HB1022 would allow the dispensing of Ivermectin by use of a standing order. If you wanted it, you could get it without a prescription after a brief discussion with the pharmacist.
Please scroll down for updates.
Ivermectin is a COVID killer, and by that, I mean policy as much as pathogen. Nothing is perfect, but Ivermectin is better than anything the “experts” have proposed, cheaper, and no trillion-dollar bailouts or backroom deals are needed for it “to work.”
That’s why they hate it.
We’ve got great coverage on NH’s HB1022 back story. We’ve published testimony, interviewed a prime sponsor, and added plenty of commentary. You might even stumble over a few digs about Horse Paste, which go deeper after Democrats on social media announced this week that Misoprostol (horse ulcer medicine) could be used to induce abortion medically.
HB1022 passed the NH Senate along party lines, 14-10, with Democrats objecting to the “my body, my choice argument.” Given the timing, it doesn’t play as well as it might any other week of the year. But then, the only body involved when taking Ivermectin is yours unless you are pregnant, and Ivermectin is a lot safer than the “Dems want it to be mandatory” mRNA vaccines.
As for Governor Sununu (Snoonoo), I’ve no clue where his “big shoulders” stand or sit or lean on this one. The only barometer is that as the prospect of running for reelection approached, mandates and the “essential this or that policies” were shown the door at the state level. But the ‘Snoo’ was all-in on the tyranny when it was in vogue with the ruling elite. He even abrogated the First and Fourth Amendments to the US Constitution (to name two) because we were “all in this together™.”
This is something he can sign if his dad says it’s okay.
*Update: I missed the Senate amendment – the Bill needs to head back to the house (where it passed 189-153 the first time) before reaching the governor’s desk
Parents’ Bill of rights
The other bill (there are more but let’s not get carried away) is HB1431, which is the Parent’s Bill of Rights. The Senate Amended it, so it will need to go back to the House, but that’s more technicality.
Declaration of Purpose. The general court finds that it is a fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children. The general court further finds that important information relating to a minor child should not be withheld, either inadvertently or purposefully, from his or her parent, including information relating to the minor’s education.
…
Parents are to be involved and informed and are the Alpha and Omega of their child’s development and existence. They belong to parents not teachers, schools, or Ed unions.
Infringement of Parental Rights Prohibited. The state, any of its political subdivisions, including, without limitation, any school board, school district, or school administrative unit, any other governmental entity shall not infringe on the fundamental rights of a parent to direct the upbringing and education of his or her minor child without demonstrating that such action is reasonable and necessary to achieve a compelling state interest and that such action is narrowly tailored and cannot be achieved by less restrictive means.
The parental bill of rights does not protect child abuse or illegal activity, but the rights afforded (which are many) have teeth. If the district or board fails to address concerns covered in the Parental Bill of Rights, the parents can sue and recover attorneys’ fees for their trouble.
Districts, like municipalities, rely on the taxpayer’s pockets to leverage the system in their favor. People with legitimate gripes might not choose to try court, knowing the costs. If the case is strong, schools will lose lawsuits left and right, plus the cost of opposing attorneys’ fees. Taxpayers might decide to make some changes.
Would the governor sign it? It’s hard to say. Snoonoo appears as all-in on the gender stuff as he is on abortion, but most folks are not, and as I noted earlier, there is an election looming.
Update: Governor Sununu Vetoed HB1022 [Ivermectin bill]. The veto was sustained in a House vote that failed to overturn it with a two-thirds majority.
Update: HB1431 Died in the House when it failed to pass the Committee of Conference reconciliation version between the House and Senate.
