Republican state lawmakers across the United States have proposed – and in some cases passed – legislation that they say keeps the government from interfering with doctors who want to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to help prevent and treat Covid-19.Over 91% Democrats vaccinated, while only 60% Republicans have taken one shot, data reveals
And so it goes with the latest suspect Covid-19 treatment that has become about more than just a drug, but rather about whether to trust established public health organizations or doctors who stray from their guidelines, and podcast and cable news hosts. “We are leaving it up to medical professionals like it should be, not bureaucrats trying to maintain a single message,” said Kansas state Senator Richard Hilderbrand, the chair of the committee that sponsored theThe Kansas bill requires a pharmacist to dispense a prescription for hydroxychloroquine sulfate and ivermectin and states that it protects pharmacists or prescribers from liability for prescribing the drugs for Covid-19.
While passing laws to keep doctors from providing reproductive healthcare and abortions to people who can become pregnant.
Oh the bureaucrats would really hate it if there were inexpensive, widely available, non-gene-therapy treatment options with zero side effects. That would really grind their gears. Being a good American just means accepting what you’re told by The Experts in charge of The Science
It’s about damn time
'LiStEN tO tHe DoCtORs!!11!' 'My doctor said Ivermectin will help and prescribed it for me.' 'NoT tHaT dOcTor!' Make up your minds, people. I know a few who took ivermectin and their condition got better pretty quick. No adverse events, seriously a good drug for COVID ime.
I'm not Republican & I know many of my fellow Dems who are in favor of let the doctor assess the patient & prescribe what they find necessary. Including Ivermectin. Don't assume only Republicans are for this. Dems that voted for Biden shifting due to child vaccination, maksing.
My question is If those medicines are good and working why not use them The rejection of some drugs and allowing some point that this Covid-19 is man made not from nature
Quit the bullshit, everyone now knows it works and what Big Pharma is pushing isn’t!
Let’s *actually* be real; the ONE AND ONLY REASON TO DENY ivermectin or any other anti-Covid med is nothing but politics. NOTHING. These meds have been shown well before 2020 to have effective treatment against coronaviruses. They are killing people.
Make them OTC!!
They bought stock
saabelieves Where is the AMA on this?
What the heck!
Hard to imagine why doctors can’t prescribe medicine THEY think is helpful. Isn’t that what doctors, not governments, do?
Why stop there? Why not cyanide and bleach. If we are going to let doctors prescribe whatever a person asks, why not stuff that can kill you too?
I honestly don’t care whatever quack treatment other people want to take. If my doctor suggested Ivermectin or HQC, I’d find another doctor. The real problem is vaccine resistance, whatever the excuse. And at least wear a f*ing mask.
They shouldn’t stop them for taking Bleach or putting ultraviolet light inside their bodies. Trump said it would work.
WOW FREEDOM TO TAKE A LEGAL!!!! FDA APPROVED!!!!!! FOR HUMAN BEINGS!!!! RX WHAT A CONCEPT!!! OmicronVarient Ivermectin BidenWorstPresidentEver
It’s called allowing doctors and patients to have a confidential professional relationship. The state has no business in this. Try another misleading headline.
The fact that so many people are unaware of the studies and evidence that these drugs are effective early outpatient treatment options is staggering. And that a “journalist “ can ignore that evidence and label it “dubious” is unconscionable.
If your doctor approves and the patient agrees (believes science) what's the problem? Ivermectin and HQ are approved and effective everywhere in the world except here....curious to say the least.
America's Frontline Doctor's recommend ivermectin for Covid. Why is a law needed to allow docs from prescribing a safe drug that's been around for decades? Answer: Money & Control
Dubious?
Dubious? It worked - censor if you like but it worked
You mean doctors can treat their patients without interference? What a novel idea!
ruth_hartjen Can the red states’ governments stop trying to interfere with doctors who want to prescribe Plan B? govkristinoem
So says who? I heard a nurse say different! She said that ivermectin works!! So, take that medical advice to the bank why don't you?!! We need more treatments not more inferior vaccines!
They have decades of research and many off label uses already. Proven anti-virals. Big govt is narrowing the solutions to vaccine only, why? Lots of FDA and CDC officials have worked for BigPharma companies. Coincidence?
2 years and hundreds of thousands of lives late. Smh
At this point in the Pandemic.. SO WHAT.. let the QNut crazies have all the toxic snake oil they want. Why are we stopping them?
How about govt staying out of it altogether! For pain meds I have to hear how my doctor is more afraid of the State than my suffering. State loves to interfere. It’s all political.
Thank you. Freedom or decision.
The government should NOT be interfering with doctors treating their patients. This shouldn’t even be a controversial take.
Natural selection ftw...
