It looks like my state attorney general is setting up so the state can waste our tax money to go after Nebraska Medicine (the state-run school the governor wants shuttered) and hospitals.

Prescription of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine as Off-Label Medicines for the Prevention or Treatment of Covid-19 (internal link to a PDF with an opinion from Nebraska State Attorney General Doug Peterson)

TL;DR, the head of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services asked a legal opinion on whether hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin could be prescribed by physicians.

The AG noted a study in The Lancet “denouncing” that usage, then immediately said the data was flawed (because he’s a lawyer, not a doctor, Jim).

He then points to “off-label” use saying as long as a physician doesn’t proscribe dangerous amounts of either those or any other drug to “treat” Covid-19, then his office is fine with it.
