‘Don’t do it’: Dr. Fauci warns against using Ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19

Federal health agencies and officials across the country are warning people not to take ivermectin — a drug used to treat parasites in livestock — to treat and prevent COVID-19.

According to The Boston Globe, poison control centers in at least a dozen states have reported an increase in calls related to ivermectin ingestion. In an interview with CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci said there’s no evidence it works, and that it’s more likely to cause harm.

“Don’t do it; there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works and it could potentially have toxicity… with people who have gone to poison control centers because they’ve taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up getting sick,” he said. “There’s no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.”

Dr. Megan Ranney, a professor of emergency medicine at Brown University, told CNN that vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are the only confirmed methods of preventing COVID-19. Ivermectin, she said, is not a “miracle cure.”

“I want to be really clear, there is no data supporting that ivermectin prevents or cures COVID-19,” she said. “Unfortunately, the promotion for this drug has spread like wildfire among conspiracy theorists and people who are out to make a profit and we’re seeing people buy it from vets and take it themselves with really serious consequences. Another example of the very real harm of misinformation.”

Ivermectin first received attention last year when a study showed that ivermectin inhibited the replication of COVID-19 “in vitro,” or in a laboratory setting. In April 2020, the FDA wrote that the type of study was “commonly used in the early stages of drug development” and that ivermectin was not given to people or animals.

Well golly. The third world has been using ivermectin with great results, I guess Fauci will send them a strongly worded letter.

If there ever was an incentive to use Ivermectin, this is it.

The 6mg tablets used for decades for lice and pinworms in humans. It is not given to horses or cows. Calling all ivermectin formulations being only for animals is lame at best. I wouldn’t eat the paste personally, the tablets work fine as a prophylactic which is all the shots are since they are not true vaccines.

If Ivermectin (and HCQ) didn’t work, our murderous health nazis would not be trying so damn hard to stamp it out and criminalize it.

Mr. Ed says it’s ok, so that’s good enough for me.

I wonder if safe doses were made available if it wouldn’t have a better outcome.

First, you have to believe the CDC reports of increased reports of "“rapid increase in ivermectin prescriptions and reports of severe illness” associated with its use".

And if you are stupid enough to believe that, then you will believe anything they have to say.

[[“Don’t do it; there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works]]

Oh Yeah?

“Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro.”

“There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19”

Not gonna knock those who can’t get
ivermectin without a prescription.
The stuff works no matter the source.
It just takes a little math to figure
out the correct amount and frequency.

Well, if Dr. Fauci warns against it, that seems reason enough to trust it ;)

My thoughts exactly.

If Fauci took it then he would probably melt.

Exactly- millions of people the whole world over have taken it for decades- it was aWArded some kind of an award for being so effective in controlling worms and scabies in people- and for decades people have been taking it safely- I seriously doubt that there is a ‘sudden rapid increase in overdoses’- Even if there is- it is because folks are NOT taking per their weight- and they take the whole syringe- perhaps even several syringes as they panic over a virus that has a near 100% survival rate-

Gosh, I wonder why Fauci won't allow patients a 'right to try' FDA approved medications deemed safe and in use for 50 years, but he will try to force everyone in the US to have an experimental product injected repeatedly into their arm, even thought he technology has a 20 year history of failure and vaccine harm.

Could it be Fauci's employer, Eugenecist Bill Gates, wants him to deny us medications that work?

I just don't believe it's an accident that the CDC's 340 page COVID PROTOCOL denies hospital access to all products that help (right down to IV Vitamins) and Ivermectin etc., and allows oxygen only, until you die.

Here is a study that is currently tracking 63 studies worldwide on the use of Ivermectin for treating Covid

https://ivmmeta.com/

It’s also tracking other therapeutics besides Ivermectin

So Fauci is absolutely lying

“According to the most recent data from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the largest producer of horse meat in the world is China, which produced 170,848 tonnes of horse meat in 2010. “

Has ivermectin ever been measured in horse meat as a
quantity?

I’d pay good money to see debate between Anthony Fauci and Pierre Kory (or even a joint press conference.)