NickSawyerMD Darwinism. Do not lower the standards that doctors need to keep
Why would anyone be ‘concerned’ about letting doctor’s doctor and patient’s make their own personal healthcare decisions? It’s almost like they aren’t really after what’s in our best interest.
OMG! The Republicans have got to be stopped from pushing medicines that don’t work for COVID. Why are the Republicans doing this?
Hospital systems obey fed & state politicians, keep MDs from treating C19 patients w/therapeutics. Boards threaten pharmacists' licenses for filling rx's of specific drugs. 100,000's die thru incompetence & censorship wrt treatment. Lawsuits against Feds, States, Big Tech?
Doctor’s in most states need a license to prescribe ivermectin. So I don’t know what the play is here. Passing a law for of a limited access drug, is essentially a feel good law in name only.
Good 🙏
You can’t say listen to the doctors out of one side of your mouth and don’t t out the other. These are Rep or Dem, these are doctors. This is about control. Why is the govt. involved in what doctors do anyway? 1K a second that’s why. Pharma want their money!
If you have an immune system, why do you need medicine?
You worried? Good. Pucker up.
What kind of doctor prescribes medication for Covid that doesn’t even work?
Protests in support of the victims of historic abuse at Trinity Church Brentwood (Elim) staged outside one of 'Elim's Premier London Churches' - City Gates Ilford
Let em
My son's doc lost his medical license because he was prescribing Ivermectin to people and waiving masks for children. Hopefully he can get his license re-instated.
Dubious cure? Ivermectin won a Nobel Peace prize and was touted by scientists worldwide as a miracle drug. Suddenly it’s a “dubious” cure! Your nothing but a propaganda machine for Big Pharma
Common sense is still a barrier though.
If the new definition of “vaccine” is something that helps prevent hospitalization and death, does that make ivermectin a vaccine? Asking for a friend.
To hasten their recovery, they can always bypass the MD and go straight to the DVM.
Good
Yahoo news is just fake, liberal garbage.
Evolution at Warp Speed. Darwin was right. GetVaccinated 💉💉💉 WearAMask 😷 COVID19 ☠☠
It should be on every shelf. The government should have done what India did. They sent out med kits to all citizens so they could take these easy to use medication and be better with out having to be sent to the hospital. Ours just sends you a test. The fuck that do
So, they want to legalize medical malpractice on mentally inept rednecks, but ban medically safe healthcare for women?
This is dumb. Why have doctors at all if we aren’t going to regard their expertise about our health. How about we just get rid of hospitals altogether. We’ll call it the place to self-diagnose & pick your own meds!
Paid for by pfizer
it works so might as well use it
What nonsense! 'Dubious?' Are you serious? There has been success worldwide using this safe treatment. It's a crime that its use has been hindered in the U.S. Free up doctors to provide the care they were trained for. Enough with the politics and pandering. MSM should be ashamed.
The bottom line is, pharma doesn't want this to work, soon hopefully they won't have an option.
🇺🇸🇺🇸
I sure they document the number of deaths where IVM was the only method of treatment. The vaccine hesitant are always concerned about numbers.
I have have personally managed to get access to Ivermectin to 4 senior adults through FLCCC who had severe covid and within 1 day they all recovered. Anecdotal? Lol.
Just in time
No idea if those drugs work or not but fully support any bill that allows a doctor and patient the ability to decide what treatment is best for them.
Most westerners had never heard of ivermectin until Rogan and others. By calling it 'horse medicine' they have unwittingly played their hand as privileged, white and wealthy. Much of Africa and Asia rely on ivermectin. Maybe read, travel more.
Yes! politicians should know more than Dr's about medicine
If it's prescribed by a certified physician and the patient gives informed consent, I'm not sure who else's business it is.
Ivermectin? Wait!
good
Chewing tobacco drives out worms in goats just like horses. My father gave it to livestock. Cheaper than ivermectin and just as effective. You're welcome.
my body my choice. except for women.
My next door neighbor just died from covid. Ivermectin user. Anti vaxxer. RIP.
hectic_energy This is a lie. They have not been proven ineffective. Yahoo spreads false medical information.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Who would've thought I'd be thankful to the Republicans! Shows how far the Dems have come from body autonomy.
So they’re saying there are still doctors that think these are good treatments and that the government has been preventing them from prescribing it? This seems insane to me.
Democrats and Republicans are wrong so much, it's a pleasure when one if them is right. No one should be blocking early treatment of COVID. It should not even be a political issue. And corporations should not dictate our public health.
BuT bIg PhArMa!
Good
My dr prescribed both ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine when my family got covid and within 2 days we were back on our feet and back to work. Most drs in my state swear by it. In fact my dr mentioned it was what dr Fauci took when he had it. Do the math people
Honesty, just let them. Let the trash take itself out with these snake oil cures.
