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.

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 did the same thing. I'm pretty sure it only took 3 weeks for me.


I used the same procedure. Shipping took around 3 weeks - this was back in late August.
Glad it worked out. Long time ADC user here.

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'

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?

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).

No, they just confiscate and destroy it. I'd advise everyone to avoid direct shipment to JFK.

Here's my article on the study in Italy ...

https://patrick.net/post/1340407/2021-08-01-i-guess-better-late-than-never-but-here

QP= Quercetin Phytosome

Excerpt: "Globally considered, the effect of QP seems to have a strong impact not only considering the difference in terms of admission to ICU and in terms of fatal outcome, but particularly considering the difference in terms of days of hospitalization. The days spent by subjects whose disease progressed and needed hospitalization were 131 for SC group and 11 for the QP one. This difference means that using QP as add-on therapy to standard care has reduced by 91.6% the days of hospitalization."

We've got to remove the "Needs Prescription" laws on generic, non-mental illness/opiate drugs.

Almost everywhere in the world except the USA you can get Antibiotics, Blood Pressure Meds, etc. without a Gatekeeper AMA or DEA in your way.

And no, bacteria resistant diseases are not caused by adults taking 7 days of an Antibiotic instead of the prescribed 10.

It's because risk adverse/symptom management in Nursing Homes (Docs don't want to prescribe the heroic dose that will actually kill the C. Dif for absolute sure, worried about lawsuits and big Pharma/FDA encourages this) and preventative dosing of billions of farm animals on feed lots (breakout strains aren't controlled by the preventative dose and quickly create antibiotic resistant strains).

It could be that smaller shipments pass, but larger (100+ pills) are automatically flagged. If true, this just makes things more expensive (esp. with $20-30 shipping per order).

EDIT: Looks like your order was for the same size, so it probably is random.

While average Americans face a difficult task obtaining Ivermectin, are U.S. Congress members getting it on the down low?

That’s the claim relayed by the FLCCC’s Dr. Pierre Kory. Dr. Kory states this claim comes from a highly credible source inside Congress.

If true, this indicates somewhere between 100–200 U.S. Congress members had direct knowledge of Ivermectin’s benefits to treat COVID-19.


Could just be rumor, no way to prove it.

Shipments containing Ivermectin tablets and Hydroxychloroquine pills were recently seized by customs officials in Chicago.

According to a press release from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the seizure happened at the international mail facility within Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on October 4.

The press release said that while officers were conducting an x-ray inspection of a package from China, “officers noticed some discrepancies.” The package stated that it contained “decorative beads,” CBP said.

After officers noticed the discrepancies within this package, they conducted a further investigation and discovered that instead of “decorative beads,” the package actually contained 100 tablets of Ivermectin…

…In addition to the package from China, CBP said that they intercepted another package arriving from Mexico that contained 32 more Ivermectin tablets and 40 Hydroxychloroquine pills.

Hydroxychloroquine was previously given emergency use authorization from the FDA for treatment against COVID-19 but on June, the agency repealed its authorization and warned against using it outside of a hospital setting.


Looks like this is being more widely reported now. We live in a truly insane society, hellbent on destroying itself at the behest of those that deem themselves worthy.

Me, my wife and two sons all got Covid back in Dec 2020...confirmed positive via PCR tests. In April, my wife secretly got the Pfizer vaccine because she knew I'd disapprove. Whatever.

For the past month or so, I've been on daily regimen of Quercetin 250mg, Zinc 15mg, Vitamin D 2000IU, Allicin 180mg, R-Lipoic Acid, and a multi. About 4 days ago, my wife started to get a cold and I've got nothing yet. She just started a daily regimen of Quercetin 500mg, Zinc 60mg and Allicin 360mg because she asked about my magic pills. The cold has recently moved to her sinuses so we'll see what happens.

Someone wrote me that ivermectin has been quietly approved by the NIH and sent this as evidence:

https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-2e/

I don't see that it's approved, but it does say "Characteristics of Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation for the Treatment of COVID-19"

So maybe it's just "under evaluation".

Still, that's an improvement for public health. I wonder if Pfizer will somehow block it again because it's so cheap and effective.

