The Doctor Who Called Ivermectin a 'Wonder Drug' Caught Covid
Men's Health ^ | 17 November 2021 | TAYLYN WASHINGTON-HARMON

Posted on 11/18/2021 2:41:35 AM PST by blueplum

...One of the drug's biggest promoters, Dr. Pierre Kory, a critical care doctor based in Wisconsin, claimed to take the drug weekly last December during a U.S. Senate hearing. Eight months later, he contracted Covid-19, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Wednesday. Kory has not publicly stated if he is vaccinated against the disease.

Kory has testified twice to the U.S. Senate in support of ivermectin, stating that it is a "wonder drug" with "miraculous effectiveness" against COVID-19....

...As of October 2021, there have been 1,810 reported cases of ivermectin poisoning across the country, compared to 499 within the first 10 months of 2019, reports the Journal Sentinel...

This is spectacularly stupid commentary.

I agree.

But hasn't it become rather tiring to constantly respond to such childish propaganda? I've been doing it, but am growing weary. If these people want to believe that the "vaccines" protect them, masks prevent virus infection and ivermectin is only for horses, let them wallow in their ignorance.

Actually, I like the people post articles like this. It gives us the ability to see what the other side is saying and comment on it. That’s why I subscribe to cnn. So I can get their videos and comment on them. And the funny thing about sites like CNN is if you actually read the comments you’ll find that the gross majority of them are actually from conservatives like us.

That’s why cancel culture came into existence. It’s because conservatives own the internet. We are able to use logic in our arguments while all the left can do is name call. And over time that becomes apparent to the lurkers. So the only way to silence us is to cancel us.

These threads give us the opportunity to respond without fear of being canceled

Death numbers from vaccines may be as widely falsified in the other direction as death numbers from Covid have been: no insurance payouts for treatments, deaths or burials if jabs are identified as being involved. And yes, jabs are the insertion of literally trillions of the bioweapon spike proteins that do the damage in the original “disease”.

Thank you for posting this. It allows us to see the stuff that a lot of the guys here won’t expose themselves to. And this gives us a place to freely comment on it and, more importantly analyze, scrutinize, and expose it’s hopelessly flawed and biased logic.

We need more of this kind of thing here so we can all, as a group, expose it for what it is.

Hopefully, you know where your monoclonal center is.

Right , try to find it by the public service announcements run by Men’s health, Milwaukee Journal and yes, Fox news, see it there right next to “Vaccine site near you?” Amazing the invective at Kory, Ivermectin and none toward the media and medical establishment that has hidden effective treatment with the same level of FDA approval as the vax . killing people everyday to panic people into vax. I guess it’s the noble lie strategy.

Well said.

Ivermectin is a very powerful antiviral and especially effective if used within 4 days of infection.

That doctors are not prescribing it is, as you said, the crime of the decade. People are turning to ‘horse paste’ because they have no alternative.

How pathetic - even as young athletes are dropping like flies from the jabs - which they can’t prove saved even a single life, you find the most leftist hit piece available - and fail to mention that the man caught it but ain’t in any danger because unlike the jabs, Ivermectin actually reduces the viral load by stemming production.

I guess because you had no problems, it’s fine to push it because those who have been killed and maimed by the jab mean nothing to you.

” The *vaccinated* are your friends that can drive you and make grocery and pharmacy runs for you without you worrying about crossinfecting an unvaccinated person.”

Actually, none of my friends have chosen to get vaccinated.

Instead of getting your news from a liberal news hit piece, why not go see what Dr. Kory actually said at that hearing? Nowhere did he say that if people take Ivermectin they would not get sick. He did present many studies if the efficacy of Ivermectin. https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Testimony-Kory-2020-12-08.pdf

Dr. Kory’s group of physicians also recommends monoclonals on their treatment protocol page as well https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf

Your second link refers to “research” done by Dr. Robert Hendrickson. This was in fact not a research study, it was just a letter to the editor based on 21 calls to a poison control center for which 6 people were hospitalized but none died https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2114907 There is no actual data on any of these patients as to other conditions they may have, including Covid itself, which can cause the symptoms described. In short, there is no proof of causation.

