A bill working its way through the New Hampshire legislature would
allow residents to receive ivermectin from pharmacies with a
prescription of a doctor or an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
(APRN) for the off-label treatment of Covid-19.

House Bill 2011 would allow pharmacists to "dispense ivermectin under
the delegated prescriptive authority of the physician or APRN
(Advanced Practice Registered Nurses), specify a mechanism to document
screening performed and the prescription in the patient's medical
record, and include a plan for evaluating and treating adverse
events," reads the bill. "Any such prescription shall be regarded as
being issued for a legitimate medical purpose in the usual course of
professional practice."

Ivermectin, a protease inhibitor (just like Pfizer's new Covid pill),
has come under attack ever since former President Trump suggested it
as a potential treatment for Covid-19. Shortly thereafter, a flurry of
anti-ivermectin studies came out - the majority of which analyzed
already-hospitalized patients, as opposed to its use as an early
intervention.

Indeed, ivermectin already may have saved hundreds of thousands of
lives from India to Brazil.

Co-sponsored by Rep. Leah Cushman (R), the New Hampshire bill would
require pharmacists to provide patients with a "standardized
information sheet written in plain language" that would note the
importance of follow-up care.

"Nothing on the information sheet shall discourage the recipient from
using ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19," reads the bill.

On Tuesday, a state House committee heard arguments for and against the bill.

"Ivermectin is not authorized or approved by the FDA for use in
preventing or treating COVID-19," said Steve Ahnen, president and CEO
of the New Hampshire Hospital Association.

Arguing for Ivermectin was Dr. Paul Marik with Front Line COVID-19
Critical Care Alliance, who resigned his position as Professor of
Medicine with Eastern Virginia Medical School following a reprimand
from the Virginia Board of Medicine for proscribing drugs to people
who were not his patients.

Marik has over 400 peer-reviewed journal articles and 50 book chapters
under his belt.

Some key excerpts from his testimony can be seen below via Granite Grok:

    This is not controversial. It has been made controversial by
politics and special interests.

    I’ve been practicing critical care for 35 years.

    I’ve published over 600 peer reviewed papers.

    After penicillin, this is the second most important drug ever
produced. It has saved hundreds of thousands of lives across this
planet in poor underserved countries. So, we’re just going to talk
about Ivermectin.

    It is on the WHO’s list of essential medicines.

    3.7 Billion doses have been dispensed to humans, to human beings…
not horses.

    This is a remarkable drug. It has broad spectrum anti-parasitic,
effective against a whole bunch of parasites, and as we heard, it is
very effective against RNA viruses: HIV virus, zika virus, influenza
virus, SARS-CoV-2 virus. In addition, what makes this a truly
astonishing drug, and there is no other drug like it, it is a potent
anti-inflamatory drug.

    And if anybody knows about Covid, Covid goes through stages. A
viral replicative phase to a profound inflammatory phase. That’s why
Ivermectin is unique in that it treats across the spectrum of
SARS-CoV-2.

    It’s safe and well tolerated.

    Ivermectin acts on a number of different pathways to inhibit viral
replication. This is not theoretical. This is shown in the lab and
this is shown in patients … it kills the virus. So any assumption that
it doesn’t is false propaganda.”

    You’ll see an 83% improvement in prophylaxis trials. 66%
improvement in early trials. 34% improvement in late trials. A 52%
reduction in mortality. It reduces mortality by half.

More via Granite Grok:

Dr. Marik left no stone unturned, and addressed the FDA’s propaganda
statement, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously y’all.
Stop it. You should not use Ivermectin to treat or prevent Covid-19
using the drug Ivermectin which can be dangerous and even lethal.”

    So that is an outright lie. It’s dishonest and it’s an outrage.

    As we’ll see, this is a highly effective drug, and Ivermectin has
never killed a single person. It is one of the safest drugs on this
planet.

    What is really interesting is Ivermectin is safe in 79 countries
in the world. Let me say that again… it is approved in 79 countries.

    Let’s look at Covid-19 vaccines in one year: 14 thousand deaths
and over two million serious adverse events. This does not include the
20,000 deaths in the VAERS database which is probably a tenth of all
deaths due to the vaccine. This is their data.

    So somehow the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are safe and effective, yet
Ivermectin is a dangerous horse deworming medicine. That is an
absolute outright lie. The data speaks for itself. This is not my
data. This is from the WHO.

    More people have died from Tylenol, which is an over-the-counter
medicine, than Ivermectin. As I said, it is one of the safest
medications on this planet.

Dr. Marik then compared Ivermectin to Remdesivir (the EUA drug that is
pushed on Covid patients in hospitals). There is no comparison…

    The cost of Remdesivir: $3,000 a shot. Ivermectin: pennies.

    Remdesivir increases the risk of dying by 4%. This is used
throughout the entire country as first line therapy for hospitalized
patients. It increases the risk of death by 4%, and what is most
outrageous is the federal government gives hospitals a 20% bonus on
the entire hospital bill for medicare patients if they prescribe
Remdesivir.

It is disturbing that our federal government is financially
incentivizing the use of an experimental treatment that increases the
risk of dying.

    Ivermectin reduces the risk by 50%.

    This is a cheap drug. It is exceedingly safe. It is exceedingly
effective. And patients should be offered the right to use this drug.

    If Ivermectin had been promoted at the beginning of this pandemic,
we would not be sitting here today.

Dr. Marik’s testimony (cued up below), is very convincing and well
worth the watch, as is the Q&A that took place afterwards with the
Committee Members.
