POLL: What's Your Vaccination Status?

--- Quote from: mojave on November 29, 2021, 02:35:18 pm ---The Nebraska Attorney General's office issued a Opinion on October 15, 2021 called the Prescription of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine as Off-Label Medicines for the Prevention or Treatment of Covid-19. The paper discusses the history of Ivermectin and how its antiviral properties had been studied prior to COVID-19.
--- End quote ---
Douglas Peterson is a lawyer and Republican Attorney General of Nebraska. He was asked for guidance on whether charges should be brought against physicians for prescribing ivermectin. He concluded that according to Nebraska law, doctors had the right to write off-label presciptions. That is probably the right legal decision.
However, his "analysis" of the medical issues is incomplete and sometimes just plain wrong. It shows why lawyers, especially political lawyers, should not try to analyze medical issues. Doctors should leave legal issues to lawyers and lawyers should leave medicine to doctors.
By the way, he also seems to support using hydroxychoroquine for COVID-19 patients. Large scale studies have shown it is not effective against COVID 19.
