Another Trumper idiot pushing Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. YouTube suspends GOP Sen. Ron Johnson for 7 days over COVID treatment video https://nypost.com/2021/06/11/youtu...ohnson-for-7-days-over-covid-treatment-video/ YouTube has blocked Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) from uploading videos for seven days over clips the platform said violated its COVID-19 “medical misinformation policies.” The clips were taken from a June 3 appearance by Johnson at the Milwaukee Press Club in which the senator ripped the Trump and Biden administrations for “not only ignoring but working against robust research [on] the use of cheap, generic drugs to be repurposed for early treatment of COVID,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. “It always baffled me that there was such a concerted effort to deny the American public the type of robust exploration research into early treatment early in this pandemic,” Johnson added before describing the drugs hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as “incredibly safe.” A YouTube spokesman told the Associated Press on Friday that clips of Johnson’s remarks were pulled from the popular video-sharing site “in accordance with our COVID-19 medical misinformation policies, which don’t allow content that encourages people to use Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin to treat or prevent the virus.” According to the policy, enacted in May 2020, “YouTube doesn’t allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19.” The policy specifically rules out posting content that “[c]laims that Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments for COVID-19.” Hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug that is also used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, was heavily touted by then-President Donald Trump as a potential treatment for COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic. Trump even told reporters in May 2020 he was taking the drug to avoid contracting the virus. However, studies have indicated the drug is ineffective at treating coronavirus and may cause adverse effects. In December 2020, Johnson, then the chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, held a hearing at which Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary and critical care specialist at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, described ivermectin as a “wonder drug” with immensely powerful antiviral and anti-inflammatory agents. However, there is no evidence that ivermectin — a drug used to treat parasitic works — is effective in treating COVID-19. The Journal Sentinel reported that full video of Johnson’s appearance was pulled off the Milwaukee Press Club’s YouTube channel, despite assurances by club President Corri Hess that it would remain online. Johnson blasted Google-owned YouTube in a statement Friday, saying his suspension showed big tech sites “have accumulated too much unaccountable power. “Big Tech and mainstream media believe they are smarter than medical doctors who have devoted their lives to science and use their skills to save lives,” he added. “They have decided there is only one medical viewpoint allowed and it is the viewpoint dictated by government agencies.” On Thursday, Johnson stood by the treatments, claiming to reporters that “the NIH guidelines as it relates to treatment of COVID remains … to basically do nothing, go home, isolate yourself, be afraid, and if you just happen to get sick enough to where you have to check yourself in the hospital, check yourself in the hospital, [and] maybe we can save your life.” “There is growing evidence — it’s not being reported on by the media,” Johnson claimed. “Mexico’s having great success with ivermectin. Certain provinces in India are having great success with ivermectin. Where’s reporting on that? … It’s not too late. Lives can be saved. We’re still going to need early treatment, no matter how effective a vaccine is, no matter how effective immunity from having been infected is, other people will get infected. Other people are gonna need early treatment.”
GWB, do you have a medical license? Are you a board certified doctor? You are just an extreme liberal ET troll. Nothing more. I will take Dr. Simone Gold's word over yours every day of the week and 10 times on Sundays. You are just too much of an idiot. All you are good at is copying and pasting articles written by extreme liberal hacks with no credibility whatsoever.
When Trumpers aren't pushing medicines that don't work... they are still pushing bleach. Quack 'archbishop' claims Trump drank bleach to cure coronavirus https://www.rawstory.com/mark-grenon-mms/
https://journals.lww.com/americanth...in_for_Prevention_and_Treatment_of.98040.aspx Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines Therapeutic Advances: Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian–Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis. This was also robust against a trial sequential analysis using the Biggerstaff–Tweedie method. Low-certainty evidence found that ivermectin prophylaxis reduced COVID-19 infection by an average 86% (95% confidence interval 79%–91%). Secondary outcomes provided less certain evidence. Low-certainty evidence suggested that there may be no benefit with ivermectin for “need for mechanical ventilation,” whereas effect estimates for “improvement” and “deterioration” clearly favored ivermectin use. Severe adverse events were rare among treatment trials and evidence of no difference was assessed as low certainty. Evidence on other secondary outcomes was very low certainty. Conclusions: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.
The real question is why has the vaccine or nothing mantra been the go to position throughout this Covid "crisis"? From day one until now anything resembling treatment has been frowned upon. Why? Pregnant pause complete. Money, and nothing but money. It wasn't all that long ago that big pharma was among the most hated and untrustworthy organizations in the entire world. Now they are the lord and savior. How did that happen? Pause complete. Politics. A vaccine is nice. Prevention and treatment are better tools against this or any other virus longterm, and everyone knows it.
First it should be noted that extensive studies were applied to using and studying Hydroxychloroquine for preventing and treating COVID-19. In fact excessive funding and effort was applied to studying Hydroxychloroquine due to political pressure -- which undermined progress in more beneficial treatments that actually work. At this point every mainstream study has found Hydroxychloroquine to be useless as a preventative or treatment for COVID-19. The same applies to Ivermectin. The only people pushing this stuff now as a COVID-19 treatment are conspiracy theorists pushing false information. The is tremendous funding and progress being made on actual anti-viral drugs that successfully work for treating COVID-19. Attempting to claim that treatments have been ignored while pushing only vaccines is not correct. Of course having society fully vaccinated is the best path to eliminating COVID-19.

"Mountains of data" show drug ivermectin "basically obliterates" COVID-19 transmission. Fact-checking claim about the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 https://www.politifact.com/factchec...hecking-claim-about-use-ivermectin-treat-cov/ Some limited studies suggest that ivermectin can help treat COVID-19; others show no significant impact. Many of the studies had small sample sizes and other limitations. Federal health and drug agencies say that more research is needed before making a definitive conclusion about ivermectin’s efficacy against COVID-19. The FDA has not approved ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. (More information at above url)
