Washington state suspends a physician assistant for prescribing Ivermectin
American Thinker ^ | 10/21/2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 10/21/2021 7:44:57 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A lot of people are angry that more doctors aren’t prescribing ivermectin when they first get diagnosed with COVID. However, a Washington State physician assistant lost his license because he prescribed ivermectin. Most doctors, having invested years upwards of seven years of their lives in preparing to be a physician, don’t want to destroy that career over a politically incorrect prescription.

Andrea Salcedo, who to my great surprise has degrees in journalism, is a terrible writer. Nevertheless, she has a job at the Washington Post, from which platform she wrote a barely comprehensible article about a physician assistant named Scott C. Miller whose license the Washington Medical Commission suspended. The article is framed to make it appear that ivermectin will kill people.

If you wade through Salcedo’s disordered, chaotic prose, you can discern a few points. First, Salcedo makes sure everyone knows ivermectin is a “deworming” or anti-parasite drug, although concedes it works on humans too. Second, Scott Miller believes in ivermectin. Third, he prescribed it to some very sick people: A woman so ill she was dependent on oxygen used but still died. Another man’s family, working with Miller, tried to get a hospital to prescribe ivermectin. The hospital refused and the man died. And a third man who needed oxygen got a prescription of ivermectin from Miller, although it’s not clear whether he used it. The man later died.

All told, Miller had “more than a dozen complaints” made against him for prescribing ivermectin to people. Some of the complaints revolved around the fact that he prescribed the medicine after speaking with people over the phone, rather than examining them. Of course, nowadays, that’s become a standard of care.

If you read the Washington Medical Commission’s press release about its decision to suspend Miller, the real anger seems to be that he dared to promote ivermectin at all—and that he was kind of aggressive and jerk-like about doing it. What seems like the most serious allegation—that he lied about being under investigation in California—is a throwaway line:

WMC alleges PA Miller’s treatment of COVID-19 patients fell below the standard of care. Miller began a public campaign promoting ivermectin as a curative for COVID-19, and prescribed it without adequate examination to at least one person, with no reliable clinical studies that establish its efficacy in preventing or treating COVID-19.

Allegations against Miller also include: interfering with the care of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, engaging in a hostile and and threatening public campaign against both hospitals and individual physicians regarding COVID-19 treatment; and lying on his initial licensing application by denying that he was under investigation by the State of California’s Physician Assistant Board.

Miller, who obtained his state physician assistant license in 2013, has publicly rallied against masks. At a May school board meeting in Camas, Wash., a maskless Miller told the audience that he had written mask exemptions so his children could attend school without face coverings, the medical commission found. He also said they had traveled without wearing a mask at the airport or on the plane.

At that same meeting, Miller said he had treated 350 covid patients with ivermectin, vitamin C and vitamin D. “It actually cures, if anybody cared to look at the data,” Miller said, according to the commission’s report.

Saw this today:

Merck’s New Miracle Covid Drug Is A “Horse Pill”

quote:
Merck, the creator of Ivermectin, has developed a new therapeutic drug called Molnupiravir for treating covid. Molnupiravir was initially created to treat horses for Venezuelan equine encephalitis. Yes, that’s right, it’s a “horse pill,” and the media is ignoring it. To be clear, there are many drugs that are used in both humans and animals, but the only one that draws scrutiny is Ivermectin, and wrongly so.

quote:
There’s a possible reason why the “horse pill” label is bad for Ivermectin but good for Molnupiravir. According to a report issued by drug pricing experts at the Harvard School of Public Health and King’s College Hospital in London, this new drug costs $17.74 to manufacture per treatment course, but Merck is charging the U.S. government $712 per treatment course for the same amount of medicine, or 40 times the price. The Biden administration pledged to purchase $1.2 billion when Molnupiravir receives FDA approval. A treatment course of Ivermectin is under $50.

One of the pitfalls of working in a profession where your ability to work depends on a license. For a number of reasons physicians tend to be conformists, and this is one of the biggest reasons.

EWEE is treated with a vaccine-—annual for most horses.

MY horses have been given that VAX for many years.

Eastern/Western Equine Encephalitis is given with Tetanus & West Nile Virus vaccine—all in one shot.

Gets recorded as EWEE/TET/WNV in Vet’s records.

"Conformists" is a generously kind word.

Ivermectin works to prevent and cure the CCP virus. Anyone who doubts this needs to do an Internet search for Ivermectin India

Lots of proof there.

Technically, a license to practice medicine, means just that - you can prescribe what in your best knowledge may work. At least that was the way it was prior to the nationalization of medicine. Now it is all dictated by national guidelines written by pharma companies and the insurance companies along with the AMA enforce it by grading physicians on how well they prescribe the “correct” drug. Physicians need to document what you say to them about your health and then they must respond in the standardized way, even though human beings differ radically in their presentation of health or disease.

Ivermectin = more people alive = fewer resources for the ruling elite in the New World Order.

I’m in WA State and got IVM prescribed over the phone by a PA, not because I had covid or tested positive for SARS-COV-2. I am free of all that.

I wanted IVM because I foresaw it would be restricted for political reasons and because I read through several background science papers showing its action, efficacy, and performance. IVM’s inventors won a Nobel Prize in 2015 and now in 2021, IVM is poison and kills people. The same PR crafted smears were directed against HCQ in 2020.

With monstrous, notorious, corrupt bureaucrats like Fauci who apparently hold an MD degree but haven’t seen a patient in more than 35 years and who are tied to psychopath billionaire Eugenicists like Bill Gates who pushes vaccines with the idea to sterilize the population or hasten their demise and .....

are rumored to have groups plotting to take over IVM production and distribution, restricting it and/or contaminating it .....

I rushed to get an IVM Rx.

But as I searched earlier this year for where I could get a prescription, I experienced MDs who would not help, who had been intimidated, persuaded to stay away from this Nobel Prize winning medicine that has a track record of safety over more than 30 years, safer than Tylenol.

Perseverance brought me into contact with the PA that prescribed it for me.

What to do?

Our election system in WA State is rigged so it can’t be used by voters to clean out the Marxist bureaucracy that suspends licenses of those prescribing IVM or HCQ.

So we can’t vote ourselves out of this.

The legal community is neutered with the threat of suspending law licenses with Bar Association Reviews of attorneys who dare to deviate from the current political orthodoxy. Bar reviewers are part of a ruling class structure that enforces ABSOLUTE CONTROL, not 99% control, absolute 100% control. The State, like a corporation, has executuve executive officers and a Board of Directors that set policy with absolute control over memberships to their ‘government club’ and .....

You ain’t part of it.

Is there a less kind word that means more-or-less the same thing?

“Yes-men” bowing to the suits instead of their own judgement.

Hard to become a doctor without being a yes man most of your life. Not being critical, just analytical.

I’m also in WA. A close friend is a partner in a local law firm. The largest portion of new clients are folks fighting the mandate and there has been some success with that.

This friend also has stocked up on IVM as a precaution. They had a prescription from a local Dr which Walgreens refused to fill, so they had to go out of state.

per Dr. Kardis, Ivermectin IS on the list of meds that can be used for covid, so this ruling is absolutely WRONG.
