A recently published study indicating the anti-parasitic ivermectin worked well as a prophylactic against the virus that causes COVID-19 should help sway critics of the drug, according to Dr. Pierre Kory, president of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).
“That should convince any naysayer,” Kory told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders.” “What they found was astounding.”
The Brazilian city of Itajaí launched a program that gave ivermectin to any residents that wanted any. The period that was studied was from July 7, 2020, to December 2, 2020.
Researchers found that the program, which had over 100,000 residents participate, was linked to a 44 percent drop in COVID-19 cases.
Talk about slow COVID! CDC chief gives NO sign of lifting virus rules despite cases dropping 35% nationwide, other countries abolishing mandates and bombshell study revealing that lockdowns only reduced deaths by 0.2%
Dr Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said she knows that Americans are anxious to return to ‘normal’ life but her agency is still waiting for hospitalizations and deaths to drop to make a decision
Covid cases in the U.S. are down 35% over the past week, with daily case averages falling below 400,000 for first time in 2022
Deaths are starting to crest as well, only up 6% in the past week after trending upwards 20% the week before, a sign they could still fall
Covid cases are dropping in 47 and 50 U.S. states as the Omicron variant seems to have burned out nationwide
Covid cases are continuing to fall in the U.S., but as some countries in Europe begin dropping pandemic-related mandates, American officials are showing no signs of wanting to do the same.
On Thursday, Sweden joined the list of countries to lay out plans to lift all restrictions next week. With daily infections falling rapidly and deaths starting to crest in America, many are hoping the U.S. will soon follow suit as the Omicron variant-fueled surge continues to wind down.
The Nordic nation joins the UK, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland as countries that have either lifted all restrictions or set plans in place to do so in the near future.
A bombshell study was published by Johns Hopkins University on Wednesday as well, finding that Covid related lockdowns in the U.S. only dropped deaths by 0.2 percent while also having potentially disastrous effects to sectors of the American economy.
The U.S. is currently averaging 394,741 cases per day, the first time the average has dropped below 400,000 in 2022, which is a 35 percent drop over the past week.
On Wednesday, Dr Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that she ‘[knows] people are anxious’ to return to normal life, but that it is not yet the right time to do so. The agency was asked later in the evening by Yahoo News to clarify her comments.
