I've been watching Bret Weinstein's interview with Dr. Pierre Kory (M.D.) on the alleged suppression of Ivermectin as a therapeutic for COVID-19.
The claim is that a meta-analysis of Ivermectin studies -- none of which are the highest quality study -- show an obvious and huge benefit to using the drug.
Put another way, the "signal" that the drug works is so strong that it is obvious in any kind of study no matter the quality. And when you consider all the studies together (meta-analysis), the effectiveness of the drug is nearly beyond doubt.
So why aren't we using it to help end the pandemic?
Because there are lots of doubters.
Why?
It's the Trump-Hydroxychloroquine problem.
As we all remember, Trump's promotion of Hydroxychloroquine caused the entire media complex to brand him a dangerous moron because the studies showing the drug is effective were low quality. Anyone who agreed with Trump got branded anti-science and dangerous.
Then comes Ivermectin. It's the "same thing" but with a different drug. It's cheap, known to be safe, easy to get, and already in the market. No one wants to be the next idiot promoting something like a Trump drug.
Fake news might have killed millions of people worldwide because demonizing Hydroxychloroquine made it impossible for serious professionals to consider Ivermectin without risking their careers and reputations. It was just too similar.
That's the persuasion filter on this situation. I don't have an opinion on whether Ivermectin works, but the story is fascinating.
Ping for your interest
....but the Trump “Warp Speed” Vaccine is working great!
Be aware it can cause lymph node issues should you be in the process of any testing..scans..etc.
just as soon as everyone and his dog has been vaccinated then maybe big pharma will “allow” a therapeutic to be approved.
Our Dear Lord and Savior St. Fauci has not blessed the horse paste, so BEWARE THE EVIL HORSE PASTE!
The reason ivermectin is not recognized by the FDA is that if they did then the emergency use authorization of the experimental vaccines would have to be withdrawn.
And that is it the plan...
Someone does not want there to be an effective preventative or therapeutic drug treatment for Covid -19.
Ivermectin is a better preventative for covid than any of the vaccinations.
Da Horse Paste ‘ll kill ya!!!
I want apricot flavored.
You dont have to do horse paste. This is pretty easy to get from myfreedoctor.com
Orange man bad.
Short man good.
Not without a patent.
We’re “not using it” because Trump said it might be useful thus tainting the drug so that is useless at best and consigns one to hell at worst.
Trump developed those shots, you know!
🙃🙃
Bingo!
Myfreedoctor guy has been nominated for a nobel prize. Never going to happen but at least he was nominated
Oops - “not” the plan
A critical aspect of the Emergency Use Authorization for vaccines is for there to be no other viable treatments for covid. That is why Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have been smeared as much as they have. Also include the profit incentive of mass injections vs a less than $1 per pill treatment. The U.S. medical system follows the dollars, not the science.
