Take Ivermectin Now!

   Here's what conservatives are advocating and, generally, have been advocating:
   
   1. Don't take the COVID vaccine
   2. Don't wear a mask
   
   and now...
   
   3. Take Ivermectin
   
   Seeing the above three items, all of which have been pushed by the right-wing, any logical person would think that conservatives are trying to kill their constituents.
   
   The Ivermectin solution has been touted by Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham on Fox News and Senator Ron Johnson on his official Twitter account. Yet, here are the scientific facts about all three items:
   
   1. The vaccine is safe and effective, dramatically reducing a person's chance of contracting COVID.
   2. Masks help reduce the spread of COVID and provide herd protection the more people who wear them along with some protection for the wearer.
   3. Ivermectin is a drug for animals that does nothing to stop COVID and will potentially kill humans who take it on a regular basis.
   
   What is so hard for people to understand here? Pushing Ivermectin while pushing anti-vaccination and anti-mask viewpoints is insanity. There's no other word for it. It's insanity. Can you imagine somebody who would consider taking a deworming drug for horses instead of the vaccine?
   
   And anybody who would vote for Senator Johnson or watch Carlson or Ingraham after they've pushed these combination of lies cannot be characterized as anything other than completely stupid or brainwashed.

      Counting covid death by only 6% purely covid (CDC) is a really weak claim of a human death.
      When considering , covid, deaths are from the 78% are obese or 75% people over age 80 + or 95% covid are over age 50.
      Plus
      Biologists estimate that 380 trillion viruses are living on and inside your body right now—10 times the number of bacteria. Some can cause illness, but many simply coexist with you. Kind of a cosmic soup. Plus no doctor of sciencist really know what covid mutations or variants are going to do. Yet billionaires never stop thinking of ways to kill us.
      
      Dexamethasone has been well accepted in South Africa. Totally eliminate covid deaths in Botswana Africa. Also approved by WHO, CDC and a number of other health organizations.
      
      Works better than any vaccines
      All this fear about delta variant and the weak danger from it, hardly mentioned. The 99% unvaccinated are said to have it. Nonsense, there is no test site for delta, it's all made up. 2021 is a push designed to treat unvaccinated Americans like an oppressed group, total discrimination and unlawful.
      
      In Canada maritime heart disease deaths are 1000 times greater than covid deaths. Now they don't get proper service for examination and surgery.
      
      Don't count 10 other ways to die greater than covid. It a grandeur crime ever produced for billionaires in my lifetime.

         You're comments are irrelevant. These people are telling people lies and those lies are increasing their risks of getting sick and dying. On a large scale, those lies are overwhelming our health care system with sick people. Your arguments are dangerous.
         
         If every person got vaccinated, this pandemic would be over.
         
         The point is that the three items I mentioned are factual statements and Carlson, Ingraham, and Johnson are promoting and advancing lies that stupid people believe and that endanger the public health. ICU beds are gone in many states. No oxygen is available in many. And people who are sick with things that they couldn't have voluntarily stopped are being turned away.
         
         We're starting to see arguments for forced vaccination that are legitimate. If we were at war, we could see forced conscription. That's the government forcing young men to fight and potentially die. That's not even close to mandating you get vaccinated.

            Covid has already been claimed as a world war. Costing 6 trillion from the just the US. That alone costing greater than the second world war combined with the same group of people behind it. When the side effects from covid viruse costs are totally outrageous. It's not even on the top ten ways to die in the world. Cost far greater lives in isolation, relationships, one third of small businesses, suicide, homelessness, poverty, hyper inflation, so on and so on. Probably already in the 10s millions and I predict greater deaths than the second world war. Nothing to this scale effects every person on earth. Has to be stopped and treatment like a nasty flu.

            "If every person got vaccinated, this pandemic would be over."
            
            Who is telling lies now?
            
            "Israel's Grim COVID Data Suggests Vaccines Alone Won't Stop Pandemic
            
            Scientists around the world have closely watched Israel to see how vaccinations could affect the pandemic, since the country launched a rapid vaccination campaign in December 2020. This saw more than half of its population fully vaccinated as early as March this year.
            
            Yet Israel currently has one of the worst rates of biweekly COVID cases per million people in the world as the country battles the delta variant, according to figures collected by OurWorldInData as of August 24.
            
