That tells me the word hadn’t gotten out about ivermectin yet.
That must be it! The President of the United States of America, deathly ill and hospitalized, with access to all the medical knowledge on Earth - classified or public, with literally unlimited resources and funding available, and his entire extensive medical team just “hadn’t heard about” a better option yet.
Yeah, that’s it. Has nothing to do with the fact that Ivermectin has not been shown to be effective. Merck - who owns Ivermectin and would make a lot of money selling it - even says there’s no evidence it’s effective. Let that sink in: the company that owns the product doesn’t want to sell it for that purpose because they say it doesn’t work.
Steering people to Ivermectin is steering them away from effective treatment through monoclonal antibody therapy. Anyone who is at risk for complications or whose condition during infection with COVID-19 begins to worsen should immediately seek out an infusion center providing monoclonal antibody therapy. That’s what President Trump got in the hospital. That’s what actually works. The resistance to monoclonal antibody therapy among the anti-vaxxer groups is both shocking and quite telling.
They’d rather you go to PetSmart and eat horse paste than get an effective treatment for a potentially deadly disease.
