A Fox News guest who has promoted the use of unproven drugs to treat COVID-19 recommended on Sunday that viewers go to his group’s website to obtain its “protocols” of treatment, which include specific drugs — and importantly, at specific dosage levels — that are used for transgender health care.
Dr. Pierre Kory has appeared on Fox News multiple times to promote the use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin, claiming that pharmaceutical companies “will never develop a drug that is more effective” nor admit that they were wrong. During an appearance on the January 9 edition of Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Kory promoted his group Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) and claimed that “people are dying because they're being deprived of highly effective, cheap, widely available drugs that do not present as obscene profits to the pharmaceutical companies.”
“That is disgusting,” Bartiromo responded. “I know for a fact that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin work to treat COVID.”
Kory then directed viewers to the FLCCC website, which recommends ivermectin as a “first line” medicine to treat cases of COVID-19. But as Twitter users have pointed out, the document contains a list of “second line agents” to use if symptoms last more than five days, if there is a “poor response” to the “first line agents,” or in case of “significant comorbidities.”
This second treatment consists of a “dual anti-androgen therapy” of spironolactone, in combination with either dutasteride or finasteride — drugs that are commonly used by transgender women to suppress their testosterone levels.

They're afraid of soy because they think it will make them less manly but now they're recommending androgen pills? It's absurd and hilarious and scary and tragic.

The fact these assholes can openly recommend medications like this is insane to me.
How is this not illegal? He's putting lives in danger with this misinformation, he shouldn't be allowed to do shill for his "alternative solutions".
Fucking crazy, this guy should be locked up for dangerous behaviour.

That drug is also used to treat liver failure and those fuck heads better not make it scarce with their hoarding.
