Not very long after the pandemic lockdowns began last year, we heard of a potential treatment for COVID-19 involving the off-label use of an existing medication called Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
A French doctor published two studies which showed amazing results. Soon thereafter President Trump mentioned the drug in a press conference as a potential game changer. Dr. Fauci dismissed the studies as “anecdotal”.
Hospital trials and observational studies soon began but they quickly showed the medication to be ineffective as a prophylaxis or as a treatment. But in every study, there was something wrong. Either the dosage was way too high or too low, it was only given to patients in severe stages impossible to recover or without Zinc, which was imperative. It seemed as if only minutes later, HCQ and anyone who mentioned it were viciously attacked for promoting quacks and snake oil.
Then an observational study was published in prestigious medical journals that claimed HCQ was ineffective and dangerous, causing cardiac-related complications. Ongoing trials and testing were halted immediately, and the FDA issued a warning advising HCQ not be used to treat COVID. Then, for the first time in history, the FDA restricted doctors from prescribing an approved medication for off-label use. The WHO and the rest of the world immediately followed suit literally stopping all research and testing of HCQ overnight.
Months later we learn that same study was completely fabricated and fraudulent after an investigative journalist analyzed the data. The study was retracted, but the damage had already been done.
At the time, it defied logic for someone to sabotage such an effective and promising medication.
Then In December, Senator Ron Johnson (WI) held a hearing on potential treatment options for Covid-19. Dr. Pierre Kory was one of the first to testify and he explained that himself, and some of the country’s top practitioners in their field formed a group at the outset of the pandemic called Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, or FLCCC. Their sole objective was to find existing medications which could be repurposed to treat those with COVID. The doctor said they had discovered exactly that with Ivermectin. An FDA-approved medication introduced in 1981, it has been prescribed to over 3 billion people as an antiparasitic agent. Dr. Kory said the medication is proving to be a “wonder drug”, highly effective both as a prophylaxis and for early treatment of Covid-19.
8 months later we have witnessed the same disturbing pattern as we saw with HCQ. The group of doctors who brought news of the treatment to the public have been attacked, censored, and ridiculed. The video of the United States Senate hearing described above was even removed from YouTube. Studies and trials proving Ivermectin’s effectiveness were suppressed and marginalized. Clinical trials have been sabotaged using the same tactics as were used to affect the HCQ studies, and in one case, the conclusion of a study was rewritten after being submitted for peer review.
Through subterfuge and sabotage, censorship and subversion, reports of Ivermectin’s success have been stymied and contained in the United States.
But those powerful forces didn’t work everywhere.
Remember that it was not long ago when India was facing an overwhelming surge in cases and death. Remdesivir was widely administered and failed miserably.
Faced with an insurmountable humanitarian crisis of apocalyptic proportion, many areas of India were willing to try almost anything to stop the suffering and death. Ivermectin was introduced into the standard treatment protocol against WHO advisements. In those areas the virus was obliterated just as Dr. Kory described. Ivermectin stopped a raging surge of death in its tracks. The results were nothing short of miraculous.
With the successful results of India, the effectiveness of Ivermectin in treating COVID-19 is no longer debatable. Anyone can see that it is every bit of effective as Dr. Kory described during the senate hearing in December of last year. Yet the FDA warns against taking Ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. While the WHO advises that Ivermectin only be used to treat COVID-19 within clinical trials, and the NIH recommends that there is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel.
We know Ivermectin works. We know Ivermectin is safe, cheap, approved by the FDA, and available now. The obvious question is:
Why are the FDA, CDC and WHO suppressing Ivermectin?
From the FDA website it may be related to Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?
An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. Taking into consideration input from the FDA, manufacturers decide whether and when to submit an EUA request to FDA.
The Emergency Use Authorization for the COVID-19 vaccines is contingent upon “…no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.”.
If the CDC, FDA or WHO acknowledge the existence of an effective treatment, such as Ivermectin, then the pharmaceutical companies lose their cash-cow vaccines and their immunity from liability. The vaccine would be subject to normal safety requirements with which the vaccines arguably could not meet. Under the EUA, the safety standard of a medication is extremely low. For instance:
“…FDA must determine that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks of the vaccine.”
In other words, the minimum safety threshold is that it only helps more people than those it hurts. The lesser of two evils, and something is better than nothing comes to mind. If there were another more effective treatment option available, those emergency-calibrated standards would no longer apply.
With the quick emergence of variants, waning effectiveness of the vaccine’s protection and the spike in number of hospitalizations, we have no effective therapy for those getting sick. Like before, even after testing positive for COVID-19, the standard treatment outpatient recommendations are nearly the same as last year. Go home, rest, drink lots of fluids and wait for your lips to turn blue before going to the hospital.
An effective therapeutic and prophylactic treatment like Ivermectin is exactly what is desperately needed and needed now.
It is just what the doctor would have ordered if the doctor wasn’t conditioned, pressured and threatened of being ostracized to ignore his medical training and only follow the CDC guidelines.

