ABC NEWS: Ivermectin, a deworming drug, should not be used to treat COVID, health officials say
ABC News ^ | Aug 23 | By Dr. Stephanie Widmer

Posted on 08/23/2021 4:12:16 AM PDT by RandFan

Ivermectin, a potentially dangerous and unproven medication to help COVID-19 patients, is being widely dispensed despite warnings, as the nation is in the grips of the delta variant surge. Internal data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed by ABC News, estimates a 19-fold increase of the anti-parasite medicine being distributed during the first week of August.

That distribution is despite multiple warnings from public health departments given the lack of evidence ivermectin works to treat COVID and the substantial risk of seizures or coma if used incorrectly. Ivermectin is not authorized by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of COVID-19, unlike available medications such as remdesivir, steroids and monoclonal antibodies, because there is not enough evidence the medication works to alleviate the symptoms of COVID-19.

After months of warnings of the risks, on Saturday, the FDA warned on social media, "You are not a horse. Stop it with the #Ivermectin. It's not authorized for treating #COVID."

You shouldnt take it until you understand what could make you overdose...like fat content. It can make a difference on the uptake. This is likely why some overdose

I guess someone should let India know. Oh, and the WHO Chief who advised against the use of Ivermectin as India could very well issue a death sentence for her for causing Indians to die unnecessarily for advising AGAINST its use.

The statist propaganda against ivermectin is heating up
Notice the apparatchik that wrote this hit piece makes no distinction between pharmacy orders and veterinary use

Are they honest enough to actually research the death and injury rate from ivermectin, used by billions all over the globe for almost 40 years, on the WHO list of the world’s safest drugs?
So…if you have head lice, bedbugs, or scabies…you can get ivermectin ( over the counter in many countries)
But if you have covid exposure…the drug will kill you?

C’mon, man.

I have as much trust and faith in these health authorities as I do the military, intelligence and foreign policy authorities who brought us the Fall of Kabul.

The people who are willing to take Ivermectin will not be deterred by ABC or the Feds. In fact, MSM or government denunciations will only confirm their position.

People with liver disease can’t use this

Anyone should by now have asked their health provider if there are any contraindications in their personal health history, so they can make an informed decision

Oh, and speaking of India, the Dean of Emory Medical School, a top flight operation, cowrote a column in the Times of India that among other things advocated for use of Ivermectin against Covid. Zero US media coverage of this, even in his local big media, the AJC and CNN.

I just started taking ivermectin as prescribed by a doctor, I found this website that totally counters the argument that no studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of ivermectin when treating Covid

https://ivmmeta.com/

It also tracks studies for other treatments for Covid including HCQ

Are they using veterinarian grade, animal strength Ivermectin?

Several of my friends and family that were showing symptoms were cured using ivermectin. They had a source from outside the country and it changed everything. In my case, if I get it and show symptoms I’ll just use the horse Paste at tractor supply.

We’re being lied to. That stuff works really well.

I remember when the RAGE and FURY was directed towards Laetrile. It was crushed apricot seeds some wanted to use to cure cancer. The DNA said NO WAY, JOSE. So people flocked to Tijuana and bought it over the counter in Mexico.
