TL;DR Summary

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that a hospital cannot be forced to give ivermectin, a deworming drug, to a patient with COVID-19. The decision upholds a lower court's ruling against a man who sued Aurora Health Care when doctors refused to treat his uncle with ivermectin. Ivermectin has become popular among conservatives as a miracle cure for COVID-19, but the FDA has not approved it for use in treating the virus and warns that misusing it can be harmful, even fatal. The Wisconsin lawsuit is one of dozens filed across the country seeking to force hospitals to administer ivermectin for COVID-19.
