It's perfectly legal to prescribe meds off label. It's done all the time and we're in a pandemic so it's going to be even more common as doctors "practice" medicine based on what they're seeing in their patients. Ivermectin has a multi-decade safety profile.

If you go into a hospital right now for COVID, you'll be prescribed piles of off-label meds as they try to treat you, even if you're vaccinated and wearing a mask.

As legislators they're free to compare this doctor's professional judgement against other authorities like CDC or FDA, but as long as he's giving them human grade there's no harm done, and he still has the zero death record so that is something definitely in his favor.
