If the medical authorities and pharmaceutical companies actively suppressed the adoption of useful medications during a pandemic, then this is beyond the pale.
It’s a common occurrence in winter. A patient calls a primary physician to report a nonproductive cough, slight hoarseness, muscle aches, and a low-grade fever. The physician, and likely the patient, realize that this is almost certainly a viral upper respiratory infection. If the patient were in the office, the physician may test for a streptococcal bacterial infection, but it will likely be negative.
This is probably an infection with a rhinovirus, adenovirus, or endemic coronavirus. Despite this, the afflicted patient will happily proceed to the pharmacy to pick up their prescription for an antibiotic. The patient will feel as though the physician was proactive, something the doctor certainly understands.
This prescription, however, will be of no value to the patient and may actually cause issues. Yet pharmacies in the U.S. see this type of prescription thousands of times a day.
It occurs despite the fact that physicians are constantly reminded that gratuitous antibiotic prescriptions come with side effects and can lead to antibiotic resistance. Beyond that, there is no tangible resistance to this practice from the medical establishment or healthcare authorities.
Now let’s imagine another patient calls in. This patient also has a dry cough scratchy throat, muscle aches, and a low-grade fever. Only this patient had a COVID test kit at home and tested positive. The physician wants to prescribe a medication with no risk of bacterial resistance

Not only has this FDA-approved, Nobel prize-winning drug been made unavailable, but if a physician were to prescribe it, or advocate it as therapy, they are threatened with the potential loss of their medical license, their hospital affiliations, and their board certification.

According to “my guy”, who I have been buying prescription medications from for 20 years, the FDA has ordered the seizure and destruction of all ivermectin shipped into the US from foreign companies. It is truly a disgrace that our government stoops to this level to cater to pharmaceutical companies for monetary gain AND to the detriment of our citizens. It is really unbelievable.
We have some physicians here (West Texas) and some pharmacies that will fill them. Some pharmacies, however, won’t or will try to verify the prescription isn’t for COVID.

CVS here said we don’t have any and don’t know when or if we will get it. Went across street to Walgreens and ten minutes later had it in hand.
Sadly we’re forced now to make our own medical decisions as the profession is hopeless corrupt. Very sad. And I say that as a person who has had 7 successful surgeries (all of which prevented life changing/ending conditions). So I’ll go back to their system when it’s time for surgery #8, but when it’s a judgement call with profits at one end of the scale (like how high is too high for blood pressure), I’ll make that call.
Quote of the day: “Ivermectin is very effective against parasites. No wonder Democrats are scared.”
I’ve prescribed Ivermectin for a number of patients. Sometimes have to call a number of pharmacies in order to find one that will fill it. Have had a few arguments with pharmacists however. None had side effects. None ended up in hospital. Small sample I know. When Covid first hit all our “experts” were telling us to tell the patient to stay home, take Tylenol, only go to ER if they had low oxygen levels or were struggling to breathe. Made absolutely no sense. Coercion was used to limit treatments while knowing that delay and waiting for the full blown pulmonary inflammatory response and cytochrome storm was insane. State Boards and National Medical Boards threatened action for those of us who chose to actually treat patients before it was next to too late. Who knows how many died needlessly? History will record this as the greatest medical blunder since phlebotomy therapies, trepining to let out evil spirits, and frontal lobotomies.
I don’t believe the pharmacist has a right to question why the patient is taking any medication that is legally prescribed by a physician. But in these times, what does “legal” have to do with it. I have found a pharmacy that will compound doses as needed and ship to the patient so now I do not have an issue obtaining it for patients.
Looks like the feds are hoarding the meds that work for themselves. Ever notice that during the plandemic the news agencies reported on all these deaths due to covid, but no one in official DC died? Even the overweight and elderly senators.
“It was their “ace in the hole”, to make certain that they wouldn’t die from what they were unleashing.”
I was convinced that the Democrats in Congress were taking Ivermectin, as it seemed to only hit Republicans. Now, Omicron hits both, but then it’s no worse than a moderate cold and Ivermectin seems to not work against it anyway.
"Physicians reimbursed" makes no sense as patient's insurance pays or patient
pays out of pocket for prescritions.
imo, physicians should receive no monetary reward from pharmaceutical
companies for prescribing drugs of any type.
There is no doubt this allowed practice has been and is still commonly abused
by unscrupulous, greedy physicians.
BKMRK.
A doctor in Pennsylvania was just fired from her hospital position for prescribing Ivermectin for her patients. Since when are government agencies telling doctors how to treat their patients and that off-label medications that have long been shown to be safe and effective cannot be used to treat COVID?
I’m reading Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “The Real Doctor Fauci.” Kennedy’s book is exhaustively researched and footnoted. He lays out the corruption of Fauci and his cohorts. It is chilling. These criminals are killing people.
Because it works, it is inexpensive, and there’s no money in it for Big Pharma....Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, Astra-Zeneca, Merck, and all those other criminal companies who bribe the politicians and the media.
It’s been reported here on FR that 200 members of the House and Senate are on Ivermectin.
New Hampshire is trying to make Ivermectin available to buy over the counter.
Anyone that saw Trump’s last rallies, how much time did he dedicate to getting all the facts out about ivermectin? The facts are all out there for anyone who TRULY wants to know. Denying the truth about ivermectin has cost the lives of almost 1 million Americans. And thousands more die every day. Trump has spent a lot of energy pushing big pharma’s vaccines. Hopefully he is pushing ivermectin with the same energy.
bill gates already helpfully suggested what the next one will be, unfortunately.
the original source on this was Pierre Kory.
A little anecdote for y’all.
My father has an active case of covid, and actually went to an ER at one point where they diagnosed him with viral pneumonia and sent him home.
We got him some black cumin seed oil, and he’s feeling much better - he was better within hours of taking his first dose.
He is also on Ivermectin.
I think he was almost “done” with his illness but it migrated to his lungs.