In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honoured the discovery of ivermectin (IVM), a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world’s most devastating tropical diseases. Since March 2020, when IVM was first used against a new global scourge, COVID-19, more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have tracked such inpatient and outpatient treatments. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments. Reductions in deaths correlated with the extent of IVM distributions in all 25 states with p < 0.002. Sharp reductions in morbidity using IVM were also observed in two animal models, of SARS-CoV-2 and a related betacoronavirus. The indicated biological mechanism of IVM, competitive binding with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is likely non-epitope specific, possibly yielding full efficacy against emerging viral mutant strains.

A Day After Our Investigative Reporter Mary Beth Pfeiffer Proved That the FDA Lied (And Thousands Likely Died) with the Ivermectin Horse-Dewormer Hoax, She Was Locked Out of Twitter

Please share the brave story by Mary Beth and Linda Bonvie far and wide, and help us beat the censors with the truth about IVM and early treatments. ...

Quoting from FDA emails obtained by Linda through the Freedom of Information Act, including from the acting commissioner, the story documents that one of the most popular tweets in FDA history, written to shame people into not taking ivermectin for covid-19—“You Are Not a Horse. You are Not a Cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it”—was based not only on inaccurate medical science but bad reporting of flawed data, a 3,400-percent exaggeration.

Yet that was enough for the government, just as it pushed more for mass vaccination, to launch a weeks-long media onslaught to demonize a Nobel-Prize-winning human drug with powerful efficacy against covid—one of the safest human drugs in history—as dangerous horse medicine.

How many covid-19 patients died without access to ivermectin as a result we’ll never know. It was enough for CNN and other media to unleash a barrage of lies about Joe Rogan taking horse medicine that finally forced the rankled podcaster to demand an apology from CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta for his network’s deceptive reporting. “It’s a lie! It’s a lie on a news network!” Rogan said, “You are talking about a drug that has been given out to billions and billions of people…Why would they lie and say that is horse dewormer? I can afford people medicine, motherfucker. It’s ridiculous.”


Ivermectin cures people and saves lives.

But it doesn't make money for Pfizer and the rest of the Big-Pharma/woke/government mafia.

So they suppress it, and people die because of it.

Wokeness kills people. Lots of people.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nebraska-ag-doug-peterson-legal-opinion-ivermectin-hcq-covid/


Groundbreaking: Nebraska AG Says Doctors Can Legally Prescribe Ivermectin, HCQ for COVID, Calls Out FDA, CDC, Fauci, Media for ‘Fueling Confusion and Misinformation’
At the request of the Nebraska Department of Health, on Oct. 15, Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson issued a legal opinion that Nebraska healthcare providers can legally prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID, so long as they obtain informed consent from the patient. ...

For example, a paper published in the Lancet — one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world — denounced hydroxychloroquine as dangerous, yet the statistics were flawed and the authors refused to provide analyzed data.

The paper was retracted, but not before countries stopped using the drug and trials were cancelled or interrupted.

“The Lancet’s own editor-in-chief admitted that the paper was a ‘fabrication,’ a ‘monumental fraud’ and a ‘shocking example of research misconduct’ in the middle of a global health emergency,” ...

Peterson cited numerous studies showing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine reduced mortality by up to 75% or more when used as a preventative or prophylaxis for COVID, suggesting hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved had the drugs been widely used in America. ...

Peterson cited several studies showing ivermectin led to improvement of COVID outcomes when used in early treatment or as a prophylaxis, while noting many studies with negative findings about ivermectin “excluded most available evidence,” cherry picked data within studies, misreported data, made unsupported assertions of adverse reactions to ivermectin and had “conclusions that did follow from evidence.”

Peterson also found that epidemiological evidence for ivermectin’s effectiveness, derived by analyzing COVID-related data from various states, countries or regions is instructive in the context of a global pandemic.

In one instance, a group of scholars analyzed data comparing COVID rates of countries that routinely administer ivermectin as a prophylaxis and countries that did not. The research showed “countries with routine mass drug administration of pro­phylactic … ivermectin have a significantly lower incidence of COVID-19.”
