    Lol at all the people taking experimental drugs becasue one person that is in cahoots with big pharma (Fauci and Pfizer) says so...

    You know what, Pfizer is now working on their own version of Ivermectin... for sale soon, as a preventative I am sure.

    I cannot for the life of me understand this hostility toward those who choose to not take the vaccine.

    I for one have no hostility towards anyone over not choosing to take the vaccine. I do take issue with those who choose not to while parroting the same nonsensical reasons and political rhetoric.

    Ivermectin is not experimental. It has been used as an anti-parasitic with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties for years.

    Do yourself a favor and stop getting your health information from the media.

    It’s experimental when it comes to treating COVID.

    I had this conversation with my good friend who is an anesthesiologist. He said it is all politics, it is not science. Also, some hospitals have mandated vaccines and have had nurses quit and go to work at hospitals that don't require it.

    So if countries were legally obligated to fulfill their contracts with Pfizer regardless of other medications or even elimination of the virus, why would Pfizer need to suppress any info? Let the whole world use Ivermectin, still gotta pay Pfizer regardless.

    If you actually read the studies you would have seen that the studies were of low quality and the majority of studies were non-peer-reviewed trials with methodological variances and inadequate statistical significance, no definitive conclusions can be drawn.

    I actually get my data from real sources but thanks for the straw man and the ad hominem attack.


    Ivermectin for preventing and treating COVID-19

    LOL. My sister is a physician. If I have any doubts about something I’m reading or how things are looking, I’ll take that view over Facebook nurses. Not that she is my sole source of medical information. Just the one I probably chat with most to see how things are going overall.

    You should realize - nurses don’t necessarily know anything about vaccines (other than how to administer). Nurses are not researchers. Nurses are not scientists. Some can be knowledgeable, others can be brainless automotons. Though you would think ones that work in the covid unit would be automatically shocked into being 100% vaccinated just based on all the illness and death they see, sadly I know all to well that is not always the case.

    Ok where are the high quality RCT’s then? Why did Brazil fail miserably to contain COVID with widespread Ivermectin use?

    Could be, but I believe @philnotfil and others make a good point re: Lagging death statistics. Remember that some of the deceased end up staying in the ICU for weeks. Then there is a matter of processing and reporting the data before it makes it to sources such as Worldometer, Johns Hopkins, etc. Perhaps we will find that the delta variant was less lethal on a case-by-case basis and that could possibly be a factor also. I tend to think, though, that it's about treatment, vax, and death as a lagging factor.
