Ivermectin is a safe drug which has been used for years. It is anti-parasitic, but also anti-viral. It specifically works against mRNA viruses.

Many medical doctors found ivermectin useful in treating covid, if used at the right time, at the right dose, and in combination with other drugs or supplements. However, use of ivermectin for covid was soon prohibited, maybe because the covid vaccines could not be approved for emergency use if there were any existing effective treatments.


Some of you here think science is simple and easy. That is because you have never done scientific research yourself. Many researchers have found ivermectin to be useful in treating covid, and this is one example. But there has also been research showing the opposite. Well, it is not hard to "prove" a drug does not work, if that is your goal. Just give the wrong dose at the wrong time, etc.

Experimental findings for SARS-CoV-2 related to the glycan biochemistry of coronaviruses indicate that attachments from spike protein to glycoconjugates on the surfaces of red blood cells (RBCs), other blood cells and endothelial cells are key to the infectivity and morbidity of COVID-19. To...

This has been a truth known all along, but politically suppressed in favor of the government's singular and sole "solution."

Yes. There has been an all out publicity campaign to get everyone vaccinated for covid. Maybe the intentions were mostly good, but some deception was necessary.

It is extremely easy, as I said, to make a drug trial come out negative, even if the drug actually works. Simply give too low a dose of the drug, or don't include enough subjects, and many other easy tricks. Which the public falls for, since they do not understand the complexities and subtleties of medical research. Some of you here have that problem. You think all scientists have to do is collect data and plug the data into a statistics program and out pops the correct answer. No.
 
It doesn't work, it's shit give it up.

Agreed.

Take one of the versions specifically tested for human consumption and which over 4 billions doses have been safely administered to effectively treat both parasites and viral issues in humans worldwide - over the past 20-30 years or so.
 
Oh my goD, are some of you guys still taking horse suppositories?

I mean, for real?
 
Developing new medications can take years; therefore, identifying existing drugs that can be repurposed against COVID-19 that already have an established safety profile through decades of use could play a critical role in suppressing or even ending the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Both observational and randomized studies have evaluated ivermectin as a treatment for, and as prophylaxis against, COVID-19 infection. A review by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance summarized findings from 27 studies on the effects of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection, concluding that ivermectin “demonstrates a strong signal of therapeutic efficacy” against COVID-19.9 Another recent review found that ivermectin reduced deaths by 75%.10 Despite these findings, the National Institutes of Health in the United States recently stated that “there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19,”11 and the World Health Organization recommends against its use outside of clinical trials.12

Nonsense, born out of sheer ignorance of the drug, its uses, effectiveness, and a propaganda campaign by the government to quench its possibilities as one treatment against covid.
 
One has to wonder why Merck, who used to hold the patent for Ivermectin, refused to do just this...

...in favor of a multi-billion dollar contract to develop a new vaccine?

...and notwithstanding their patent for it expired years ago so it's no longer a big revenue item for them anymore.

Yes. Some people here at this forum cannot imagine there would be a propaganda campaign by democratic governments. But this was considered a big emergency, and therefore lying was for a good cause.

Zinc augments the antiviral potential of HCQ/CQ and ivermectin to reduce the risks of more serious outcomes from COVID-19 infection - PMC

Treatments do not replace vaccinations or restrictions, but are practical, effective, and safe means to help to reduce the fatality associated with COVID-19 infection. While no treatment is available and effective for all the current and future ...

Adopting antiviral therapies or negating their use made a substantial difference. Countries that practically do not use antivirals such as the United Kingdom, Italy, or Belgium, where drugs such as remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, or interferon are discouraged following the advice by the world health organization [6], had case fatality rates till mid of 2021 up to 10 times larger than countries of similar quality health systems such as Qatar or the United Arab Emirates that routinely uses these antivirals as part of their Covid-19 protocols [7], [8]. The United Arab Emirates only has 0.3%, and Qatar 0.2%.

While the case fatality rate is certainly affected by many other factors, it is singular that those countries that do not use antivirals had one order of magnitude larger case fatality rates vs. those that kept using antivirals.
 
The vaccines were considered a medical miracle, and the way of the future of medicine. And not to mention big piles of money to be made.

No, it just doesn't work
 
the pharmaceutical/disease control collision to shut out low cost anti-virals is the untold story
That and the fact ALL debate was shut down by Fauci/ CDC (et all) as "misinformation" choked research into effective palliatives even before the vaxx

It's a long sordid tale - but you can see the fanatical use of vaccines ONLY to interfere with viral loading
is driven by money/politics

Precisely.

And the irony of it all was as @anatta noted - given the years it takes to get a new vaccine to market safely, why in the world did the dimocrats put forth such a strong propaganda campaign against it when they could have displayed a sense of true concern in looking at every potential solution, however effective, in the interim?

No, their tactic blew up in their face - as it should have. Something truly smells in DC.
 
Ahyup.

...and to this day you still have people around here ignorantly calling it "horse paste" as if that was its sole purpose.
 
But they will never admit they did anything wrong. Fauci has a perfectly clear conscience. He did not help to fund gain of function research that probably caused the pandemic. He did not encourage lockdowns that destroyed and damaged millions of lives. And he did not push the vaccines and suppress other treatments.

The scientific research community spent a lot of time and effort on legitimate COVID treatments. I was involved. My advice is to get vaccinated and take the COVID treatment that your doctor recommends.

Those are the most severely ignorant at this forum. Most of them know better, no matter how much they love mRNA vaccines.

Helix, that's total bullshit, and you know it - at least you should, if you were involved.

And fwiw, I did get vaccinated, as my doctor recommended - so mine isn't an anti-vax position at all.

The orange precious did not eat horse paste when he got sick. There were planes on runways waiting to take him whatever infusion treatment his doctor asked for. He got cutting edge treatments, and then got vaccinated. He might have said dumbass word salad shit about crackpot COVID remedies on tv, but his decision to listen to his doctors very likely saved his life. I hope that you listen to your doctor, as well.

To this very day the concerns over the mRNA vaccines has only been GROWING, not dwindling. More and more questions about them, about the process(es) getting them shoved out to the public are being raised every day.

The fact is we DON'T KNOW what the adverse effects of them are. We don't.

The whole process was blatantly tainted and horrifically rushed.

If it turns out over time, and with all the standard testing other drugs for similar (anti-viral) purposes is completed, that they are fundamentally safe - great! But we simply cannot say that with certainty now.
 
This has nothing to do with Trump, Helix.

Good grief - what an inane deflection.
