Could?

How about getting back to us when it says DOES.

OK. Sounds great.

Or, you could just go with what works, which is HCQ/zinc.

There’s always that.

The Ivermectin “Triple therapy protocol” has been in use very successfully in Australia for a bit now.

The guy championing it is no lightweight.

https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/ivermectin-triple-therapy-protocol-covid-030000687.html

This article also bags on HCQ which is and has been shown to reduce mortality in Belgium and other significant studies. Anyone claiming it doesn’t work is politically motivated.

The triple therapy is a more refined therapy and in my judgment will probably replace HCQ/Azi if honest trials were held. The science behind it is solid. In a real world, HCQ and AZI would have been used widely as an early treatment in the pandemic pending new and better science — in my judgment, this is new and better.

Even Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, the doctor who made Hydroxychloroquine well known in the USA, is now incorporating Ivermectin in his treatments against CoVid-19.

You can pick it up at the local vet supply. Horses like the Apple flavor, but you won’t need the whole tube, that’s the horse size dose. It works great on worms.

Meanwhile keep lying about HCQ and letting people die needlessly. These people need to know we see right through them. THEY LIE!

How long before Fauci declares the study “flawed” and the FDA bans the drug as “dangerous”?

Plus, those treated with it don’t have worms afterward!

Could, as in “was able to.”

Poor writing.

RE: How about getting back to us when it says DOES.

SEE HERE:

https://nypost.com/2020/08/09/is-there-a-cure-for-anti-trump-disease-devine/

Clinical trials on his ivermectin triple therapy are about to start in California and are underway in 32 other countries.

But results using the drug off-label have been promising.

In Bangladesh, 400 patients with mild to moderate symptoms were treated and 98 percent cleared the virus within four to 14 days.

In the Dominican Republic, in 1,300 patients the average duration of infection fell from 21 days to 10 days.

And in sick patients at Broward County Medical Center in Florida, mortality fell by 48 percent.

The results have been so remarkable that the government of the most populous Indian state, Uttar Pradesh, approved the use of ivermectin for COVID-19 patients and as a prophylactic for front-line workers.

But Borody has not been able to find a drug company interested in paying for clinical trials for a cheap drug that won’t reap them profits.

I Would not try it without competent doctor’s supervision.

What? You would take medical advice from some anonymous dude on the internet, who is advocating horse medication? What is wrong with you? Most of the country are listening to some dude on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, or Fox News and following their advice to the letter.
