WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Inmates at a jail in Arkansas were treated for COVID-19 with ivermectin, according to county officials at a finance and budget committee meeting Wednesday. Ivermectin is an anti-parasite drug commonly used for livestock that’s been erroneously used as a coronavirus treatment in recent weeks. The Food and Drug Administration and doctors strongly warn against it.
The realization the drug was used on inmates came after a county employee was tested for COVID-19, said a county official. The employee said they tested negative and were given a prescription of ivermectin.
The employee went to their primary care doctor, who told them to throw it away.
94, The primary care doctor probably said, No, don't throw it away, give it to me and I'll dispose of it. Then put it in his secret stash set aside for himself, his family and friends. We're not making you take it, friend. Go back to Daily KOS.

Random observation: The writer misgendered the employee, unless the employee is one of those they/them enby nutbars. Should be fired.
