Doctor's ban extended after she recommended controversial drug as treatment for Covid

The horse deworming medicine, ivermectin, recommended by Dr Sarah Myhill, became famous when celebrities including Joe Rogan advocated it as a Covid treatment

A doctor has been banned from practising after "risking safety" by endorsing fringe coronavirus treatments — including a drug best known as a livestock dewormer. Powys-based Dr Sarah Myhill was working as a private GP when she exposed people to "potential serious harm", a medical tribunal found.

Dr Myhill, 65, worked for 20 years as an NHS GP before going private. Earlier this year she was suspended from the medical register for nine months after the General Medical Council (GMC) raised concerns over the doses of vitamins and other substances she had advocated as Covid-19 treatments. Now she has been suspended for another 12 months after a panel found she showed no "reflection" following the previous tribunal.

Ivermectin made headlines during the pandemic when celebrities including Joe Rogan spoke in favour of treating Covid with the antiparasitic medicine, which is commonly used to deworm livestock. Popularity for the drug as an alternative to the Covid vaccine increased to the point that the US Food and Drug Administration said in a 2021 statement: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

Ivermectin won Nobel prize for its effects on humans way before the Pandemic. It was developed for humans. Read about it. So glad I took it. It helps many things....

Susan - thanks for your comment. Most of us on here are aware of ivermectin and will have used it ourselves during the crazy. I posted the above because it is a MSM report of a brave and wonderful doctor who was prepared to risk all in to help others.
