ivermectin again? really? in 2021 monoclonals were very effective in saving lives and states set up infusion centers; they were withdrawn when variants developed resistance. In 2022 Paxlovid also proved effective. Both were provided free of charge. Paxlovid is still available with a prescription.
“A total of 1591 participants aged 30 years and older with confirmed COVID-19, experiencing 2 or more symptoms of acute infection for 7 days or less, were enrolled from June 23, 2021, through February 4, 2022, with follow-up data through May 31, 2022, at 91 sites in the US....The median time to recovery was 12 days (IQR, 11-13) in the ivermectin group and 13 days (IQR, 12-14) in the placebo group. There were 10 hospitalizations or deaths in the ivermectin group and 9 in the placebo group (1.2% vs 1.2%; HR, 1.1 [95% CrI, 0.4-2.6]). The most common serious adverse events were COVID-19 pneumonia (ivermectin [n = 5]; placebo [n = 7]) and venous thromboembolism (ivermectin [n = 1]; placebo [n = 5]).
...Conclusions and Relevance Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve time to recovery. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

When comparing the efficacy data in this study with that for Paxlovid (or even molnupiravir), the difference is stark. Paxlovid and molnupiravir, both direct-acting antiviral drugs, clearly show clinical utility against COVID by well-established mechanisms that have proven successful in inhibiting other viruses like hepatitis C, herpes, and HIV/AIDS. It is difficult to see how tweaking the dose, length of treatment, or adding additional components would make enough of a difference to give ivermectin a place on pharmacy shelves next to current therapies.

A five-day course of Paxlovid costs $530 (the U.S. government paid $5.3 billion for 10 million courses of Paxlovid in November 2021), and those authorized who report a positive home test result from a rapid antigen diagnostic test or a positive PCR test, to their provider are eligible for the pill.... patients should ask their physicians about being prescribed Paxlovid as soon as possible, as treatments are most effective when taken early on.
Patients who test positive can also be prescribed Paxlovid at pharmacies. Patients should bring health records for pharmacists to review for kidney and liver problems.

Why would I want to pay anywhere near that, for a medication that was just recently fast tracked and has no long term studies on it, at all?
They should be paying ME if they want me to be their lab rat.
I don’t know medicine, but I know Ivermectin works.
How can I know this you may ask?
It’s called common sense. It is quite powerful.
You see, while I am no doctor, I know tyrants. If the tyrant won’t let you have something or even let you talk about it... you better get that thing, and in a hurry.
I’m 100% so far. The tards are 0%.
Interesting that fact does not cause ‘tards to re-evaluate their positions.
Here’s something for you to think about: If it really didn’t work, and it does no harm, then why would the world governments spend so much effort pulling it from the market, beating up doctors, and censoring?
People figure out what works and what doesn’t on their own. If it didn’t work people would figure it out. We all figured out the vax don’t work, didn’t we?
P.S. Your usage of the term “free of charge” is that of a liberals (its a tell!).
Paxlovid? really?. Do you even know whats in in it and what common drugs it reacts with. I think not. Why do you need it if the injections worked in the first place
Peddle crazy somewhere else.
