[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Physician Dr Rob Karas who works at the jail in Washington County, Arkansas, has been using the anti-parasite drug ivermectin to treat inmates with Covid-19
- Dr Karas also prescribed ivermectin to an anonymous county official even though he tested negative for the virus
- Despite FDA warnings the drug is also sold out across Oklahoma and there have been 10 poison calls related to ivermectin since May
- Diarrhea and vomiting are two more common, minor side effects out of many a person who takes ivermectin could experience
Madison said Karas confirmed on Tuesday that he was treating jail detainees with ivermectin and said he was taking it himself and giving it to family members.
The [Washington] Post viewed screenshots of Karas’s since-deleted Facebook posts in which he touts the use of ivermectin and indicates that more than 350 people at the jail had been given the drug, allegedly to no ill effect.
The employee, who spoke to The Post Wednesday on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said they received eight prescriptions, including zinc, vitamin D and ivermectin, despite receiving a negative rapid test.
