    Just so folks know, I don't want you get the wrong idea, those that are sick, it's a bitxx, I'm sure, but being sick has ALWAYS been tough, cripes, like I say, I had really bad respiratory illnesses a long time ago, AND WORKED THROUGH THEM! Okay, some knocked me down, but it was part of life. You lay low for week watching Wendy Williams, hack your brains out, felt like crap. I know many are frustrated with this, just when I say it's poppycock, I'll get sick, but for the record, I live in a 48 unit apartment compound, in all this, 2 people got the virus, 1 never got sick, the other fully recovered, I just don't see people dropping over dead, like the plague. 500,000 people die every year from cigarettes, STILL, we never hear of that, do we? Another example, I blab to our local Walmart cashiers, mostly older women, hey, never know, and they say, out of the literally HUNDREDS of strangers they interact with everyday, NOT ONE,,has gotten the virus. I'm simply saying, being sick is part of living, and yes it's an inconvenience, and yes, many die of respiratory illnesses, heck, years ago, it was pneumonia that did most old folks in, the official cause of death? Natural causes. Mom had some potions, but we all got sick, and some died, but most made it. The internet has a knack of whipping news into a frenzy, I can only imagine has a lot to do with this. Before computers, we just never heard of every blip on the screen, and you know, I think that was bliss in itself. BTW, a neighbor got the booster shot, she was knocked down for 3 days, worst she's felt in years and would never get another. Just sayin',,

    Ivermectin is lately know as "horse dewormer", even though it won the Nobel Prize for it's uses in humans. Does it work against Corona? Well, the studies seem to say it does. Why? Because it just so happens to be a pretty great protease inhibitor. Basically it keeps the virus from being able to replicate itself. Ever heard of Remdesivir? It's like that, but even stronger.

    Here's what PubMed has to say:
    Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments.

    This is from a medical journal:
    Molecular Docking Reveals Ivermectin and Remdesivir as Potential Repurposed Drugs Against SARS-CoV-2

    From Pfizer:
    All viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, have the same goal: invade our cells, use our cells’ internal machinery to make copies of itself, and then release the newly made virus to infect more of our cells. But protease inhibitors, a class of drugs long used to treat HIV and hepatitis C, have been shown to stop this process — known as the viral life cycle. These drugs work by blocking a critical enzyme, a protease, that the virus needs to replicate.

    Now Pfizer says protease inhibitors work against Corona, and we have studies showing Ivermectin is a more powerful protease inhibitor than Remdesivir. Ivermectin has been in use since 1981, with over 2.5 Billion doses worldwide. It has strict dosage guidelines. That means if you go buy some for your horse, and down the whole bottle, it's probably going to kill you.

    That's my cursory knowledge on the subject, and I'm not a doctor. But you're not going to get this info on CNN when they're quite literally sponsored by the people who profit from the vaccine. Will taking Ivermectin cure you? Maybe, maybe not. But you can never have too much information on a subject.

    Thanks @God prefers Diesels


    Ivermectin works really well for Covid pneumonia, not a mild case of just Covid. The patient has to have a DNA sequence done to see what mutation (not variant) they have as it can’t be used for all. There are multiple studies that have been done.

    I can’t explain it more intelligently like my scientist girlfriend does because she is smart and educated and I’m about 75% retarded.

    Because by the time someone has to be put on a ventilator. Its either that or guaranteed slow painful death.

    Not true. The local hospital almost forces it on people that don’t need it. When asked the survival rate of patients on ventilators……they ignore you.
