A House panel is demanding documents from a pair of online businesses as part of an inquiry into whether they pushed what it calls ineffective and dangerous coronavirus treatments, according to letters made public Friday.
According to a letter signed by Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, the telemedicine provider SpeakWithAnMD.com has collected millions of dollars in fees... through referrals from America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), a separate business that is also a subject of the congressional investigation.
Clyburn said he is concerned that the two companies are endangering lives while profiting from a public health crisis....
...According to a report published in August by Time magazine, hundreds of AFLD customers have accused the company of promising prescriptions of ivermectin that were never delivered. Others described being charged exorbitant prices for the cheap medication or watching family members’ conditions worsen while waiting ...

And here's the first case being pursued against a Dr. Nepute
Wonder if Jimmy got his Vitamin I?
Demonizing alternatives to the poisons labeled COVID vaccines is wrong.
Jimmy got him The Saline, and a medicine cabinet full of Vitamin I.
In addition, the complaint alleges that the defendants falsely claimed that their products provide equal or better protection against COVID-19 than currently available COVID-19 vaccines.
How does the Foetid Turd Counters [FTC] KNOW that it's a false claim?
Because they said so?
Scientifically speaking, I don't see where either side of that argument can claim ascendance.
If the supply of ivermectin is being restricted that would mean the cost would go up, am I wrong? Guess who is restricting the importation and distribution. The U.S. government. This also means it will take longer to get the medication and provide it for patients.
It's like the @ssholes who slashed your tires mocking you for not being able to drive your car.
that, Vit D is ‘better,’ claim is what got him in hot water.
If the below is accurate, Vit D deficiency is not an ethnic white problem, comprising only 6% of the ‘severely deficient’ group, and, of those ‘deficient’, in the group with a bmi over 30. Which brings in to play the whole lifestyle, morbidities and nutritional history effect on succeptibility to infection of any kind. And making Vit D by itself not much more than a bit player in their disease processes, because “The median vitamin D levels of the COVID-19 seropositive and seronegative groups were not significantly different”
“54.9% of the participants were positive for anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein antibodies. The median vitamin D levels of the COVID-19 seropositive and seronegative groups were not significantly different... In the severely deficient category, the proportion of individuals who are ≥ 50 years of age are less than those in the < 50 years of age. Individuals who are < 50 years of age are more likely to be in the vitamin D deficient category than in the sufficient category.
“A significantly more significant proportion of individuals in the BAME group (40%) constituted the severely deficient vitamin D category when compared to the white ethnic group (6.6%). The individuals in the BAME subgroup are more likely to belong to the severe vitamin D deficient category than the deficient category.”

Limitations of the study
The study had numerous limitations. First, multiple ethnicities were aggregated into the single BAME group, so further subcategorization of ethnicities was not investigated.
There may be a possibility of seasonal variation in vitamin D levels though participants were all recruited in May to reduce the effect of seasonal variation. In addition, the disease severity was not considered, which may affect the interpretation of results.
My belief is that most people are unaware of their vitamin D levels, and that there are factors affecting their actual vitamin D absorption.
And no, supplements are not a magic bullet for topping off one's D levels.
🤔
That is exactly it.
“Effectiveness”
of a medicine for the treatment of a politically protected disease is a political definition.
Had a physical this year.
Didn’t even bother last year.
Went in for my bloodwork, and for the first time ever there was a Vitamin D level included.
Since I was okay with that, I said fine.
Level was fine, too.
Have yet to get an explanation for why that was included this year.
My Rx for Ivermectin is eligible for refill tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if it will be filled.
Please Clyburn, Invite me to testify.
I spent my own money dealing with a telemed doctor who’s not afraid of you government flunkies. Said doctor prescribed Ivermectin that could be taken as a preventative dose or in the event I acquired a case of the Wuhan Red Death.
I paid cash money to get the prescription filled at a pharmacy. My own cash money.
A few weeks later, the Wuhan Red Death, otherwise known as Kung Flu and the China Virus caught up with me. I immediately began taking Ivermectin at the prescribed dosage. While I was clearly ill for a few days, the symptoms were very mild and I bounced back rapidly. My wife follwed me into the China Virus abyss a few days later and experienced the same results.
Any questions Congressman?
“Misinformation” has become a code word/phrase, like “our democracy”.
When you hear it, it tells you a lot about the person(s) using it.
I am (if I do say so myself) a COVID expert. I deal with COVID every day. The percentage of known/unknown ESSENTIAL FACTS to make good COVID decisions or policy is no greater than 50/50.
“Misinformation” is a word crafted to impugn the informer.
Information is right, or it is wrong, or it’s someone’s opinion.. A lot of OPINIONS are either “proven”, “suspected”, “speculation”, “guesses”, “mistakes”, or “lies”.
“Misinformation”, as applied to COVID, simply means “deviation from current official accounts”.
And since current official accounts about COVID can and do change, sometimes with astonishing speed, most “misinformation” describes things that need more investigation.
The Chutzpah Express is boarding.
the attack on drug therapies continues
must protect the vaxx
the ‘misinformation’ angle aside,
If people are price gouging, either on product or ‘consult fees’ just because of a pandemic, people who were gouged are entitled to a refund of the overcharge. Take pandemic telemedicine - isn’t there a $50/call billable limit during the pandemic? I’m sure I read something about a cap somewhere. Did the telemed co. charge more than that? How much more? Did they violate any laws by disallowing insurance billing and accepting only cash? If someone jacked up the price of what was ordered or took money and never sent product, then there should be a penalty for that too.
I dunno how well a lawsuit for someone who died waiting for a promise would go in a courtroom, since the survivors would have to prove it was lack of that item that specifically caused death. But I doubt a jury, or judge, would be very sympathetic to a vendor if there are complaints that people got sicker waiting on the mailman, and received assurances the product was in the mail when it never was. Same as people are trying right now to sue hospitals for not giving unapproved items. Items that should have been experimented with, if they were going to be, well before ICU stage, when it’s obvious massive damage has already been done and the virus is already burning out inside the body, to below contageous levels by 20 or so days ontheaverage.
This is the problem with the “misinformation” charge over COVID treatments.
