There used to be a concept called “therapeutic privilege”
As you say, Ivermectin has a license (to treat worms), but once licensed, any prescriber can use it for any purpose.
The concept of therapeutic privilege is, or was, if I have given it to patients for disease X and I believe I have had good results, that’s enough evidence to keep me safe.
This is no longer the case - and not just, or not even mainly, about COVID.
It’s a big change, the new standard is “evidence”, which would be fine except there is no evidence for most things, and in March 2020 there was NO EVIDENCE, of any kind, about COVID treatment.
So, the “evidence” forces have decided that the opinion of experts is evidence of a sort - and that has created a big problem.
Full disclosure: I don’t believe ivermectin has any useful activity for COVID treatment, but my opinion alone is not a sufficient basis to regulate what other prescribers do.
“Hopefully, we will survive this B$ of where only our government thugs and the elites, who control them, can maim or kill us without worry.”
We can hope, but I have my doubts.
The article at your link should be posted as a stand-alone thread. It has a lot of interesting information and cites to court decisions. Have you posted it? It’s not showing up on a search, but FR’s search portal is not always reliable.
At my age, I prefer not to post stand alone threads.
If you would like to post it as a stand alone, please do it and ping me.
This site is incredible re the issues we are facing in the US and Europe.
If there were such a thing as a medical board in the days of blood-letting, we’d still be blood-letting.
Can guarantee that it works. Myself and several friends have used it and it works within 48 hours. One of my friends is a nurse who refused the shots, got it and had her nurse practioner prescribe it .... 48 hrs was better ... 5 days completely cured.
But a lot of people get better in 48 hours.
Glad you did.
Could the people start a vote of no confidence in these anti-health medical boards? Maybe even get a plebescite onto the next election in some states?
