Ivermectin to undergo rigorous clinical trial as Covid treatment
American Thinker ^ | 8 Feb, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 02/08/2021 5:07:37 AM PST by MtnClimber

The cheap, generic, anti-parasite drug Ivermectin finally is to undergo rigorous clinical trials in a first world nation for use in fighting Covid-19.

The cheap, generic, anti-parasite drug Ivermectin finally is to undergo rigorous clinical trials in a first world nation for use in fighting Covid-19. Japan has been hit with a second wave of Covid cases, and as result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (population: 13.8 million) is looking for approaches which could minimize stress on available hospital beds. Nikkei Asia reports (Nikkei is Japan’s leading busines daily, comparable to the Wall Street Journal):

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to conduct clinical trials of the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin at metropolitan and public hospitals to assess its effectiveness against COVID-19, Nikkei has learned.

Clinical trials will be conducted on patients with mild symptoms. Patients who are hospitalized mostly have moderate or serious symptoms. The metropolitan government will finalize the details of the study, including the size and duration of clinical trials, after the infection situation settles down.

The Tokyo government hopes to support the trials using some beds at metropolitan and public hospitals. Ivermectin will be given to patients with mild symptoms, comparing their response with those receiving a placebo.

Sure, Jan.

Nice try. No sale.

YOU tied PDJT to the leftist tag.

You said it....own it.

Again, as metmom so concisely explained....he had NO choice but to put out a vax, at warp speed, for the leftist jackals in the MSM and elsewhere.

Has PDJT had this ‘vax’, yet?

Oh....and, ‘plenty safe’ is a matter of opinion.

Keep that in mind as you push this experimental agent so hard.

Thx.

No, I will not allow others to put words into my mouth that aren't what I said and are against what I believe and no amount of badgering and name calling is going to change that.

This conversation isn't going anywhere productive. Just end it.

Spanish flu, which was far more deadly and ravaged the world with no treatment, finally died out on its own.

COVID is nowhere near being in the same category and with an actual death rate of less than most flus, does not warrant the extreme over reaction to it and the pushing of a vaccine of questionable efficacy.

If someone wants to take it themselves, fine, but evidence at this stage of the game most certainly does NOT support the claims of its safety and efficacy. That’s just trolls infiltrating conservative forums to try to influence them to cave on the issue and trust both the government and big pharma.

And both have a track record which does not justify ANY trust in them.

“Not having any polio patients.”

There is no problem with polio with proper sanitation and nutrition. Polio was reduced in part simply by redefining what Polio was. And Dr Fred Klenner brought people out of iron lungs with vitamin C therapy.

All vaccination reduces base level immunity to other illnesses not vaccinated against. It is a whack-a-mole strategy to medicine and it is a joke when used as a one-size-fits all policy. We have a country full of fat people and a majority of the population that has some degree of diabetic condition (the top of the pyramid for most disease), and conventional medicine’s answer is to make the immune system worse, and write then prescriptions for symptoms.

Conventional medicine and pharma are a disaster for the Republic.

I see that Mexico City’s cv19 hospitalizations and deaths are dropping like a rock now that they have adopted Ivermectin as cv19 prophylaxis. Several other countries have adopted Ivermectin as their cv19 home treatment.

Here’s YOUR very own words, troll....

Operation Warp Speed is President Trump’s program. It’s spent about $12.4 Billion on the vaccines program.

Are you willing to say that President Trump is a leftist?

And, just like a typical, lefty troll you try to deny....then, when cornered claim ‘name calling’ and ‘badgering’, when, in fact...YOU are the one doing exactly that....

Accusing posters of fearmongering...

This fearmongering is no better than the fearmongering claims that these rewrite your DNA or install Bill Gates microchips in you or are mind control devices created with DNA from space aliens. It’s all just there to try and scare people into changing their decision about what’s best for their own health and wellbeing. And it’s wrong.

Now that you’ve been totally busted, n00bie troll, I will give you this....you’re correct that ‘this conversation isn’t going ANYWHERE productive’.

Stop pushing your leftist style attacks and EXPERIMENTAL ‘vax’ agent on folks and accept that MANY, here, have done and will continue to do due diligence on ANYTHING that the govt is pushing this hard for.

Are there Pharma reps here on FR promoting CV19 shots?

Who would have thought we would learn something from the great country to the south of us? And they are a great and beautiful country in so many ways.

They just have a lot of problems, a lot of poverty, a lot of crime, Cartels.

El Salvador has a home kit with Ivermectin and vitamin C among other things.

