Why doesn’t WHO, CDC FDA or congress do a study on repurposing all ready approved drugs for therapeutic or prophylaxis on C19???
Ivermectin?
Hydroxichloroquine?
No money to be made with those.
Ugh! No money to be made from those old drugs. Besides, Trump spoke highly of them, so they must be no good.
They claim to have studied HCQ: "The WHO’s trial previously involved fewer countries and determined that remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir and interferon had “little or no effect” on hospitalized COVID-19 patients."
Of course, around here we knew that back in April 2020. HCQ was helpful when given at first onset of symptoms (with zinc and one other thing that escapes me right now) and was useless when symptoms had already become severe enough for hospitalization
This week I went out to lunch with a retired military virologist. She has not taken the jab and stocked up on HCQ.
She is basing her decision on a paper she read in 2005 that supported the use of HCQ to fight a Covid virus. It was written by Fauci.
She also mentioned that emergency use vaccine laws apply when there are no other treatment. She said that is why Ivermectin and HCQ (which are all valid treatments) are being dismissed.
I think she nailed it.
HCQ and Ivermectin have a great track record of cure, but nobody or physicians prescribe it.
those studies have been done and some are still going on - over 66 for IV and as many or more for HCQ.
There are limited in-hospital treatments, so being able to increase the options means more ways to interrupt the damage the virus is going to do to organs. And reduces the likelihood of the virus building a resistance to in-hospital treatments.

They will just set up the study to fail. Ain’t no big money for the PHARMA companies in those 2 treatments.
However, Merck IIRC, is coming out with a drug for C19, which many suspect is just an adaptation of their Ivermectin - the new version will of course be under patent and have a better profit margin for them.
The drugs in the above studies are for ‘in-hospital’ use. We we have very few chemical defenses against the disease once it progresses to hospitalization. And, according to India, higher doses of what we have are needed with variants. Meaning doctors need alternatives stat.
RE: hcq/ivermectin home remedies:
I personally would save the $250 that others are being scammed out of for on-line invermectin scripts. First, keep in mind that the original days to symptoms was 7-10, and the new is 3-4. Which changes the game - there’s far less time to even realize you’re sick, much less build a serum level against a virus that grows 1000x the viral load of Wuhan original. In non-hospitalized use, with a 98% survival in youth, who’s to say whether it was the person’s own body rallying? Are we seeing a sugar pill symdrome?
There have been over 66 in-hospital studies against the original Wuhan. Some look promising but some do not and the results are all over the scale. Studies continue against Delta, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, partly because it’s been 8 months since Delta appeared and nobody’s rushing to pre-print with a yureka!
