Heard about Ivomectin being the best solution for Covid from an Aussie doctor about 4 months ago, he was quickly shut down. It’s not in the pharmaceutical companies best interests for everyone to use a drug that’s already so available, they must make their millions (and inflate their egos) rolling out a largely untested new vaccine.
I can’t believe they are holding back the real solution to this pandemic and playing with people’s lives in such an unprecedented time as this. It’s disgusting!
Not having a personal dig at you, but these types of stories are almost always dodgy.
You've got to highly sceptical when you hear about a one-off doctor being 'shut down'.
It's far more likely that some business council lobby group that wanted to end restrictions rolled out a random bloke to milk a borderline study for all it was worth (see the facts about that one here https://www.nps.org.au/Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective)-and-covid-19)
The 'shut down' thing was most like someone like the AMA telling the bloke to pull his head in and stop pushing untested medicines.
Forgetting the Aussie doctor who told me about it, did you actually watch the video that sheer64 posted?
I did.
He seemed to believe in it pretty strongly but wanted to shortcut all the usual safety checks that medications have gone through for decades.
And a vaccine produced in less than six months isn’t a shortcut?
I think his major gripe is that the NIH refuse to even consider the use of Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) (a known drug) despite its apparent potential to prevent the spread of COVID-19! And you have to ask why.
He and his colleagues aren’t just bozos with an agenda, they are world renowned medicos and scientists who have been at the coal face of this disease since its inception, treating the dying people and constantly researching, checking and testing for a solution. I know where I would rather put my faith.
Covid19 is not a parasite, it’s a virus which is why Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) is not considered an effective treatment.
The best treatment, once you have Covid19, is steroid based to reduce the overactive immune system response to Covid19. In many cases it’s the overreaction of the immune system that causes the morbidity of Covid19.
The only effective prevention is a vaccine. To be clear I will be getting vaccinated against Covid19 and at the earliest opportunity.
