HARRISBURG, Pa. - As more Pennsylvanians are diagnosed with COVID-19, families of those infected are ready to give alternative treatments a try to save dying loved ones. But the path to experiment controversial medicines is not an easy one.
On Monday, Rep. Dawn Keefer, who serves York and Cumberland Counties spoke in front of the state health committee on the benefits of House Bill 1741. The bill, written by Rep. Keefer, would give doctors the approval to prescribe off-label drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients.
"We need to give everyone more resources and effort into treatment, preventative and outpatient treatment as we are the vaccines," said Keefer.
Ivermectin is FDA approved to treat parasites in animals and to treat parasitic worms in humans. However, the FDA has said the drug has not been approved to treat COVID-19 and can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and even death if taken in large doses.
Hydroxychloroquine is FDA approved to treat chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus erythematosus in adults, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, the FDA issued a caution against using the drug to treat COVID-19 as it causes heart rhythm problems in patients.
The FDA warnings have caused some hospitals to keep the two drugs off their treatment plan to help fight COVID-19. Still, some doctors who believe the drugs can work say institutions are blocking them from being able to freely treat their patients.
"My purpose here today is to rebuild the physician-patient covenant and prevent physicians' hands from being tied," said Dr. Chaminie Wheeler, a doctor in the Bucks County area.
However, other medical professionals say monoclonal treatments and vaccines are the only two treatments for COVID-19.

Gee, didn’t Roe v Wade enshrine privacy between doctor and patient as a Constitutional right?
Seems so but I'd like to add that many of us have resisted this tooth and nail and unfortunately with absolutely no help from our elected stiffs in congress. If they can't lead us during this mess, what good are they?
The bill they should pass is allowing people to sue for damages done by the jabs.
No, the mystic penumbra only emanated enough to cover medical procedures that kill an innocent victim. The mystic parts of the Bill of Rights is very subtle and treacherous and only the super duper woke can comprehend it. To those of us depending on reason and common sense the penumbra is wholly contradictory and convoluted.

“But the path to experimental controversial medicines is not an easy one.”
WHAT? “experimental controversial medicines” NOT!
Only controversial in the media and government.
Only experimental for COVID! Well, COVID is BRAND NEW! So EVERYTHING to treat COVID could be construed as “experimental”, BUT THESE drugs have been used WORLD WIDE for DECADES with little to no side effects.
BOLD FACE LIES and DECEPTION will be our doom.
