Wisconsin Supreme Court won't order ivermectin use for COVID Wisconsin’s conservative-controlled Supreme Court ruled a hospital couldn't be forced to give a deworming drug to a patient with COVID-19, saying a county judge did not cite a legal basis for ordering the facility to administer ivermectin. Ivermectin became popular among conservatives after commentators and even some far-right doctors held up the antiparasitic drug as a miracle cure for the coronavirus and other illnesses. But the Food and Drug Administration hasn't approved it for use in treating COVID-19 and warns that misusing ivermectin can be harmful, even fatal. Tuesday's decision upholds a lower court's ruling against Allen Gahl, who sued Aurora Health Care in 2021 when doctors refused to treat his uncle with ivermectin. AP NEWS
