John DeLorean (not De Lorean, which would put him in this select group) was on trial in federal court in the Eastern District of Michigan during a time when I had several cases in the same building.
“Is Ivermectin safe? When used for the current indications, at the currently approved doses, Ivermectin is a very safe drug.
