I have to laugh. How many patients died at the altar of social media and political bias?

Please don't take Dr. Campbell's word for it. Read the studies. SPOILER: IVERMECTIN provided SEVENTY PERCENT REDUCTION IN MORTALITY VS. REMDESIVIR.

Second study showed using Ivermectin cut infection rates in half.


Anyone who has dismissed Ivermectin as a "horse dewormer" has blood on their hands.

(**Ivermectin is a Nobel-prize winning anti-parasitical drug, required to be given to immigrants coming into the U.S. from many countries. It has also been used to control parastes in livestock.)

It failed every double blinded clinical trial. We've discussed ad nauseum.

The Earth is not flat, either.
My mistake for not linking the video. Fixed now. Watch it and read the studies linked therein.

I get emotional about this topic. The people who made the decisions regarding covid policy, which turned the world upside down, were the least-affected by those policies. Eschewing Ivermectin use as a possible tool against the pandemic is nothing short of scandalous and probably criminal.
 
I know you don't read, so watch the video. It's just like tv.

Says the person that couldn't grasp the need for vaccine and masks despite all the articles and videos showing that they worked.
 
The opinions were to get vaccinated. The people using ivermectin were doing so in place of vaccination, so unless you can show that ivermectin was 90+% effective you're just being a political fool.
Were you ever infected with Covid?
 
Wrong thread, wrong administration.
No, sorry, it’s exactly the right thread and the right administration. The one who admitted he lied to keep the people calm, and millions of those same people took zero precautions. Some of their families afterwards even said they believed what Trump told them. Sorry.

86% against death. "The investigators used the US Department of Veteran Affairs health care system data for this study, due to its inclusion of a large population of older adults with comorbidities." So that's 86% of people older and with comorbidities.

Thanks. I'm not trying to argue which was a better option between vaccines and Ivermectin. I'm simply saying it's use should not have been pilloried as it was and by evidence in this thread, still is.

I got my vaccine like a good boy, and I didn't use Ivermectin, but it was never an option for me. It may have kept me from getting covid though. Who could ever know? However, the reason it wasn't offered is probably political. Horse dewormer.

I'm highly allergic to poison ivy. I had a bad case one summer and went to see the doctor to get a shot. I was denied because the doctor deemed my case wasn't severe enough. So I fell back on an old home remedy of a tincture made of white vinegar and saltwater. White vinegar (acetic acid) can also be used as a household cleaner. Isn't it crazy how household cleaner also works to cure poison ivy?

Oatmeal also helps for poison ivy. Of course neither vinegar nor oatmeal is "curing" anything. They just help to alleviate some of the symptoms of your allergic reaction. And yes, white vinegar can be used as a household cleaner, same as Coca Cola, Pepsi, grain alcohol, vodka, club soda, and plain old water. In fact, grain alcohol would also likely give you the same kind of relief you got with vinegar, though you probably should dilute it a bit first. And supposedly apple cider vinegar works better than white vinegar. Hell, lots of people regularly drink Bragg's apple cider vinegar

Maybe you can provide the cliff notes, particularly with his take on Brazil? I started watching this before you posted, but I couldn't get thru it because I find this guy particularly annoying...

So I saw Brazil mentioned in the thumbnail when I came upon the video yesterday. I started watching, but this guy's style drives me batty and I couldn't get thru it.

I suppose he is discussing some sort of study in Brazil, but I'm curious how does he square that with practical applications in Brazil thruout 2020, and most of 2021 when Ivermectin was basically given to everyone, and the only positive was that Brazil only had the second highest death rate behind only the US? Why didn't the results of this study manifest in the practical application of Ivermectin and Hydrox in Brazil- does he explain that?

From the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Oct 2021 in an article discussing the Brazilian Senate's recommendations that Bolsonaro should be charged with "crimes against humanity".

"Brazil has reported 604 303 deaths from covid-19, and has one of the world’s worst proportional tolls, with 2817 lives reported lost to the virus per million population. “In spite of all the vaccines that were on offer, the federal government opted not to buy them,” the report said. Several officials are also accused in the report of demanding bribes during negotiations with vaccine makers.

It took seven months after Pfizer offered vaccines to Brazil for the government to sign a deal, having left one offer from the company unanswered for two months, the inquiry heard. During this time Bolsonaro warned Brazilians on television that Pfizer’s proposed contract would give them no legal recourse if the vaccine changed them into alligators or made women grow beards."


If Ivermectin is a "wonder drug" why didn't it work in Brazil where it was basically distributed like candy?

"The report also recommended charging the president and several others with “charlatanism,” the promotion of false cures. Also accused in the report are two doctors close to Bolsonaro: oncologist Nise Yamaguchi and virologist Paolo Zanotto, both vocal champions of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Both attended meetings with the president at which they cautioned against a vaccine based strategy, the report found. At one meeting, the commission heard, they urged the director of Brazil’s drug regulator to accept a presidential decree changing the package insert of hydroxychloroquine to claim that it could treat covid."

One other thing. If you are ever worried about coming into contact with poison ivy while doing yard work, hiking, etc., there are some barrier creams that help. Years ago a client sold some colloidal oatmeal-based barrier creams that worked great for me (I'm not allergic to poison ivy but my hop bines can really do a number on me). I still have a few bottles around and I use it whenever I'm messing with the hops. It can also make cleaning up really easy, as it keeps dirt, oils, etc. from penetrating.

The scenario you describe people using wonder drugs like Ivermectin and hydroxy in lieu of vaccines was official govt policy in Brazil. The Brazilian Senate didn't launch and investigation into Bolsonaro for "crimes against humanity" because his reported use of indigenous people and peasants as his guinea pigs in his "no vaccine policy" was effective at saving lives...

If Ivermectin was a "miracle drug" Brazil would be a beacon of covid prevention and Bolsonaro would be one of the more popular rulers in the world. Instead he's facing serious charges and possibly prison time...

Can we give ivermectin to the water cooler to remove its parasites?

The reason it wasn't pushed was because it wasn't effective with covid, whereas the vaccine was effective. Why take something that is not scientifically proven to help when there is something that does help? Lacks sense.

IMO, people ran to ivermectin because of either being anti-vaccine in general or to make a political statement.

The data used in the second study cited in the linked video came from patients in Brazil. The paper is peer-reviewed. Ivermectin users were 70% less likely to die and half as likely to be infected. Read the study if you have questions.
