Health officials condemned ivermectin as a useless and even dangerous treatment for COVID-19. The media smeared the well-known and commonly used anti-parasitic drug as a “horse dewormer,” even though it has always been a human medicine as well. They mercilessly mocked people who thought the drug might help them.
But it turns out ivermectin can actually help certain people fight off COVID-19, according to science writer Scott Alexander.
In a lengthy blog post , Alexander took a deep dive into all available studies on ivermectin and whether it works against COVID-19. It’s worth reading in full, but I’ll highlight his main point: Ivermectin does work, albeit indirectly, especially in areas where parasitic and intestinal worms are common.
There’s a reason the most impressive ivermectin studies came from parts of the world where worms are prevalent, he says. Parasites suppress the immune system, making it more difficult for the human body to fight off viruses. Thus, getting rid of worm infections makes it easier for COVID-19 patients to bounce back from the virus.
If Alexander’s hypothesis is correct, he’s also right that everyone who hastily jumped to a conclusion about ivermectin was wrong. Ivermectin is not the COVID-19 cure that some made it out to be, but it’s also not useless in the fight against COVID-19 either. It does have some benefits — they’re just minimal and far less effective than other therapeutics, such as monoclonal antibody treatments.
“Experts” deserve much of the blame for ivermectin disinformation. Most of them refused to entertain the possibility that ivermectin might help COVID-19 patients. I’d be surprised if even one official in the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took the time to evaluate the data like Alexander did before publicly declaring it didn’t work.
It is also worth considering why so many people convinced themselves that ivermectin was a COVID-19 super-drug. Alexander argues that ivermectin fanaticism is connected to anti-vax sentiment in the sense that both are wacky pseudoscience beliefs to which certain people are attracted.
But there’s a much simpler explanation: Many of the same people who were drawn to ivermectin are wary of the COVID-19 vaccines because they are skeptical of the public health consensus in general. They see health officials stressing and, in some cases, mandating vaccination and are repelled by this. They see health officials rejecting ivermectin and other COVID-19 treatments as nonsense and are drawn to them. Their beliefs aren’t so much an embrace of pseudoscience as they are a flat rejection of an authority that has failed them.
Alexander gets at this point here:
The problem with this is much of the scientific establishment seems to want to come across as, to borrow Alexander’s phrase, hostile aliens. They don’t care whether the public trust their guidance or not. If they did, it would not have taken a science blogger to get to the bottom of what was happening with ivermectin. The CDC and FDA, the people who literally get paid to research these kinds of things, should have done that months ago.

Are covid and malaria connected
Not “Everyone”.
Just the ones who somehow profited from pushing the ‘vaccines’ and or spreading the fear in some way.
Can covid live without a host?
I have emails from someone on FR who gave Ivermectin to 3 separate people over the course of weeks. Each of the 3 rebounded to a shocking degree. HOrribly ill-Ivermectin-two hours later - almost completely recovered.
There may be an unwillingness on the part of the public to acknowledge that some independent researchers found parasites in some of the Covid vaccines. Whatever the reason - many countries, including Japan and populous portions of India, have experienced major improvements when adopting the use of Ivermectin.
RE: Are covid and malaria connected
Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans.
According to the writer, Parasites suppress the immune system, making it more difficult for the human body to fight off viruses. Thus, getting rid of worm infections makes it easier for COVID-19 patients to bounce back from the virus. At least that’s his theory.
There are in vitro studies that show that Ivermectin acts as a protease inhibitor. A Protease is an enzyme that the Covid virus needs to replicate. Inhibit this enzyme, stop the virus from replicating, at least that’s what was shown in the lab.
The interesting thing is the soon to be given EUA pill that Pfizer developed to treat Covid is also a protease inhibitor according to their research.
To me, if there’s a chance Ivermectin would help, why not take/give it? it’s not going to hurt and could help. Just like HCQ. Won’t hurt to try. Instead, Dem governors banned the use of both of these.

