A package of bills introduced by Republicans in the Wisconsin state legislature would block punishing doctors from punishing doctors for prescribing the MAGA Cinematic Universe fan-favorite fake treatments for coronavirus, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, as well as forcing pharmacies to fill prescriptions for either, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Doctors and other health professionals in the state are not pleased with the batshittery and wish it would stop. “As the state’s largest physician organization, we very carefully listen to our members to make sure there’s no undue interference with a physician providing appropriate care for their patients,” said Medical Society of Wisconsin board chairman Dr Jerry Halverson, adding “So rather than potentially harming our state’s high quality health care system, we ask our government policymakers to help physicians and their health care teams: encourage vaccinations, promote smart behaviors and help us emerge from this pandemic as soon as possible.”
Republicans pushing the bill circulated a memo hinting that – surprise! – there’s some kind of conspiracy to suppress the two fake treatments. “Many continue to speculate as to the exact reasons why the efforts of these health care professionals have been actively suppressed by those who have assumed the responsibility of dictating the response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said a “Dear Colleague” letter signed by eight GOP state lawmakers. “Regardless of the forces behind this troubling trend, (the legislation) seeks to reverse the unprecedented level of interference with the physician-patient relationship that has been witnessed over the past two years, whether it pertains to the treatment of COVID-19 or other diseases.” Democrats would do well to inform them that another “effective” treatment is available and no prescription is required to drink one’s own piss.
