Arkansas detention center doctor is treating COVID positive inmates with Ivermectin

Justice of the Peace Madison called on the committee to replace Dr Karas. 'I think we need to reevaluate who we're using,' she said. She questioned: 'Are we allowing him to effectively experiment on our detainees at our jail with no oversight?'

Madison spoke to Dr Karas herself and told the committee that the jail's health provider 'was not at all concerned that he was prescribing medication to inmates that is not authorized by the FDA'.'He cited to me an NIH study which I read - that the NIH did not take a position because they said there was not enough research. In addition, he cited me to some organization that is a little bit suspect,' she added.

When Madison asked Dr Karas, 'So you're going to follow a website over what the FDA says?' he replied by saying 'yes'.

The Justice of Peace told the committee Dr Karas said he was taking ivermectin himself and had members of his family on the drug.

'It's very disturbing to me that that's the level of medical care that we're providing to folks down at the jail,' Madison said before walking off the panel.

Meanwhile, Helder reported at the meeting that the jail has had zero inmate deaths from the coronavirus. Jail officials said inmates have also been offered the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
