My personal belief is if people insist their doctor treat them via their way, the doctor can do it and should consider it, but the doctor no longer has any obligation for further treatment outside of what was insisted. Unfortunately that isn't how Western medicine works.

The largest study to date on the clinical benefits of ivermectin — the vaccine of choice for right-wing conspiracy theorists — indicates the deworming medication is not effective in treating COVID-19.

Once again you miss the point.
I don't give a shit if it works or doesn't work.
I want the freedom to be able to buy it if I want to buy it.
Heroin isn't legal but I can buy that shit right down the street.
Ivermectin in human pill form shouldn't be harder to buy than illegal drugs.
They hand out Opioids like they are candy in this country but are scared of Ivermectin... Fuck You!
I'm not sure what to tell you. I wonder if you ever got all twisted pre-Ivermectin because basically nothing has changed on this front except it is now harder than ever to get opioids, contrary to your nonsense sentence.
My guess is you only care about this because your version of news has been telling you about how the doctors are keeping this medicine away blah blah blah.
I found an artist's depiction of Brian Niemietz:
I dont believe what the media says on this topic.
Sure, it's the same as Ted Cruz arguing with the black USSC nominee about critical race theory: hello, hatchet job.
It seems that searching for the truth has been replaced with searching for vindication.
The prophylactic value of Ivermectin alone (The Mcmaster study only speaks to Ivermectin as a treatment not as a prophylactic) makes it a worthwhile component in the weapons against Covid-19 even if the studies that John Campbell presented on his Youtube channel are wrong about its effectiveness as a Covid-19 treatment and the other several ongoing studies turn out to show that it is ineffective as a treatment.
Just noticed that the Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians... RIP.
If you pinpoint it down to the specific issue of ivermectin efficacy against covid, I don't know. My impression is the evidence is mixed. Study results have gone both ways, and the latest one is preliminary afaik and has some possibly major limitations. But it stuns me that leftists can be so smug in the broader context of covid response. For two years, Dems have been the party of "If it saves just one life" ... we have to destroy society.
The ivermectin controversy is more largely about medical tyranny. The left thirsts for government monopolization of health care -- not because they particularly care about poor people, but because they want to shut out their political enemies from basic functions of life. You call it a conspiracy theory, I call it a spoiler alert.
Robitussin works better then any other shit you guys are buying.
I don't think there is much controversy in terms of Ivermectin's prophylactic capabilities against Covid (and not that you wrote that there was) - but for treatment of an existing infection by itself and not as part of a compound therapy, drawing the conclusion that it doesn't work by itself would be foolhardy, and it amazes me that the left-leaning are shutting the door on it.
Covid has to be over.
Joe Rogan said he got it a second time in the form of Omnicron and only had a runny nose.
Tested Negative in one day after testing positive.
Granted he has all the medicines at his disposal and he took all of them.
He preaches kind of big on the monoclonal antibodies and I tend to believe him.
However, as I said before, 97% of people under 75 will not have any problems whatsoever and not need hospitalization no matter what they take, vaccinated or not.
Nobody cares anymore anyways.
Heck, they don't even care about the Ukraine anymore.
The MSM has moved onto other Fake Stories.
I was so happy when I went into Albertsons a couple weeks ago and I seen about 75% of people unmasked.
Albertsons stated that they would force everyone in Vegas to mask up even though the mandate was lifted.
Obviously, they couldn't enforce that and they took their No Mask No Service signs down.
I haven't seen them publicly acknowledge this but its clear that they are not requiring customers to wear masks to shop.
The main problem with the two Ivermectin studies that demonstrate negligible effect is that both studies used Ivermectin precisely as advocates would say to NOT use it. They used Ivermectin after people were ill enough to seek medical treatment, and they were charted going forward. Ivermectin advocates would say it should be used (1) as a prophylactic and (2) immediately after presumed exposure, NOT after acquiring serious symptoms. So the two studies were, in effect, non sequiturs to the question of whether Ivermectin "works."
I address the differential media treatments of Covid topics in my Propaganda Files series. Here's one regarding an Ivermectin study and a vaccine side effect study.

