GOP bills aimed at unproven treatments for COVID-19

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Doctors and hospital leaders are pushing back against a package of Republican bills that seek to bar health care providers from withholding unproven treatments for COVID-19.

The three bills released this week would prevent health systems and medical credentialing boards from disciplining doctors for ordering or advocating for therapies or medicine for patients that go against medical opinions held by their employers or regulators.

The legislation would force pharmacists to fill all prescriptions ordered by doctors except in rare circumstances, the Journal Sentinel reported.

The bills, if passed, could be vetoed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

The legislation allows doctors and pharmacists to provide COVID-19 patients with drugs that have not been proven to be safe treatments for such infections, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Sort of like unproven vaccines for COVID-19?

Ivermectin is more proven than their notavax shots.

“The legislation allows doctors and pharmacists to provide COVID-19 patients with drugs that have not been proven to be safe treatments”

But experimental “vaccines” using a new untested and dangerous technologies are fine.

Progress at least that GOP legiscritters are seeing enough upside to begin to at least create some action or movement in this direction.

Ivermectin has been shown to work by the Japanese. However Saint Fauci of Wuhan teaches us that unless supported be science, that is by Saint Fauci, then it is disinformation.

Tie this article back to the one re the Johns Hopkins study.

Block stuff that doesn’t match the approved narrative of “KillShots for All - or else!”

I swear, these people are totally unaware of their own stupidity.

One would believe they must not think before they write.

“Doctors and hospital leaders”

Yeah, sure.
How about some doctors and most hospital administrators receiving bounties for using only Fauci drugs like the ebola drug remdesivir

Quote: “ medicine for patients that go against medical opinions held by their employers or regulators.”

So now employers and regulators know more than your doctor.

“But experimental “vaccines” using a new untested and dangerous technologies are fine.”

and shutting down patient’s kidneys with remdesevir is just peachy. That way they get their huge bonus from Medicare. (why is Medicare paying a huge bonus for using the one drug?)

Republicans are trying to keep local governments and administrators from getting in between patients and their doctors.

The lefts satanic opposition to safe alterna4ive medicines continues nonstop, and has very.likely, almost assuredly cost the us alone 100’s of 1000’s of lives. Even herod didn’t kill.that many people in his satanic agenda to prevent christ from being born.

Aaaaargh.

This has nothing to do with unproven.

It has everything to do with the PREP Act and covered countermeasures.

Ivermectin, for example, is not a covered countermeasure because it’s unproven.

It’s not a covered countermeasure because it’s safe, it’s cheap, and it works.

Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

HCQ plus zinc and ivermectin are both effective in shutting down viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. The vaxx companies have coerced both the medical regulators and politicians into punishing doctors who choose to treat the infection instead of toeing the line of mRNA vaxx and hospital protocol using remdesivir, ventilation and dehydration to kill patients. It's time to push back against the pharma coercion.

From an article about Massachusetts: "During the same period, health officials also recorded 27,530 new breakthrough infections and 555 additional hospitalizations. The state has now reported a total of 422,132 cases and 6,440 admissions among the fully vaccinated."

Maybe the vaccines should be added to the list of "unproven" treatments. And these numbers don't include the vaccines' adverse side effects, just their failures against Covid-19.
