Arkansas Inmates Say They Were Given Ivermectin For COVID-19 Without Their Consent
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING People incarcerated in an Arkansas jail say the facility’s physician prescribed them ivermectin to treat COVID-19 and that they weren’t aware they were taking the drug. Rob Karas acknowledged in an interview with CBS affiliate KFSM that he prescribed ivermectin to incarcerated people with COVID symptoms, but said they were “not forced” to take the drug. Madison said she confronted Dr. Karas, who defended his actions by pointing to a website touting ivermectin despite the FDA’s claims to the contrary. “It’s very disturbing to me that that’s the level of medical care that we’re providing to the folks down at the jail.” Documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request by the AP show the state Medical Board was already looking into complaints about Karas before the ivermectin allegations surfaced.
