https://sebastianrushworth.com/2021/05/09/update-on-ivermectin-for-covid-19/

Back in January I wrote an article about four randomized controlled trials of ivermectin as a treatment for covid-19 that had at that time released their results to the public. Each of those four trials had promising results, but each was also too small individually to show any meaningful impact on the hard outcomes we really care about, like death. When I meta-analyzed them together however, the results suddenly appeared very impressive. Here’s what that meta-analysis looked like:



It showed a massive 78% reduction in mortality in patients treated with covid-19. Mortality is the hardest of hard end points, which means it’s the hardest for researchers to manipulate and therefore the least open to bias. Either someone’s dead, or they’re alive. End of story.

You would have thought that this strong overall signal of benefit in the midst of a pandemic would have mobilized the powers that be to arrange multiple large randomized trials to confirm these results as quickly as possible, and that the major medical journals would be falling over each other to be the first to publish these studies.

That hasn’t happened.

Rather the opposite, in fact. South Africa has even gone so far as to ban doctors from using ivermectin on covid-19 patients. And as far as I can tell, most of the discussion about ivermectin in mainstream media (and in the medical press) has centred not around its relative merits, but more around how its proponents are clearly deluded tin foil hat wearing crazies who are using social media to manipulate the masses.

In spite of this, trial results have continued to appear. That means we should now be able to conclude with even greater certainty whether or not ivermectin is effective against covid-19. Since there are so many of these trials popping up now, I’ve decided to limit the discussion here only to the ones I’ve been able to find that had at least 150 participants, and that compared ivermectin to placebo (although I’ll add even the smaller trials I’ve found in to the updated meta-analysis at the end).

As before, it appears that rich western countries have very little interest in studying ivermectin as a treatment for covid. The three new trials that had at least 150 participants and compared ivermectin with placebo were conducted in Colombia, Iran, and Argentina. We’ll go through each in turn. ...

What we see is a 62% reduction in the relative risk of dying among covid patients treated with ivermectin. That would mean that ivermectin prevents roughly three out of five covid deaths. The reduction is statistically significant (p-value 0,004). In other words, the weight of evidence supporting ivermectin continues to pile up. It is now far stronger than the evidence that led to widespred use of remdesivir earlier in the pandemic, and the effect is much larger and more important (remdesivir was only ever shown to marginally decrease length of hospital stay, it was never shown to have any effect on risk of dying).

I understand why pharmaceutical companies don’t like ivermectin. It’s a cheap generic drug. Even Merck, the company that invented ivermectin, is doing it’s best to destroy the drug’s reputation at the moment. This can only be explained by the fact that Merck is currently developing two expensive new covid drugs, and doesn’t want an off-patent drug, which it can no longer make any profit from, competing with them.

The only reason I can think to understand why the broader medical establishment, however, is still so anti-ivermectin is that these studies have all been done outside the rich west. Apparently doctors and scientists outside North America and Western Europe can’t be trusted, unless they’re saying things that are in line with our pre-conceived notions.


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.

Pfizer Launches Final Study For COVID Drug That's Suspiciously Similar To 'Horse Paste'
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, SEP 28, 2021 - 06:58 AM

Another piece US anti-Ivermectin puzzle may have emerged. On Monday, Pfizer announced that it's launching an accelerated Phase 2/3 trial for a COVID prophylactic pill designed to ward off COVID in those may have come in contact with the disease.

Coincidentally (or not), Pfizer's drug shares at least one mechanism of action as Ivermectin - an anti-parasitic used in humans for decades, which functions as a protease inhibitor against Covid-19, which researchers speculate "could be the biophysical basis behind its antiviral efficiency."

Lo and behold, Pfizer's new drug - which some have jokingly dubbed "Pfizermectin," is described by the pharmaceutical giant as a "potent protease inhibitor."

Makes me wonder if ivermectin would work against other viruses, like common flu.

It has such a benign side effect profile that I will try it for sure, should I get the flu or any other respiratory virus.

If it worked against the flu, we should see a much lower case load of flu illness in African countries that use it as a preventative for malaria and river blindness. Should be easy to check.

Interesting. Instead of saying "Ivermectin," why not say "Stromectol" which is the official name for the oral form of Ivermectin? Can't honestly call Stromectol horse paste.

There are already several articles out there that show that those countries have very low death rates from the virus Fauci created in Wuhan.

Very easy to check, just like it is for Covid in these areas. And it won't be investigated for the same reasons I suspect.

