Top ivermectin expert says deworming drug does not treat COVID, that it poses no danger to humans if taken in the correct dose - and that people are getting sick because they're taking high-strength version intended for large animals Dr Timothy Geary is a renowned parasite expert and has studied ivermectin for over a decade He says the drug does not have any effectiveness fighting viruses, and a study showing that it can combat COVID-19 is being misinterpreted Concentrations of the drug used in the study are not safe for human use, and not applicable to the real world The drug has become popular in America, and many are resorting to using versions of the drug made for animals, which can have dangerous side effects

Dr Timothy Geary is one of the world's foremost experts of ivermectin, and has done research on the drug for over a decade.

Geary, who is the Research Chair in Parasite Biotechnology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, says that the study which spawned much of the ivermectin-craze is not being correctly read.

He told DailyMail.com that the study did show that ivermectin could inhibit the replication of COVID-19 virus cells, which is what many are reading from the study that makes them believe the drug has virus killing properties.

Many Americans are facing problems with ivermectin because they are not using the versions of the drug prescribed by doctors.

Instead, many are finding their own over-the-counter solutions, most notably going to local feed stores and buying medicine meant for horses, cows and sheep.

Prescribed versions of the drug come in pill form, while these versions are liquid.

The dosages are also much larger, meant for an animal that can weigh over 1,000 pounds, not a person that can weight less than one-fifth of that.

Taking doses too large can cause a person to have nausea, body pains, diarrhea limb swelling and other serious side effects.

In more serious cases, a person could overdose and suffer severe damage to their central nervous system, and potentially even die.

Some conservative figures have called for the drug to be used in Covid treatment regimens, though.

Sen Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican and early proponent of the drug, had his YouTube channel suspended in June after claiming the drug could treat Covid.

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have also promoted the drug as a treatment for the virus.

Sen Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said that the only reason further research was not being done into the drug’s effectiveness combatting Covid was due to hatred against former President Donald Trump.

“He told DailyMail.com that the study did show that ivermectin could inhibit the replication of COVID-19 virus cells, which is what many are reading from the study that makes them believe the drug has virus killing properties.”

I hate (not really) to correct the good doctor but the reason why so many doctors and their patients believe the drug has virus killing properties is because it has saved their lives.

Maybe he should talk to the 60-something year old woman and her family, in Buffalo, who was in a coma and waiting to die, who got ivermectin and walked out of the hospital.

Or all the doctors in India that crushed the covid curve with their ZIVERDO pack.

Or all the other doctors that have been using it successfully.

Amazing what prostitutes some of these doctors are.

The doctor admitted that Ivermectin could inhibit virus cell replication. If you do that early on, then your body can beat it. That’s what the advocates have been saying all along.

There is a difference between preventative measures and treatment. My understanding is that Invermection falls into the former category. But then I live in the age of Tide Pod Soup.

I am pro-Ivermectin. It works in ways that this Dr does not understand. Proof is in the pudding and Ivermectin has worked for many

Well, someone should tell the doctors in India, because they are using Ivermectin to kick the shit out of the Delta variant.

If i have parasites I’ll listen to this guy, if i have covid I will listen to those with an excellent first hand track record of treating covid in humans.

as for cdc and fda all they say is take the vaccine that has not been long term tested nor peer reviewed nor public debate.
there credibility is zero and should imo be first up for investigation.

fauci needs to be fired and investigated now.

Wow. Ivermectin (IVM) was invented in Japan.

Japan just recently put IVM on the treatment protocol saying, “Use it now”.

Somebody should tell the Japanese that their drug doesn’t work.

This is ridiculous. People are talking through their hats and counting on their reputations to clothe their nakedness.
How does this learned fool explain the distribution of cases & deaths in the African nations, as posted earlier today?

Ummmm...if it inhibits replication of the virus then doesn't it give your own immune system a much better chance to beat it?
