I wasn’t aware of that. Agreed, absolutely despicable.
Indigenous Australians in Covid-hit Wilcannia targeted by ivermectin spruiker, The Guardian.
It was particularly sleazy that they intended to direct market Ivermectin to residents after community leaders and medical practitioners gave them a firm no.
I’d like to think this low act was what forced the TGA to act, but in the main it seems it was to stop runs on Ivermectin which is needed by sufferers of scabies, Ross River Fever and the like.
I wonder why there aren’t tighter controls over the Telehealth system. Surely it wouldn’t take much to figure out that a conspiracy theorist with a stethoscope had become the go-to guy for stuff like Ivermectin. And the health practitioners’ regulators should intervene much more.