Long before Covid and the “government approved treatments” appeared, the safety profile of Ivermectin had been studied extensively. Here are just a few:

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/

Here is the Australian safety report on ivermectin when it was approved for the treatment for scabies. It states “ Ivermectin has no effect on mammalian GABA-mediated central nervous activity because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier” https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/auspar-ivermectin-131030.pdf

Another review of Ivermectin safety studies: “ The present extensive review of adverse events reportedly associated with ivermectin treatment for therapeutic or prophylactic purpose did not reveal any significant cause for concern. Indeed, with the notable exception of patients with parasitic diseases such as Onchocerciasis or Loa-Loa microfiliaris, serious adverse events temporarily associated with ivermectin were very infrequent. In fact, adverse events were mainly mild to moderate and infrequent. This is confirmed by results reported in patients with scabies or human beings without any ongoing parasitic disease.” https://thevirus.wtf/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Clinical_Safety_of_Ivermectin-March_2021.pdf

In fact, if you review the many studies on ivermectin, you will find that in the majority of cases, the most severe adverse events are related to the parasite being eliminated. Studies of use in scabies rarely result in these kinds of events.

According to the WHO adverse reaction database, vigiaccess.org, ivermectin which has been in use almost 30 years, has had only 5,705 adverse events. Even Tylenol has reported over 169,000 adverse events.

Monoclonals - It is important to note that monoclonal antibodies are under EUA in which the FDA says its safety needs to be studied https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-monoclonal-antibodies-treatment-covid-19

Side effects include:
throat irritation, swelling in your face or throat; dizziness, a light-headed feeling (like you might pass out); chest pain, wheezing, shortness of breath;
fever, chills, sweating, nausea, flushing (sudden warmth, redness, or tingly feeling); fast or slow heartbeats, headache, pounding in your neck or ears;
weakness, tiredness; rash, itching; or muscle pain

In addition, in many areas (such as mine) you have to meet the criteria for monoclonals by age or other risk factors. My husband and I meet none of the risk factors and would not qualify.

In short:
- no treatment is 100%, but both ivm and monoclonals appear to be effective against covid.
- both therapeutics are most effective in early stages of Covid
- no medicine is without side effects, neither ivermectin nor monoclonals.
- ivermectin has a an excellent safety profile in humans and has decades of studies on it. Regen-cov appears to be safe but has less than one year of data and limited studies.
- ivermectin does not have the exclusion criteria that monoclonals do

Go live in fear if you want. Quit trying to infect others with your amateur virologist opinions.

I’m proof that ivermectin works to alleviate symptoms and help bounce back quickly from the Wuhan Red Death.

Dr. Kory recommends monoclonals too, so that’s another lie you are pushing.

I suppose next you will tell us he is making a “fortune” somehow on his protocol. That seems to be the latest “narrative”

While I agree, I see from many anti-vaxxers they are taking the drug to avoid the disease, not hospitalization. Because that’s what they’ve been sold.

I've had discussions with those who claim avoidance and those who claim therapeutic. Take Phil Valentine. He was known to have taken the drug. But the question of when has never been directly addressed. There are those who claim he started too late and should have been taking it before contracting the disease.

The lesson seems to be that different treatments have different levels of effectiveness for different people. That makes sense to me. If 33% are greatly helped by XYZ, then why deny that possibility to anyone?

One size doesn’t always fit all.

“70% of adult COVID-19 inpatients aged under 50 are unvaccinated.”

From the same Pravda Press liars who said the jabs were 99% effective, and created lifetime immunity.

Just change that headline to any highly vaxxed country, such as Israel or the UK, and the quoted 70% can go as high as 90%.

That you choose to still believe these demonstrated jab-pushing liars, more fool you.

You are like a good Soviet Comrade who says, “I only read Pravda, it’s all the truth I need.”

More fool you.

“The Pandemic” was over for me when I got covid last December.”

The “Pandemic” was over for me before it started - regardless of whether or not I got covid.

People produce antibodies within days of getting infected - not weeks. What that means is that our immune systems already recognize this coronavirus and are prepared to fight it.

If getting covid is a good thing, because it gives you immunity - shouldn’t we be trying to catch it? Or better yet ignore it?

Or to put it more accurately: Getting infected with covid doesn’t mean the vaccines don’t work. The vaccines result in dramatically lower rates of hospitalization and death when taken prior to infection. The vaccines result in less serious cases. That is as far from not working as possible.”
