“We live in a system that favors high-profit medicines. Those are the only things in play, and they don’t work. They are failing,” says Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary and critical care specialist. He’s the president of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.
Two years into this pandemic, why haven’t there been more clinical trials of repurposed drugs to treat COVID-19?
“It’s not about ivermectin. It’s about the pharmaceutical industry capture of our agencies, and at suppressing and avoiding the use of cheap, repurposed drugs," says Kory.
Eliminate patents.
Patents are supposed to encourage and reward innovation. But now pharma creates designer analogs and re-patents it, e.g. for example replacing sodium with potassium in a chemical formula. That's not exactly an earth shaking innovation worthy of a patent.
Thanks for posting this.
He takes the limited-hangout position that this is all just about Big Pharma grabbing profits.

Eliminate Dr. Fauci!
"Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms. In addition, some topical forms of ivermectin are approved to treat external parasites like head lice and for skin conditions such as rosacea.Dec 10, 2021
Big Pharma hasn’t just captured the government so-called regulatory agencies, like the CDC, its captured the MSM and Big Tech thru paid advertising.
Drug manufacturers are the biggest advertisers on cable tv. That is a huge source of income for those outlets. To expect unbiased coverage from them is ludicrous.
Eliminate the fusion between the companies and Health authorities. Get caught getting a nickel - 20 years hard time. Share a patent- death. Did you hear me Fauchi. I think you should be tried, found guilty and hung.
“Two years into this pandemic, why haven’t there been more clinical trials of repurposed drugs to treat COVID-19?”
We’ve done clinical trails of these ‘repurposed drug’, ie, invermectin and HCQ. None have shown them to be effective.
Given that, how do you explain the outcomes in Brazil and India, both of which Dr. Kory covers in the video?
Bull Crap. Here is a very detailed and up to the minute meta-analysis of 77 Ivermectin studies showing efficacy: https://ivemeta.com
Also did you actually listen to the extremely well qualified physician being interviewed in video, who I dare say knows a heck of a lot about the effectiveness?
Did you watch a lot of the Jerry Springer Show when you were a kid?

If you’ll do some research, you’ll find that India and Brazil were overrated.

The only ones claiming otherwise are those selling alternative cures.
Kory is one of the FLCCC who have been flagged repeatedly for shoddy work.
Frontiers Removes Controversial Ivermectin Paper Pre-Publication
A review article containing contested claims about the tropical medicine drug as a COVID-19 treatment was listed as “provisionally accepted” on the journal’s website before being removed this week.
Mar 2, 2021
The editors of Frontiers in Pharmacology have taken down an article about the use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin in COVID-19 patients. The paper, which was written by members of an organization called the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), had been provisionally accepted and posted in abstract form by the journal in January, but was ultimately rejected this Monday (March 1). The editors determined that it contained unsubstantiated claims and violated the journal’s editorial policies.
And, there’s this:
Fringe Doctors’ Groups Promote Ivermectin for COVID despite a Lack of Evidence

Excellent interview.
Thanks for posting the link.
Which were bogus “studies” designed to fail. And that has been addressed by many doctors on several forums.
So you are lying again, as usual.
“fringe”?
You serve your masters well. Using their rhetoric gives you away.
Excuse me, but appealing to the profit motive as being solely responsible for the advocation of dirt cheap medicines over very expensive designer flag ship cash cows? Uhm, are you sure that is a reasonable application of the critical thinking skills the good Lord gave you?
Kory is one of the FLCCC who have been flagged repeatedly for shoddy work.
Oh wow. So Dr Kory is at odds with the establishment? Golly. Yeah, that is well known. The question is whether one is in the business of saving lives or of playing ball with Big Pharma. Find something wrong with Dr Kory's work and reputation that pre-dates his advocacy of cheaper alternatives to Big Pharma's big cash cows during this pandemic. Can you? Or can you only find him being "fringe"-labeled afterwords? What was his reputation and qualifications before he was denounced? Have you bothered to check? Have you heard his side? Watched the video?
