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.

The second you understand what this is about is the second you’ll understand why. Nothing the CDC or the elites do is about curing anything. You childishly seem to think they want to cure diseases and that you’ve got the solution. They don’t want a solution. They want you DEAD. Period.

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

You can contact Front Line Doctors. Or for your horse (wink), you can get apple-flavored paste. It’s even FDA approved! (for horses) For smaller animals the same ratio is used. There’s markings on the tube for weight. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-ivermectin-paste-187-608-g

Ivermectin is given to race horses that are worth more than all of us put together.

Fauchi and others are making billions creating virus’s to unleash on us. Why do you think he uses the Chinese people as test subjects because there can be no complaints? He and Bill Gates test on people in India and Africa and do not care how many die or are crippled.

There appears to be a lack of the Vax Nazis on this thread.

that is why I got the human pills.

The trouble is, 99% of us don't have access to the pills. I've looked at the online sources people have listed, but none of them allow you to order the pills yourself, so if your doctor won't prescribe it (after days of delay as you wait for your covid test to come back then try to make a doctor's appointment), you can't get it.

that ivermectin Dr group has a list of Drs who will prescribe it.

its easy to get the script. When I had to get it filled I had to shop around for who had it in stock, price, etc.

PUSH health also prescribes it but costs more than myfreedoctor.com

Agree 100%.

Merck, the manufacture of ivermectin, is now coming out with its new COVID19 drug, so naturally they don’t what an old drug around that is cheaper to manufacture as competition to their new product.

Additionally, if reports are accurate, one of the contractual conditions the pharmaceutical companies making vaccines required of governments was that they would inhibit the use of preexisting or repurposed drugs to treat COVID19. One indication this might be true is that in February 2020 the French government removed hydroxychloroquine from pharmacies all across the country and rescheduled the drug to prescription only status. It had been sold over the counter for 65 years due to the large numbers of French citizens who traveled in malaria prone areas.

the contract with Pfizer has been leaked. If you search for Albania and Pfizer you can probably find it.

That will answer your question IF it is the contract.

Thanks, I'll check both sources. Were you able to order the pills ahead of time via prescription? Or did you have to wait for a positive covid test?

Care to weigh in on this, since you think you know so much concerning COVID-19 and its treatment?
