1. Doctors are not always right, nor are they always willing

But when something is disproved, we enter the realm of fantasy medicine. That should not be legalized.

5. So I could be in a hospital with gout...

and demand massive doses of morphine because I believe it will cure me?

Ridiculous. If you don't trust medical professionals to do what's best for you, go to a feed and grain store instead.

6. Has anyone told them they can't use it?

12. It does not even need a perscription

and it was never illegal to prescribe or just sell it anyway. You can pick up the paste and any place that carries meds for livestock. You might need a prescription for the people pill form but they would not get a doc to do that since it is not for this virus, at least I would hope not.

I live in Kansas, I am well used to being embarrassed. Sending hugs of comfort and understanding!

... just like wingnuts are now moving bills in a couple of states that will let anyone ban any book from any school library for any reason at all. Why don't Repubs just cut to the chase and declare anarchy the best American form of govrnment?
