Ivermectin and COVID-19: ERs reportedly filling with people overdosing on unproven drug
cnet ^ | Sept2,2021 | Gonzalez

Posted on 09/03/2021 1:46:23 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic, was one of many drugs medical professionals reviewed for repurposing early on in the COVID-19 pandemic. Some doctors who gave ivermectin to infected patients saw seemingly positive effects. However, more studies show it has little to no effect when it comes to treating COVID-19.

In recent weeks, there has been a dramatic increase in calls to poison centers by people who are taking ivermectin intended for animals.

Meanwhile, emergency rooms are seeing more patients who have overdosed a version of the medicine intended as a horse dewormer. The drug has stayed in the headlines following Joe Rogan saying he used it after he tested positive for COVID.

Which ERs? Pictures of crowds trampling people to get into ERs? Pictures of piled up bodies from people dying after taking Ivermectin?

No ERs named. No hospitals named. No ER doctors named. No poison control hotline staff interviewed. Nothing. Just "some doctors."

You'd think if this was really happening the pro-vax press would be all over it like Biden on a 10 year old, with cameras and reporters.

CNET… really? I was a fan until today. Now I am reportedly taking my name off their email list.
~~~~~~~~
I think they likely did it to escape censorship. As the article is shared, the reporter and or publication will likely come under fire anyway.

The "Great Reset" is about individual compliance to the state as mandated routinely, and the elites enriching themselves in services and products involved in mandates.

Build back better really means destroy what's not in our control in order to replace the products of destruction with the state issued and approved goods and services which the elites now control.

Reinforce this weekly thru social media manipulation and scripted news stories thru state controlled media / press outlets. Enlist private industry to cooperate or face punitive measures.

Isn't it really funny when we read or watch the news lately? The pillars of quality journalism of What, Why, When, Where, and How? go entirely unobserved. No follow-up lines of questioning? No elaborating on the claims central to the story?

Just a scripted press release presented as news. Pathetic.

"ERs reportedly filling with people overdosing on unproven drug"

This is extreme fake news. If there were even one person in the ER for overdosing this Nobel Prize Winning drug, CNN would be doing live 24-hour coverage.

No, they will just take it one step further. Things will never be “normal” again. The people should thought about that before they got rid of President Trump.

BS.

Even if you are taking the equine version, you'd have to ingest eight full tubes of it to OD.

Below is definitive proof that it works, which is why they don't want you taking it. They want you dead.

This is just a plain old lie. ERs are not being overrun by Ivermectin overdoses.

Some people who have gotten the Covid vaccine seemingly get less sick when infected.

And yet, people who didn't get the "vaccines" have seemingly been less sick lately also. And for how random the virus hits everyone, it's very difficult to compare. Even the manufacturers only put their products at what what, 1,2% effective? (The 95% efficacy is a smoke-n-mirrors calculation, if you haven't seen that thread on here yet.) From what I'm seeing, the shots aren't worth the risks, especially when there's easy ways to treat it that seem to work pretty well, like ivermectin, quinine, NAC, zinc, C/D/B, etc.

Only if they are really taking the stuff from the vet.

Not even then, unless they are ingesting the topical version, which may not be the best option. The paste or injectable causes no problem if you just take according to body weight. It is pretty hard to overdose on this stuff anyway but you can even overdose on aspirin or water for that matter. They are lying to us and simply examining the available evidence should prove it to any reasonable person.

The health minister of Japan just ordered doctors to drop the fake vaccine and prescribe Ivermectin. Millions of doses have been dispensed in India with a resulting decrease in mortality. The few fake studies done her have only involved practically terminal patients so they get a high mortality result.

Seems a lot of people are so concerned about being right and ‘superior’ that they’ll take horse meds instead of the vax.

I don’t have the vax either yet, but c’mon guys. It’s what it’s about.

What an ignorant or dishonest thing to say. There is plenty of research on this issue with regards to covid if you want to be honest or informed.

As far as getting the dosage wrong, the medical community could show up to the party and manage the situation and make sure people get the dosage right instead of being political toadies denying the actual science on the issue.

Every year around 500 people in the US die from an overdose of acetaminophen.

There is no proof that acetaminophen helps in any way with SARS‑CoV‑2. There have been no clinical trials and no intention to do any because it does not help cure SARS‑CoV‑2 and no one says it does.

BUT... if you go to the ER with possible SARS‑CoV‑2 THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL GIVE YOU.

A potentially deadly drug that does nothing to help you. And then they will send you home to get worse or better. Until they can get the results of your test. Because unless you have the flavor of the month illness you are in no danger.

On what planet does this make any sense?

Really? What studies are those?

Actually they did several studies early on, but didn't do anything properly, withheld treatment until they were already terminal and then announced it wasn't effective. Even VA which has dispersed millions of doses of HCQ announced that it was dangerous.

Those fake studies were devised to make the alternative treatments look like failures, even dangerous because if there were alternative treatments they couldn't issue emergency use of a fake vaccine.

Yes, there were some really bad studies - one was even showing ivermectin working then they changed the study parameters! They are still being circulated but buried in some meta analysis studies, I guess hoping no one would notice. I responded to one the other day - looked at every study in meta analysis and found that several of them were fatally flawed according to peer reviewed. One published in JAMA had a letter signed by 100 physicians to retract it, it was that bad.

Anyway, there is a lot of reliable data out there now
