Florida official wants Gov. Ron DeSantis to make the controversial and unproven COVID-19 treatment ivermectin more widely available

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.

I have been exposed more times than I can count. Never sick. Donated blood back in January and blood came back with antibodies in a sufficient amount where I was asked to donate plasma. Never so much as sneezed. However, in late 2019 I was the sickest I have ever been for 3 long weeks. Makes me wonder.

None of the above seem to be leading to deaths and very few leading to major cases. Not sure how all the cleaners are connected to covid. Just because we're in the days of covid?

The real Science for Ivermectin is contained in 2 recently acknowledged studies. One from Africa and the other from Peru proving that once again TRUMP WAS RIGHT.

Yep. I’d bet a good chunk of cash you had it in 2019

[bella1]

I can look at a November 2019 calendar at point to the exact day it started. I'm rarely sick, but this put me down for 3 weeks.

“Every mention of ivermectin starts with “unproven”, “falsely”, “conspiracy”, etc”

Don’t forget “baseless” and “unfounded.”

Two of the leftist media’s pet words injected into virtually every election fraud story (or any other valid claim that contradicts their narratives).

[Capt. Tom]

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.

Agreed.

If you are going to argue against using a product that is used on other animals; show that it is harmful for us humans to be using it by honest medical data.
The opponents of Ivermectin don't do that, they just name call.

Is "rat POISON" (Coumadin) OK to use as a blood thinner for humans?
It appears it is, based on its very widespread successful use for many years . It is still recommended by Cardiologists to this day.

So if you are going to trash proven usages of original animal medications now being used on humans, use facts not your prejudices. -Tom

“Baseless” means “truth we censor”

[EastTexasTraveler]

We are making progress. They are now only calling Ivermection “controversial and unproven”. This is a lie, of course, but they have come down from “guaranteed to kill you”.

Partisan Media Shill Yelena Dzhanova: Hospitals in Oklahoma have been so backed up with ivermectin overdoses that gunshot victims are unable to receive treatment quickly.

• Oklahoma Dr Jason McElyea Spreads Rumor People Taking Ivermectin are Flooding Local Hospitals.Turns Out to Be Complete Lie
• The great 'horse dewormer' hoax: No beds because of people sick taking Ivermectin (NOT TRUE)

Sounds exactly like my experience which began on November 28, 2019. (Thanksgiving night!) Never been so sick. When finally able to get to my doc, she diagnosed it as a severe upper respiratory infection.

At my next appt. we talked about it and her opinion was a definite yes on Covid!

As an aside, over time many rats have become resistant to Warfarin (Coumadin), so rat poisons have been reformulated as to work on “Warfarin resistant rats”, as stated on the label.

November 25, 2019. Did all my doctoring over the phone as I couldn’t bring myself to expose anyone else to whatever it was.

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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are covid-free from observing social distancing...

Forget something?

Haven’t you mentioned on multiple threads that you have gotten both shots and are very pleased with your decision to do so?

[Joe Brower]

Dezinformatsia from the lickspittle media.

Doctors here in Sarasota county prescribe Ivermectin in pill form as soon as someone is diagnosed with the ChiCom virus.