            Breakthrough cases are also a matter of concern. Earlier this month, Science magazine reported that 514 Israelis were hospitalized with COVID as of August 15, that 59 percent of these had been fully vaccinated, and that the vast majority of these fully vaccinated people were aged 60 or older.
            
            Uri Shalit, a bioinformatician at the Israel Institute of Technology, told Science that "most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated."

               Yes, because there are people who want the vaccine but cannot be vaccinated due to shortages and then there are those such as yourself that serve as hosts for mutations to occur and reinfect people as a variant.
               
               It is not that hard to understand. This is why it is important to pay attention in school during mathematics class. There is something called probabilities and chance when it comes to mutations. Vaccines in the full population lower this chance to near zero.
               
               I bet you are one of those that did not believe in the existence of small pox or the role vaccines played in eradicating polio across the world. Polio is still present in a few cases here and there, but it is mostly gone.

                  Israel is one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world.  It is also suffering from some of the highest rates of vaccinated people still getting Covid and suffering from the effects.
                  
                  "I bet you are one of those that did not believe in the existence of small pox or the role vaccines played in eradicating polio across the world. Polio is still present in a few cases here and there, but it is mostly gone."

                     The detla variant is different and it is known from the get-go that vaccines were less effective against it. I go back to this statement I made:
                     
                     "Yes, because there are people who want the vaccine but cannot be vaccinated due to shortages and then there are those such as yourself that serve as hosts for mutations to occur and reinfect people as a variant.
                     
                     There is something called probabilities and chance when it comes to mutations. Vaccines in the full population lower this chance to near zero."
                     
                     It is not emotions it is common sense. Also Israel serves as a good test for how long until booster shots are needed:
                     
                     "People vaccinated in January had a 2.26 times greater risk for a breakthrough infection than those vaccinated in April." From here https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08 … feat-delta
                     
                     The danger lies when people have half the facts and stop reading or trying to understand further if it satisfies their agenda, one that you clearly have and which is anti-science from vaccines to anthropogenic global warming to probably the earth being spheroid. No emotions involved here, other than pity.

               Your presentation is still just half of the story...
               
               "Newsweek was unable to get confirmation from Israel's health ministry regarding current data on how vaccinated people have fared in terms of deaths or the seriousness of their condition compared to unvaccinated people—but the severity of the cases in hospitalized patients brings the purported mildness of breakthrough cases to the fore."
               
               This is key and what it is we need to ascertain. As the article indicates, there are no "silver bullets". But if vaccines can be shown to reduce the severity of COVID infection, death or severe disability, how can we dismiss that as not beneficial?

                     Taking a sample from August 16, 2021:
                     
                     154.7 severely ill patients in Israel were unvaccinated.
                     48.4 severely ill patients were partially vaccinated
                     And 19.8 severely ill patients were fully vaccinated

                           Again, getting the vaccine in the false belief that it will end the spread of Covid is simply insane.  The effectiveness of the vaccine decreases significantly after just six months of getting vaccinated.
                           
                           "LONDON: Protection against COVID-19 offered by two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines begins to fade within six months, underscoring the need for booster shots, according to researchers in Britain.
                           
                           After five to six months, the effectiveness of the Pfizer jab at preventing COVID-19 infection in the month after the second dose fell from 88% to 74%, an analysis of data collected in Britain's ZOE COVID study showed."

                              88 to 74 is a significant decrease, but a much more significant increase from 0% is what everyone here on this thread is saying. So it seems like we are in agreement.
                              
                              Furthermore, if everyone had the 74% chance of not catching it, then the likelihood of it spreading would be even lower. This is simple statistics and as I said something learnt in highschool. So not getting the vaccine saying it is not effective is at best stupid.

                                    This is why there are studies and discussions of when the next jab is needed. There is going to be a point when there is low protection, I don't think it will ever be zero because that would need 100% loss in immunity for everyone across the board.
                                    
                                    Polio needs 4 jabs for instance and that is for a virus that is not really mutating.

                                          Really hard to look at that and declare the vaccine does not work or is not proven to work.  Not when the 40% of the population that has been jabbed comprise less than 2% of either COVID cases or COVID hospitalizations.  It just isn't rocket science to figure out that it works and is proven to work.

