Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug that has been used since the mid-1970s to treat river blindness and intestinal infections. It has been documented by frontline doctors around the world to also be a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19. Ivermectin has found widespread use in Latin America and India and was just recommended for treatment against COVID in Japan.
In the United States, however, not only is ivermectin not FDA-approved, but it is demonized with a near-religious fervor.
Why is the U.S. medical establishment so opposed to ivermectin? They say it's because large-scale trials have not been done. But this rings hollow, with evidence from around the world saying just the opposite. More likely, the true answers circle back to money and reputations.
Let's break this down in some detail. Before doing so, keep two things in mind. First, ivermectin is an oral drug. It is not a vaccine. Second, ivermectin is off-patent, meaning that it is cheap.
1) The approval of ivermectin for COVID would severely dampen vaccine sales. People would reason, "Why should I take a risky vaccine when, if I catch COVID, it can be treated?" The fear of the vaccine lobby is that approval of ivermectin would fuel vaccine hesitancy, especially when they are advocating for booster shots perhaps even on a yearly basis.
2) The release of the COVID vaccines was done under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) grant. This EUA was predicated by the belief that there was no effective treatment for COVID. This allowed shortcuts to be taken for release of these novel vaccines to the public. One of the shortcuts was that possible long-term side-effects were not adequately studied. Should ivermectin be approved, this could threaten EUA for the vaccines and, in the worst case, lead to recall.

Probably because the right people don’t own shares in companies that produce it. Thus it is a threat to their investments in alternatives. If it became widely believed that ivermectin was more effective than vaccines, who would want a vaccine?
money. it would kill the vaccine windfall to big pharma
IB4TBC (in before the Branch Covidians).
Because it's getting in the way of Big Pharma's profits from their sometimes deadly jabs.
Simple: They donāt want the āpandemicā to ever end, and they certainly donāt want anything available that would reduce the level of fear and anxiety that gives them their newly-appropriated power.
Why is this drug being demonized with a near-religious fervor?”
Because itās likely beneficial as a treatment for multiple diseases.
Because Pfizer is making a COVID pill that does the same

“In the United States, however, not only is ivermectin not FDA-approved, but it is demonized with a near-religious fervor.”
Careless statement. Ivermectin is most certainly FDA approved (and far safer to take than Tylenol), but not for Covid.
At this point, admitting that a safe, effective, and cheap treatment has always been available, but purposely ignored, would risk exposure to genocide-level crime charges.
...so they have to fight it, all they way to the end.
Ivermectin does not seems to work on all variants and does to have the emerging vaccine related problems we are seeing in compact, discreet populations such as Israel. Nor does it seem to have the serious negative side effects.
It’s not a vaccine. It doesn’t work.
So what is it?
Some speculation is the metals are traceable and unique to each vial or shot.
Aka they can track you like you had a rf Id chip.
Seems a bit tin foil hat to me but that’s what is being floated.
5) Woven through the points above are the reputations of medical professionals who for whatever reasons ignored the evidence for ivermectin and other treatments for COVID. Should ivermectin get approved, questions would be asked, like how much suffering and how many deaths could have been avoided if this was done earlier? Nobody in the medical establishment is prepared to answer that question. This, perhaps more than any other reason, is why ivermectin and other treatments for COVID are demonized. So the strategy is to naysay ivermectin and push vaccinations to the hilt. However, much of the rest of the world is not following America's lead. Perhaps this is because their medical authorities are not held in the grip of Big Pharma as tightly as ours is. Emphasis mine.
...so they have to fight it, all they way to the end.
Yup. We are seeing crimes against humanity being committed in real time.
Since they’ve already bombed two HCQ favtories, I wonder if ivermectin is next.
p
For the EXACT same reason that HCQ.Z-Pack/zinc was. It’s CHEAP and EFFECTIVE. There’s NO MONEY to be MADE from them. Oh, there are other reasons as well. Like President Trump mentioning any treatment as effective.
“Yup. We are seeing crimes against humanity being committed in real time.”
And far from the only example, just the latest and most visible. The medical community has a near-perfect track record of getting everything WRONG that they don’t understand (especially in the area of diet/nutrition), but are so damn ARROGANT, that they’re happier to see people suffer big-time and die early, than admit they guessed wrong.
