Attorney who backs election decertification enters Attorney General race to investigate doctors who won't prescribe ivermectin

MADISON - A Chippewa Falls attorney who is a key player in a movement to take the impossible step of decertifying the 2020 election is running for Attorney General on a platform of using the office to prosecute doctors who did not administer the anti-parasite drug ivermectin to dying COVID-19 patients and instead gave them other treatments.

Karen Mueller is joining the race's Republican primary after unsuccessfully suing in November 2020 to overturn the presidential election result, and writing a memo in January supporting state Rep. Tim Ramthun's call to decertify the election, an analysis that has been widely circulated among decertification supporters. Other attorneys and legal experts have concluded the idea is impossible and illegal.

Mueller said in an interview she is launching a campaign in order to investigate six Wisconsin hospitals for their doctors' decisions to not administer ivermectin to COVID-19 patients. She would not disclose the names of the hospitals or reveal details of her allegations. ... The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19 infections and has warned users about its potential risks to those who are infected.

Mueller said the CDC and FDA are "liars" and that families have called her "begging for help, trying to figure out what to do because their loved ones were in hospitals and the families believed that those loved ones were basically being murdered. And they had the drugs withheld from them." ... "I am running for Attorney General because of potential homicides in hospitals, because of vaccines — so-called vaccines," she said. ... Mueller, who said she took ivermectin last year while infected with COVID-19, said she did not consult a doctor or scientist to analyze whether the deaths or illnesses could have been prevented by the drug that doctors and researchers say has not been proven to be effective against the coronavirus. She said a trial would root out the facts of the situation.

Supporting the overturning a legitimate free and fair election should be disqualifying. People should NEVER be subject to litigation for legitimately performing their job duties either. As if we haven’t abused our healthcare workers enough. Fuck these “people” one and ALL.

I mean, its illegal. And if thats a requirement in the oath of office then this tramp has shown she will NOT follow it.

And I get what you're saying, I play devils advocate now and then too. And boy does it piss off some people!!
But if her oath of office says she agrees to uphold & defend the constitution and she openly is supporting unconstitutional efforts, then why WOULDNT it disqualify her? Its not just crazy ideas that we don't like, its against what her office requires.

She's a fascist, trying to use the state to cow experts who won't submit to the will of the Fuhrer Trump.

Ivermectin is an ANTI-PARASITIC. It treats parasitic infections. Especially in any animal with multiple stomachs - cows, horses, goats, alpacas, llamas, donkeys, sheep.

COVID is a NOT a parasite. It is a virus. It should be treated with anti-virals.

Any politician who suddenly thinks they know more than the doctors, the specialists, the medical establishment and scientific researchers, should be tarred and feathered.

There are PLENTy of medicines intended for one thing that are found to be effective for something totally different.
But Ivermectin, according to that large recent study, isn't one of them.

Neither the American Constitution nor any state constitution allows for the decertification of an election. This is a meme people have picked up from the internet, just like their belief that ivermectin cures covid (mostly because two years ago Trump said "somebody" told him that it was a cure). They believe Trump but not actual doctors.
