The same corporations that refused to fill Doctor's prescriptions for it aren't suddenly going to move it from behind the counter so people can buy it freely just because they're allowed to. The law should have REQUIRED that all licensed pharmacies that fill prescriptions for that drug must also have it available over the counter. With a $10,000 penalty for every instance of someone who was not able to buy it when that location had any in stock to fill as a prescription.
GOOD. Then people will stop going to those places, and instead go to the places that will put it right behind the counter. I hope you're right that they try to withhold it, but I would not want any penalty that might make them reconsider their policy and stay in business. I want all of these corporations to go bankrupt and new, better ones to replace them all - we should do business with friends, not enemies.
The reality is people are going to the Walgreens or CVS by their house or the closest one that has a good price on what they want. They're not going to start driving to a different town to go to a place that sells ivermectin anymore often than they want to get ivermectin.
