On Oct. 15, Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson issued a legal opinion that Nebraska healthcare providers can legally prescribe off-label medications like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID, so long as they obtain informed consent from the patient.
Peterson cited several studies showing ivermectin led to improvement of COVID outcomes when used in early treatment or as a prophylaxis, while noting many studies with negative findings about ivermectin "Excluded most available evidence," cherry picked data within studies, misreported data, made unsupported assertions of adverse reactions to ivermectin and had "Conclusions that did follow from evidence."
Nebraska AG calls out FDA, Fauci on hypocrisy on ivermectin.

But without reviewing the available data, which had long since been available and accumulating, it is unclear what basis the FDA had for denouncing ivermectin as a treatment or prophylaxis for COVID-19.".
Peterson said the FDA has assailed ivermectin's safety while ignoring the fact that physicians routinely prescribe medications for off-label use and that ivermectin is a "Particularly well-tolerated medicine with an established safety record."
Peterson added the FDA is ignoring several randomized controlled trials and at least one metaanalysis suggesting ivermectin is effective against COVID. He pointed out the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has adopted a similar stance - unsupported by scientific evidence - and the media has fueled confusion and misinformation on the drug.
Professional associations in the U.S. and internationally have adopted conflicting positions on ivermectin and COVID. The American Medical Association, American Pharmacists Association and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists issued a statement in September strongly opposing the ordering, prescribing or dispensing of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID outside of a clinical trial.
