Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug? Ivermectin is a promising Covid treatment ...
The Wall Street Journal - Oligopolist Headquarters ^ | David R. Henderson and Charles L. Hooper

The Food and Drug Administration claims to follow the science. So why is it attacking ivermectin, a medication it certified in 1996?

Earlier this year the agency put out a special warning that “you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.” The FDA’s statement included words and phrases such as “serious harm,” “hospitalized,” “dangerous,” “very dangerous,” “seizures,” “coma and even death” and “highly toxic.”

Ivermectin fights 21 viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19. A single dose reduced the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in cells by 99.8% in 24 hours and 99.98% in 48 hours, according to a June 2020 study published in the journal Antiviral Research.

In 115 patients with Covid-19 who received a single dose of ivermectin, none developed pneumonia or cardiovascular complications, while 11.4% of those in the control group did. Fewer ivermectin patients developed respiratory distress (2.6% vs. 15.8%); fewer required oxygen (9.6% vs. 45.9%); fewer required antibiotics (15.7% vs. 60.2%); and fewer entered intensive care (0.1% vs. 8.3%). Ivermectin-treated patients tested negative faster, in four days instead of 15, and stayed in the hospital nine days on average instead of 15. Ivermectin patients experienced 13.3% mortality compared with 24.5% in the control group.

.

If the FDA were driven by science and evidence, it would give an emergency-use authorization for ivermectin for Covid-19. Instead, the FDA asserts without evidence that ivermectin is dangerous.

At the bottom of the FDA’s warning against ivermectin is this statement: “Meanwhile, effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 continue to be to wear your mask, stay at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you, wash hands frequently, and avoid crowds.” Is this based on the kinds of double-blind studies that the FDA requires for drug approvals? No.

ivermectin and HCQ and Quinine all work.

but the CDC bows to the NaziWorldOrder to
produce a nation of Trans-humans (per SCOTUS)
with no more rights except to be cattle.

Pasteur, Koch, Washington are ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVES.

So how does a person get a prescription for Ivermectin????

It seems the medical doctors throughout the USA are under orders from the ObamaCare Totalitarians to not prescribe Ivermectin.

Remember Dr. Harvey Risch?

Yale big wig who advocated HCQ.

Don’t hear much about him anymore, so that cure was basically forgotten.

Thankfully, however, at least Yale stood by their man (not his conclusions, but as an academic)...and no that’s not sarcasm:

There is still a lot that is unknown about Ivermectin
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5929173/

When you are shooting yourself up with horse paste you need to be aware of the right dosage for sure. that is why I got the human pills.

“However, elucidation of individual-level risk factors could contribute to therapeutic decisions that can minimize harms. Further investigation into the potential for drug interactions and explorations of polymorphisms in the mdr-1 gene are recommended.”

follow the money..

“...systematic, quantitative evidence that since the industry started making large contributions to the FDA for reviewing its drugs, as it makes large contributions to Congressmen who have promoted this substitution for publicly funded regulation, the FDA has sped up the review process with the result that drugs approved are significantly more likely to cause serious harm, hospitalizations, and deaths. New FDA policies are likely to increase the epidemic of harms”

There is NO way Fed.gov is capable of policing itself.

You could go to the feed store and get some for horses. Apple flavored. Make sure ivermectin is the only ingredient. Be prepared in case doctors are unwilling to do what works.

Same reason they deny FDA approval for effective and accurate testing.

They can't maintain control in the face of the truth.

I have quinine pills from the crunchy granola store. Plus, Tonic Water specially brewed with a heavy load. I’m good on quinine if they refuse me the safer hydroxychlorquine. Bastards.

You can get a prescription via telemed from Corsi Nation, America’s Frontline Drs, or a referral from a Dr that prescribes, like Vlad Zelenko

You can order from an overseas pharmacy that does not require a scrip
Many countries sell this drug OTC and will ship to the US

Just look online for sources

Fauci’s own bureaucrats wrote in 2005 that HCQ could be effective against SARS.

And early HCQ with zinc is effective, but the CABAL had to quash that to get their EUA, so they set up and published some bogus studies to try to discredit it and the complicit media heeled nicely.
