And it has been in successful use for over 30 years, 30 billion times, no adverse effects.

Its supposed to be a side effect of Ivermectin that acts as a palliative to the effects of Covid infection. It somehow (mechanism is not yet understood) prevents Covid from breaking through human cell walls. This has been reliably shown to work under lab conditions. Less ability to propagate in cells, less viral load, and thus less damage. That is, it is claimed to improve survival odds for infected people.
If it is widely taken in a population as a preventative, the lower viral load of infected people may also reduce transmission.
Its still uncertain whether it works in the human body as well as it does in the lab.

I believe with hindsight of this crazy year that many (if not most) will conclude that the single biggest impediment to using the cheap and effective treatments of Covid was Saint Fauci.

The question then becomes how many people died and how many were severely ill with long term damage because we refused treatments that have clearly been shown to be safe and effective.

My personal opinion is that at least 50% could have been avoided. Many think that number is far higher. The CDC guidance was to avoid any of these treatments because they were ineffective (false) and dangerous (false). Any treatment regimes that were effective takes away the desperation for the vaccine.

I am not anti-vax either. I had the J&J based on my own risk assessment, but I think each adult should make that decision for themselves based on their known risk factors. I will not vaccinate my teenagers nor should people who had the virus be vaccinated as they already have immunity. The push for total vaccination is asinine in my humble opinion.

The treatments are not 100% effective, but I do believe early intervention with them is highly effective. The vaccine does not appear to be 100% effective either although the efficacy of it is demonstrably high. The irony is that the vaccine appears more dangerous (a small number) than the very treatments they claimed were dangerous and unproven.

One man is most responsible for what I wrote above and that is Fauci. Ironically, it is likely that he helped to fund the very gain of function research in China that created Covid-19 because it clearly is not a naturally occurring virus in nature.

Where do you get it and how much do you take?

The current Indian outbreak is following the same course as any number of others, where the infection rate peaks and the rate falls off on its own. The US had exactly the same last March-May, and this Oct-Feb. Vaccines had nothing to do with it, and I doubt Ivermectin/HCQ is much of a factor either.

Discovered by a Japanese farmer in the soil. Probably produced naturally by the plants as a defense against blight. Works great for a lot of things. Probably works great against Covid but the jerks in the head office did everything they could to throw shade on research.

Vaccines don’t help the people who are already sick in bed with covid. Ivermectin, plenty of evidence that it does. The head office threw everyone who was sick under the bus for the ‘bigger idea’ of mRNA vaccines and their ‘potential’ future uses.

It is also an ionophore that helps transfer zinc into the human cells. HCQ does the same.

I dont take it at all. It is available for prescription by physicians, and depending on the country it can be very cheap. In the Philippines it is @5-10 cents a pill IIRC, the daily dose. Granted, over there that is a significant sum for the poorest.

I think you are mistaken. Not vaccines and not a natural ebb and flow. India has 1.4 billion people, that’s a lot of habitat for the virus to expand, and also a lot of vaccines and pills to distribute. But the states in India that have begun to distribute ivermectin have seen a marked decline in cases and hospitalizations and oxygen use in just a few days, without widespread compliance. Too soon to know, and since it is a mass experiment probably may never really know unless they do a large clinical trial. Probably just end up with post hoc data comparing rates of illness among ivermectin takers vs non-ivermectin takers.

As always, I urge reading these blogs by non-medically trained writers with a large amount of skepticism.

The evidence for the use of ivermectin is not as clear-cut as this writer suggests. While it shows in vitro activity against a range of viruses, the gap between showing efficacy in vitro versus in clinical use is as wide as the ocean. For every drug that is approved for clinical use, hundreds of candidate compounds are abandoned for a host of reasons, including toxicity issues, failing to work in vivo, etc.

In the case of ivermectin, the anti-parasitic dose is far too low to achieve the concentration needed to have anti-viral activity in the body. As one physician in India observed, "In some countries such as India, ivermectin is used for mass chemoprophylaxis of lymphatic filariasis. Nevertheless, there is a high incidence of COVID-19 in the area that ivermectin is routinely used."--Ivermectin and COVID-19.

I found 202 references mentioning "Ivermectin" and "Covid-19" on PubMed, the medical research literature database. Very few of these are based on clinical trial results. Many are just comments on published articles.

