That is an old map of APOC countries. APOC was discontinued in 2O15 and replaced by ESPEN AFRO. Also, ivermectin was not “universally distributed” in those countries as they claim in your link, but only in high-risk villages.
See my post here #30
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4015279/posts?page=30#30
where I posted a map of areas where ivermectin was distributed (ESPEN AFRO) in 2020. About 30 million people were covered in 2020, less than 3% of total population. Under both the APOC and ESPEN AFRO programs, ivermectin was/is taken annually or semi-annually, not continually, as your source seems to believe. Ivermectin areas are in purple on that map.
Meanwhile, your source admittedly relied on “a map posted to social media”.
More people (212.7 million total in 2018, or about 20% of total population) are covered under the ESPEN AFRO program for elephantiasis. I posted the map for that as well. Again, treatment areas are in purple. And again, the drugs are administered once per year or once every six months, not continually.
Just as an example, because Mozambique is nearly all purple on that map, while neighboring Tanzania is purple-free, let’s look at Covid rates in those countries. Cumulative cases per million in Mozambique are much higher (5,000) than in Tanzania (500). The opposite of what one would expect if ivermectin worked. Or how about Guinea, nearly all purple, with around 2,300 cases per million (cumulative) vs about 1,200 in neighbouring purple-free Liberia. Again the opposite of what one would expect if ivermectin worked.
Meanwhile, your source assumed everyone in certain countries, based on an old map identifying countries participating in APOC, takes ivermectin all the time, when actually less than 30 million (continent-wide, less than 3% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa) in high-risk areas take it once or twice per year for eradication of river blindness.
Many more people (212.7 million) were given medication usually including ivermectin for eradication of elephantiasis (ivermectin not given in areas of river blindness), as seen in the second map.
As you can see, it does not seem to affect Covid rates.
UttarPradesh ?
crickets
Interesting.
You (guys) amaze me with intellectual dishonesty to rival HerrDoktor Fauxi.
Your continued disparaging, denigrating, denial of the efficacy (which is well beyond that of the fake “vaccines”) of Ivermectin points to an agenda.
The colorful pictures and obscure distraction references to ‘Onchocerciasis’ and’Lymphatic filariasis’’ and ‘covid’ map of the world are meaningless when gauging the effectiveness of Ivermectin.
Oh, so Africa is younger, has more sunshine and fresh air and is less obese ?
Fine. Compare apples to apples : the graph/ evidence in post 19 is not from your boogieman theexpose nor Yahoo nor even AP. It is from JOHNS HOPKINS, that good enough for you?
You have studiously avoided acknowledging the conclusive evidence from UttarPradeh India, why is that? does it destroy your meme? Yes it does, fini, game over, the end.
Let’s review:
Your posts align with FDA, NIH, CDC, DNC, Fauxi, totalitarian politician and rapacious Pharma.
Perfect timing for your “new” arrival at FR
No previous FR name
The dog ate you password
And ‘piece de resistance’: your bizarre irrelevant inane ‘Q’ references
So yes, beyond reasonable doubt you are newbie troll.
