A Missouri bill that would prevent state licensing boards from disciplining doctors who prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine is now headed for Gov. Mike Parson’s desk, after the state legislature passed it by an overwhelming majority.

Sponsored by Republican state Rep. Brenda Kay Shields, state House Bill 2149 also would bar pharmacists from questioning doctors or disputing with patients regarding the use of such drugs and their efficacy.