This IverMercktin shit was originally investigated as a possible treatment for Venezuelan equine encephalitis
Yes it is a HORSE DRUG. Tell me these fuckers don't have a sense of humor.
It was developed using government funds, of course, and Merk plans to make it for 17 bucks a dose and sell it for 700.
Shkreli went to prison for a less brazen scheme.

For those interested I was able to successfully procure Ivermectin from AlldayChemist

I did not put down a prescribing doctors name.
I paid via e-payment from my bank.

Start to finish (pills arrived via USPS) was about 6 weeks.

I'm trying to figure out the dosage from this. It looks like 3mg pills - If I'm reading the instructions correctly it says to take seven pills for two consecutive days, then wait two weeks and repeat?

So is that 21 mg/day for 2 days, wait 2 weeks, then another 21mg? That seems like a lot (84 mg) - he must be a large man.

Supporting editors of the AAPS volume include cardiologist Peter McCullough who recommends the following early treatment protocol:

Ivermectin 0.2 mg/kg for six days
And/or Hydroxychloroquine 400 mg first day then 200 mg daily
Azithromycin 500 on day one then 250 for nine days
Cyproheptadine 4 mg po bid x 14 days
Pepcid 20-40 bid x 14 days
Singulair 10-20 po QD x 14 days
Fenofibrate 160 po QD x 14 days
Dutastreride 0.5 mg po QD x 14 days
Prednisone 60 mg po QD x 5 days followed by 40 mg po QD for five days
Load 40 forty thousand of vitamin D3 for four days followed by 20k for ten days
Baby aspirin if no allergies for one month
Melatonin 20 mg po QD x 14 days.
These guidelines are designed for early treatment, which is the first of three stages for a COVID infection.

Also, I read somewhere that until the 60s, it was common for doctors to give anti-parasite meds every year as routine treatment.

Many have low level parasites and may not know it.

Before the whole open borders covfefe has exploded all "refugees" from Asia, Africa and Latin America are given several doses of Ivermectin (among other medications) as a condition of entry.

I've been reading this truly fascinating (and terrifying) book on my spare time titled Parasite Rex. I was truly unaware of the complexities and varieties of parasites. It's definitely worth a read for anyone interesting in natural sciences.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/john-campbell-mercks-covid-molnupiravir-ivermectin/


The cost of a complete five-day course of Molnupiravir is $700 — or $70 per pill. That amounts to a 4,000% markup over what it costs Merck to make the drug.

Citing 2013 prices provided by the WHO, Campbell said a five-day course of ivermectin — 10 3mg pills — costs $0.53. (However, at today’s U.S. prices, 10 3mg pills cost about $39).

On effectiveness, Molnupiravir is lacking data. The only publicly available clinical data on Molnupiravir comes from a Merck press statement claiming the new drug is 50% effective against hospitalizations and deaths, when used as an early treatment.

For ivermectin, using publicly available data, Campbell referred to one peer-reviewed study that pegs ivermectin’s effectiveness in early treatment at 62%, and an ongoing meta-analysis which shows ivermectin is 66% effective in early treatment and 86% effective as a prophylactic.


The corruption continues full steam.

Fun fact: Between 100-200 United States Congress Members (plus many of their staffers & family members) with COVID.. were treated by a colleague over the past 15 months with ivermectin & the I-MASK+ protocol at flccc.net. None have gone to hospital. Just sayin'

To all the comments asking for sources/names for the below: 1) This came from a highly credible source inside Congress who has asked to remain anonymous 2) I would never divulge the medical treatments of individual members, nor do I know them myself I fully stand by this tweet.

This is pretty bombshell. However, due to the honorable nature of these doctors because they comply with HIPAA, we won't be able to get the names of those that are using IVM. The moment we have hard proof of this... well, nothing will happen.

Japan introduces Ivermectin August 19th as acceptable treatment, both preventative and in early cases.

The numbers had been skyrocketing all summer, even though Japan went from 13% double vaxxed to 40%+.

As soon as they introduced Ivermectin regimens, guess what happened?

Aspirin lowers risk of COVID: New findings support preliminary Israeli trial
The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease.


Is aspirin also a "horse drug"?

Interesting. Same is said about Atorvastatin. I am on a low dose aspirin and low dose atorvastatin. Might explain why I never got Covid despite being around people who did (or at least those people tested positive, no serious symptoms).

Damn. These evil bastards.... I'm waiting on a shipment myself. I successfully received my first shipment which was more of a test so I wouldn't be out of too much scratch.

Hopefully in these cases it just ends with confiscation and not some sort of follow up investigation.