Depends if those Chinese bats had malaria.
This.🤔
Hydroxychloroquine was another drug that was demonized by the media and pro-vaxxers. My son has been taking prescription Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine), a malarial drug for his Rheumatoid Arthritis, twice a day for many years without any adverse side effects.
No, not "everyone."
Deep State was wrong.
Progs were wrong.
Big pharma, WAY wrong and criminal.
Money grubbing "hospitals" and their Go along to get along HCPs, wrong in the face of glaring evidence right before their eyes.
"News" organizations, criminally wrong.
Lots of normal people were not wrong after checking study after study that were denigrated by "experts," they were NOT wrong.
A very few brave people that were qualified to comment, they were NOT wrong.
So as usual the "common knowledge" and "Learned Concisis of opinion" by prog oriented people that tried to shove their beliefs down everyone's throat are now considering the necessity of pointing the finger of blame to the person on their left in their circle of doom.
.
If I recall “The Donald” mentioned ivermectin early as well as Hydroxychloriquine. ...
In contradiction to common sense, Anthony Fauci continually directed the world not toward already demonstrated treatments that were shown to work, but instead to forbidding effective treatments, raising the odds greatly of maximum complications and death, making up lies and blocking access to known useful therapies and threatening the medical world if they defied him. A megalomaniac. He hides behind the word, “science,” but has shown that he himself does not understand science or the medical arts of healing. One shudders to contemplate what his motives have been or whose words he is parroting.
What are we to make of a nation that calls experimental gene therapy a “vaccine”?
I believe in freedom. An individual should be able to get gene therapy, HCQ, Ivermectin, etc., if they choose. Why should anyone need a doctor’s prescription? No one should be compelled to take anything. When was the last time Americans had medical Freedom?
nform yourself on the aquisition and use of Ivermectin, that more than anything will defeat the Commies and also knock down the very excuse the Commies use to control the People.
IN FACT these commies do not want you to know about Ivermectin, thats why they ridicule the drug and its use at every turn and suppress the news of Ivermectin’s effectiveness.

The Governement misleads America:
1) mRNA vaccines DO NOT provide immunity of any kind.No antibodies.
2) mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmisson of the virus.
3) mRNA vaccines do attenuate Covid symptoms if the Covid mutant variant is vulnerable, for a limited period of 5 months ( Pfizer) to 6 or 8 months ( Moderna).
4) The mRNA vaccines do not work in the nasal cavity, in the pharnyx or in the lung, they only work in the blood stream, but give no protection to Covid involved organs.IVM does.
Thats why Ivermectin in your friend when taken within a few days of the infection or as prophylaxis.
Proof of Effectiveness of Ivermectin:
***************************************
How Ivermectin works:
There is reasonably solid evidence that ivermectin docks to the spike protein itself to prevent binding to the ACE2 receptor which is the primary pathology causing the tissue damage and clots related to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, this is also an implication that this ability of ivermectin to disable the binding of the Spike protein including the vaccine-produced spike proteins. This binding of ivermectin to disable the spike protein is also preserved even with the newer spike protein mutations, but its activity against the original Wuhan spike protein,(the one vaccines were designed to produce) is fairly well studied at this point.
Abstract:
Background/Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and Methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08.
Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection.
******************************
The following video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Bl2v3BR2M ] explains the multiple mechanisms of the activity of Ivermectin including the ability of the body to maintain its basic defense of the cell nucleus in preserving the body’s ability to produce antiviral proteins, inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase which inhibits the replication of viral RNA (possibly including that from the mRNA vaccine package), the stat 3 human signaling pathway which inhibits the production of blood clots also possibly mitigating some of the vaccines most dangerous side effects. Also discussed is the inhibition of the CD147 pathway by ivermectin which again may block the clumping of platelets due to spike protein either from the virus or possibly the vaccines.

2. Ivermectin will stop the China virus dead in it’s tracks. And Ivr doesn’t respect variants; it just works.>>>>>>>>>>>
Yep: You have to have a level of greater than 160 nanograms of IVM per liter of blood in your system, at that level it kills the virus. To get that level you need to take O.6 mgs of IVM per kilogram of body weight for 5 days or longer, along with Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Quercetin,,( See the protocol link above)Take with food to increase absorption rate.
Strange that certain anti parasitic drugs seem to help in treating Rona.

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.
