why they allowed so many to die until now.
its safe. why not give people facing a life threatening illness the right to try?
cuz it would kill the vacinne, thats why.
One of the favorite adjectives to the propagandist is “unproven”. That one word pollutes a story and sh*t shapes agenda.
Nothing like a headline to make a liberal narrative statement.
Holy Crap - this article may go down as the WORST CASE of gaslighting that I’ve ever seen. I’ll need to parse it.
Add “Yelena Dzhanova” to the list of dumshits publishing govt scripts describing ivermectin as an animal deworming medicine.

One could legally buy, all in one day:
A 1/2 gallon of Gin

Anything with Red Slime from Taco Bell
BUT . . . .
Can’t get your script for Hydroxy (friend with RA has Cartoon Hands right now they are so swollen)
Can’t buy the HUMAN version of the stuff on the shelf in Tractor Supply.
While both are approved and recommended by WHO, UN and now given to Taliban Fighters imported to the US at the airport on arrival, have been given to millions of folks for decades, and both proven much safer than the Kill Shot.
Konstantin Kisin gets it exactly right.
We don’t believe you anymore.
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.
[[The drug is also used by humans and even this article is forced to admit it. More on this later, but they figure people usually don’t read articles to the very end.]]
In the letter, Commissioner Neil Combee called ivermectin a “wonder drug,” according to NBC affiliate WFLA.
[[Neil Combee is NOT the first person to call Ivermectin a “wonder drug”, as it won the NOBEL PRIZE for its use in treating and very nearly eliminating River Blindness, in HUMANS]]
“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.”
[[Well, they probably got this quote right, and what Combee says is true, of course.]]
“Ivermectin is a drug typically used to treat parasitic infections in livestock like horses.”
[[Note how the slip-in the word “typically” now, as they’re heading towards the final paragraph. The use of “typically” contradicts the first sentence where no qualifier was used in the description of Ivermectin as a ‘livestock drug’. Interesting that this sentence even has to exist in the article, when the word “typically” could have easily been added to the first paragraph. Get the picture now?]]
Health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have repeatedly warned that the drug can cause adverse side effects in humans, like dizziness and nausea. In some cases, it can lead to overdose and death, as well as hallucinations and seizures.
[[Ok, the drug has side effects, what drugs do not? By the standard here, NO DRUG, not even aspirin, should be used, ever. But also note what’s missing here - the side effects only occur in users who badly overdose on the drug. They skip that part.]]
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.
[[They’re not pulling this stuff out of thin air, there are DOZENS of studies and real-time use of Ivermectin as the primary early treatment for close to 2 Billion people. Note now NONE OF THAT is discussed here - it’s like none of that exists.]]
Hospitals in Oklahoma have been so backed up with ivermectin overdoses that gunshot victims are unable to receive treatment quickly.
[[This story was FULLY DEBUNKED by the hospital being called out yesterday, probably after this article went to press, but the article can STILL be updated to remove this Fake News. Even the referenced article, now, says it was Fake News. But a bigger question is why didn’t they make a quick phone call to the hospital to verify...no need, I guess, since there’s no penalty for being wrong against conservatives, if you’re a reporter.]]
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.
[[This final paragraph is REQUIRED because 200,000 Americans are taking Ivermectin as we speak and NOT for Covid. Without this final admission, those people would be suing their doctors over the prescribing of a horse medicine for them.]]
I hope your wife does OK, she has only a few days to stop viral replication from developing into serious illness. That is what ivermectin does and why it is so effective, Sadly journalistic malpractice injures people by making them fear trying ivermectin. She could get a human formulation like Stromectol, or HCQ, by getting a telemed with a Frontline Dr

You need to watch that your chest cold is not bacterial pneumonia which seems to be becoming a co-morbidity with covid delta, maybe because of its large viral load. Thats why ivermectin treatment handed out or sold OTC in other countries also includes zinc and doxycycline.
If she is afraid of ivermectin, perhaps she will consider trying the herb green chiretta/ Andrographis. You can order on Amazon, Govt of Thailand has embraced this as treatment after a 99% cure rate among 12,000 mildly symptomatic prisoners.

Time is of the essence here. You have 3-5 days to stop the virus. Delta is such a heavy load the side effects and damage snowball quickly, even in young people.
I haven’t followed this Ivermectin controversy.
What is thought to be the precise mechanism of functionality? I see comments that it stops viral replication, but what is the mechanism for this happening? The virus coating of rough exterior can abrade its way into a lung cell because of the rubbing of normal breathing and the RNA strand replaces the cell’s — what is the mechanism for preventing this replacement. That’s the mechanism of replication. What is the mechanism for prevention of replication?
You are not a horse. You are not a cow.
Seriously, y'all. Stop it.

You are not Doctors. You are not Scientists.
You are bureaucrats and lying propagandists.
and whores for 'Big Pharma'.
Seriously y'all. Stop it.
Half of their advertising comes from Big Pharma, and it shows clear as day here.
Good points.
Funny how the lefties are suddenly on the war path against Ivermectin. It’s like a memo went out.
DrBeen on youtube has done almost 18 months of medical lectures on various covid topics. This is just one of his presentations on the IVM mechanism of action vs sars cov-2
“Having been exposed three known times in the past year to covid but having had no illness other than a mild cold tells am possibly immune. No telling how many times have actually been exposed to covid yet am still on spaceship Earth. Maybe God loves me“
God loves all of us, that is why he bestowed us with our wonderful immune system. One of the biggest parts of our immune system is the innate immune system, which quite probably is the part of the system which stopped covid in your case, as well as many others cases.
We all seem to forget about the innate immune system. One which even the best vaccines bypass.
