Dr. Simone Gold, of America's Frontline Doctors Who Should Really Have Their Medical Licenses Revoked, is just outraged. For the first time in her whole entire life, she is hearing about pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions! Not ever! Not even once!

"NEVER before have Pharmacists violated the patient-doctor relationship or refused to fill legitimate prescriptions," she tweeted. "It's one of many scandals in this health crisis. Those who violate their oaths will soon be exposed."

The retweets and replies are full of equally outraged wingnuts who have also never, ever, ever heard of this happening, and who are very sad about pharmacies — CVS pharmacy in particular — refusing to prescribe their Ivermectin. Many of them were also very excited at the idea of seeing them "exposed" for violating their oath.

As it turns out, there actually is an official Pharmacist's Oath, and you will be shocked to discover that nowhere does it say that they are legally bound to fill every prescription no matter what.

It reads:

I promise to devote myself to a lifetime of service to others through the profession of pharmacy. In fulfilling this vow:

I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of suffering my primary concerns.
I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal outcomes for my patients.
I will respect and protect all personal and health information entrusted to me.
I will accept the lifelong obligation to improve my professional knowledge and competence.
I will hold myself and my colleagues to the highest principles of our profession's moral, ethical and legal conduct.
I will embrace and advocate changes that improve patient care.
I will utilize my knowledge, skills, experiences, and values to prepare the next generation of pharmacists.

I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am
entrusted by the public.

3. I had two refuse to fill my hydocodone prescription

I dont take it anymore but did for several years for back pain.

One said I had been on it for too long even though I had discussed this with my doc. He said the dosage was to low to worry about addiction and he was right.

The other would not fill any oppiates. Period.

I discussed this with his boss who said its his licence and he's not required to fill any prescription. I told him I didn't have a problem with that but what I did have a problem with was him lying and telling me they were out of the hydro.

He was gone the next week.

4. If Tractor Supply can sell it, ivermectin must not be by prescription in every state.

6. Back when there were small mom and pop pet stores you could buy all sorts of medications.

Many types of antibiotics like tetracycline were sold over the counter for use in fish tanks. They were all labeled 'not for human consumption'. This was in Florida. Now with the bigger chain stores you need a script from your veterinarian to buy these types of medicines. That's the way it is in Florida. It might be different in other states though.

Not for medical reasons but because of religious beliefs.
