“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.
Belief and hope are the power duo of placebo effect and not to be discounted.
People who want a prescription for it should be given one, it’s cheap and does no harm in the correct form and dosage.
Then we wouldn’t have these math illiterate poisonings.
“ because it has saved their lives.”
But I thought survival was 99.97%?
You can’t have it both ways. Either it’s a lethal pandemic where running red lights is justified and indeed essential, or everybody survives in which case measuring a “lifesaving” effect is impossible.
If three deaths per 10,000 cases is true, you would have to treat ten million cases with ivermectin to measure a difference - which will never happen.
I got burned using HCQ after it was apparent it was ineffective, the ivermectin saga feels exactly the same.
It doesn’t “have virus-killing properties.”
It kills bacteria.
You don’t die from the flu or COVID-1984 viruses, you die from the opportunistic bacterial pneumonia it creates the conditions for.
This guy may be an expert on Ivermectin, but he’s not an expert on viruses.
My daughter took 3 pills prescribed for prophylactic use bought online and was better in 5 days. Her ex husband died 2 weeks after his second vaccination.
Now work and school want her and the youngest boys to get vaccinated.
Like a lot.
