licensing boards to discipline doctors for prescribing ivermectin is overdue. I don't think it should prohibit pharmacists from giving their opinion to the doctor or their customer, however. That part seems a bit over the top. I think they should have freedom of conscience as well to refuse to sell whatever drugs that in their expert opinions would not be suitable for patients.

I know a couple of doctors who weren't happy about Missouri's licensing board, or whoever it was that had issued a notice that doctors were not to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine (&/or Ivermectin?) for Covid and for pharmacists not to fill those prescriptions if they did. The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) https://aapsonline.org/ had a petition on their website asking Missouri to give their doctors and pharmacists more leeway on this politically hot topic. Dr. Cole had been quite upset about this unprecedented meddling in the affairs of doctors and pharmacists in a pandemic from a newly emerged pathogen.

Regarding "Plan B", I hope that it is outlawed in Missouri once Roe v Wade is overturned. It is being used as an abortifacient. The intentional killing of an innocent human being should not be a legal "Plan B" for anyone.