Ivermectin
Gotta have my horse paste! And don’t forget the bleach.
These people are trying to kill us. Why in the hell should we vote them into power?
The Drs were using these drugs at first and found they had no effect on Covid! Dang it people!! If these drugs worked the Drs would still be using them!! Enough time has passed to know for sure!!
Ivermectin Rogers is boycotting the SB!
Let them use ivermectin but make them seek treatment in a pasture.
How could this be legal? Shouldn't the medical profession, scientific community have something to say about this? (I mean the reputable ones)
Let’s start setting up politically partisan hospitals! This is a great idea. Let’s go Darwin!!
My dad took Ivermectin when he had Covid. I took Hydroxychloroquine when I had Covid. We're both alive. Therapeutics work.
Passing legislation so doctors can prescribe medications that are right for their patients? Wow so controversial.
My dogs take ivermectin monthly to prevent heartworm.
I will only take Ivermectin in the Apple horse paste flavor. Will the Republican proposals allow for that?
I bet the doctor's malpractice insurance provider would love to hear about any doctor prescribing this. And I doubt any big provider a doctor is signed under will allow it for the very same reason.
More thinking of MAGA!
Actually the worst reporting ever seen by Yahoo news. No one said it was a cure. It’s a treatment. These are very safe medications one of the safest adverse drugs on the market
Except no doctor with his Salt would ever prescribe these for covid
Hey........let them knock themselves out practicing herd immunity. The majority of the deaths these days are of those not vaccinated. Power to the people.....ahahah!!!!!!!
ivermectin? i hardly know him!
Why take the vaccine? When you can just just pay thousands of dollars in medical bills?
Even the makers say it’s not for Covid. Trump claims he took them but he still got Covid. They’re killing off their voter base, and innocent children.
Ivermectin causes impotence...
Screw it... Feed Ivermectin to the magaas. As much as they want. More the better IMHO.
Those doctors that prescribe a treatment that doesn’t work should have their licenses suspended.
Let them. When they have kidney problems and liver problems later on....oh well.
I’m not too keen on Covid stuff (but I know the vaccine works, boosters are reasonable, etc), but the Ivermectin controversy is confusing to me. Doctors are prescribing it off-label and it seems to work. Even if it isn’t doing anything, why is this a political argument?
Cool. Im fine with antivaxxers getting the fake treatment they demand from their quack doctors. As long as the rest of us get real medication. Chlorine in the gene pool.
Just let them prescribe it. They must sign a release stating no liability if it doesn't work. Let them all keep committing suicide. Why do we keep trying?
As long as you stay away from the Hospitals, I don't care.
Lol I RETIRED FROM THE MEDICAL FIELD AND I JUST HAD A GOOD LAUGH. THEY DO NOT WORK. HAVE THIS SO CALL DOCTORS POST THERE DATA .
Let's not prevent them from selling snake oil and BS too. Let's make everyone an honorary MD with all authority and no oversight!
........thin the herd?
Fine. Let the doctors and their patients who apparently know more than them set up their own medical facilities and leave current hospitals and staff to care for those who believe in science and sanity. .Yahoo
Why does the US_FDA allow people to violate drug advertising rules on right wing media? And Doctors take an oath to “do no harm”. It isn’t the government, it’s their consciences!
Good 👍
Yoohoo, Viagra too?
Doctors can prescribe it, that should stay the same. They can face malpractice and be sanctioned by medical disciplinary boards.
Moving closer to Trumpy’s idea of bleach.
Of course. When they have personal financial stakes. Wouldn't want to miss out on their paychecks. dirtymofos
Republicans are insane
I say go ahead. They can get poisoning for all I care
having to pass legislation to use drugs that work...unbelievable.
Yahoo is a paid shill of big pharma. Go away - you're dishing out disinformation.
Gotta keep that grift going!
Someone should tell them that there is a vaccine available now. They are probably so busy legislating that they haven’t heard yet!
Ivermectin is yesterdays cure. Today it is drinking and vaping your own piss
People are choosing how to die. This is as American as apple pie. This is a pathway to leaving the planet.
Amazing how those who won't get the vaccine, that actually works will gladly take ivermectin & hydroxychloroquine even though it's been proven that they don't work. Sounds like some republican lawmakers bought some serious stock in these drugs.
Plenty of studies and evidence around ther world which shows is effective.
Ideal!!
What we need is more vaccines! I’ve had covid 41 times and 79 vaccines. I hope to have 100 by March
I say let them do it because they are killing their voters. I’m more empathetic towards the doctors that have to deal with these idiots that want horse de-wormer
This is a grift & anti vax are making big money as they complain about the vaccine is making big Pharma money. They really are killing people including themselves.
Not bright ppl.!
While we’re at it bring back leeches and forced electroshock therapies, since they’re pushing treatments that don’t help.
