Because ivermectin was a miracle drug, it was awesome before covid-19
I would love to see one damn set of full clinical trials to get the use of ivermectin approved in the treatment of COVID-19 (DELTA). However, the problem with ivermectin and other alternate treatments is it requires a tremendously expensive procedure (clinical trials) to get them approved for use. The major pharmaceuticals are not apt to finance it given the financial situation. To get the financing you will need an organized effort and that could open up the door to people taking the money to their offshore banks (like Clinton did with the Haiti relief money).
I'd like to know what those 20 other viruses are.
I had my brother pick up a bottle I had ordered. It’s at his house in a cool “just in case I need it” location. I tried to order another one . . . they canceled my order. Trying for the pills now.
It’s already approved. It’s just not approved specifically for covid on the label. But that shouldn’t matter either because it has long been accepted by the FDA, doctors and pharmacists that an approved drug may be used for other ailments it wasn’t specifically approved for (so-called “off label uses”). All that went out the window as covid was weaponized and politicized.
You are absolutely right, and the authors of this article missed one important point at least in this piece. True there is no financial sponsor willing to investigate it and run a good clean trial because it is a cheap generic. They won’t get their investment back (and given the politics they might not even get the political support to conduct the study). But that too doesn’t matter. Taxpayers shelled out hundreds of billions of dollars to fight this virus. We could have put a few million to enroll an ivermectin trial using so-called surrogate markers such as viral load, time to negative test, oxygen levels, chest x-rays and other data points that would show (or not) evidence of efficacy. If that worked we could have started using it, and/or run a second larger confirmatory trial. It would have taken just a few weeks. We had millions of cases out there. Take 1000 people with positive covid test, randomize them into 2 balanced groups (balanced by age, sex, severity of disease etc) and give half of them IVM. See which group turns out better at days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14. That is “science”.
There was a small study that did basically that. I think it was in Israel but not sure. They had people who flew into the airport and stopped because of symptoms or exposure. They were put into quarantine hotels. Some researchers gave IVM to half of those quarantined. They cleared the virus from their system some 2.5x faster than the non-IVM group.
What these jerks in charge of our policy did was actively subvert science for their own enrichment, ego and political power.
The key is to always treat early. You don’t go to the hospital with a broken leg only to be told to go home and come back if it gets worse. You don’t hear an oncologist say “you have cancer so let’s wait a few months to treat it”.
IMO they should have been handing out sealed packets of pills containing the HCQ+ (or the IVM+) regimen at every test site that said “break open in case of positive test” so anyone who got the bad news could start fighting it that very minute. Hell given the general safety of these they could have probably started taking them before they even got the test results. It’s only a few days worth of pills.
I read somewhere that molnupiravir (Merck’s covid pill) costs 712 dollars per course. The government has already committed to buying over a billion dollars of it, despite the fact it has not yet been approved for emergency use, let alone full approval.
Ivermectin costs about 6 cents per pill, and an average size person takes 6-8 pills per day in one course of treatment, for 5-10 days.
Also read a doctor’s comments elsewhere that the early trials of molnupiravir show it’s about half as effective as ivermectin.

If only we had a President to push the FDA to begin clinical studies of Ivermectin funded by Operation Warp Speed while simultaneously procuring a billion doses to distribute in case the study proved effective. But those tweets!
There are several double blind, randomized control trials here: https://ivmmeta.com/
“Ivermectin proposes many potentials effects to treat a range of diseases, with its antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties as a wonder drug. It is highly effective against many microorganisms including some viruses. In this comprehensive systematic review, antiviral effects of ivermectin are summarized including in vitro and in vivo studies over the past 50 years. Several studies reported antiviral effects of ivermectin on RNA viruses such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile, Hendra, Newcastle, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, chikungunya, Semliki Forest, Sindbis, Avian influenza A, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Human immunodeficiency virus type 1, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Furthermore, there are some studies showing antiviral effects of ivermectin against DNA viruses such as Equine herpes type 1, BK polyomavirus, pseudorabies, porcine circovirus 2, and bovine herpesvirus 1. Ivermectin plays a role in several biological mechanisms, therefore it could serve as a potential candidate in the treatment of a wide range of viruses including COVID-19 as well as other types of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. In vivo studies of animal models revealed a broad range of antiviral effects of ivermectin, however, clinical trials are necessary to appraise the potential efficacy of ivermectin in clinical setting.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32533071/
Me too! I'd also like to see a full investigation into the FISA abuses. And a full investigation into the after hours ballot stuffing simultaneously in several key states after Election Day. And a full investigation into FauXi's role in the Wuhan bioweapons funding. And a full investigation into the role that the FBI played on Jan 6th. I'd like to see it. I likely won't tho'. Not under this administration. And probably not even under a Trump 2024 victory.
