Politician to miss his anti-vaccine mandate rally because he has COVID
A Republican lawmaker in North Dakota will miss his Monday rally opposing vaccine mandates because he has COVID-19. Instead, Rep. Jeff Hoverson said he will stay home and take a cocktail of medications including the unproven anti-parasite drug ivermectine and the malaria remedy Hydroxychloroquine.
“Covid is real and like a really bad flu,” Hoverson wrote on Facebook. “I am currently quarantining and each day is getting better.”
Hoverson claims his home remedy, which is popular with right-wing pundits, should be more widely used by the public. He noted that he’s not hospitalized and said he’s on the mend.

Thank you, brave soul, for getting me Ivermectin, which now with covid, I am able to stay out of the hospital. Covid is real and like a really bad flu. I am currently quarantining and each day is getting better. Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, etc; according to hundreds upon hungreds of medical experts, including in ND, SHOULD BE OUR EARLY AMBULATORY CARE. UPON DIAGNOSIS, GIVE THE KITS. call and Tell the state health dept to stop misleading the public about these available treatments. Look for yourselves, take your pick of experts... Dr Ryan Cole, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Paul Marik, Dr Peter McCollough, our own Dr Dan Stanisowski, Dr Richard Malone, Dr Brian Ardis, just to name a few. Why is ND providing cover for pharmaceuticals? We should be about keeping people out of the hospital.
