In our last episode of horse meds for people, a judge ruled that doctors had to administer horse de-wormer as an experimental treatment for COVID to a patient who may have trusted Joe Rogan more than medical doctors. On Monday, Judge Michael Oster Jr. reversed that decision, stating that “[there’s] no doubt that the medical and scientific communities do not support the use of Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19.”
In his decision, the judge had this to say:
“While the case at bar has emotion to it, the following decision will be strictly based upon the standards of law on a preliminary injunction case…As such, public policy would not favor the granting of the injunction by clear and convincing evidence.”

he continued:
“[P]ublic policy should not and does not support allowing a physician to try ‘any’ type of treatment on human beings. Rather, public policy supports the safe and effected development of medications and medical practices. A clinical trial would be one such method of a developmental process. However, a clinical trial is not at issue in this case.”
In lieu of clinical trials for non-antivirals that do the job of antivirals, I would suggest folks who would like a bit of protection from COVID and its mutations to check this out. If you can, please share this with Joe Rogan.
