.MaddowBlog: It's hard not to wonder whether the anti-science backlash across much of the Republican base is leading GOP officials who know better to say wildly irresponsible things.

With this in mind, it was encouraging to see congressional Republicans'"Doctors' Caucus" — made up of elected lawmakers who are also medical professionals —in April encouraging Americans to get Covid-19 vaccinations. Several of the GOP lawmakers helped drive the point home by appearing in white lab coats.

That was six months ago. Some members of the GOP's"Doctors' Caucus" have headed in far more discouraging directions of late. For example, consider this Washington PostRep. Andy Harris , a practicing anesthesiologist, said he has prescribed ivermectin, a medication typically used to treat parasites in livestock and humans, as a covid-19 treatment, and he lashed out at pharmacies for not making the drug readily available, according to a recent radio interview.

Remember, Marshall, like Harris, was in the"Doctors' Caucus" video six months ago, assuring Americans that the vaccine was safe and effective.
