I'm not a horse's a**, either--unlike the bureau-bumblers.
I watched 1 mg of Ivermectin restore someone's taste--which he'd lost to the Coup-Flu--in 3 hours. All other symptoms, including appearance, by next day. Total of dosages given: 2 mg.
And needless to say, no side effects, either--not that any were anticipated.
These stories are just ‘anecdotal’. Like the man in Australia who was in a hospital and the doctors asked the family if the would permit ventilating him. At the time, not a single person in that hospital who was put on a ventilator had survived. The family asked the doctor “if this was your father, would you ventilate him or try ivermectin first?” The doctor conceded he would try ivermectin so that is what they did. The ailing man snapped out of his stupor in hours. After checking his viral load, 3 days later they gave him another tablet. 2 days after that he was back at home.
