(Mike Osborne) — More pandemic related legislation was scheduled for debate Wednesday in Tennessee’s GOP controlled State Assembly.
A measure was to be debated by the full Senate Wednesday morning that would make the drug Ivermectin available over the counter. Conservatives have touted the medication as a COVID-19 preventative. But numerous studies have shown little evidence that Ivermectin is effective against the virus.
A pair of GOP measures to be heard Wednesday in the House Health Committee would prevent hospitals and nursing homes from enforcing blanket quarantine policies during a health emergency.
A third measure would extend current bans on the enforcement of vaccine mandates.