They would lose more than government funding. They would lose their EUA and IF THE LAW IS FOLLOWED, would no longer be able to be administered.
Sure, if you mean they are buying doses from them, or reimbursing for doses from them.
The real reason was in order to get all these fast track status and emergency use authorization
if it was shown there were meds already effective afainst it they would not be able to get fast track sratus and it would take the normal 10-15 years of trials and studies

well now that the jab has been secretly approved no excuse not to approve ivermectin hydroxy etc...
of course they won’t do it because it will give people an out
Because of government funding? Maybe…..No
Because Blackrock and Vanguard would lose billions in government money? Absolutely YES.
Because the big hospital corporations would lose billions NOT treating patients but still getting paid? Absolutely YES.
The ZIVERDO pack developed by the Indians is $2.95.
Let Blackrock or Vanguard figure out a way to sell them for $295 or more and it’ll be ZIVERDO packs for everyone.
add this. India is bring criminal charges against the WHO and Merck

I’d say that is certainly ONE of the reasons.
It’s also effective for those who have taken the risky shots, from what I’ve heard.
Can’t have that!
They don’t call it Big Pharma for nothing.

I disagree that its all money. The company that they call an NGO who funded the Wuhan Lab was previously called “The Wildlife Trust”. Their previous incarnation was changed to the EcoHealth Alliance” which has created virus’ that stop human population growth. They use US federal money to research virus’. They used to help wildlife by protecting the rain forest and buying land. Then they decided that the human population was the real problem to climate change and deforestation.
Then we disagree. No worries.
It could be both.
Especially given that maniac CornPop was trying to get nominated. But he also has 3 Blackrock executives working in his admin.
well, yeah...

The approval process wasn’t a secret. Pfizer and BioNTech submitted some 340,000 pages in their application for full approval.
“Are Effective COVID Medications Like Ivermectin Being Suppressed Because Their Successful Treatments Could Cause Vaccines to Lose Government Funding?”
In a short answer, yes.
To expand on that answer, still yes. There have proven to be so many advantages to a regime bent on instituting a command-and-control economy on the territory once known as “the United States of America”, at the expense of the formerly free, capitalist-based, representative republic it once was, that it is hard to give up that new-found route to perpetual political power. Doing so by incremental means, just tinkering around the edges, to chip away at the firm foundations of the Great American Experiment, just was not fast enough any more, and besides, the frog in the pan of warming water on the stove was getting ready to jump out.
Now, the enormous amount of research and high-level scientific research has produced several pathways to overcoming the ravages of this new disease that was unleashed upon the world, but there were already effective means of controlling the disease, once the existing drugs and medical preparations were determined to be curative, and repurposed to this use.
But these other treatments spoiled the game almost before it was well launched, and had to be suppressed by any means available, including just plain denial of any efficacy that could be attributed to the existing medications.
For starters, one thing was clear. Masks. Do. Not. Work. Not then, definitely not now, and perhaps not ever, given the state of technology being applied to making various kinds of breathing masks, which work perfectly well for screening out dust particles, but are totally ineffective against anything so small as the COVID-19 Wuhan virus particle.
And yet, the command-and-control regime demands them everywhere, whether even remotely effective or not.
People do not die directly from a COVID-19 Wuhan virus infection. Most often, it is from a secondary infection, or an overly powerful response of the body’s own immune system kicking to counter and contain the virus. Either way, a compromised immune system plays a major part in the morbidity of the infection, and may have, in other circumstances, caused the death of the individual anyway, just on a more accelerated timetable.
For this, among other reasons, is how the infection kills. Delaying effective treatment until the progress of the disease has escalated to a level that overwhelms the body’s natural defenses, is both poor management, and misplaced emphasis on timeliness, making swift decisions only after the later stages set in.

difficult to keep up with the number of frauds being committed...
....kinda like a biden speech
