May the Senate use logic & follow suit!

I take a med off label with no issues (Colchine/Colcrys which is “labeled for gout) for vasculitis. I tried using that logic to get prescriptions for HCQ &/or IVM to no avail - initially. Finally found a patriot doctor who provided such. My husband & I have taken HCQ once a week for over 2 months yrs. - no covid. Classified as elderly here😉

In many countries IVM is OTC as it should be here. In Tennessee it is; THAT is what I call “progressive.”

I have a friend who has been taking HCQ for at least 5 years for her RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. Nope, never got the shots nor the virus. But this is Florida, land of the free.

FL is not very free on HCQ and IVM and such, where OH and TN are leading the way. You also can't grow your own 420 in FL.

I didn’t have any trouble getting IVM in early 2022 at my pharmacy. I had to pay for it so it wasn’t “free” if that’s what you’re referring to. Not all pharmacies were as cooperative but I use a small family-owned pharm. They were having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

My small town pharmacy had patronized for years wouldn’t allow people not already on it regularly get any. “Saving it for them”

Tho a friend’s pharmacist told her there’s was no shortage bc it’s put out by sooooo many companies. And relatively inexpensive.

So if folks could get well using cheap meds... no need for Paxlovid, etc. OR “vaccines” either.

Exactly. But you had to use common sense which seemed to be lacking during those times!

The Nation’s Governor is a Uniparty mirage.

He’s becoming a paradox, for sure. Puzzling.

Once you see the strings on the puppet, you cannot unsee them. This particular operation from the Uniparty had ensnared quite a few people I know and they are struggling to deal with it. They Still think this is some head fake and RDS and DJT are secretly working together and any day now, they’ll join up to save us all.

That’s what a lot of the back channels have been eluding to. And it tends to be a plausible scheme given how he sidled up to Trump every moment he got during his own campaign. (I remember saying how he was learning from Trump.) But we know Trump values loyalty and seeing Ron squander that loyalty is foolhardy. I think the “harsh” statement is a point of strategy for T. Until or when all legal abortion is banned - I’m for that - there are those who will take that option. A stark worldly reality is that until God opens the hearts and minds of all people, it will continue to be law. Individual salvation is the bottom line. And, Ron is risking the dictatorial stance of “forcing” people into his beliefs. RoeVWade is gone. One step at a time.

I heard that in TN that you still can’t get IVM; the pharmacies get around the “must supply” rule by being permanently out of stock. Anyone here in TN able to confirm?

Corporate pharmacies aren’t kosher; try independent ones

My friend lives in TN and she went yo a Walgreens and they wouldn’t give it saying it doesn’t work. She then went to a real pharmacy and got it.

I went to the CVS in Maryville, TN back in March. They refused to sell me IVM. I spoke with the pharmacist there and he refused me without a prescription.

I think I saw that New Hampshire also offers it OTC
