This second US Senate committee hearing, convened by Senator Ron Johnson, featured six distinguished witnesses:

These were very in depth discussions not only on early treatment, especially with Ivermectin, but also on the bigger picture of the devastating health, social and economic effects of the C19 crisis.

Here is a summary video of 30 min.

Absent from the first session, Senator Rand Paul was present and engaged the witnesses with important questions, including about RCTs. Senator Josh Hawley was also present, online, and asked questions about the implications of how the response to C19 was implemented in the US.

Other US Senators member of the committee, including Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, did not participate.

Democrat, ranking member, Senator Peters, was present, blasted the hearing and the witnesses even before listening to them, and did not ask a single question.

A Protocol for the Prevention and Early Treatment of COVID-19 in Nursing Homes

Watch Senator Peters leaving the room just after the first witnesses are sworn. Clearly, he seems to be determined to remain ignorant about early treatment for C19 and does not even have the courtesy and decency to listen to the distinguished witnesses.

Two opponents of early outpatient treatment and of the use of cheap generic repurposed drugs were very much on the mind of those testifying throughout the hearing … See here rebuttal to Jha’s testimony, who was presenting the Medical establishment / Fauci / Democrat line, at first hearing.

Here is an excerpt, where Dr Pierre Kory makes the case for Ivermectin, a generic drug that the NIH does not recommend using outside clinical trials.

This is heartbreaking, this is very difficult, says Dr Rajter.
"Ivermectin is effective, in early disease, in late disease, in prophylaxis. It is safe, inexpensive, widely available. It could be implemented as a World Health Organization measure." pic.twitter.com/TozcQJYAxX— Jean-Pierre K. (@jpkiekens) December 8, 2020

The subject at hand is never the subject.

The subject is always power.

They want it, and every subject is a lever to achieve power over you.

Point of information - MDs have no training in research or quantitative analysis. Even if you agree with these guys, MDs are practitioners. They are not researchers. Most medical schools want professors who are MD PhDs.

Excellent hearing. Should give doctors courage to prescribe early treatment with inexpensive therapeutics like ivermectin.

“Download full out patient treatment from

Evms.edu/covidcare

Includes ivermectin"

Page 8 of the PDF lays out the protocol.
Money line is Ivermectin 0.2mg/kg on day one of symptoms and again on day 3 ( Also multiple supplements required, so read up.) I interpret that as .2mg per kg? So I weigh 100 kilos, therefore 20mg is that the dosage??? No idea how much that is of the .21oz tube of Horse Ivermectin that you can buy on Amazon. The box says it treats up to an 1250 pound horse. So that is 1/6 of a tube for two hundred pounds, but I have no idea if that's a therapeutic human dose for Covid?
