When state senators in South Carolina held two hearings in September about COVID treatments, they got an earful on the benefits of ivermectin — which many of the lawmakers lauded along the way, sharing experiences of their own loved ones.
The demands for access to the drug were loud and insistent, despite the fact that federal regulators had just issued a strong warning against using the drug to treat COVID-19.
One member of the public, Pressley Stutts III, reminded the panel that his father, a prominent GOP leader in the state, had died from COVID just a month before. He believed ivermectin could have helped. But doctors at the hospital wouldn't even discuss it, he said.
"I went every bit as far as I could without getting myself thrown in jail trying to save my father's life," he told the panel, as lawmakers offered their condolences.
"What is going on here?" he asked, with the passion in his voice growing. "My dad's dead!"
The pleas to public officials have been building. And now they're beginning to act, largely to satisfy their conservative constituents.
Ivermectin is a generic drug that has been used for decades to treat river blindness, scabies and even head lice. Veterinarians also use it, in different formulations and dosages, to treat animals for parasites like worms.
After the pandemic began, scientists did launch some clinical trials to see if ivermectin could help as a treatment for COVID. Some of those are still ongoing. But most doctors won't currently prescribe it as a COVID treatment, citing the poor quality of the studies to date, and two notorious "preprint" studies that were later taken off the Internet because of inaccurate and flawed data.

There is no excuse for it.

Wow....Someone from NPR actually writes the truth. Amazing.
It would have been even better if Blake Farmer could have taken a short trip to India, where they were showing up at people’s home and giving them ZIVERDO( Zinc, Ivermectin, Doxycylcine...costs $2.95) packs. Lo and behold, COVID pretty much disappeared from the landscape there.
Or maybe reach out the family of Judith Smentkiewicz, who was in a coma and on deaths door. Whose family had to sue the hospital twice before she was treated with Ivermectin. Lo and behold, she fine.
Is it a wonder drug that cures all? No. But it sure does seem to work. But
Safer that Tylenol
So much crap in that NPR article
“But most doctors won’t currently prescribe it as a COVID treatment, citing the poor quality of the studies to date, and two notorious “preprint” studies that were later taken off the Internet because of inaccurate and flawed data.”
Thy won’t prescribe it because they might lose their license!
“Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert reminding clinicians that ivermectin is not an FDA-approved treatment for COVID”
Neither is the Kill Shot. EUA only.
“But instead of listening to the medical consensus”
Consensus isn’t fact- It’s just like the phony argument from authority crap for Glo-Bull Warming.
DEFUND NPR and all the other Goobermint Outlets.
You don’t say.
A friends, older sister ended up in the ER over Tylenol.
Insane world we’re living in. The amount, of greed, corruption and the behaviors behind them, is astounding and seems to only get worse by the day.
Thanks, NPR, for letting us know that some of our politicians are DOING THEIR JOBS!
NPR/PBS has a vendetta against Ivermectin.
That’s all anyone needs to know about it’s efficacy.
Time to repost the whole thing, it has been a month.
Useful Ivermectin links. More than you probably want to know about Ivermectin:

Emory University has a very prestigious medical school. The Dean of Emory Medical School has Indian heritage, and co-wrote an article in the Times of India advocating using Ivermectin against Covid, among other things. This has gotten =ZERO= coverage in US media, including his hometown paper, the AJC, and his hometown news network, CNN.
Try to convince me that isn’t newsworthy - both his original article and the non-coverage of it by US media.

The infographic there is excellent. Summary: The parts of Africa where Ivermectin is in widespread use to prevent a terrible parasitic disease, African River Blindness, also have very low Covid incidence.
Interesting Twitter account that has linked many Ivermectin and other med studies on Covid treatments.

The Story of Ivermectin
https://rumble.com/vlpecw-the-story-of-ivermectin.html
Excellent 24m documentary video
160 or so congrescritters who got covid took ivermectin. Guess it’s only banned for public use, not ‘leadership’ use. We peons aren’t privileged enough to be allowed the use of it apparently
yup
but there’s a lot more than just “some” that will need to hang for all this
everyone involved plus their enablers/sympathizers
and if you think i’m too drastic, we are talking about admitted tens of thousands dead from this crap, tens of thousands dead from deliberate sh1tty care to bump the victim numbers up
As Pfizer continues to fund the DNC their continued push back against anything other than pfizer continues

NEVER before have Pharmacists violated the patient-doctor relationship or refused to fill legitimate prescriptions. It’s one of many scandals in this health crisis. Those who violate their oaths will soon be exposed.

Less than a year now to election day. Just as with Spring in Appalachia, election cycles get critters to crawl out from under their rocks
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. You are not a member of Congress. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Nope I’m a human for which ivermectin was created- and vet ivermectin is the same as human-
on the other hand, we are not termites- so we should not take aspirin, which is derived from willow bark, which is wood- so we shoudl not take it
I added the "You are not a member of Congress" because it's been revealed that a couple of hundred members of CONgrift and their families have gotten Ivermectin which the peasants can't get...
