Arkansas jail inmates say they were unknowingly given unproven COVID-19 treatment ivermectin: 'They were running experiments on us'
Inmates in an Arkansas jail say they were experimentally given Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 without their knowledge or consent.
Multiple Arkansas inmates reported that, unbeknownst to them, they were given Ivermectin to treat COVID-19. The jail physician who prescribed the drugs is now under investigation by the state medical board. They found out it was actually Ivermectin five days later when news reports broke last month that Dr. Rob Karas was. At that point, the jail nurses started asking the inmates whether they consented to take the pills when offered. Several did not, Floreal-Wooten told CBS.
