Federal student loan payment pause Student loan payments on debt serviced by the U.S. Department of Education have been on pause since March 2020, with such loans also collecting no interest for nearly three years....

Oh no, so Pfizer’s reverse engineered, extremely overpriced ripoff of Ivermectin will no longer be subsidized? Well then, I guess anyone who needs it will just have to settle for the vastly cheaper, more effective, and safer drug that it (poorly) mimics.

so says Alex Jones the conspiracy buff. but the reality is Ivermectin is not a 3CL protease inhibitor, has not shown protease inhibitation in any clinical research and is not even similar to paxlovid in chemical structure. Ivermectin has been shown repeatedly in a dozen large double blind studies to have less or equal to nothing more than a placebo effect on Covid, including variants that have developed since original covid.

It is sad and I do mean sad,

that this type of announcement is met with financial fears and for some financial panic.

The end of Title 42, emergency orders, etc. should be celebrated. Instead it sounds more like a death knell ringing.

Well, the end of Title 42 is certainly not a positive. One wonders though why we needed a health crisis to allow Border Patrol to expel people who cross our border illegally.

I think it’s been extended quarterly since Trump first doomed us with it, but more recently with promises of at least a quarter’s notice before is ended.

Evil and idiocy all around.

How come everyone on Paxlovid rebounds? How can Pfizer be trusted? Oh but there are studies? And approvals? Just like the ones that said safe and effective, right?

I think your comments stem from concerns over your portfolio and not public health. There…. I said it.

And there’s studies that sat ivermectin helps. Studies are like statistics, find the ones that favor your talking points.

“...end of the COVID public health emergency...”

That was just part 1. Pfizer is working on Part 2 etc, to profit from more “vaccines”.

Are you making this up about Ivermectin? Here’s several peer reviewed studies showing that Ivermectin is more effective than a placebo in numerous circumstances. I’d like to see your study.

Thanks...I respect when people get back with actual information....so thanks again.

BTW, the completed studies DO show that Ivermectin does make a difference as per the studies I posted. Also, it helps to slow replication in mild to moderate stages of this sickness....but not in severe or latter stages.

Which has been said all along...if it was given early on to most people instead of telling them to go home and call if you can’t breath, I believe a moderate percentage of those would be alive today. Instead, they mocked all those suggested it...despartley seeking anything that will help.
