SD Senate inoculates South Dakota against prescribing horse dewormer as COVID Cure

Looks like science wins again, as the the South Dakota State Senate rejects State Representative Phil Jensen’s bill to allow off label use of the horse dewormer invermectin in the treatment of COVID:

Mmm.. Apple flavored.

Ivermectin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription medication used to treat certain infections caused by internal and external parasites. There’s also veterinary formulations of ivermectin, sometimes available over the counter, to be used as a de-wormer for dogs, cats, horses, cows and pigs.

Rep. Phil Jensen (R-Rapid City) was the bill’s prime sponsor. He said the bill was not a mandate and turned testimony over to a number of doctors testifying remotely as well as a few South Dakotans touting the use of ivermectin to combat COVID-19.

and..

The South Dakota State Medical Association spoke against it and lobbyist Justin Bell said people with authority to prescribe drugs can already prescribe ivermectin. He said under the bill, a veterinarian could give a prescription to humans.

  1. The same CDC that told us that masks are good, but then they aren’t then withheld critical “vaccine” data?

    The same FDA that approved the dangerous MRNA emergency use authorization for the PCR tests, then revoked that?

    Embarrassing .. but the techniques being used to control behavior right now are beyond military grade.

    Looks like you’re under the spell, too.

    1. Just don’t try to post anything that shows it being effective from a government site. It will be put in moderation and wind up gone. Too bad we have censors here that will keep contrarian information out of his blog. But it is his blog, so it is allowed.

  2. Ivermectin is already available by prescription.
    Doctors are already allowed to prescribe drugs for off-label use.

    The reason doctors are not prescribing it for Covid is because they don’t want to. Get it? THEY DON’T WANT TO.

    The bill does absolutely nothing except embarrass the state.

    1. Hey, your hypothesis is sound, and unflawed! Say I go into a clinic, and tell the doctor that I am really sad. BUT – if I was prescribed Skyrizi (randomly picked ad for a drug that popped up on my tv), that would cure my problem! But, bloody hell – they say no BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO!!! After much protesting, the doc still says no, and I stomp my feet and say I have rights or something… I demand, “GIVE ME MY SKYRIZI.” Again they still say no. Its a conspiracy. THEY DONT WANT TO!!! WHY? I read stuff on Facebook!

      Let the doctors do their job. If disagree with their diagnosis and treatment plan that requires Ivermectin, go to your local runnings and grab a tube of paste – and good luck to you. You are not forced to go to the hospital. Take that crap at home, and let the professionals do their job.

  3. Hey, can Phil just go back to selling pots and pans and stay out of medicine and politics. Or maybe sponsor legislation for ‘justifiable homicide’ for doctors who don’t prescribe horse dewormer for humans.

  4. Here is Kevin’s testimony. Kevin had some religious epiphany while undergoing his struggles with Covid that might turn folks off, but in reality according to his testimony Kevin’s medical bills prove that anyone from the hospitals claiming the hospitals aren’t making a lot of money from certain Covid treatments is not telling the truth.

    1. whether the hospitals are making money is totally beside the point.
      Doctors are currently not prescribing Ivermectin for one simple reason: THEY DON’T WANT TO.

      What they tell their patients when they are asked for prescriptions may vary from a simple “no” to “I can’t,” but it’s the same reason, they don’t want to.

      Unless Phil introduces a bill requiring doctors to prescribe it when asked to (a really bad idea, there, but when did that stop anybody? ) nothing is going to change.

      1. Because it doesn’t work for covid at the normal dose. Why would real doctors listen to the facebook doctor crowd like John Dale?

        1. Actually, a study published by the government in June of 2021 says the “I” word with moderate certainty large reductions in deaths are prevented and early use often reduces chances of progressing to more severe disease. I would post the link and excerpts, but somebody will disappear it.

            1. Oookaaay? I always find it interesting how studies contrary to your views are “debunked”. So did a government agency debunk it’s own study?

    2. Here is Jeff. Jeff knows Kevin and is terribly upset about Kevin’s recent schizophrenia diagnosis.

      No evidence John Dale strikes again.

  5. Hey Dale, if you’re so sure the medical profession is out to make money on the COVID pandemic, get the FREE vaccines and boosters and show those professionals, who are busting their behinds to best keep mostly unvaccinated people from dying from COVID. Obviously you graduated with honors from undergraduate school, continued on to 4 years of medical school, continued on for 3-7 years of residency and fellowship to truly understand how medications work. An Medical Doctor’s education is grueling and real, certainly not off Facebook, YouTube or a conspiracy theorist.
