“Brazil’s tragic ivermectin frenzy is a warning to the US, experts say”
From business insider: “But Brazilians quickly discovered — through heart-wrenching personal experience — the limits of treating COVID-19 with ivermectin. Brazil suffered some of its worst death rates yet in late 2020 and early 2021, even in heavily ivermectin-dosed areas, as the more transmissible P1, or Gamma, variant spread quickly across the country.”
Important to note this statement: “The evidence base for that protocol leaned heavily on data from Dr. Flávio Cadegiani, who’s now a member of the FLCCC, a US-based ivermectin propaganda machine.”
This whole study appears to be very biased in favor of ivermectin which isn’t surprising considering that Cadegiani is the lead author.
You’ll note his study:
participants were self-selecting.
no placebo for comparison
doesn’t appear to take vaccination status into consideration.
previous covid infections were excluded from the study - what about ‘natural immunity’?
Citing “experts” from a Business Insider article is the opposition to a Research Gate article. You choose. Others choose. But it is not definitive. She says so herself.
BI’s Hilary Brueck reports with words like “through heart-wrenching personal experience,” and the article includes “It is still possible that, in combination with other drugs, the antiparasitic could be one item used in a multilayered system of treatment for COVID-19, perhaps to speed recovery in the early stages of disease. But other early treatment options, like Merck's new pill, appear far more promising in human trials.”
So she argues for the “promising and as yet unavailable Merck product, which is a forecast for the future from Business Insider.
The article ends, “...come to your own conclusions.”
Here are some data points for Brazil and that “frenzy”:
( 616,457 deaths / 212,559,417 population ) x 100 = 0.29% of the total population as of 13 December 2021.

One third of one percent dead “officially” over about two years.
Here are some other “heart wrenching” tales which BI and Ms. Brueck will likely not be covering.
Well then, in 75 years you can tell us about the decision process regarding the FDA and the Pfizer “vaccines”.
It’s funny (and telling) how you are so quick to attack the alternatives, but blindly believe your employers and regurgitate their talking points. Shills gotta shill I guess. Go away vaxhole
NO CONTROL for co-morbidities, or age, or WHEN IVM was administered, nor if any vitamin regimens where administered too ... in short business insider lies by omission.
