Some conservatives are eating horse dewormer to treat COVID-19 and it's 'got out of hand fast': repo

Who's Betsy?

 

Alfred's imaginary comic book girlfriend.

 

Lol!

 

Nah. You've posted so much stupid crap over there we're all used to it Charlene I mean Charley. Reading is hard, you said it not me. Typing what you're reading is hard too.

Been on this forum a long time Charley. Seen a lot like you come and go. You're not special.

As for facts. I already put them up. They are not your friend.

And one more thing.

Spelling is hard too.

Here's another pitcher.

 

My goodness. Now I feel bad. Idea: Follow JoeNation example and ignore me. No reason to upset yourself.

 

Ignore you?

I find you amusing Charley.

 

Did some research myself.

What to know about a pro-ivermectin group’s study touting the drug versus COVID-19
By Tom KertscherJune 30, 2021
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT

• A study — actually a review of trials done with ivermectin on COVID-19 patients — claims large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are “possible using ivermectin.”
  
  
• The study was done by researchers affiliated with a group that is campaigning for ivermectin to be approved for COVID-19 use, and they did not declare that affiliation in their study. Experts said ivermectin trials on which the review is based were not high quality.
  
  
• The FDA warns against taking ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19.
  

Is the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin a "cure" for COVID-19?

We’ve rated False claims such as "mountains of data" show ivermectin "basically obliterates" COVID-19 transmission. Some limited studies suggested that ivermectin can help treat COVID-19; others show no significant impact. Many of the studies had small sample sizes and other limitations.

At the same time, ivermectin has not been universally dismissed as a potential treatment.

I don't ignore him. Once he actually says something worth responding to, I will respond in kind. Still waiting but certainly not ignoring him.

 

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were never promoted as a COVID-19 "cure". They're what's known as "therapeutics". Therapeutics reduce the severity of the body's response to the virus. It's the body's response to the virus that's deadly...not the virus itself.

Why are you advocating for tens of thousands people to needlessly die? Is this how important it is to keep a dead narrative alive? That's just cruel!

 

Well, that's a funny thing to say given the title of the research review you cited not to mention what Fox News said about prevention and treatment with regard to Ivermectin. I don't know who called Ivermectin a "cure" but it is neither a cure, nor a treatment, nor is it a prevention. I'm not even sure how splitting this hair adds to the conversation. A therapeutic is a treatment. Ivermectin is not a treatment for COVID-19. It never was and never will be in spite of what conservative media keeps telling people.



THERAPEUTIC ADVANCES
Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines

 

This is what happens when medicine becomes infected with politics. This is the real crisis!

 

the people scaring them off from the vaccine are the ones killing them. NEXT!

 

What are all of you who are railing against this afraid of, exactly?

The vaccines have been taken by hundreds of millions of people all over the world, including a majority of your fellow North Americans. There are few medicines in existence where the lack of dangerous side effects is more conclusively established. Meanwhile, it’s equally indisputable that they offer substantial protection from COVID, both reducing risk of infection and substantially reducing risk that an infection will have serious consequences. Even in places where more than 80% of the overall population is vaccinated. 99% or more of the people who die of COVID are unvaxxed.

The downside of this medicine is minuscule—24 hours of mild discomfort, at most—and the upside is massive.

Yet here you are analogizing to things like forced sterilization and personality-changing medications, which would change your lives if you were forced to undergo them, and sounding the alarm about a totalitarian state. Why expend all that effort, and set back the entire public health program to defeat COVID, over this vaccine? Frankly, it’s a silly waste of your time.
