    The miss use of drugs can kill people. It's true for all prescription drugs and drugs meant for large farm animals too.

    Now do India and Japan on their widespread use of Ivermectin...

    Ivermectin isn't approved for covid use in Japan. Why don't you tell us more about their widespread use of Ivermectin.

    Pfizer Releases Brand New, Never-Before-Seen Drug 'Pfivermectin'

    [​IMG]

    U.S.—After several successful rounds of trials and a quick overnight approval from the FDA, Pfizer proudly announced they will be releasing a brand new, never-before-seen COVID drug "Pfivermectin."

    "It's important to understand that this drug is nothing like Ivermectin, even though Pfivermectin rhymes with Ivermectin and it pretty much does the exact same thing," said Pfizer CEO Hans Pfizer. "Everyone knows Ivermectin is a widely discredited horse drug, and ours is not. Very important distinction there."

    People misusing drugs? Happens all the time sadly. This is a ridiculous attempt to demonize a treatment that can work.

    I know multiple people that have used the ivermectin treatment as prescribed by a doctor. In fact was chatting with a friend (husband a MD) whose mom (she is such a sweet person) had a not so good run in with Covid. Funny thing was that her mom had about every single comorbidity that you would not want (type 2 diabetic though not overweight/asthma/old). And also the worst of her issues actually came after Covid was taken care of. They used the ivermectin with zinc/vitamin C/etc and it worked. But they also did not misuse the drugs.

    Had a buddy in California whose whole family picked up Covid. Ivermectin as prescribed by the doctor worked.

    I would not use this drug as a prophylactic like some. But as prescribed by the doctor if one gets treatment. I would absolutely consider the treatment.

    Vaccinated or Unvaccinated. :cool::D

    I suppose they are fast-tracking this drug to full FDA approval as a therapeutic for Covid-19?

    Yeah, that'll show big pharma. Ivermectin is only covered up because it was produced by known charitable organization Merck.

    Yeah, it's not called pfivermectin but has some of the same properties as ivermectin and probably costs 100 times as much.

    My daughter was exposed last week at school, and again at her part time work. She started not feeling well Monday, though she thought it was just allergies. Our of precaution since we knew she was exposed, we got her tested, and it came back positive. Fortunately, she's a fully vaccinated, otherwise healthy, 16-year old. So far, worst symptom has been stuffy nose that's causing a sore throat.

    Took the rest of the family to get tested yesterday, and all came back negative. My daughter has been sequestered in her room mostly, with us delivering meals. Will likely continue this way for about another week. Poor kid, but at least she has her phone and computer.

    My daughter is also very good at wearing her mask when out in public. No mandates at all in our town or school system, but it's recommended and voluntary. Not a single one of her friends has tested positive, and we all notified them to get tested immediately. Anecdotal evidence only, but other positive tests at the school have resulted in clusters. So far, my daughter is the only one in her group, which suggests she picked it up at work.

    For reference, here are the reported Covid deaths per state according to the CDC per state. So we are worried about something that is in the neighborhood of .2-2% of all pediatric deaths. And this doesn't even take into account that the CDC has said 35% of pediatric covid deaths have nothing to do with covid.

    Look at this new data... And that Rendesivir is poison... I would NEVER take that drug.

    ATTORNEY THOMAS RENZ "We Got Them. Fact Check This!" ALL NEW WHISTLEBLOWER INFO


    The Total number of American Citizens that died within 14 days of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is 48,465 according to hard data revealed in the Medicare Tracking System.


    In July Attorney Renz Whistleblower, under penalty of perjury, stated that she estimated at least 45K people had died from the Covid-19 Vaccine. USA Today Fact Checkers and other fact checking services claimed that to be “misinformation.” Today’s revelations solidify that the “Trusted News Initiative” is actually the source of misinformation and propaganda, and that Attorney Thomas Renz Whistleblower was correct all along.


    After proving that over 45K people have died from the COVID-19 vaccine, Attorney Renz then moved his attention to focus on the amount of people that are being killed in American hospitals by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s instituted protocol of Remdesivir.



    Attorney Renz is also in possession of Remdesivir death data from the Medicare Tracking System that has been withheld by the government from our citizens.


    The Remdesivir data reveals of the 7,960 beneficiaries prescribed Remdesivir for Covid-19 2,058 died. That is 25.9%.


    46% of people died within 14 days of the Remdesivir Treatment. The Remdesivir Treatment was established in U.S. Hospitals at the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

    Wow, they really got em this time!

    a few questions though… I could be wrong, but once you’ve hit the point of receiving Remdesivir, aren’t you in pretty rough shape? The article fails to mention if it’s the Remdesivir that contributed to the deaths or the advanced stage of Covid. Kind of like that debate of dying w/Covid vs of Covid. Did the Remdesivir kill them or the Covid while taking it? Couldnt the article also state %65 of patients treated with Remdesivir recovered, depending on the slant you want to provide?
