Jama on ivermectin.

It might have been useful to do studies on this, oh, a year or two ago instead of trying to squash all mention of it. It’s only Horse dewormer and whatnot.

“Follow the science” sure didn’t follow the scientific method.

And I say that as someone who didn’t understand how an wildly used antiparasitic would help with a virus, but knows that things don’t always make sense somehow work, Somebody once figured out that a mold growing on cantaloupes in Wisconsin would make a good antibiotic, after all.
 
I don’t even think it’s effective, but the obsession with it is just absurd 🤣
 
I’m not a doctor, but I believe the dosage recommended by some doctors is 20-25 times the normal dose. The dosage used in for this study is 2 times the normal dose.
According to my local vet those doses will obliterate your kidneys.
 
There is a direct correlation between between people who believe in ivermectin or COVID and people who sell amway.

Glad for you. Truly. But there’s literally zero science behind any antiviral properties of ivermectin
 
Hard for me not to believe in Ivermectin when it saved my daughter's life. Within 5 hours of taking her first does her symptoms dramatically improved and was back to work in two days.

Don't screw up this thread with reality and common sense.
 
Well there is what happened to his daughter.
And it could have been an absolute coincidence to her improvement.

I have no problem with people doing whatever they want to try and self treat. I know of several COVID ivermectin uses. All recovered but one. Most were mild to flu like symptoms. One was hospitalized for 3 weeks. One died.

All I’m stating is that there are no antiviral properties with ivermectin. The mechanism does not even make sense as a possible treatment. I think people have either prolonged their case or died by taking a treatment that honestly has zero effect - other than maybe placebo. It’s like putting a bandage on your knee for a headache.

But I repeat … I support anyone’s right to try whatever they want as long as it’s legal and doesn’t hurt others.

You don't need an anti-viral to beat Covid. Your body will do that on its own. You just have to minimize the symptoms of your body's response, primarily inflammation of the lungs. Like a kid taking Tylenol when he's sick. It lowers his fever without actually treating whatever infection or virus caused the fever.
 
The anecdotal evidence I’ve witnessed matches the science. People I know that have been vaccinated are getting infected at lower rates and are not ending up in the hospital. Those that support ivermectin treatment have had Covid and believe it helped them recover more quickly. I don’t know how you know how quickly they would have recovered without it so who knows.

I do not a single person that has dropped dead or magnetized their arm as a result of receiving up to 3 doses of the vaccine. The risk reward ratio of the vaccine vs. ivermectin seems much lower with the vaccine to me.

I regret getting the vaccine and should have trusted my body more with it’s natural immunization. I didn’t die from
but man it threw my system off and naturally immunity is certainly starting to look like a fairly effective means of defense.

At the end of the day the entire medical profession needs to reevaluate itself and the American people need to have a long hard discussion about what power we allow bureaucrats to have in our day to day lives.

If I were a “scientist” in the medical field I would be deeply embarrassed by my profession. If I were in the media I would quit over the embarrassment of my profession.
