TOKYO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Japanese trading and pharmaceutical company Kowa Co Ltd (7807.T) said on Monday anti-parasite drug ivermectin has an "antiviral effect" against Omicron and other variants of COVID-19 as Phase III clinical trials continue.

Ivermectin/HCQ will do the business pretty much most of the time. It has from the get go.
Dementia Joe and the Dems have to fight that cause they need lockdowns to steal elections.

[Blennos]

Wait a minute here. Don’t the Japanese know that ivermectin is a deworming horse paste that is invariably fatal to humans? Where is your fact check, Reuters?

[Baldwin77]

Didn’t Ivermectin come from Japan? They ought to know.

Ivermectin pretty much eradicated covid in Japan

There will indeed be an insurrection when the common folks of the world figure out just how badly they have been had. Heads will roll, literally.

Fauci and Welensky are literally responsible for millions of deaths. The whole world is going to know soon.

[UNGN]

It’s going to take a country like Japan, successfully treating Covid with something Fauci frowns upon to destroy Fauci.

Fauci has to know this is a possibility and will either 1) disappear or 2) rage against Japan or 3) completely ignore Japan and not be allowed to be asked about it.

They have a 66,000/day Omicron spike in Japan, now, but only 34 deaths/day.

In the US, 66K case/Day would = about 200 deaths/day.

Well, I would ask all the people out there who say "Oh, IVM and HCQ aren't all that effective. They shouldn't be prescribed" the question: "How much effectiveness do we need to prescribe proven safe drugs when NOTHING else has helped except antibodies? How about 1% effective? Not enough?

When discussing the effects of anti-viral drugs like Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine with someone who says it hasn't been proven effective (even though it has to varying degrees, which advocates of full vaccination and nothing else will argue the detail until the cows come home) have them consult this table and choose their level of ineffectiveness when administering a safe drug.

This way, they can choose what levels of fatalities are worth their slavish devotion to the vaccine-only narrative which excludes early treatment.

Also, it is widely accepted that the government tally of 837,000 dead due to COVID is completely unreliable (due to the government's classification of those dead WITH COVID-19 are dead BECAUSE of COVID-19, which is an utter fallacy. However, I will use that number simply BECAUSE it is their number. They are the ones who use it fallaciously and unethically, so I propose we should hoist them on their own petard.

This table shows in the left column the percent of patients who would have avoided hospitalization and death if given early treatment with Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, based on the current government casualty total of 837,000 human beings.

So, if a doctor or Leftist tells you that Ivermectin or HCQ only showed a 1% decrease in hospitalizations that resulted in death, you can ask if the deaths of these 8,370 people, each one who had a mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, son, daughter, or other loved ones and friends is acceptable.

Dr. Peter McCullough made the arguable point, based on his own treatment of thousand of COVID cases using his treatment algorithm that utilized not only Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, but a host of other equally non-expensive treatments, in addition to monoclonal antibodies which do work as well.
