First hydroxychloroquine, now ivermectin, is the hated deadly drug de jour, castigated by the medical establishment and regulatory authorities. Both drugs have been around for a long time as FDA-approved prescription medications. Yet now we are told they are as deadly as arsenic. (snip) The Guardian describes ivermectin as horse medicine reminding readers considering taking the drug, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow”, saying it’s a medicine meant for farm animals. The FDA echoed that sentiment in a recent tweet, adding “Seriously, y’all. Stop it”, their word choice making it obvious who the tweet was directed to.

The simple answer to this question is "follow the money".
But even more importantly, the powers-that-be don't want anything that will treat Covid, since they are using the fear of Covid to control the masses of peasants. If the peasants looked at the raw numbers, they would realize how little chance they have of getting seriously ill or dying of this virus. When peasants get angry, out come the pitchforks and tar and feathers for the bureaucrats that tried to scare them for so long. So they want you to live in fear as long as possible.

Why indeed? It doesn't work, so why do some people try to persuade other people to take it?

Discussions of the various "virus treatments" tend to take on an air of religious fervor these days.

It worked quite well in India #2, so why would you try to persuade people not to take it? Further, how do you know it doesn't work? Did you even read the article?

Ivermectin was invented as a drug for humans, and eventually was expanded to be used for animals, too.
Now the hateful death lovers insist it is "horse medicine", which is a total lie, as usual.
And the Japanese Medical Association is apparently still primarily interested in saving lives, so has endorsed it's use for Wuhan flu. At the same time CDC and AMA are against saving lives, so oppose the use of this safe and life-saving treatment.

I may have to get some and keep on hand in case my horse shows symptoms of the flu

It saved a good friend of mine. That's all I need to know.
Fauci needs to go along with all 3 letter agencies! They've all been corrupted!

The CDC seems fixated on vaccination and forgot that people are still getting the Covid virus. They seem to brush off the thought of any type of treatment. Why can't we have both? Seems like that would be a more effective way to beat Covid than leaving the infected to chance and just let the virus run its course.

Why aren't we hearing more about Regeneron, a proven treatment?

The guardian is ignorant, trying to discourage a medication because it's given to horses. Vets give medications to animals that physicians give to patients.
Oh, how ignorant!!!

Our DC bureaucrats only speak of vaccines, never about treatments. Why is that? Cheap and effective drugs apparently are not part of the plan to defeat the virus. And look where we are, in the midst of another Joe Biden Failure. His campaign platform was that he would crush the virus.

Published in March, a study of African countries where ivermectin use is prevalent versus African countries where it isn't:
"Conclusions: The morbidity and mortality in the onchocerciasis endemic countries are lesser than
those in the non-endemic ones. The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is
the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas
where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant
reduction in mortality."

The fuss is that the EUA's require there to be no alternatives. But there are. And there can't be.

What's the fuss, indeed.
Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize in 2015, and now its the devil's spawn?
Somebody's got some 'splainin to do.

Yes. Both drugs are "generic," so they can be made cheaply and although profitable, not as profitable as branded drugs. For example, Viagara is now available in generic (cheaper) versions. You don't see Viagara ads anymore, because the extremely high Big Pharma margins are gone. If someone could come up with a new version.of HCG or Ivermectin, Big Pharma, Doc Fauci, and the media whores would be pushing it as the savior of us all. At $6 a pill. Or more.

#11, I daresay, Xiden doesn't want to crush the virus. He wants to crush people who don't do his bidding.

#12 - I am believe Ivermectin is the primary solution for Covid, but the Africa study you cite concerned River Blindness, not Covid.

My brother and his wife, a retired public health nurse, both had been fully vaccinated (Moderna) when they contracted COVID 19 last month. After two weeks of semi-misery, they went to their family physician, who prescribed Ivermectin, azithromycin, and zinc. My brother started feeling better within hours. Both were well enough the following day to resume normal routines of gardening and household chores. Within days they were fully recovered.

It is sad that wise commentary such as Dr. Joondeph's is ignored or responded to in the most hostile manner. He states the obvious, and they hate him for it.

Suffice it to say this past week has completely put me off the medical industry. Thank God we found a home health service through a retired doc in our Bible study. We are now on the path to recovery.

Our dog’s vet got Ivermectin from the animal supply house and started taking it as a prophylactic.
My ionophone of choice is CO-Q10 and source of zinc are elderberry gummies. One each, twice a day. So far, so good.

It worked fine in India, but the Iowa vaccine promoter is certain that it doesn't work in the USA

My ionophore of choice is Quercetin with zinc. I also take vitamin C and D3.
I read a comment which put it perfectly: zinc is the bullet that takes care of the virus. The ionophore (ivermectin, HCQ, quercetin, etc.) is the rifle firing the bullet so it can do its job.
And I'm STILL not getting the clot shot!!
