Recall the GOP has a pattern of this particular kind of bullshit, like passing laws telling doctors they can't ask about guns in the home.

The party of limited government, the party of free speech.

It appears the Missouri House and Senate have passed a gag rule forbidding pharmacists from proactively questioning the efficacy of ivermectin treatment for anything. https://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills221/hlrbillspdf/4028H.06S.pdf h/t

1. For folks that cry "free speech" when they

get kicked off Twitter, the GrOPers sure do like limiting everyone’s free speech.

2. repug traitors do not believe in freedom when they have attacked masks

they only care about destroying the current American way of life.

3. A little odd... but is this even needed even if we imagine that ivermectin is useful?

Do pharmacists generally have a role to question the drugs that physicians prescribe?

4. Is it a prescribed med or available OTC?

Asking seriously. I don't know. Thanks.

5. It's prescribed

Unless you go out and buy the livestock version from a farm supply store.

The law basically says that the pharmacist can't call up the doctor and say "are you crazy??"

6. Why a law telling doctors they can't ask about guns in the home?

As far as I am aware, it isn’t illegal to lie to the doctor and say “no, I don’t own any”, in order to keep one’s gun ownership from prying eyes.
