Covid: Ivermectin to be studied as possible treatment in UK
BBC ^ | June 2021

Posted on 06/27/2021 10:39:00 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Despite the lack of good evidence so far, Ivermectin has been taken up by doctors or by individuals self-medicating in countries including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, South Africa and the US.

In the US, provider SingleCare said 817 prescriptions had been filled for Ivermectin (which can also be used to treat skin conditions such as rosacea) in January and February 2021, compared with 92 in the same period last year.

Dr Stephen Griffin at the University of Leeds said, "much like hydroxychloroquine before, there has been a considerable amount of off-label use of this drug," based mainly on studies of the virus in the lab, not in people.

"The danger with such off-label use is that...the use of the drug becomes driven by specific interest group or proponents of non-conventional treatments and becomes politicised," he said, adding this trial should provide a "final answer" to whether or not Ivermectin should be used to treat coronavirus.

The Oxford team said they had selected Ivermectin to be included in the trial because it was "readily available globally" and known to be relatively safe (although, like most things, it can be toxic at very high doses).

Of the six other drugs in the Principle study of Covid treatments to be taken at home, only one - inhaled steroid budesonide - has so far proved effective.

Although, sister project the Recovery trial, of treatments for hospital patients, also discovered another steroid, dexamethasone, could treat Covid, which has been credited with saving more than 20,000 lives in the UK.

I did see an article suggesting that the UK intentionally designed their Ivermectin trial to fail in order to ban its use.

"Despite the lack of good evidence so far..."

That was written by a simpleton author who has not read any of the test results from a wide variety of studies from around the world. The author has clearly not educated himself or herself about real-world results.

I saw that article, too. I think it was yesterday. They selected people with late-stage symptoms or moderate disease.

Will they skew the tests, again?

Hopefully, they’ll use best practices, already successfully in place, in SEVERAL countries.

The Argentinian study protocol is the one that I chose to follow. I think that there’s ample evidence of ivermectin’s effectiveness, and it’s harmless to boot, so why not take it?

With Ivermectin, the key is early treatment. Naturally, the UK will test Ivermectin late.

The US spiked a study on HCQ that way, and tested it without the standard AZ co-medication. Then claimed they had proof it didn’t work. Murderers. Mass murderers.

“so why not take it?”

If it cures you, you won’t take their vaccine.

"this trial should provide a 'final answer' to whether or not Ivermectin should be used to treat coronavirus."

So even if this trial is designed to fail, we should ignore all the other evidence.

I have a very bad feeling about how this Oxford study is designed.

Doesn’t matter. They have played out the clock so they’ll beyond emergency use experimental “vaccines” to fully authorized “vaccines”, whereby they’ll mandate poisonous injections from everyone (except them, of course).

“Despite the lack of good evidence so far,”

Remember that is the spin from the commie BBC. Just like all their accomplices in the MSM.

Unlikely to succeed. The study will be skewed to fail. I hope I am wrong. I really do. If it fails the EUA becomes null and void and the money train stops.

First of all any idiot that PRETENDS THAT he doesn’t know at this point, a year and a half later , that the seventy year old malaria drug hydroxy CloroQuinn and the horse antiviral intervactjn. are good at fighting Covid

you’re a liar

No I’m going to diverge a little bit because Covid is a giant hoax of communist plot thrust upon the world to try to implement the global reset

You may think it’s the scariest bug that’s ever come down the pike but it’s

Colloidal silver kills ALL ( 650 known. ) bacteria. Viruses and fungi

Plain and simple the government lies to you about this

the medical community lies to you about this

They lie about silver which is been around thousands of years was in the 1920s the number one antibacterial compound and still is the number one snti bacterial compound

There are a lot of other bugs out there that they seem to have forgotten about influenza typhoid pneumonia you name it

You need to protect yourself against all of these bugs all the time

Bacteria as well E. coli and many others

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7167925/

Here is the abstract

Antibacterial Activity of Colloidal Silver against Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacteria

Andrea Vila Domínguez, Rafael Ayerbe Algaba, [...], and Younes Smani

Additional article information

Abstract

Due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, new alternative therapies are needed. Silver was used to treat bacterial infections since antiquity due to its known antimicrobial properties. Here, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of colloidal silver (CS) against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. A total of 270 strains (

Notice his they say ANTIQUITY. casually

What you have seen with hydroxy Clora Quinn a blatant in your face attempt by the media to deny the truth

They tried to do a silver , but it is very weak on their part at this point

They know that they’re lying and the truth is so old that they really can’t even do it anymore

Colloidal silver can be made for free in your kitchen

with
3 9V batteries
silver electrodes
and distilled water
( and a digital meter to be an engineer about it )

Let’s put it this way

what other antibacterial can you get ; without the government of pharmacy or big Pharma?

Well I’ll answer that

Natural foods of course!

I’m just gonna bring up garlic ; and leave it at that

So again

from an engineering and biochemical perspective ;

you must consistently maintain defenses against assaults by
viruses
bacteria
mold and fungi

You have a delicate balance of helpful bacteria in your gut ; that you don’t want to assault , using conventional antibiotics

Have a nice day

Truth over power

budesonide is used for asthma and bronchitis.