“Plenty safe” could be described as a marketing slogan aimed at people with limited skills in discernment, understanding, logic, wisdom etc.

Great post.

I wonder if Mexico has the same pack/kit.

We need that same kit, HERE, Dr FRAUDci!!!

After getting a true vaccine, like for polio or measles, you will not get sick from that disease. We do not have a true vaccine for COVID-19.

"After getting a true vaccine, like for polio or measles, you will not get sick from that disease."

Vaccines are never 100% effective.

The vaccine for Polio is 90% effective after 2 doses and 99% effective after 3. That's with the good version (not the cheap version used in most of the world). One dose of the measles vaccine is about 93% effective and two doses is about 97% effective. Again, not 100%, even with the best versions available.

The smallpox vaccine that wiped smallpox off the face of the Earth is 95% effective. The pneumonia vaccine is 60-70% effective. The seasonal flu vaccine is typically 40-60% effective.

So saying that the COVID-19 vaccines - at 95% effectiveness - aren't vaccines because they aren't 100%? That's incorrect.

Agree.

I haven’t seen ANYTHING confirming or GUARANTEEING the effectiveness of these experimental shots/agents, have you?

I have seen studies confirming the survivability rate of China flu, as well as the effectiveness of prophylactics and treatments, like Ivermectin, though.

"-By referring to COVID-19 vaccines as “vaccines” rather than gene therapies, the U.S. government is violating its 15 U.S. Code Section 41, which regulates deceptive practices in medical claims"

There is no genetic manipulation taking place. No DNA is touched. So it is not deceptive at all.

"-The mRNA injections are gene therapies that do not fulfill a single criteria or definition of a vaccine"

They don't touch DNA (or even enter the nucleus). And they prevent the disease with 95% effectiveness, making them some of the most effective vaccines ever developed.

"-COVID-19 “vaccines” do not impart immunity or inhibit transmissibility of the disease. They only are designed to lessen your infection symptoms if or when you get infected. As such, these products do not meet the legal or medical definition of a vaccine"

They do impart immunity via the normal immune response. They illicit production of T-cells and neutralizing antibodies. Further, the levels of neutralizing antibodies present suggest they should inhibit transmission of SARS-CoV-2, however that hasn't been specifically studied yet. The initial studies have all been to ensure they're safe and effective.

"-Since a vast majority of people who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 have no symptoms at all, they’ve not even been able to establish a causal link between the virus and the clinical disease"

40% of people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic. 40% have mild symptoms (like a cold or allergies). 20% require medical intervention. 5% are hospitalized. 3% end up in the ICU. 0.65% die.

"-By calling this experimental gene therapy technology a “vaccine,” they are circumventing liability for damages that would otherwise apply"

They're not experimental. They're not gene therapy. They are vaccines. And the manufacturers are protected from liability because 35 years ago, anti-vaxxers tried suing every vaccine maker out of business with an avalanche of court cases based on nonsense claims. Congress stepped in in 1986 to ensure we wouldn't see a comeback of polio and other childhood diseases.

"Are there Pharma reps here on FR promoting CV19 shots?"

I don't work for big pharma, but I would recommend everyone do their own research at reputable sources of information (not conspiracy theory websites promoting fearmongering nonsense) so they can make their own informed decisions about what's best for themselves and their health.

I trust Dr Mercola. He’s a D.O. and he has a very successful practice. Mercola is on the right side on medicine, politics and understanding what is going on in the world.

His customers (like me) like him and support him. My own wellness MD, who is well known where I live, would support what he wrote.

There you have it, two people who are probably most responsible for my health and wellness. I hold them in high regard.

And then there is you, who just joined during the plandemic/scamdemic/casedemic and does nothing but promote the BS narrative, promote Pharma, promote vaccines and indirectly promote the Dem position on vaccines.

We know very well that if you could, you would shut down people like Mercola. You oppose the free flow of health-related info on social media. You would shut down wellness clinics. That’s who you are. I know it.

“After getting a true vaccine, like for polio or measles...”

Actually virtually all cases of polio in the past 40 years have come from the vaccine itself. And whatever protection there is, is only temporary.

Being vaccinated for measles makes one more susceptible to atypical forms of measles. Following the WHO advice and taking 200000 IU vitamin A for 2 days (or some variation) might be much safer. Or just make sure that your dietary intake of vitamins A, Bcomplex, C, D3, K plus zinc and iodine are high enough, and you will very likely never have a problem with any viral illness.

“We do not have a true vaccine for COVID-19.”

And we never will.
