A recent study in Israel demonstrated that the out-of-patent drug Ivermectin is effective in treating Covid.
However, this is absolutely not going to be approved. Even though it could save lives, the FDA would be forced to withdraw the emergency use authorization for the three US vaccines.
The FDA can only only issue EUAs when a disease is serious (which Covid supposedly is) and there’s no treatment for it.
Right now, the standard treatment is zinc and hydroxychloroquine and/or Ivermectin, but only in some hospitals in Europe. In the US, such treatments are not approved and would result in a doctor losing his license.
The FDA summarizes 32 studies on Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, none of which were combined with zinc and unsurprisingly had no clearly beneficial outcome. (Those that did had other issues which made the positive conclusions questionable.) This latest study will be added to the list, averaged out, and show zip. Or, more likely, it will be completely debunked along side the previous study in Egypt. It’s amazing how in 106 studies of Ivermectin on Covid, 585 scientists persistently got it wrong, finding positive results.
This medication only costs $1 a day, so who on earth is going to pay to lobby the FDA?
The first drug to get EUA for treatment of Covid is GSK’s sotrovimab. This is understandable because its limited treatment use doesn’t make it an actual treatment and it is under patent, so big pharma can make money. It can only be used for patients seeing a doctor with mild Covid symptoms, but not for severe symptoms.
However, there’s some good news on the horizon. Pfizer and Moderna have applied for fast track authorization of their vaccines that didn’t kill 12,313 people and save young lives.
Assuming the FDA fast tracks them, both vaccines will have full approval within six months and then the treatments that Pfizer and the rest of big pharma are currently testing to actually save lives (maybe even as good as the $1 a day Ivermectin, but much better in terms of profit) will suddenly receive approval as well.
So don’t use Ivermectin or other treatments. Just go and get a vaccine to save yourself from this dangerous disease.
