Texas State Sen. Bob Hall cites a Nebraska AG opinion as a reason for promoting widespread use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in early intervention.State Sen. Bob Hall is doubling down on his support for doctors and patients using off-label treatments to fight COVID.
In response to a query by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Nebraska Attorney General Douglas Peterson issued an opinion on the use of off-label hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in early intervention for COVID-19 cases. Peterson found that “the available data does not justify filing disciplinary actions against physicians simply because they prescribe ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to prevent or treat COVID-19.”
Physicians across the country have been threatened with charges for utilizing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in the early treatment and prevention of COVID-19.