When noting a fall in cases, one cannot dismiss the role of measures taken to decrease physical transmission of the virus. India imposed curfews and lockdowns, which have more of an effect on preventing Covid-19 than anything else (people who are not exposed do not get sick):

The relative fall in India’s daily cases of the coronavirus disease comes on the back of drop in cases in several states and Union territories (UTs), where curbs like lockdowns, mini-lockdowns, corona curfew etc. were imposed, or extended, to break the chain of transmission of the infection. Capital Delhi and the financial hub of Maharashtra, where a lockdown and lockdown-like curbs are in place, respectively, witnessed a rise of 4,524 and 26,616 infections on Monday, as per their health departments’ bulletins. This was for the first time since April 5 that Delhi’s daily count was less than 5,000, while Maharashtra has, in the past, logged a daily caseload of more than 60,000, which has undergone a steady fall in the last few days.--Hindustan Times,

Please, please, do some fact-checking before posting blogs. Most of these bloggers are not medically trained and have no training in analytical thinking, both of which are important skills for passing along factual information about Covid-19. Right now, our biggest enemy is misinformation. Misinformation about the pandemic helped to catapult Biden into the White House as much as any vote fraud, with catastrophic result. Do we really want misinformation to give even more fuel to those who would destroy our liberty and prosperity?

COVID doesn’t just infect you, it also infects several different types of microorganisms living inside you.

The famous symptom of losing sense of taste and smell is because of toxins given off by infected gut bacteria.

As for ivermectin, there is a mechanism where the drug interferes with viral reproduction. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220302011#:~:text=Ivermectin%20binds%20to%20and%20destabilises,normal%2C%20more%20efficient%20antiviral%20response

There were 17k new cases yesterday, Monday. Cases are always low on Mondays. Today, there are 53,585 new cases, which is the highest case count since May 1.

Unfortunately, backing down on public health measures can result in increased cases. It all depends on how well people keep observing measures to physically inhibit virus transmission. Unvaccinated people who immediately stop wearing masks and get in each other’s faces are prime candidates to come down with Covid-19.

The protected elite in this country will never admit anything. They will have an excuse for everything they do and the propaganda media will support them.

Check to see if your doc will give you a prescription. If not, most people get it here. One notch on the plunger is good for 50 lbs of body weight.

Ok I see this here a lot

Show me proof ....where Fauci is profiting from any of the 3-4 vaccines

I want to be educated please

I agree as a progressive he’s not let this crisis go to waste

I also believe he allocated funds to Wuhan viral via a cutout

I do not believe he owns any vaccine but I’m open to your evidence

"I’d thought I’d heard of Ivermectin before. Turns out it is used to prevent heartworms in dogs. It’s an antiparasitic."
It has long been (30 years) used for "River Blindness" in Africa, pills donated by Merck. It’s an antiparasitic, like hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. McCullough says as many as 85% of those who died purportedly from COVID would have survived if treated. He has a treatment protocol that works for most. It’s criminal that anything “with an orange glow” (i.e. Trump) was immediately dismissed as not working, junk, not scientific, etc.

Dr. McCullough link, if you’re interested ... the article pretty much summarizes what he says:

https://leohohmann.com/2021/04/30/highly-cited-covid-doctor-comes-to-stunning-conclusion-govt-scrubbing-unprecedented-numbers-of-injection-related-deaths/

Excerpt from link:

“So the U.S. government has made a decision, along with the stakeholders – the CDC, NIH, FDA, Big Pharma, World Health Organization, Gates Foundation – they have made a commitment to mass vaccination as the solution to the COVID pandemic and we are really going to be witness to what’s going to happen in history. We’re sitting on, right now, the biggest number of vaccine deaths, there’s been tens of thousands of hospitalizations, all attributable to the vaccine, and going strong.”

McCullough testified before the U.S. Senate on Nov 19, 2020.

“I estimated at that time we could have saved half of the lives lost,” he told Newman. “There are now current estimates that we are up to about 85 percent of all lives lost could have been saved with something called sequenced oral multi-drug therapy.”

But instead, the government and its “stakeholders” in Big Pharma chose to focus on vaccines. At the same time, news organizations were recruited to present only one side of the vaccine story.

Mainstream outlets have agreed to not allow any news critical of the shots to reach the American people. This corrupt collusion falls under the Trusted News Initiative, a global collaboration signed onto by Big Tech social-media giants and many of its corrupt corporate media “partners.”

The partners signed onto the Trusted News Initiative to date are: Associated Press, AFP; BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Facebook, Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, Microsoft, Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post. The New York Times has also participated in the past.”
