I posted a few days ago on the last thread that my niece in Austin, TX had been diagnosed with COVID. Normally she listens to her conservative, Q-reading, Trump-supporting dad, but I guess she's been at UT long enough that the liberal ideology has sunken in. She's not a lost cause, but she thought that treatments for COVID were fake news.

Using articles I sent him from FreeRepublic, he finally convinced her, but then came the problem of (a) finding a doctor willing to prescribe ivermectin, and (b) finding a pharmacist to dispense it. He found a doctor, who sent the prescription to CVS in Austin. CVS prepared the prescription, but then when niece went to pick it up, the pharmacist refused to give it to her -- and then cancelled the prescription so she couldn't transfer it to another CVS.

A year ago Texas passed a "conscientious objector" law so that a pharmacist could refuse to dispense a prescription (e.g., abortion drugs) based on personal beliefs. This pharmacist invoked that law -- but the law requires that the pharmacist name an alternative source, which this one didn't do.

My brother called the CVS legal department, and they said this was against their policy. They quickly revived the prescription and sent him to a CVS store in Houston, which filled it. He's now busy FedEx-ing it to his daughter.

Brother plans to take up the issue with the Texas Medical Board.

Hopefully CVS will take action against the pharmacist.

Thank God. Brother activates. All the way to the Texas Medical Board!💪

I watched Dr. Peter McCullough speak to a Texas state senate committee about early treatment alternatives that at the time were $7 to $9, Hydroxychloripine and I think Ivermectin was on the table by then, as well.

The committee was just short of wondering, “How long before lunch”. None of Dr. M’s advice to at least make avaliable in all Texas medical facilities that early treatment alternative Rx’s were proven successful against hospitalizations & death by respirator.

Let me know how the captured Medical Board responds. Grrr. Best wishes for your family! ❤

Point out to the pharmacist that the inventor of Ivermectin got the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for it, that billions of doses have been given in the third world without problems (for river blindness), and it’s on the World Health Organization’s list of top 100 essential medicines.
Oh, and it’s safer than Tylenol.
