Nebraska saves the day — a comment about COVID-19, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, federalism and Truth

Big Pharma's plot to squash cheap generic drug use in COVID treatment . . .

 

. . . took a solid (48 page) hit from the US state of Nebraska this week.

 

That punch to the mouth — which was delivered by what the reigning American Establishment would consider to be a 'bunch of hicks' — demonstrates the value of American federalism and unapologetic legal scholarship.

 

 

Federalism, ain't it grand?

 

On 16 September 2021, Dannette Smith — chief of Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services — asked the state's Attorney General (Doug Peterson) for an opinion regarding whether medical providers could lawfully prescribe 'off label' pharmaceuticals in the treatment of COVID-19.

 

See:

 

 

Douglas J. Peterson, Prescription of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine as Off-Label Medicines for the Prevention or Treatment of Covid-19, State of Nebraska: Office of the Attorney General, Number 21-017 (14 October 2021) (at page 1)

 

 

Notice a couple of things

 

First, Dannette Smith had to get the ball rolling by asking the state attorney general for help in dissecting a potential problem — thanks to the COVID treatment obfuscation that public health agencies have been spewing — regarding how she should do her job.

 

Second, AG Peterson did not run from undertaking something that many equivalent heads of a state executive department might have avoided. He had his staff examine the current state of existing medical investigation and applicable law.

 

 

An aside about the quality of 'elite' legal scholarship

 

By way of prefacing this section, I have had substantial educational and occupational experiences sprinkled among physical sciences, medicine and law.

 

On that foundation, I make the following observation:

 

 

No research discipline better exemplifies the proper application of evidence-sourcing than that displayed by law journals and (occasionally) legal memoranda generated by state attorney generals' offices.

 

If you want to experience arguably sacrosanct scholarship, go there.

 

 

Those are the last bastions guarding against the propagandized Corruption of Truth that has swept the United States and much of the world.

 

 

And so . . .

 

. . . in a properly researched opposition to Big Pharma and Government's grip on spreading lies, Nebraska's attorney general (and his crew) hurdled toward metaphorical light.

 

Their above-cited legal opinion is the most comprehensive and best-written and organized (lay-understandable) overview of the role of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 prevention and therapeutics that I have come across. (I have read quite a number of the sources that their opinion cited.)

 

Reading Peterson's properly documented legal opinion, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine skeptics might be surprised to find what an intentionally crafted Bubble of Ignorance they have been living in.

 

In my experience, placing trust in World and American medical establishments — and basing one's uninvestigated professional opinions thereon — is a grave and arguably murderous intellectual mistake.

 

See, for example, physician Pierre Kory's disillusioned (now angry) perspective, here.

 

The string of medical research citations that the Nebraska attorney general points to — makes it abundantly clear that one cannot rule ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine out as therapeutically useful in COVID's context.

 

Those of us, who have been reading the cited papers, know that the World Health Organization and American public health authorities have been — almost certainly intentionally — lying to the public.

 

The Nebraska legal opinion ventures an insight as to why this might be so. See its page 29.

 

 

The moral? — Courageously displayed federalism can guard against mindless fads and herd mentalities

 

Investigatively minded people — who retain genuine respect for properly investigated reality — are the ramparts that can save us from being manipulated by the maggoty claws of the self-seeking, self-aggrandizing Puppets of Avarice.
