Jason Tidd, Topeka Capital-Journal Wed, January 26, 2022, 10:06 AM·8 min read A group of Kansas politicians tasked with steering public health policy are pushing to allow doctors to prescribe unproven treatments and preventives for COVID-19 without any potential for responsibility.
While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned against using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, some Republican senators want to shield doctors from legal liability and board discipline for prescribing the drugs.
Ivermectin is used to treat parasitic worms, especially in livestock. Hydroxychloroquine, sometimes abbreviated as HCQ, is a malaria drug that is also used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Neither drug has proven to be save and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19.

Good.
Why does the FDA want more deaths?
What happened to Right To Try?
Let’s see if Kansas has the cajones to put this bill into law.
If they do, then the next bill should deny the State Medical Boards from punishing any doctor who prescribes ivermectin.
The COVID vaccines have been used to treat animals.
“Neither drug has proven to be save”....
Wow, great command of the English language.
They can’t even write their lies properly.
Someone turned-off Syntax Checker.
So much better to adhere to the CDC's protocol and if sick, isolate until you can't breathe, then go to the ER, where they will put you on Remdesivir and destroy your kidneys, then a ventilator until you die.
It was a lie too as both Ivermectin and HCQ are some of the most prescribed medicines on this earth and have proven to be “SAFE” for decades.
.
Off label treatment is legal under all circumstances, EXCEPT the use of ivermectin or HCQ for COVID - maybe.
Now. The fact that I CAN prescribe anything for any reason does NOT mean it can’t be malpractice - if I gave you amoxicillin to treat your breast cancer, I couldn’t defend myself on the basis that it was “legal”.
It’s further complicated in the case of COVID because there are 50 states and 50 sets of rules, and most of them aren’t “laws”, per se. Most of them are regulations issued by State agencies with authority over pharmacy or medical practice.
Many hospitals, mine included, used a lot of HCQ from March through June or July, 2020. It was perfectly legal.
I imagine the use of ivermectin is legal as well, unless a Legislature has made it illegal by passing a law. Hundreds and hundreds of off-label prescriptions are written every day, and I’ve never heard of it being illegal.
Went to my doc for my yearly physical recently and she somehow knew I filled a script for Ivermectim written back in January by a friend of mine.
She said to me “Ivermectin is horse paste and causes blindness!!!”
I gave her a looooong lecture on Covid and it’s treatment. (I’m a doc and she knows that!!)
I will NEVER step foot in her office again. What a major idiot.
So is penicillin.
Do we now consider penicillin horse paste?
Ivermectin should be over the counter. Oh, wait...it is at Tractor Supply.
Well, good! You still need to convince your indoctrinated Doc that you need it.
This gaslighting article fails to mention that the vaccine companies are also legally immune from harmful consequences of use of their vaccines ... and their products are mandatory for millions of people.
Ivermectin was developed by Merck in 1980 to treat human river blindness. It was not developed for animals unless you listen to CNN and the rest.
The recommended treatment is ivermectin, which will need to be given every 6 months for the life span of the adult worms (i.e., 10–15 years) or for as long as the infected person has evidence of skin or eye infection. Ivermectin kills the larvae and prevents them from causing damage but it does not kill the adults.?
