Research Shows Drug Reduces COVID Infection by Up to 70% – Already FDA Approved for Cholesterol

In this study...the team tested a panel of already licensed drugs – including fenofibrate – to identify candidates that disrupt ACE2 and Spike interactions...Importantly, reduction of infection was obtained using concentrations of the drug which are safe and achievable using the standard clinical dose of fenofibrate.

Is this drug on or off patent? If there is money to be made, CDC will maybe recommend its use.

[metmom]

Figures.

Can’t give people something inexpensive and effective like Ivermectin and HCQ (cause Trump recommended it) so they find their own drug to be the heroes and reformulate and make a fortune off of.

[metmom]

It doesn’t matter. They’ll do what they always do with meds when a patent is about to expire. Tweak it a little and get a new patent and charge your firstborn for it.

Now do Ivermectin.

I have tried every cholesterol lowering drug on the market and can’t take any of them. I guess I’ll have to stick with the ivermectin, Xlear, D3, Zinc/Quercetin, and C, plus a few more.

Didn’t China just come out to say cholesterol medicine worked for Covid? Wish I read the article instead of the just the headline now. I ignored it because I don’t trust anything China says.
Though I keep hearing about break through treatments (Ex:: nitric oxide) but then never any follow up. I know it takes time to study these things but I’d like to hear if any of this stuff actually worked

[Uncle Miltie]

Xlear?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

[dynoman]

Wow that’s twice as good as the vaccines after six months.

[Jane Long]

I prefer Xlear, over Flonase, for allergies.

Bonus!

8/11/2021 Major study of Ivermectin, the anti-vaccine crowd’s latest COVID drug, finds ‘no effect whatsoever’

[vetvetdoug]

I was taking Tricor, ivermectin, D3, and zinc and still got the Wuhan Delta variant that almost did me in. I wonder what the result would have been had I not been taking these adjunct drugs before I got the damn Chinese made virus?

[redgolum]

Here is my fear.

We don’t have a treatment. We don’t have any effective vaccines.

Everything is either supportive or barrier prevention. This slow walk back to lock down, and the slow admission that the jab isn’t as effective as advertised, is hinting that we are in the same situation and November 2020.

[mac_truck]

Now do Ivermectin.

Ineffective as a home remedy if you're infected with SARs-cov-2.

Sod off, Swampy.

Read this.

“The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 62 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 652 billion (p = 0.0000000000015).”

Thanks for your post.

It took them more time - 13 months - to finally test a FDA approved cholesterol drug than it took to manufacture and test a completely novel mRNA vaccine.

I still do not understand what the cost of the Pfizer vaccine is.

Medicare says $144 per shot. Many other sources say just $20.

In any event, they can mail you the cholesterol drug. The shot takes an entire clinic!

Yes, Xclear is a drug free nasal spray that has been found to kill the virus in the nasal passages. I bought 8 bottles so that I could give the kids all one. If it gets FDA approval to be used as COVID prevention you will see it disappear from the shelves or become a “drug”. I got my 4-packs at Amazon. Regardless of COVID it flat opens your sinuses. LOL It also kills flu and cold viruses. My daughter mentioned it to her boss at work and he said his mother put all of them on it when they were little and they absolutely have been cold and flu free since they were little.
