Lawmakers’ plan would let patients buy despite FDA warnings

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has posted pages of detailed information online about “Why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.”
The federal agency insists it’s dangerous, even though it’s been prescribed for years for various parasitic ailments, and the FDA warns overdosing on it can cause “nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death.”
That’s even though Dr. Theresa Lawrie, a U.K. medical doctor and research analyst who founded the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development initiative (BiRD International) suggested it has significant benefits against contracting, or dying from, COVID-19.
Now, a report confirms officials in one state are trying to make it easier for consumers to obtain, even though the FDA stands by its dire warnings.
The report said lawmakers in New Hampshire are working on legislation that would give consumers access to the treatment through ordinary procedures at a pharmacy.
House Bill 1022 would allow pharmacists to dispense the drug by means of standing orders, the report said.
Newsweek said the plan is to let pharmacists dispense the treatment under the “delegated prescriptive authority of the physician” and more.
The report noted, “The pharmacist would also be required to provide any patients who receive ivermectin with a ‘standardized information sheet written in plain language’ that provides health care referral information and notes the importance of follow-up care.”
And the lawmakers are proposing that, “Nothing on the information sheet shall discourage the recipient from using ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.”
Newsweek noted, “Republican State Rep. Leah Cushman, a sponsor of the bill and registered nurse, told Newsweek that she wanted to make sure residents of the state ‘have options for treatment of COVID-19.’ She also said that the burden of the virus on hospitals needs to be curbed, ‘and right now there are no early treatments being offered by most doctors.'”
A commentary at the Gateway Pundit noted under the law ivermectin sold to consumers to use against COVID-19 would be “regarded as being issued for a legitimate medical purpose in the usual course of professional practice.”
After the 9-6 party-line vote there, Sen. Louise Lucas banged her gavel and ordered police officers to remove the doctors, family members of COVID patients and others who came to speak in favor of the bill.
The sponsor of that plan, Republican state Sen. Amanda Chase, told National File that Democrats “will legalize marijuana but prohibit the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID in a right to try state like Virginia.”
“If Virginians are going to be given the right to try marijuana, then give them the right to try life-saving ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine,” she said.
The National File noted that after the vote, the committee chairman, Lucas, posted a video on Twitter in which she vowed to form a Democratic “brick wall” that will throw Republican bills in the trash. She illustrated her declaration by crumpling up a piece of paper and tossing it aside.
Ivermectin, in more than 30 trials around the world, causes “repeated, consistent, large magnitude improvements in clinical outcomes’ at all stages of the disease,” according to the report.

What the hell does this have to do with Clark County? Since when did Clark County Today just become a clearinghouse for pseudoscience and fringe conspiracies?
The WHO recommends HCQ and IVM to combat parasites in sub-Saharan Africa. Last I checked Africa is doing much better than the US on Covid deaths, even with their low vax rate. Correlation, but still. They are doing something right (and it’s not vaccines).
Dr Lawrie. Specialises in reproductive health and is a nobody. Even the big pharma that make the drug say there is no evidence that it makes any difference
I have seen ivermectin work with many people around me who have had Covid including myself. It won a Nobel peace prize and is very safe and very effective. Do your research and quit listening to fake news.
Idk if Ivermectin works or not but I sure don’t understand why the democrats care if people try it? I’m not an antivaxer & have my COVID vaccine but their philosophy seems to be if Dems like it you have to do it. (Vaccine) if Dems don’t like it you absolutely CANNOT do it. (Ivermectin) without being far right & throwing in conspiracy theories can someone shed some light on this? With common sense please:)
Nice try, NH- but it’s too little, too late.
The most massively over-hyped ‘pandemic’ in history is epidemiologically almost over.
But the Propaganda Pandemic of eternal autocratic faux-Emergency remains.
Only catatonic droolers take medical advice from scientifically illiterate, senile, feeble-minded geriatric patients like Biden, Joni Mitchell, or Neil Young(Old Man, look at your mind, it’s a lot like soup duJour).

Ivermectin WORKS as prophylactic and early treatment; yes-even Horse Paste works for humans(it is pharmacologically IDENTICAL to the prescription Ivermectin in pill form). Anyone who tells you otherwise is LYING and not to be trusted about anything at all. HCQ, Fluvoxamine, Zinc, D3, C, Quercetin have all been clinically proven effective against SARS-Cov2.
The mRNA and Adenovirus DNA experimental drugs have utterly FAILED to do anything but injure and KILL healthy people, including many pro athletes. They are NOT vaccines- Do Not Comply and, most important-Do Not let any SOB try to ‘vaXX’ your kids !
