Send it to the Chinese Communist Party headquarters and tell them it is a traditional Amerindian medicine that if taken twice a day, every day, will turn you into the Perfect Communist Man.

We probably will too, if the Demoncrats get their way.

I know it was a miserable time. All of our underwear had to be boiled, the sheets had to be boiled, and we had to take some nasty medicine. There were four of us all two years apart. The doctor told Mom that pinworm eggs were so tiny that they could go through the pores in our feet.

Special authorization to write the prescription was given by Health Canada, as its manufacturer has not filed a drug submission in Canada

Just a guess on my part; I imagine that the company has judged that it would not be profitable to get the drug approved in Canada.

It is probably just as true in Canada as in the US, it cost a lot of money to get drugs approved.

If you won’t sell enough of the drug to recoup the cost of approval you don’t seek approval.

The Left is always after Federal control of drug prices. Well, here is an example of where that idea goes South. Necessary drugs that are not available.

But your post brings up a point not covered in the article. Was the drug available from a Veterinarian?

What kind of ghoul would tell a patient with a possibly fatal ingestion to "wait and see" if they develop symptoms?

That's what we recommended for Covid-19 last year.
In fact, not only infected but on death's door. Then we'll treat you.

The people often exhibited bizarre behavior before being diagnosed. Has Joe Biden been tested yet?

What are they waiting for?

That stuff has been around for most of my life.

It’s SO common, you can just go get it at the farm stores.

Hope the kid survives his country’s screwed up politics.

I can’t imagine any vet anywhere who doesn’t have it.

Yeah, it’s a challenge. But unlike you, people have always liked being around me, so I was able to marry up. You wouldn’t understand the concept.

I have a little raccoon I named Hoover that has started coming out in daylight to eat the bird food I sprinkle on the ground. Usually I would catch him climbing up my feeder at 1 AM. Now he is bold as he knows where the good stuff is every day and I see him most afternoons for a bit.

He Hoover’s up all the peanuts and then starts on the sunflower seeds. All “no mess” food so he doesn’t even have to shell anything.

He is so cute. I can’t even chase him off. I didn’t know they could carry such parasites either but really it isn’t surprising.

You see what this says about the Canadian Health Care System that our leftist/socialist Democrats have wanted us to emulate?

LOL! I am looking forward to the transgender movies about to be made.

One of them will certainly win the Oscar!

They had to get special permission for the script.

That would put the case on the radar of the health authorities.

If they got the drug from a vet and got caught you can bet that there would be legal repercussions.

But their child at least would be alive and free of brain damage.

I swallowed a coin when I was a child. My poor dad had to put on gloves and look through my poop, which I had deposited in a bucket, for a couple of days until he found it. LOL!
