I am pleased to announce that I will be introducing legislation to allow ivermectin, a proven antiparasitic medication, to be sold over the counter (OTC) in Pennsylvania. This important proposal aims to enhance access to this safe and effective treatment for various parasitic conditions, empowering residents to manage their health more efficiently.
Ivermectin is an FDA-approved medication primarily used for treating infections such as river blindness, strongyloidiasis, scabies, and lice. With a long history of safe use, this legislation is designed to have a positive impact on public health, especially in underserved and rural communities.
Key benefits of this proposal include:
Increasing Access to Critical Medication: Residents will have faster access to ivermectin, reducing wait times and lessening dependency on healthcare providers for conditions that do not require extensive consultation. This is particularly beneficial for those in rural areas facing healthcare barriers.
Proven Safety and Effectiveness: Ivermectin has been extensively studied and shown to have minimal side effects when used as directed, making its topical formulations safe and easy to apply.
Supporting Public Health: Allowing OTC access could help control the spread of parasitic diseases like scabies, while also reducing the burden on healthcare systems by decreasing unnecessary emergency visits for manageable conditions.
Encouraging Health Autonomy: By removing the prescription requirement, individuals can take charge of their health regarding preventative care for minor conditions. Pennsylvania joins a growing movement, with states like Tennessee already passing similar legislation and others considering it. Countries including South Africa, Australia, and Mexico have successfully implemented OTC access to ivermectin as well.
It is time for Pennsylvania to make this necessary change. With proven efficacy and a strong safety record, enabling over-the-counter access to ivermectin will significantly benefit our communities.
Note: Ivermectin used to be OTC in France, but was made prescription-only in early January 2020, before covid was widely known about. This is one of many suspicious details surrounding and presaging the plandemic. Removing an easy cure just before the plandemic was declared, looks very much like a setup for the vax as bioweapon. Some months after that, ivermectin was resolutely banned in the West, excoriated and mocked, y’all. Looking back on those days and those deadly, absurd policies, it is hard to believe covid itself plus the vaxxes, plus the forced hospitalizations and lethal treatments were not sinister acts of war against the people of the West (in particular). Others also suffered but the main target was clearly the West. ABN
