>> However the drug cannot be marketed for an off-label use. (This is the situation in Canada, U.S. may be different). <<

No, it's the same there, not that that will stop anyone from whining about the unfairness of it all.

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.

This anti government covid stuff is getting legs and going against those governments and advocates that agree with the lockdowns and forced covid vaccines on the rest of us. This could affect people like you that advocated such practices.


Not sure I would want to be saying government did the right thing back then, right now.

Sen. Ron Johnson Says Pandemic "Preplanned By An Elite Group Of People" Who Conducted "Event 201"

BY TYLER DURDEN

SUNDAY, AUG 13, 2023 - 03:15 PM

And now, better late than never, a US politician recognizes that all may not have been what it seemed with the pandemic - and its tyrannical response.

Senator Ron Johnson on Friday told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that Covid-19, and its response, were "preplanned by an elite group of people" who conducted "Event 201" - a joint exercise conducted by John Hopkins, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum - which envisioned the spread of a coronavirus pandemic in South America which included over 65 million deaths worldwide.

The simulation concluded that national governments are nowhere near ready for a pandemic.

"We are going down a very dangerous path, but it is a path that is being laid out and planned by an elite group of people that want to take total control over our lives, and that's what they are doing, bit by bit," said Johnson, who sits on the Senate Homeland Security Committee and is a ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

To which Bartiromo responded: "It is just extraordinary to me that the government was working with social media to amplify lies and suppress truth and has been doing so repeatedly. We just saw the Facebook story, the Twitter files, all of the all the way, government officials from the CDC, FBI, you know CIA, a thousand people according to the reporters working on the Twitter files, worked with social media to amplify lies and suppress truth.

Why couldn't the American people know that, you know, there were other alternatives to treat Covid why can't American people know there were side effects with the vaccine?

Johnson then said: "This is all preplanned by an elite group of people, that is what I am talking about, Event 201 occurred in late 2019, prior to the rest of us knowing about the pandemic. Again -- this is very concerning in terms of what is happening, what continues to be planned for our loss of freedom," adding " It needs to be exposed but unfortunately, very few people even in Congress are willing to take a look at this. They all pushed the vaccine, they don't want to be made aware of the fact that vaccines might have caused injuries or death, so many people simply just don't want to admit they were wrong and they're going to do everything they can to make sure they're not proven wrong."

"We are up against a very powerful group of people here, Maria."
