Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said researchers won't study ivermectin because of their "hatred for Trump."
Paul said he was "in the middle" on whether ivermectin should be used and wanted more research done.
The FDA and CDC are asking people to avoid the drug, which is used to deworm horses and cows.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said researchers won't study the toxic livestock-deworming drug ivermectin as a potential COVID treatment because of their dislike for former President Donald Trump.
The Cincinnati Enquirer first reported on the remarks Paul made at a town hall event for 60 people held at the Cold Spring City Council chambers on August 27.
"The hatred for Trump deranged these people so much that they're unwilling to objectively study it," Paul said, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. "So someone like me that's in the middle on it, I can't tell you because they will not study ivermectin. They will not study hydroxychloroquine without the taint of their hatred for Donald Trump."...........
