Everything about this COVID pandemic is strange. It's fishy, it just doesn't make sense. From the media's and left's obsession with the virus, case numbers, deaths, Fauci, etc. To draconian lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine requirements. It's all very surreal and quite strange.
For feigning to be so concerned about people's health, why the attack on Covid treatments?
First there was the media's and left's attack on Hydroxychloroquine. That one was understandable because of their hatred for President Trump who touted hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for COVID. Therefore because President Trump said it might help, the media and left had to attack it. Even though it is an FDA approved drug used to treat malaria worldwide.
Now, they are attacking ivermectin. I've been trying to wrap my head around why. It's not to destroy President Trump, their massive election fraud already removed him from office. I've concluded that comes down to money and power. Perhaps big Pharma is behind the attack on ivermectin. Because ivermectin is a lot cheaper than some other super expensive drugs that are also used to treat COVID. Or another theory I have is that the left/media want the pandemic to continue and want COVID to appear to be more deadly than it is. They want people to continue to live in fear. They want to continue their unconstitutional power and control over the masses.
But whatever the reason, the media/left is currently obsessed with attacking ivermectin. Which is absolutely absurd. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug used to treat worms and parasite infections in humans and animals worldwide. It is an FDA approved drug for use in humans -- not just animals. In fact, a lot of drugs developed for human use such as painkillers, anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, etc. are also used to treat animals.
Ivermectin is not a horse drug. Yes, it is used in horses, cows, dogs, etc. but it is also formulated for human use. In fact, the doctors who developed it won the Nobel prize in physiology and medicine in 2015 for their discovery and development of ivermectin.
"Diseases caused by parasites have plagued humankind for millennia and constitute a major global health problem. In particular, parasitic diseases affect the world’s poorest populations and represent a huge barrier to improving human health and wellbeing. This year’s Nobel Laureates have developed therapies that have revolutionized the treatment of some of the most devastating parasitic diseases.
William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura discovered a new drug, Avermectin, the derivatives of which have radically lowered the incidence of River Blindness and Lymphatic Filariasis, as well as showing efficacy against an expanding number of other parasitic diseases. Tu Youyou discovered Artemisinin, a drug that has significantly reduced the mortality rates for patients suffering from Malaria.
These two discoveries have provided humankind with powerful new means to combat these debilitating diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people annually. The consequences in terms of improved human health and reduced suffering are immeasurable.
Obviously ivermectin is used in humans and has helped millions of humans combat parasitic diseases and their consequences. So why is the left/media attacking it so fiercely? Aren't they supposed to be the ones who are so loving, caring and concerned about everyone's health?
Okay, you may argue that ivermectin is fine for treating parasites, but it's not approved to treat COVID. That's true. But, many drugs are prescribed off label when it is discovered that they are useful in treating other maladies. For instance, a drug used to treat gout is often prescribed to treat pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart). An antihypertensive (blood pressure lowering drug) is often prescribed to treat nightmares associated with PTSD. An antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia can be prescribed to treat nausea. People often use an over-the-counter antihistamine (Benadryl) for insomnia. Off label use just means that it's prescribed for something other than what the FDA approved it to treat. Off label use is not uncommon. So that argument is moot.
When India was recently overwhelmed with COVID cases and hospitalizations, they started giving ivermectin to people prophylactically. Which means they gave it to people to prevent people from being infected and becoming sick with COVID. They also gave it to people who were already sick with COVID. Their cases, hospitalizations, and deaths plummeted. It was a miracle.
Japan recently approved ivermectin to treat COVID.
If you follow my blog, you know that I recently recovered from a bout with COVID. I actually took both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. I suffered no side effects. My doctor was gone the week I requested prescriptions for these drugs. So another doctor reviewed and denied my request. I explained to him that both of these drugs were safe and used worldwide, and he still declined to treat me. So, I found an online prescriber who was willing to prescribe me ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Which I easily obtained from my local pharmacy.
If ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are so dangerous, then why are they FDA approved and easily available by prescription from any pharmacy?
I just read this morning about some quack doctor in Oklahoma claiming that the hospital he works at was overwhelmed with ivermectin overdose patients and was turning away gunshot wound victims. Fake news! Rolling Stone and a bunch of leftists ran with this -- writing articles and tweeting this false information. The hospital in Oklahoma said that this particular doctor doesn't work for them but is an independent contractor who hasn't worked there in over two months. They said they have not turned anyone away and are not overwhelmed with ivermectin overdose patients.
Granted, there may be, and probably are, people who use veterinary ivermectin to try to treat their COVID symptoms. But whose fault is that? I would put the blame on US doctors not willing to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to patients with COVID.
I would go so far as to say not prescribing these FDA approved drugs that have been proven to work against COVID is criminal. Why wouldn't you give a safe drug to people that may help keep them not only from getting COVID, but from keeping people with COVID out of the hospital, and even preventing death?
These drugs have been used in millions of people worldwide, not only to treat parasitic infections and malaria, but also to treat COVID.
If the left/media really cared about the health of people they would be singing the praises of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine instead of attacking them and pushing the vaccine.
No, the left/media doesn't care about anybody or anything but their own agenda. In fact, the more people that get sick and die, the happier they are.
That's my two cents.
Right, again!