I’m not a Republican but this i agree with If your doctor Rx a drug and you agree then outsiders should not be interfering Many drugs are given for off label use every day Those who state ‘study after study’ haven’t read/researched anything more than headlines.
Since when are they the ones with the degrees? Nope. I wouldn’t see a physician that prescribed those drugs for COVID.
Because they both work, end of story.
Dewormed Republicans would be a step in the right direction. Ivermectin
Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms, some topical forms of ivermectin are approved to treat external parasites like head lice. Parasites people!
It will work itself out of if people insist on taking it; just not in the way that they hoped. The doctors will self-cancel when their malpractice insurance skyrockets from killing patients. This is fine.
Taking medical advice from a politician. No thanks..
Finally! End the vax nonsense!
Yahoo propaganda. not news.
the funny thing about this is that ivermectin and hydro are both big Pharma ... and all the people that wanna take this shit .. ARE AGAINST BIG PHARMA 😂😂😂
Let them do it. Darwinism at its most brilliant
No matter what any state does u cannot force a pharmacist to fill a script. And that is why at the very end of the article Kansas says they are taking the script filling requirements out, they know it’s not legal but are not saying that is the reason.
If not approved by the fda, simply have dr and patient sign off before taking. Every time we enter a dr’s office, we’re always signing off pages and pages of who know’s what
Too many potential cardiac issues with HCQ. IMOH, evidence does not show efficacy of IVM, but OTC case might be made.(some toxicities with it though). Public health issue is overriding vaccines, that has become politicized.
No to masks. No to vaccines. Yes to Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Makes perfect sense to me. I wouldn’t expect anything else from ANY Republican.
Couldn't fit'despite no credible evidence they work'
If a doctors is trying to prescribe them, then they should be able to. Listen to the Drs, right?
Ivermectin is the best treatment option for Covid (at any stage of the virus) that we are currently aware of. You’ve all been lied to. The satay is pouring in. Ivermectin saves lives.
Just look outside of the grey area u obviously seem to not see. Why would they push a medicine that takes away from they’re profit ? Ivermectin has a been proven to work. The big gov daddy comes after doctors who prescribe them
The GQP.. idiots on parade
And why is that a big deal? Preventing doctors from doing their job?
That's reasonable. If your doctor says you need it, who should say you can't have it? No one seems bothered by Ivermectin's tremendous success in Africa treating river blindness, lymphatic filariasis. There's a dose for humans, and a dose for animals. Not too hard to figure out.
Follow the money they push it because it lines their pockets not because it’s the right thing to do.
'Dubious'. Nothing like honest journalism. Has the writer of this 'news' article seen the studies?
At this point? Let them have as much as they want…. Have at it!
Food
If a doctor wants to prescribe a horse pill to a human, then the medical society should investigate them.
Decisions made between a doctor and their patient is none of your business, yahoo.
It is proving more effective and less deadly.
Oh look, peer reviewed study just published a few days ago. Wonder if people will accept it.
How is that a bad thing? Seriously WTF yahoo news
Ivermectin works just two little pencil eraser size dips is all it takes. Demrats and big Pharma don’t want you to get healthy by any other way
Look, we understand that and their fellow travelers would like the Village to be able to weigh in here, but I think well over 90% of us Individuals, here in the U.S., feel that this conversation should happen between my doctor and myself. Busybodies need not worry.
Horse de-wormer is good for human beings. Lets go back to ingesting lysol
My vaccined parents tested positive for Covid and Flu December 19, 2021, Doctor gave both the medication mention, Z-pac, steroids, Pepcid AC, & (MABS 5 days) after they started taking the meds above. Our yearly Christmas gathering was moved from Christmas Eve, to the day after.
I say let them have at it.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick joins MedCramvideos to discuss COVID 19 vaccines, spike protein, ivermectin, VAERS, breakthrough Infections, antibody dependent enhancement, fertility, delta variant, myocarditis, fluvoxamine, optimizing immunity, and more.
Also don't forget eating dirt and drinking your own urine.
Love ivermectin! Saved so many lives
i will not take unproven Ivervectim because I am a human not an animal.
Didn’t know Republican law makers where doctors. Again Republicans always interfering with our lives.
Yeah dubious cure that has studies showing it works better than remdesivir. Interesting
Misinformation in the Yahoo tweet - no surprise. At no time has it been claimed that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine “prevent” COVID, unlike the “vaccines”. They are therapeutics.
Republican state lawmakers across the US decide to override medical science and federal agencies for dealing with people's health: vaccines? bad snake oil cures? good I'm SERIOUSLY gonna have to ask my doctor if they're a Republican before going to them for treatment.
Forsythia
Ahh yes, but Republicans will fight tooth and nail on a proven vaccine that works. Yup sounds like the good ol' party ...
