The Free State of Florida does it again!

What “allow”? Off-label prescribing has always been OK.

In a free America, it was okay.

In this America, if you prescribe off-label drugs like Ivermectin for Covid, you can lose your license in some states. No joke.

That is one of the most heinous things they have done in this mess, was to interfere with off-label use.

In addition to that, using the power of the state to limit the availability of drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

I think hundreds of thousands of people died unnecessarily because of this.

RE: Off-label prescribing has always been OK.

In theory, yes. In practice? Try prescribing Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin for Covid and see what you get for doing so in some states or even in some hospitals.

I’m beginning to reconsider DeSantis for president.

I was thinking he’d be better off staying governor of FL and being a thorn in the side of the democrats, but could you imagine a DeSantis/Rand Paul ticket?

But I would still hate to see a governor like him go. We need way more of his caliber. He’s setting the bar very high and someone needs to do that. Someone needs to set an example of what a real man in politics should be like.

But, surely you know that it was not allowed to use off label Ivermectin and HCQ for Covid, right?

Medical Boards were pulling medical licenses.

DeSantis is standing up to the Federal Govt.

I feel the same way. Just need to be sure Florida stays conservative. It’s been a refuge and an example of how state should be run. What a stark contrast....and that’s really important.

But, yes indeedy ...It would be fantastic to have DeSantis as POTUS.

The NIH says docs should use own judgment in prescribing. It is. Greedy heartless corporations that force ineffective protocols, especially in hospitals.

Try telling that to doctors who will have their hospital privileges revoked if they prescribe ivermectin for Covid.

DeSantis needs to find a way to clean out Florida’s public health snakepits.

Public health.

Talk about an oxymoron.

And the PREP Act ensured that liability protection only conveyed with covered countermeasures.

Docs could always prescribe.

But faced with threats snd/or bribes, most refused.

We now have a de facto NHS.

Clap for carers!

In talking to my primary care family doctor this month at check-up time, I asked about the current protocol for Covid treatment. She confirmed it was the same as it has been for the past two years. Stay home and do nothing until you have trouble breathing then go to the hospital. When I asked if she would still be my doctor while at the hospital, she confirmed that no, the hospital doctor would be in charge. So the fact is, in our state, our family docs that we know and who know us, will not be prescribing anything. We will be in the hands of who ever the hospital doc is and in essence, what ever policy the hospital has put into place which will not be based on medicine, but on profit…. A one-policy-fits-all situation when it comes to Covid. Almost as if this is a “plandemic” where the treatment was decided before the onset and nothing else can be tried.

That is a sorry state of affairs! How have we reached this point ? I would think that more real doctors would be contesting this, as they are in danger of becoming “medically” irrelevant and just puppets of the government.

Let’s pray that what is happening in Florida spreads.