         That is the thing (about Trump being isolated), people in power know that their base can be won with such stuff. When he was infected he went or was taken to regular hospitals.
         
         We have the same situation back in India. There are quite a few idiots who claim Ayurveda is superior to western medicine but when they are sick they go to regular hospitals. Ayurveda does have its own share of benefits though because after all it is just herbs and stuff and your body does need different things to function properly.

It tone and rejuvenate my digestive, respiratory, and immune system.                                   Despite that, not in spite of it, I still voluntary went to take a  Moderna vaccine shot. The effect for two days was a mild fever and headache, and a nube shoulder. I did not go for any medication. All just go on the third day.                                        That does not mean that if I am actually sick of a high fever, I should visit the alternate practitioner. No. I take home remedies as a relief and visit the orthodox practitioner.                                    Seriously, regular taking of fresh home-made remedies seems to help boost immunity to a limited extend

   Castlepaloma states that "In Canada maritime heart disease deaths are 1000 times greater than covid deaths."
   
   I have no idea what is meant by "maritime," but let's do the math.
   
   As of today, 26,900 people in Canada have died of COVID-19. Multiply by 1,000 and that brings the total of 26,900,000 deaths from heart disease out of Canada's total population of 38,008,005.
   
   I think a calamitous death toll of that scale might have been noticed and commented upon.

   I had not heard of  Ivermectin or as I recognize it as STROMECTOL is a drug that has been used for many years for intestinal parisites of all kinds, such as pinworms in children is given in small doses. In more severe parasites as a rule it is only used in adults. Not sure why it would do anything to help with the prevention of COVID.  This drug is only used for a couple of days, it would not be recommended to take for any longer it can cause liver problems.
   
   Hopefully, if anyone thinks of taking it they check out the side effects --- there are many. As a nurse that has given the drug, I was educated to watch the Pt for many side effects, mostly gastrointestinal side effects such as vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea, skin rash, and water retention.
   
   Not a drug that should be taken lightly. One should consult with their doctor before even considering taking it.

         I’m afraid that showcases the differences in philosophies. My opinion is, if you take care of yourself, pay your own bills, don’t involve others unnecessarily in your drama; your actions and decisions are your own to bear.  Those opposed, tend to bow to one authority, not allowing input from other resources, and not attempting to understand the thought processes that lead others to decisions. Honestly, that side has given up all ability of independent thought. It just attempts to bludgeon everyone with opinions they rarely understand but take at face value because they’ve decided to trust wholeheartedly in one source.
         
         Considering the behavior, recommendations and motivation of the WHO, I’d think anyone can see the danger of a lack of open ears and eyes.

There are people of the opinion that it is not the case and that there are false death numbers being displayed. I agree that in some places there are issues with numbers, but more often than not they are underrepresented on a global scale.

When facts are very real, say it is in a certain specific fingure, it is madness to ignore or deny those.                                                   For instance, if a person has problem breathing, should one rush to say it is catarrah, or a cold, or covid?

   So, lots of assumptions on this thread and not enough facts.
   
   Here is a study concerning the use of Ivermectin from the National Institute of Health.
   
   "Conclusions:
   Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified."

      This was a good read, I looked into it further and it seems that the FDA is asking people not to take doses meant for animals, which is fair enough?
      
      Also, it is not yet approved because it is not yet passed studies. For a minute think outside your country and look at global studies. The world is not doing things to be against Trump, that may or may not be the case in the USA.
      
      "The Covriin specialist group also does not recommend the general use of ivermectin. The committee with experts from medicine and science regularly gives treatment recommendations for Covid-19 for Germany. In the current therapy overview, the experts only advocate “use for therapy or prophylaxis only in the context of controlled clinical studies”. In other words: The research on ivermectin remains promising. Acquiring the product as a private person and taking it preventively against Covid-19, however, is not advisable."

         Yes and the more people who refuse the vaccine the slower it goes away.
         
         Finding a cure is different from finding a vaccine. In one case you get sick and hope the cure works the other there is a 60 - 80% chance you do not get sick in the first place. The added benefit is that if society as a whole (a large part of it) gets the vaccine the many ifs in my previous post will reduce the likelihood of it spreading and getting rid of it altogether.
         
         But being a realist I know this will never happen in today's political scenario where everyone thinks the government is out to get them.
