But for the comprehensively impaired, the article states……… In 2021, a bizarre cure for COVID-19 began to emerge on social media, the anti-parasite drug ivermectin. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now under fire for its efforts to refute claims that the drugs could stop the deadly virus.
It was 2020 that the bizzare cure began to emerge on social media. For example this 2020 FR thread: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3873223/posts
Or this one from the early days of the virus. April, 2020: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3838811/posts
Or this tread that referenced Newsmax. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3871538/posts
So, to sum it up, Ivermectic was being widely discussed even during the early days of covid. Not 2021 as the article states.
"Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist who studied medicine at both the University of Texas and Stanford University, says she has successfully treated more than 5,500 COVID-19 patients without a single death. She drew controversy in 2021 for promoting Ivermectin and other early treatments while publicly criticizing vaccine mandates."
Fauci's Remdesivir/Ventilator protocol killed 40% of the patients subjected to it.
The COVID-19 vaccines could only be approved with the Emergency Use Authorization if there were no other treatments available. Without the EUA Big Pharma would have lost billions of dollars. The last thing they wanted was a cheap, existing treatment.
I thought you were talking about something important. My mistake.
