“Ivermectin is much safer than aspirin.” TRUE. But that does not make it effective for COVID.

Aspirin works for many things other than an anti-inflammatory for pain.

Looks at other great treatments for covid that had many believers but FAILED....hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)....Remdesivir.....Convalescent plasma infusions....Zinc....Vitamin D.....the BCG vaccine. These all were promising and looked great on paper.

The one thing that has solid evidence that doesn’t work in randomized controlled studies and is still being used are MASKS. No science other than extremely week anecdotes, modelling studies and observation studies...all full of BIAS that randomized controlled studies work to eliminate (not fully..... but there are 15 RCT’s that show masks do NOT work). Science has been manipulated and pissed on all over the place with COVID. It’s an embarrassment to us who believe in Evidence Based Medicine. My best source of medicine is the http://clinicalmedconsult.com/

That wasn't my point. My point is that even if Ivermectin is ineffective, as long as it is safe, why is the media and authorities expending so much effort to suppress its use? My choice of aspirin in my example was simply used to illustrate the absurdity. Instead, use apples. What if the media and authorities pressured supermarkets to pull apples out of the stores because people consumed them as a preventative for Covid?

Another example: Some believe NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), a dietary supplement, is a Covid preventative. Suddenly, Amazon has pulled all NAC from their site. Search for NAC on their site and you get a list of alternatives, but not NAC. As a comparison, search on the Walmart site and you will see tons of NAC for sale.

Actually, you again don't know what you are talking about.

Go to https://c19early.com/

You will find studies from around the world showing the opposite of what you attempt to “authoritatively” claim—that they are “FAILED” treatments.

Zinc has 18 studies with 34,936 trial participants and an average of 51% improvement.

Vitamin D 47 studies with 50,837 trial participants and a 40% overall improvement.

HCQ 294 studies with 412,766 trial participants and a 25% overall improvement.

Ivermectin has 64 studies with 48,661 participants and an overall improvement of 66%.

You other choices are generally in there and the studies only confirm your statement that convalescent plasma is not helpful.

You have the worst sources and you go around spouting off like you actually know something, consult.

You obviously, provably, don't.