I'll have the follow-up to this posted in the next 48 hours.
I guess if you can't obtain the medicine you want you can travel to Kansas and pick some up.

Thanks! :o I doubt my 1-in-20 rate is sustainable long-term, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
I'm not as well-read on the topic as some here, but I try to understand basics of how reality works. It's often asserted that Fauci must be a good guy because of his long tenure serving both political parties. This tells me he's a swamp creature.
Here's the question. Some conspiracy theorists have alleged that treatments were suppressed to protect the vaccine emergency use authorization. What's the evidence against the theory? If ivermectin is blacklisted by the covid regime, then researchers are likely to steer clear of reporting positive results.
It is unfortunate the concocting a study where people take the Ivermectin with a control group and all that is such a hard thing to do with Western medicine. There are numerous hospitals/university medical centers etc which are not under the thumb of these vaccination providing corporations.
What is redietz saying, we take ivermectin at some sort of interval to keep it in our system as a prophylactic ?
The thing with Fauci is it COULD maybe just be that not everyone who works for the government is motivated by the same motivations you're assuming. Perhaps his peers respect him and he does his job well. Every sane administration that shows up sees a fairly neutral dude who is widely seen as an expert. Why WOULDN'T they keep him in place? There isn't really much political about his role. The assumptions I see here seem kinda simple, as if everyone shares the same value system and people who are doctors are all necessarily money grubbers and not people who set out to be a positive thing in the world.
Well, I'm not saying great minds may think alike, but you might enjoy:

Despite my serious issues with the forum administrator, I try to pass along important Covid information. Here is a podcast discussing a BMJ essay that lays out the issues pretty clearly. I downloaded the peer reviewed essay and will read it later today. I suggest everyone do the same.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZlZIXHT0yA&t=346s
Quick impressions before I watch the video. BMJ recommends (1) liberating regulators from drug company funding, (2) taxing pharma companies to pay for independent trials, and (3) reforming trial data protocols.
I say the problems arise from the egregious power granted to regulators, who dictate treatment availability in the marketplace. I would abolish prescriptions and all other drug restrictions for adults. If the FDA must exist, its role should be advisory only. Remove power from the regulators, and you remove the incentive to capture them.
^^^ Does that last sentence need the comma? I can't decide.
Halfway through I had to skip ahead toward the end. I'm glad leftists are recognizing problems with the system, but imo the leftist solutions are at best, rearrangements of deck chairs on the Britannic.
^^^ Does that last sentence need two commas? I can't decide.
Vanity Fair may get a Pulitzer for this. A study from Ontario regarding vaccine side effects. And a summary of Ivermectin studies and the problem with the U.S.

^^^ Watched the first 10 minutes, no lies detected.
But he'll still support Bernie's next socialized medicine proposal. Am I wrong about that?
Not too sure.
I know he is big on Free Medical Care and Unions.
For the most part, he is Entertainment.
He is a Comedian.
In either case, he reports better news compared to the MSM.
Seems to be a trend with Comedians and YouTube these days.
Last I seen I think Jimmy Dore makes about 1 Million per year from doing this YouTube Show.
So you wouldn't think he is going to do anything to jeopardize that easy nut.
In the 80's we had something similar in Morton Downey Jr.
And free college. And ($15) minimum wage.
He's probably well intentioned, but doesn't understand economics and hasn't thought through the full consequences of his proposals. He's come to recognize that government causes problems, but is locked into the mindset that problems can only be solved by government.
How do you avoid the cage when you and your team crush them for 150k?
Get smaller chips and dribble out the dough?
The cage always makes me take my mask off if I have one on and then they got you.
Personally, I gave up wearing the mask to avoid detection.
Just too much work wearing one and not very comfortable.
Dark Oz does not approve as he endorses any and all masks.
Just in case you all forgot what they said and how they continue to lie today...
