Turns out people with all levels of rationality like music and movies and like to use MC to enjoy them. I can't speak to the lunacy of social media, I have personally never had an account with facebook, twitter, tic toc, etc. I do however read a lot and keep up to date with mainstream "news". I also keep up with independent news. I watch a lot of interviews with doctors, nurses and scientists. I tend to trust the front line doctors and researchers more than big bird, software engineers, and companies that have been criminally charged billions of dollars.
--- Quote ---Ivermectin is used for killing parasites in animals. That's what the creators got a Nobel prize for.

I had porridge for breakfast today, can you believe I ate horse food. Ivermectin has been around since the 60s, it is not just for animals. It is even used for rosacea. If thousands of doctors are using it successfully then it warrants the time and resources to look into it scientifically. Instead it has been part of a smear champagne by cnn and others. "People are eating horse paste".
I had dinner with a friend last night, her husband is in Japan visiting family so we discussed how Japan is doing. Turns out the US has 3 times the population as japan, but has had 40 times as many people die from Covid. Japan has approved, and uses, Ivermectin. Has Japan been corrupted by social media? Their low death rate doesn't prove Ivermectin works, but it may be correlation. It is worth looking into scientifically. Science is a methodology, it is not a religion who's priests are paid by big pharma and by the patents for the drugs they are pushing.
So instead of giving existing drugs a chance that are proven safe and effective, the pharma companies have received, and are seeking, emergency approval for untested drugs. Drugs that destroy peoples kidneys, and the latest one that is a repurposed aids treatment.
Is the new African strain called omicron? Omega would have been better. Or will it be covid 21? Convenient timing as updated vaccines and boosters are just being released. I wonder if those test results that will be released in 2076 too.
Discussion and debate are part of a healthy mind and part of a healthy society. Propaganda, outrage, and censorship are not. We should be listening to the many doctors that are successfully treating patients, not cancelling them.
It may however be time to cancel Sesame Street. If anyone is looking for a good tv show to watch try Dopesick starring Michael Keaton.

In the facts department, your chances of being positive for Covid are currently 5x higher if you're unvaccinated, and your chances of dying from it are 13x greater.

Straight from the NIH site, small study on Ivermectin:

That site is a library site. NIH does not endorse the research.
The study is very small. The authors state that larger studies need to be done. Far from conclusive.
Additional Information: The research was analyzed by NIH and found to be inconclusive at best.

Key Limitations:
Small sample size
Unclear whether both IVM and DOX placebos were used.
Excluded patients with chronic diseases.
Disease appears to have been mild in all patients; thus, the reason for hospitalization is unclear.
Absolute changes in inflammatory markers were not presented, but were reportedly significant.
PCR results are not a validated surrogate marker for clinical efficacy.
Interpretation:
A 5-day course of IVM resulted in faster virologic clearance than placebo, but not a faster time to resolution of symptoms (fever, cough, and sore throat). Because time to virologic clearance is not a validated surrogate marker for clinical efficacy, the clinical efficacy of IVM is unknown.

The Nebraska Attorney General's office issued a Opinion on October 15, 2021 called the Prescription of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine as Off-Label Medicines for the Prevention or Treatment of Covid-19. The paper discusses the history of Ivermectin and how its antiviral properties had been studied prior to COVID-19.
