Original Note:
States regulate doctors, not FDA. FDA echoes the medical consensus: "data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19." While doctors may prescribe drugs off-label, states and ethics guidelines require providing informed consent and meeting the standard of care. https://retinatoday.com/articles/2019-nov-dec-supplement/medicolegal-implications-of-off-label-drug-use https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19
