Christ, the AMA should pull his license and the families of those inmates should sue him for malpractice.

From his cited criteria:

Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures. However, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggest that achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in vitro would require administration of doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for use in humans. Even though ivermectin appears to accumulate in the lung tissue, predicted systemic plasma and lung tissue concentrations are much lower than 2 ”M, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Subcutaneous administration of ivermectin 400 ”g/kg had no effect on SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in hamsters.

Guess the NIH needed better hamsters. “Doc” Karas has a bunch a human size hamsters to work with, apparently.

If they revoke his license, Rand Paul will be happy to certify him.

I talked to my brother from another mother last night, and his wife has clients that are taking it, they have friends and family members that are taking it, and yeah they say it works. So, basically we are living with talking livestock, but at least they don’t have worms.

Edit to add clarity that it’s not my friend and his wife taking it or saying it works, but it’s the lunatics in their community. I think we ended the call agreeing that we are all going to die because if morons.

This guy is claiming success with the drug. I want to know who first started using the deworming drug to treat Covid and why they persist in claiming it works as a treatment.

F**king GOP Arkansas hicks. They won’t/wouldn’t get vaccinated because it wasn’t FDA approved but they’ll prescribe " veterinary-grade Ivermectin"?

It’s amazing that Republicans aren’t routinely killed by Ivermectin. Many of them are worms. Starting with Ron Johnson.

I went to the Karas Health Care web site. I didn’t see anything out of place. The information on COVID seemed correct including discussions on the vaccines.

The Facebook page didn’t show anything unusual, but I may not have gone far enough.

What I did see on the web site were a lot of professional employees, doctors and down, under that company that are now associated with this doctor. I can’t believe they all back his usage of Ivermectin in this way. This doctor is putting their careers at stake right along with the lives he is experimenting on.

I ended up wondering if this Doctor had a character changing stroke or such.
