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.

WHY wasn’t this done a year ago?

Along with HCQ and ANY other potential treatment?

(rhetorical question)

So many people have blood on their hands for their handling of this disease. And it’s far from over yet, because I have my suspicions about what’s going to be happening in the long run (which is more than 10 months out) with those vaccines,

Why would a treatment negate the need for prevention? It never has before.

Oh sure, just cause it hasn't happened before means it's never going to happen, right?

Still shilling for big pharma, aren't you? How much are they paying you again?

Anyone who trusts pharma is a total idiot. THEY'VE proved that with their track record of bad vaccines and medicines marketed.

“the safety and efficacy of this drug in preventing and treating this illness is not yet proven,..”

The very same can be said about the MRNA vaccines, yet they are being deployed.

Of all the things that have thoroughly pissed me off during the entire Covid crisis, the blatant squashing of therapeutic research by our government officials has been the worst. It clearly points to profits (from vaccines) above saving lives.

RE: I also think the virus was engineered by China.

There is also evidence that WE ( yes, the USA ), used our tax dollars to fund the research in China that produced the gain of function Wuhan virus. Our motive might be benign ( i.e., the engineer it but also produce a cure for it ), but the involvement of our CDC cannot be overlooked.

They do seem particularly vulnerable to fevers.

"Oh sure, just cause it hasn't happened before means it's never going to happen, right?"

No, it isn't going to happen because the very concept is intrinsically nonsensical. Hence the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

"Still shilling for big pharma, aren't you? How much are they paying you again?

Clearly not nearly enough. Every day I go my mailbox hoping today's the day I'll get my "shilling for big pharma" check. Still waiting!

"Anyone who trusts pharma is a total idiot. THEY'VE proved that with their track record of bad vaccines and medicines marketed."

Which "bad vaccines" are those exactly? The smallpox vaccine that eliminated smallpox from the world? The polio vaccine that eliminated polio from the western world and has nearly eliminated it from the entire world? The whooping cough vaccine? The measles vaccine? Mumps? Rubella? Shingles? Tetanus? Diphtheria?

I'm old enough to remember those diseases. Most people alive today aren't. There's a reason for that.

[Charts for your other diseases look like the measels chart. Sanitary conditions for water and sewage vastly eliminated most of those diseases before vaccines were introduced.]

You seem to have selective memory.

Don’t the polio and small pox vaccines contain ACTUAL, respective viruses, in them?

And, these two (small pox and polio) are NOT mRNA agents (mNRA = genetic instructions/code that causes a person’s cells to produce proteins/genetically modified), either, that I know of, correct?

I’ve read that most polio today is from the vaccines of Gates’ programs... but that is all I know.

Are you saying most polio cases are from Gates’ vax program? Or, most vaccines are from his program?

Just trying to clarify. Thx.

Analysis: A short history of when vaccines went bad

https://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Analysis-A-short-history-of-when-vaccines-went-15530841.php

“For example, the so-called Cutter incident, when a laboratory mistakenly sent out batches of live polio virus (instead of inactivated cells as they should have), as the Association of American Medical Colleges wrote. Five kids died, and more than 100 patients were paralyzed.

An early version of the measles vaccine resulted in (you guessed it) a bunch of kids getting measles.

Children treated with a vaccine designed to combat respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) actually developed an “enhanced” version of the disease, as the AAMC wrote, resulting in two deaths.

As recently as 2017, a vaccine supposed to combat dengue fever actually was shown to cause a worse form of the disease.

The list goes on: As much as 30 percent of polio vaccines were contaminated with simian virus for eight years. The swine flu vaccine increased risk of Guillain-Barré Syndrome. The 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine caused narcolepsy in some patients.

And of course, there were glass particles in the HPV vaccine back in 2013.”

What focused my attention on vaccine duplicity were learning that vaccine makers have zero liability as legislated by Pharma persons lobbying Congress (including Fauci involvement), the lack of transparency in quality control, and the dismal tracking of long term side effects.*

* after awhile they let it slide and lawsuits fail because of Congressionally mandated legal immunity.

The above is a clearcut pathway foir abuse, coverup, corruption.

Add in the psychotic nature of Bill Gates’s mind and it should get your attention.
