GOP Lawmaker Slams Use of Parasite Drug for Covid-19

Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) denounced the Horry County Republican Party’s promotion of ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, to treat Covid-19, the Columbia State reports.

Said Rice: “That the leaders of the Horry County Republican Party believe it is appropriate to advocate for medical treatment for any illness is simply insane. Especially in the middle of a plague, and in opposition to the guidance of the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute of Health, and 95% of the Physicians in the country.”

He added: “Folks, talk to your doctor if you want medical advice.”
