The story below suggests you don't know what you are talking about, both about prescribing off-label use of drugs in Canada, or about the legal ways around authoritarian rules governing doctors' treatments.
The regulatory authorites were able to ban a doctor from prescribing ivermectin to patients but he got around it with a different legal means of giving the drug to patients. Clearly the same was occurring in the states because thousands were getting ivermectin from doctors.
Also note that scientific studies have proven the antiviral activity of Ivermectin against a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses, for example, dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and others so doctors giving it to covid patients has a scientific rationale. You may know that Covid is a RNA virus.
COVID-19: Ontario doctor banned from prescribing ivermectin now director of company offering drug

WATCH: Ontario doctor banned from prescribing ivermectin now director of company offering drug – Jan 27, 2022
An Ontario doctor prohibited from prescribing ivermectin to treat COVID-19 has launched a telehealth service offering the unapproved treatment to Ontarians to treat the virus, Global News can reveal.
 Dr Patrick Phillips, a family doctor who is the subject of several investigations by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), is the director of a new telehealth service based in Ontario that is offering ivermectin, an antiparasitic treatment not approved by Health Canada to treat COVID-19.
The service, called Canadian Covid TeleHealth Inc (CCTH), was launched by members of the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA), a website promoting information at odds with public health advice, which also features new initiatives from at least two other Ontario health professionals with COVID-related licence restrictions.
But Phillips’ involvement, as well as the existence of the service, is not breaking any provincial laws.
It comes as the regulatory body and province spar about how to deal with physicians operating in a medical grey area. Both the CPSO and Ministry of Health say investigating a company, such as the CCTH, is not their responsibility.
The CPSO says it has been asking the ministry for legislative changes to help it deal with complaints about doctors since 2019.
Meanwhile, the doctors at the centre of the investigations are launching new ventures in order to share unverified health information and administer unproven COVID-19 treatments, which escape the reach of the province.
Telehealth service launched this week
Global News recently detailed the emergence of the CCCA, a self-described group of “Canadian doctors, scientists and health care practitioners committed to providing independent science-based evidence to empower Canadians.”
The website does not identify the doctors affiliated with the service.
But the CCCA’s listed address on their Corporations Canada page matches that of Toronto physician Ira Bernstein. Bernstein has spoken in videos about being the founder of the CCCA, treating patients with ivermectin and his intention to launch a telehealth service.
That telehealth service has now launched.

On Wednesday, a newsletter was sent to CCCA subscribers announcing that the Canadian Covid TeleHealth Inc, a COVID-19 treatment and prevention service, was open for patient registrations. |
