A national shortage and tenfold increase in Australians importing ivermectin in August has sparked a warning from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) against the use of the medicine, which is typically used to deworm livestock, as a treatment for Covid-19.
Amid growing reports in the United States in recent weeks of people calling poison information hotlines over self-medicating with ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19, a spokesperson for the TGA told Guardian Australia there had been a massive increase in people bringing the drug into Australia.
“The TGA works closely with the Australian Border Force to detect potentially unlawful imports of therapeutic goods for assessment by the TGA. As a result of this work, detections of ivermectin have increased significantly, more than tenfold,” a spokesperson said.
Amid the country’s largest Covid outbreak still surging in New South Wales, there was a shortage of local supply of ivermectin, which is approved for use in humans for treating issues such as river blindness and threadworm, in August, the TGA said.
“An unexpected increase in consumer demand resulted in a recent shortage of Stromectol 3mg ivermectin tablets between 2 August 2021 to 20 August 2021. This shortage has been resolved.”
The concern over the increased importation led to the TGA last week issuing a public statement against people using the drug for Covid-19 treatment.
“Ivermectin is a prescription medicine that is not approved in Australia (or in other OECD countries) to prevent or treat Covid-19 disease, and should not be imported for this indication,” the regulator said.
“The TGA strongly discourages self-medication and self-dosing with ivermectin for Covid-19 as it may be dangerous to your health. There is insufficient evidence to validate the use of Ivermectin in patients with Covid-19.”

He was labelled a murderer and a paedophile and also given death threats
by Aditi Rane
Phillip Norton, a BBC Look North reporter, was in Scarborough yesterday for work when he was ambushed by protesters who gathered around him and proceeded to hurl abuse at him.
One protester spoke on a megaphone and said “the trials would be coming on the first of September” and “you will all be hanging”...
The man said: “You will hang for what you’ve done to this country, and so will the clown, and so will the despicable MPs that you are supporting. The nooses are ready, trust me.”
“We’ve been watching you for a long time, you are criminals,” he said, before later claiming: “We’re not going to be violent, we’re not going to intimidate you, but you have no place to be out here right now.”
The man said he had travelled 50 miles “just to get you lot” and told the BBC team: “You ain’t gonna be able to walk the streets, trust me.”...

An officer is then heard telling Monica:
“We’re just from the Springvale police station. At the moment, we need to have a chat with you about a matter of incitement. So I need to place you under arrest”.

I loathe the fact that I have to resort to this animal drug treatment and can't get pills from a medical doctor....
but this is what they do to us....
If Ivermectin (and HCQ) didn’t work the health nazis would not be trying so damn hard to stamp it out because people would figure it out.
Agreed. Been using the stuff for a while
now. I feel fine. Just remember you don’t
weigh the same as a horse.
Advice being given is not to use it.
It’s just another example of the media
covering up big pharma’s intentions.
Are they going to start blowing up ivermectin factories next? They did it with hcq.
Anything that helps people at all, the governments are making them very hard to get.
India and some African countries have been using Invermectin and HCQ for months with dramatic results.
Emory University has a very prestigious medical school. The Dean of Emory Medical School has Indian heritage, and co-wrote an article in the Times of India advocating using Ivermectin against Covid, among other things. This has gotten =ZERO= coverage in US media, including his hometown paper, the AJC, and his hometown news network, CNN.
Try to convince me that isn’t newsworthy - both his original article and the non-coverage of it by US media.
The only possible explanation for the suppression of Ivermectin use leads directly to conspiracy theories involving Big Pharma, Big Media, Big Government Public Health, and Big Tech. And money.

It is impermissible for any mainstream media source to publish a negative article about Ivermectin without the magic words “you are not a horse” or “you are not a cow”. “Y’all” is optional, but strongly recommended.
More alarmist BS. Invermectin was approved for human use by the FDA in 1987. Since then it has been used to control parasitic and viral infections in humans. It is an oral dosage with minimal documented side effects. Why are they lying?
