“This may be a start, but it misses the point that Ivermectin is best used at the START of the infection rather than when the patient is critically.”

Exactly right. It needs to be administered at the start of the symptoms.

Here they go missing the Mark again. Ivermectin works best when tried early not late

Digging into that rabbit hole is one of my 2022 to-dos.

Using hydroxychloroquine late in the disease progression and not with zinc etc. is how Cuomo sabotaged the very early test to see how HCQ worked

And that was what Dana White’s interview/press conference was all about. Especially when the lib from YahooNews chimed in.

Both Rogan and White did Ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies. Fine within a couple of days from taking the stuff

The biggest problem with it is, it’s readily available. Very available. But the FDA isn’t letting the big pharmacies give it out since they deemed its use for covid as off-label. Even though, previously, doctors could use whatever they wanted for what never they wanted.

My mom went through the FLCCC, early, and go the whole protocol for $30. About a week later, the FDA dropped the hammer. Now you have to find an apothecary, where you’ll pay over $100 for it.

Here in Georgia, there are many doctors that’ll help you with it and help you find it, but you have to test positive. I guess making sure there’s enough to go around for those that are sick as opposed to everyone trying to get it as a prophylactic.

Interestingly, there are still so many that don’t know much about it or they’re the liberal/Fauci Cultists that still think it’s horse paste.

After judge orders hospital to use experimental Covid-19 treatment, woman recovers.

That's a good example to remember. It’s not too late to try Ivermectin (IVM) in the advanced pulmonary stage of COVID-19 disease. Ivermectin acts to prevent viral replication in the early incubation and viral replication phase of COVID-19, but an exciting aspect of Ivermectin is its potent anti-inflammatory action potentially having a role in the treatment of late stage COVID-19.

The following is another example among others where treatment of a critically ill COVID-19 patient on a ventilator was successful.

https://rescue.substack.com/p/a-judge-stands-up-to-a-hospital-step

Mr. Ng was on a ventilator for more than three weeks while his daughter and her attorney fought the hospital administration. Delay is deadly in cases of severe, late stage COVID-19 disease and Mr. Ng was on death’s door before he was finally given five daily doses of 24mg of IVM. Within five days of receiving IVM, he had recovered enough to remove the endotracheal tube himself and breathe without the ventilator. He has since been discharged from the hospital and is recovering at the Illinois home of his daughter.

“... for critically sick COVID-19 patients ...”

That’s really too late. Ideally, Ivermectin (and zinc, D, etc.) should be taken at first symptoms.

So the patients have to be on life support and they have to request the IVM.

This is moronic.

Exactly!

If it's critical patients they want to help, the need to push for therapeutics like Zyesami to get the nod.

Not only has it been on the market for many years, it’s been given to humans in over 3.5 BILLION doses.

It seems a real cop out to allow only when the person is dying. The idea is to keep them from the hospital and cure them before the critical point.

If it is an effective drug, why wait until people are on death’s door?

Because CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

Because liability protection confers only to prescribers of covered countermeasures thanks to the PREP Act.

Nobody needs to pass a law.

Ivermectin can be prescribed.

Docs aren’t doing it because they’re being threatened with losing their licenses, jobs, and because they can be sued if things go south.

Best question: Why isn’t Ivermectin a covered countermeasure?

Answer: See my first sentence.

"From what I’ve read, ivermectin wouldn’t be much use if you’re on a ventilator. Perhaps I’m wrong."
From what I've read, although they have some anti-inflammatory benefit, ivermectin and hydroxychoroquine/zinc impede the replication of the virus that occurs in the first week(s) of infection. When you're on a ventilator you are probably suffering from a "cytokine storm" (inflammation) in your lungs caused by your immune systems response to the virus.

Everything I have heard or read about Ivm is that its efficacy diminishes in time. The first 48hours of a congested cough with fever is the best time for IVM or HCQ to be most effective.

RE: Everything I have heard or read about Ivm is that its efficacy diminishes in time

Same is true for Hydroxychloroquine.

The FLCCC doctors, Dr. Zev Zelenko, Dr. Peter McCulloagh, etc. all emphasize these two words -— EARLY TREATMENT.

The purpose is to PREVENT HOSPITALIZATION.

Do not wait till the patient is already hospitalized before you administer Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine.

And that’s the problem with most detractors when they say that these do not work.... They look at these drugs in an ICU setting, not in an early treatment setting.

Had we actually allowed doctors to prescribe IVM and HCQ at the early onset of symptoms, hospitalizations would DECREASE tremendously. This is the experience of places like Mexico City, Brazil and India’s state of Uttar Pradesh.

If you think about it, the same principle applies in treating someone with cancer or heart disease. You do not wait till they are in the late stages of the disease to treat the patient.
