DURHAM, N.C. -- A new study led by the Duke Clinical Research Institute is looking at whether three existing medications would treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 effectively. (More information on the study is available here.)
The three repurposed medications, already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other uses, are:
Ivermectin, used to treat parasitic infections;
Fluticasone, an inhaled steroid commonly prescribed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and
Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), often prescribed for depression.
On Tuesday, institute executive director Adrian Hernandez discussed the study with reporters in a virtual media briefing, where he touched on the need for COVID-19 therapies and making it easy for people across the country to take part in the study.
Watch the briefing on YouTube.
Here are excerpts:
TREATING MILD-TO-MODERATE COVID-19
A study led by the Duke Clinical Research Institute has expanded its testing platform to evaluate three repurposed medications in the search for effective, safe treatments for mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Repurposed medications are those already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other indications.

On the importance of testing COVID therapies
“We are in another surge here and it’s important to get answers for people who have mild to moderate COVID-19. What has been set up is a platform that will allow people anywhere across the country to join together to get those answers.”
“As we see COVID-19 surge, how can we actually address those issues by understanding what drugs work the best way and the easiest way for people to take at home if they, unfortunately, get COVID-19. We’ll be able to evaluate a number of different drugs that have a proven safety track record.”
On why the clinical trial matters now
“We are all interested in making sure we protect and prevent people from getting COVID-19 through vaccination and other efforts, but there are going to be cases when people get COVID-19 either through breakthrough cases or because someone hasn’t been vaccinated.”
“We have new variants that have developed over the last several months and we need to understand what are the best treatments that will make people feel better, faster, and also prevent them from going to the hospital or having any other poor outcomes.”

Why are we expecting effective and appropriate trials when we have read the Pfizer contracts? No treatment can be found.
His primary care doctor and his urgent care doctor both refused to prescribe Ivermectin. Once I found a doctor who would prescribe it, we had to get PERMISSION from the pharmacists to fill it. Then, this decades-old generic drug cost $120 (prices have gone up since then), when a comparable dose for my horses would cost less than $10. Here is the story.
Mom took 2 doses of HCQ and no moreShe needs to take zinc with HCQ since HCQ is the vehicle to get zinc into the cells to kill the virus.

I believe this is what they have been offered..

Antibodies are pretty safe as far as I know. For example that's what lots of cancer drugs are: antibodies matched with the cancer to guide the immune system to go in for the kill.
As opposed to chemotherapy which is basically just poison that one hopes kills the weaker cancer cells more than the normal cells.
Nope, totally different thing. Read up on humanized monoclonal antibodies if you're interested in the tech. It's not mRNA, spike protein or any of that crap.
They gave this to Trump when he had the coof.
It's expensive as all hell.
Trump did get them (not the kind cited above but an experimental formulation for treating his Wuhan flu), and promised that everyone who needed them would also get them. But obviously that did not happen. Sometimes I think Trump has no idea what he is saying, we probably don’t have the capacity to create enough monoclonal antibodies to treat everyone with the coof.
Got to tell ya, I do not know what to believe. Too much information. Too much disagreement between every source. Too many lies and too much censorship.
Point is it's not a vaccine and not mRNA and doesn't contain or cause your body to make any spike protein.

How do you know what's in it?
Just trust Fauci?

I'm leaning toward believing the worst outcome from all this is we become an extremely low trust society.
Maybe they'll put the vax in our drinking water next.

For anyone interested, I finally found a source for ‘mectin that is easy to navigate and with easy payment options. Not the cheapest prices, but not gouging Westerners like some sources seem to be set up to do. Pay with PayPal, as I did, or credit card instead of cumbersome bank transfer boondoggles. I ordered a full compliment of FLCCC recommended early treatment medications. Free shipping over 200 bucks. Response was within hours and order fulfillment in 1 day. Now I wait for 20-30 days for delivery. I will report at that time.

That man knows what he is talking about.
Order came in 2 weeks, well packaged, looks super legit. Apparently some packages have been getting intercepted by USPS, which shows them to be among the forces arrayed trying to KILL US. This package was marked "pharmaceuticals, personal use" and had no problem.

And HCQ falls into that same bucket. Even worse - to admit HCQ works would be to admit Trump was right about something.
Liberals would rather that millions die than that Trump be allowed to be right about anything. They hate Trump more than they love their fellow humans.
