The Office of the Attorney General in Nebraska issued an opinion Friday in response to the request of the  Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services that states thereâs no âclear and convincing evidence that a physician who first obtains informed consent and then utilizes Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 violates the UCA (Nebraskaâs Uniform Credential Act).â
Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson together with his Solicitor General and Assistant Attorney General issued their opinion in response to a request by Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services CEO, Dannette Smith. She wanted the AGâs office to examine carefully whether doctors could face legal action or be subject to discipline if they prescribed the meds for COVID treatment.
âAllowing physicians to consider these early treatments will free them to evaluate additional tools that could save lives, keep patients out of the hospital, and provide relief for our already strained healthcare system,â AG Doug Peterson wrote.
