Wisconsin Supreme Court Says Neigh to Ivermectin Treatment

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023 -- 4:00 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) The Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld a hospital’s refusal to administer a discredited COVID remedy.

Tuesday’s 6-1 decision validates doctors at Aurora Health Care, who in 2021 had refused to administer the horse dewormer ivermectin to a patient with COVID-19. A relative with medical power of attorney sued, and a Waukesha County judge sided with him, with the stipulation that he provide the drug and the doctor to administer it.

The Supreme Court upheld an appeals court decision that found that the judge did not have the authority to order Aurora to provide the treatment.
