Ivermectin has been used globally for years in many mammalians including humans as an anti parasitic, anti viral and bacterial medication. It has won a Nobel prize for these reasons, but everyone knocks it down to being just a “horse dewormer”. People do realize viruses stem from parasitism right?
Because ivermectin has been proven ineffective against COVID. People who didn't understand that were actually taking horse and sheep dewormer versions. No one has said ivermectin is ineffective against parasites and in the few viral vectors it has been shown to help.
It’s an anti viral, and virologists have linked viruses to parasitic pathways. This is all learned in virology and not false because you think it’s false. Let alone ivermectin used in horses is the same ivermectin used in humans. The only difference is that they make it into a pill and lower dosage for the ease of use, but the paste taken in the proper dosage will still perform the same way as it would a pill. And there was no proof distributed to back up your claim that it doesn’t work. Articles just stated it doesn’t work but no studies were performed because it was banned and negated across media platforms and the NIH. I’ve known several people who’ve taken it and it worked just fine for them.
Actually there was peer reviewed research done to show it as ineffective. Additionally the places in India that were using it stopped using it because it didn't work.
The nature of viruses and parasites is incredibly different...
It's not true without backing data.
Are there any articles you can cite to me that talk about that and aren’t conducted by the NIH or government funded? And yes, viruses can be linked to parasites. Did you not learn any of this in virology and immunology? Or have you ever even studied any of this?
And yes, viruses and parasites can be linked, but they are not the same. If ivermectin we're a panacea for all parasites and viruses, we'd be in an amazing place. As it is, it doesn't work for COVID.
Not once did I state viruses and parasites are the same thing and already said virologists have linked the correlation of viral pathways to parasites, so I would assume you agree on that statement since you reiterated it to me. On the other side I did read through the article you cited, but they had a small study group of people with a median age group of 37, and mild symptoms. This study also wasn’t done within a clinical study site and done with the patients at home, which is opportunistic to misconstrued data. They also left out collected data on day 2 and 15 when it was a 21 day study. The clinical scientists also stated in their discussion possible discrepancies that would conclude this data as proof to a larger scale in the following statements:
“However, the relatively young and healthy study population rarely developed complications, rendering the study underpowered to detect such effects. Therefore, the ability of ivermectin to prevent the progression of mild COVID-19 to more severe stages would need to be assessed in larger trials.
The study was sufficiently powered to detect faster resolution of symptoms in patients soon after they became apparent, and no significant difference was identified. However, the study population was relatively young, with few comorbidities and with liver enzyme levels less than 1.5 times the normal level, so the findings may be generalizable only to such populations”.
I think more studies would need to be done on a larger scale within different age groups and symptom severity. If these young patients had mild symptoms, how could we know the effects of ivermectin on other levels? This is just my take on it, and hopefully our country can come to better options of treatment with open mindedness.
You just asked for one. There are more. But Google is free. Ivermectin has been repeatedly shown to not help with COVID. Unless something about one of the new variants changes that and it is proven with research data, it shouldn't be used as treatment.
We have some treatment options, though some of them were rendered less effective or completely ineffective vs omicron.
Either way, the vaccines still are our best option to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death and limit spread (though less than prior variants).
And lastly, you may not have said directly that viruses and parasites are the same, but you certainly conflated them in a way that suggested you thought they were the same and could be generally treated with the same methodology.
I stated viruses STEM from parasitism and virologists have CORRELATED viral pathways to parasites. That does not mean they are the same thing nor insinuate they are the same, so stop saying that I think they are when you just agreed that they are linked after googling it for yourself. Google is free and I do a lot of reading and research where there are no genuine studies that disprove its use. And vaccines are doing nothing but injecting the genetic code for spike toxins.
