You’re Not A Horse! You Are Not A Cow! Use Your Brain!
The mainstream media have been duped by somebody who has a lot of power into chronically reporting that the Nobel Award Winning drug “Ivermectin” is horse paste. What a perfect solution to black PR something that the protagonist wants to pillory. As soon as ivermectin is mentioned most people who haven’t gone out of their way to do any research will conjure up mental pictures of humans ingesting “horse paste” which to be quite frank would be stupid. The point is that virtually every person taking ivermectin has had it prescribed by a doctor and is taking human grade tablets. As with most misinformation there is a “pinch” of truth in this statement as veterinary grade ivermectin is used to rid horses of parasites but more than 3.5 billion doses have been given to humans over the past few decades to cure “river blindness” and other parasitic based illnesses with minimal side effects. The other thing that has to be explored is the subject of re-purposed drugs, a very common occurrence in the field of medicine. Once the patent has run out the big drug companies can no longer make huge profits. For example, the new anti-viral drug from Merck (Ivermectin’s creator) costs $700USD for 10 tablets and they have another 20 years to make pocket loads of money from its sales.
That just goes to show how much research these media reporters (don’t) do before writing articles that are riddled with misinformation. There are many drugs and antibiotics that are used in both humans and animals, does this mean that they are all “horse paste”. Even I have to admit that they have done an admirable job of making ivermectin and its supporters into laughing stocks. According to the media the answer appears to be wholeheartedly YES, ivermectin is “horse paste” and it’s hard to get that image out of your head once it has been planted there.
After doing a significant amount of research, not all of which I can admit to fully understanding, I have come to the conclusion that at 6 cents a tablet and available readily from the WHO (not certain what strength) ivermectin probably had the potential to have saved 100,000s of lives during g the current pandemic.
In the following podcast Dr David Campbell compares some research papers on Ivermectin and the recent press release from Pfizer on their new anti-viral drug. This man is a nurse educator of many decades, he is pro-vaccination, has been vaccinated himself against Covid and is well educated in medicine and physiology. It really is worth a listen as it explains how and why ivermectin works and how it compares to Phizer’s new candidate drug, PF-07321332 and HIV antiretroviral drug ritonavir, now formally called PAXLOVID. (Candidate drug: a compound (small molecule, antibody, etc.) with strong therapeutic potential and whose activity and specificity have been optimised.)
It may be a bit difficult to understand but hopefully this podcast may throw some new light on ivermectin and why it is much maligned and suppressed.
The next podcast addresses what happened with Facebook’s fact checkers soon after the above podcast was posted.
And just to give a bit more information you should listen to his discussion with Dr Tess Lawrie.
