Why Ivermectin was Disappeared

If the medical authorities and pharmaceutical companies actively suppressed the adoption of useful medications during a pandemic, then this is beyond the pale.

It’s a common occurrence in winter. A patient calls a primary physician to report a nonproductive cough, slight hoarseness, muscle aches, and a low-grade fever. The physician, and likely the patient, realize that this is almost certainly a viral upper respiratory infection. If the patient were in the office, the physician may test for a streptococcal bacterial infection, but it will likely be negative.

This is probably an infection with a rhinovirus, adenovirus, or endemic coronavirus. Despite this, the afflicted patient will happily proceed to the pharmacy to pick up their prescription for an antibiotic. The patient will feel as though the physician was proactive, something the doctor certainly understands.

This prescription, however, will be of no value to the patient and may actually cause issues. Yet pharmacies in the U.S. see this type of prescription thousands of times a day.

It occurs despite the fact that physicians are constantly reminded that gratuitous antibiotic prescriptions come with side effects and can lead to antibiotic resistance. Beyond that, there is no tangible resistance to this practice from the medical establishment or healthcare authorities.

Now let’s imagine another patient calls in. This patient also has a dry cough scratchy throat, muscle aches, and a low-grade fever. Only this patient had a COVID test kit at home and tested positive. The physician wants to prescribe a medication with no risk of bacterial resistance

Not only has this FDA-approved, Nobel prize-winning drug been made unavailable, but if a physician were to prescribe it, or advocate it as therapy, they are threatened with the potential loss of their medical license, their hospital affiliations, and their board certification.

'Ivermectin hasn’t disappeared, you’re just looking in the wrong places. And I’m talking the human pharmaceutical, not the horse drug."
I take it prophylactically once a week (twice a week if I think I might have been exposed) in pill form. I've received it as 5MG and lately as 10MG pills (20MG dose for 200 pounds body weight).

Found in Mexico. For want of low cost medicine many have died because of the pharma industry and the democrat party.

I suspect that doctor probably was employed by the hospital, and not an independent practitioner. There can be no medical cause to fire or discipline a doctor for using and approved medication for any condition that physician chooses. But when you are employed you can always be fired !! That is one of many reasons I remained a private practice physician once the Air Force was satisfied that I had served my obligation treating hypertension, diabetes and STD’s. Having said that, state boards and medical specialty boards restricting licenses and board certifications are another thing altogether and I suspect will be the subject of litigation - but the individual physician may not have deep enough pockets to litigate the issue.

Durvet horse paste Ivermectin was $4/tube at both Amazon and TSC in November 2020. I know because that’s when I purchased my initial reserves.

#5 I went to the site you posted and it was easy to get Ivermectin.
I will pick it up once Walgreens has it ready which could be sometime on Sunday. I guess I will wear the “mask” so I can get it......
I have not needed the medicine in the nearly 2 years of the plandemic, not even a sniffle but do want to have it on hand just in case as hospitals / democrats will not let you have it in many states.

I am in California in Canoga Park in the San Fernando Valley.
They send you 3 emails. It took just under 1 hour to get the prescription.

“Your pre-authorized $64.99 for the virtual consultation fees”
There is an additional charge for the medicine. I do not know that price yet.
