Of course it is. As one of 50 Dem senators, he has power - and he knows it and loves to try and flex his muscles with it. If he became a Repuke, he would be 1 of 51. No power at all there. What could they possibly offer him that would be worth it in the long term, that they couldn’t pull a Lucy football trick on later. No, he’s going to hang around.

These idiots are driving up the cost of animal rescue (and forcing hospitals into crisis standards of care while they’re at it).

The foremost Trump era expert on COVID was a radiologist who looked good in a suit.

Not discounting it, but it’s more fun to take his statements at face value. However, it’s become an article of faith with these people: get the covid, take the horse paste. What’s a vaccinated man to do? Why, complain about how he can’t administer the wormkiller to those who did catch the covid.

Out on a limb here…people that took the time to become medical professionals generally adhere to the principals and protocols that were part of a curriculum that took years and significant financial resources to complete…that they wouldendorse quackery or unsubstantiated remedies is tough to rationalize.

They tend to be MDs who failed at every other specialty.
He needs to have his medical license revoked for this display of overt idiocy.

If a pharmacist sees an ivermectin prescription from an infectious disease specialist, he should report it to the state medical board. If it’s from an anesthesiologist, yeah, I would just trash it.

It’s important to note that India is not supporting this anymore, they have dropped ivermectin from the recommended treatments because it has been shown to be useless. Trying anything in a clinical trial is a good idea in the midst of a pandemic…taking stuff because some website tells you is a stupid idea, especially when it’s medicine mostly used to deworm farm animals. I guess we shouldn’t complain about them giving massive diarrhea to their supporters, maybe some of them will realize the discomfort comes form conservatives being full of shit about this.

It’s likely that pharmacists wouldn’t provide the med because they didn’t have it in stock. A lot of docs are prescribing it because a lot of their patients are asking for it, and when it is given in the right dosage it is a safe medication. Is it affective against COVID? The jury is still out on that because studies done so far have been underfunded and have not been good enough for a definitive answer. For some strange reason this is another example of medical practice becoming politicized. We are liberals so we are supposed to think Ivermectin is just a horse de-wormer, when it is clearly also a valid medication for humans.
Ivermectin is an FDA approved drug for use in humans to treat a variety of parasitic infections including parasitic worms, hookworm and whipworm. It may also be used to treat other conditions and as a treatment of onchocerciasis, intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis or river blindness.Sep 16, 2021

Well, to the extent that not wanting your back stabbed can actually be considered a principle, yeah.

Maybe the definitive answer on Ivermectin isn’t in, but the extant evidence is pretty clear that Ivermectin doesn’t work. Given that there are better medicines out there, prescribing Ivermectin is wrong.

Just as long as the conscience, morals, ethics agree with their views. I remember Scalia suggesting that the law would be “reasonable” when people suggested his ruling in support of hospitals and doctors refusing women treatment because of their beliefs (such as not removing an ectopic pregnancy) would not extend to Jehovah’s witnesses on ambulance crews or hospitals.
