HB1022
Permitting pharmacists to dispense the drug ivermectin by means of a standing order

To: The Senate Health and Human Services Committee

Member of NH Gov Chris Sununu’s Lyme Disease Study Commission

Dear Committee Members,

I support HB1022 permitting pharmacists to dispense the drug ivermectin due to the Tuttle family’s experience with our coexisting pandemic of Lyme disease. If it wasn’t for the courageous clinicians treating chronic Lyme disease through off label use of antimicrobials, we would not be here today.

The Lyme patient community has been shouting from the rooftops for three decades now while the CDC controls the narrative through suppression of the truth, facts and scientific references just as they have with COVID-19. Those of us who have studied the mishandling of Lyme disease believe that a rush to create a vaccine led to the deliberate misrepresentation of the infection as a chronic relapsing seronegative disease (chronic Lyme) did not fit the vaccine model. We have proof of persistent infection through autopsy and positive culture reports [1] but the CDC refuses to acknowledge this evidence labeling Lyme as a simple nuisance disease; “Hard to Catch and Easily Treated” [2] with 2-4 weeks of antibiotics. You have seen/heard the devastation firsthand through patent testimony. [3] (Ask Rep Leah Cushman)

Now, through COVID the rest of the world is waking up to what the Lyme community has experienced for decades. The lengthy list of legislation (here in NH and all across America) as a result of the mishandling of COVID is proof once again that our public health officials have misled our country through suppression of the truth, facts and scientific references. [4] It is crystal clear to me that ivermectin threatened the COVID-19 “for profit” business model.

The CDC has been captured by the pharmaceutical industry telling the nation’s physicians and pharmacists not to use generic medicines while promoting novel patented high-cost experimental drugs that are injuring the public. The CDC together with the FDA are putting profits ahead of patients. Legislation is a Band-Aid approach to these public health agencies that are out of control with no oversight or accountability. I have been calling for a congressional investigation into these runaway agencies through a Change.org petition [5] which now has over 98,000 signatures. It is time to put a stop to this medical dictatorship which is controlling the narrative while harming millions across America.

Please pass HB1022 and let doctors be doctors who for years have safely prescribed off label drugs. Save lives now!

Respectfully submitted,

Carl Tuttle
Hudson, NH
