Arkansas inmates who were given ivermectin to treat COVID file federal lawsuit against jail

I did Nazi this coming.

A group of men detained at Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas say that the jail's medical staff gave them the anti-parasite drug ivermectin last year, without their consent, to treat COVID-19, while telling them the pills were "vitamins." On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of the inmates, filed a federal lawsuit against the jail and its doctor.

But not uses for covid, lying to the inmates is wrong and they should get something for it if they where harmed. And the people who did it get fired for it.
