I keep dipping into this well, but it’s entirely appropriate because of the ObamaCare-Era mantra of the medical socialists. The government will not come between you and your doctors. It was bullish!t then, and it is indefensible now.
Circa 2009-2010 and beyond the suggestion was conspiracy theory but as with all such proclamations from the media and their political homonculi (or do I have that reversed), what is branded as a conspiracy is increasingly fact.
It’s a red flag, and there’s more of them waving around these days than at a parade in China – which is also a suitable authoritarian parallel. States find the need to write laws to pry the government out from between patients and doctors.
PIERRE, South Dakota (LifeSiteNews) – South Dakota lawmakers advanced a bill this week affirming that doctors can legally prescribe ivermectin, as Republican-led states across the country move to expand access to the increasingly popular COVID-19 treatment.
The South Dakota House passed HB 1267 in a 40-28 vote on Monday. The bill states a physician may “prescribe ivermectin to a person” in accordance with medical standards.
The fact that states even need to go this route is a sad statement on liberty and freedom in America. Ivermectin is a safe, decades-old drug made for people that have proven to be useful in preventing severe covid complications needs a special law so doctors can prescribe it and pharmacists can fill it – without fear of government intimidation.
New Hampshire House Bill 1022 (HB1022) is like the original South Dakota bill. It provides for the use of standing orders allowing purchase without a prescription. It is one of several health-freedom bills in the legislature, each the product of the response to the government’s response to COVID-19. A disastrous failure at socializing public health in the hands of a few so-called experts whose solutions caused more problems.
Problems that will manifest over years, probably beyond the political shelf-life of those responsible.
Legislatures have responded, well – some have, with measures to protect citizens from these abuses moving forward. Moves that Democrats and many Republicans are labeling as dangerous.
Freedom was always dangerous but much less so than the sort of government that wants to force you to allow them to inject you and your children with experimental drugs.
Yes, they are still experimental. If they were approved, recipients could sue the crap out of every in the demand and supply chain, and even they know what that would look like.
As for our part, we need to support medical and health freedom, even if you wanted the jab or approved of the political interventions. This is not the sort of power you give to a small group of people in your government. Ever. But that’s what they want and quite often what’s been done.
Kudos to South Dakota and New Hampshire for trying to erect protections until such time as they have the numbers to claw that power back.
