invermectin bombed yet another double blind placebo controlled study in Argentina. This is the 4th SoAm trial failure:

“The mean time from study enrollment to invasive mechanical ventilatory support (MVS) was 5.25 days (SD ± 1.71) in ivermectin group and 10 days (SD ± 2) in placebo group, (p = 0.019).
“Conclusion: Ivermectin had no significant effect on preventing hospitalization of patients with COVID-19. Patients who received ivermectin required invasive MVS earlier in their treatment. No significant differences were observed in any of the other secondary outcomes.

This is what the *sshole cooper just did in NC to try and kill those of us living here using ivermectin as a prophylactic - “There are now threats from medical boards to take away licenses from pharmacists who prescribe ivermectin”

So we should believe your study from April 2021 instead of this one published by the CDC which says exactly the opposite?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34375047/

Conclusions: Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

Guess you also missed your study is using a injection form of Ivermectin while the CDC study was using the oral treatment.

wait, what? ‘injectible’? did you infer that from ‘arm’ of study, or? you speedreader you lol (it’s ok I do the same sometimes)

to quote:
The dose of ivermectin used was the approved dose in Argentina for the treatment of other diseases, such as parasitic diseases, and it was staggered according to weight. Those weighing up to 80 Kg received 2 tablets of 6 mg (mg) each at inclusion and another 2 tablets of 6 mg each 24 h after the first dose (total 24 mg). Those weighing more than 80 kg and up to 110 kg received 3 tablets ...

So what you want to believe is “fact” the direct contrary data provided from the same CDC is not?

How Ivermectin Saved Academy Award Winning Actor Louis Gossett Jr. from Dying of COVID-19

RESCUE ^ | 09/29/2021 | Peter Joffre Nye

When Academy Award-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr. walked out of an Atlanta hospital sick with COVID, he reached out to Florida Keys Dr. Bruce Boros, who would save his life.

Quinine comes from tree bark, the cinchona tree... and is what is in tonic water.

Pulled this out of an herb book(Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine by Daniel Mowrey) in the middle 90s. It actually works, if at the onset of any respiratory infection, you throw half a teaspoon into a cup of boiling water and drink it.

FEVERS AND INFECTIONS FORMULA
1 oz. ea. powder mixed

Echinacea
Myrhh
Golden seal root
Licorice
Blue vervain
Cinchona
Butternut root bark
Garlic
Kelp

let’s look at Gossett:

Patient: presented sick for approx 1 week; admitted suspected mild Covid (still walking and talking); treated with unknown medications, covid positive suspected unknown
Day 2 (plus one week) - patient is well enough to self-discharge (can walk and talk and is discharged without O2)
Day 3 (plus one week) - patient receives rx for antiviral antibiotic and ivermectin between 6pm and 11pm, takes one dose, and says he feels better at 11pm (example: amoxicillin reaches peak in 1 to 2 hours; ivermectin not so much)
Day 4 and Day 5 (plus one week) - six ivermectin pills one day and eight pills the next day, antibiotic assumed x3 or x4
Day 6 (plus one week) - goes to clinic for a negative test
expected with a mild case at 14 days (20 days avg in hospitalized)

so, Gossett had a mild case that was treated in the hospital first two days with unknown medication(s), and then treated with an antiviral antibiotic for three days along with invermectin.

1. How does Gossett not fall into the 99.9% ‘survivable’ category? because he’s a celebrity?

2. How is ivermectin the champion, when other medications were used before or during his recovery?

3. How does that even compare with a study of any kind?

4. Why so defensive of ivermectin when we have a proven treatment in the form of monoclonals?

the study I posted, is an Argentina study that was posted to the pubmed Natl Library
not a study driven by “Front-Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, Madison, WI.” who have a financial interest in maintaining their groupies

or didn’t you notice the authors?

Leftists demonized Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin because they are proven products (over decades) that are also cheap, so they and their Big Pharma buddies couldn’t make a profit. That is how they do things. And just as Obama got rid of the best military officers during his 8 year usurpation, Biden is continuing the trend of relieving those who love America of their jobs. I saw an article on that, “Whistleblower: Border Patrol agents must be fully vaccinated by November or face termination”, and you can give that a look at Twitchy. And when all the decent people lose their jobs the Afghanis, Haitians and the rest will slide right in to those. The real question is what took these ‘lawmakers’ so long to raise these questions?

one doesn’t have to be a ‘govt plant’
or labeled as anything at all
to hold a differing opinion

you’d also have to define which govt, since the latest failed trials were held in Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Chili and Brazil.

I’m into monoclonals, myself. Mucho ruido y pocas nueces

I did the math last year and you would need to drink 6.03 liters of Tonic Water (at 83mg per liter; 33.8 oz) to equal one 500mg dose tablet of Quinine. And TW is sweetened (same calories as pop, 124 per 12 ounces) so that is a TON of calories (2100 for those 6 liters).
