Considering my primary residence is Québec, Canada although I do own a home in the United States...there's an interesting aspect to the vaccine hesitancy among Healthcare workers (HCWs)... Females are more accepting of the vaccine than males. Also, as I showed in the prior survey messages...Doctors (AMA) are more accepting of the Covid vaccine than Nurses (ANA). I like the Canada surveys (first one posted below) because they get into more about the reasons why someone refuses or accepted vaccination among the Healthcare Workers. Covid-19 vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and refusal among Canadian healthcare workers: A multicenter survey Methods Cross-sectional survey across 17 healthcare institutions. HCWs eligible for vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA) in December 2020 were invited to receive immunization. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of acceptance. Reasons for refusal among those who never intended to be vaccinated (ie, firm refusers) and those who preferred delaying vaccination (ie, vaccine hesitants) were assessed. Results Among 2,761 respondents (72% female, average age, 44), 2,233 (80.9%) accepted the vaccine. Physicians, environmental services workers and healthcare managers were more likely to accept vaccination compared to nurses. Male sex, age over 50, rehabilitation center workers, and occupational COVID-19 exposure were independently associated with vaccine acceptance by multivariate analysis. Factors for refusal included vaccine novelty, wanting others to receive it first, and insufficient time for decision-making. Among those who declined, 74% reported they may accept future vaccination. Vaccine firm refusers were more likely than vaccine hesitants to distrust pharmaceutical companies and to prefer developing a natural immunity by getting COVID-19. Conclusions Vaccine hesitancy exists among HCWs. Our findings provide useful information to plan future interventions and improve acceptance.... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196655321002741 I do have many more links of Medical Professionals Vaccination Survey in France...that are in great contrast to surveys in North America. Unfortunately, none of them are available in English. wrbtrader
Van_der_Voort_4, I have not finished posting my links and as stated... I will include all their sub-links for anyone to read to be transparent. Simply, I'm not going to post info from the sub-links because I will assume people can click on those links and read the info at the sub-links without me posting the chart data from them. Vaccinations are currently ongoing...not complete and we'll have the complete data by year-end that's public and private. AMA typically does not post their final reports until year-end. I'm not sure why they would refer to a report as "final report" (of a fraction of their members) when vaccinations have only been occurring for a few months when we have 5 more months remaining in the year with a surging Delta Variant and an increasing vaccination hesitancy. Reminder, these are "surveys"...they are not confirmed vaccinations that have been taken by Doctors and Nurses. I do have access to more vaccination data not yet public. I will try to post the final data before year-end but I'm not posting to convince your egghead to get vaccinated because as I've stated multiple times in this thread and many other threads... It's your choice and your right to not get vaccinated. Just don't cry wolf when you become infected with Covid or you're denied access to resources / services being used by those that are vaccinated. Just as equally important, its my right and choice to get vaccinated in which I'm now fully vaccinated and so are every member of my family...including all the medical professionals. Here's an interesting chart that shows the initial vaccine hesitancy to show that as each month passes...more people plan to get vaccinated. Just as interesting...those that plan to not get vaccinate...its been stable between 14% to 12%. I believe currently is about 13%. The point...people including medical professionals are increasingly getting vaccinated whereas those that say they will not get vaccinated...their percentage has been almost the same (stable) https://angusreid.org/canada-covid-vaccine-january/ Yet, @carrer stated Vaccines are a scam. In contrast, I'm showing that there are enough Physicians, Nurses, Dentists, Healthcare Workers and people in general that are getting vaccinated plus the fact that +90% of those hospitalized with Covid in North America since vaccinations started... They have not been vaccinated. I will later post data about adverse effects from vaccinations to be transparent by year-end to see if it's within the expected models. In addition, I'm posting data about those that will not be vaccinated and the reasons for such just to be transparent. As stated, all my links are not posted and many will not be posted in this thread and instead will be posted in the Health section of the forum. Vaccinations are ongoing and I will post more up-to-date info with greater sample size. Why ? It's interesting and immunology is my academic background. This is to counter @carrer flood of throwing different types of shit at the wall to see which shit will stick to the wall in which almost all of his images and videos had no source info and some have already been debunked as fake along with some having nothing to do with vaccinations nor to do with Ivermectin. wrbtrader
My intention is good. Many studies have shown that Ivermectin is very effective and I don't see why this has to be suppressed, unless they are Big Pharma shills.
- Once again Ivermectin IS NOT very effective against COVID-19. "Studies" being created by COVID-deniers who have previous pimped hydroxychloroquine are next to meaningless. This fact-free Ivermectin nonsense is being pushed by the anti-vaxxer doctors and media morons. Let's take a look at reality. Ivermectin is just the latest "miracle drug" that the Hydroxychloroquine nuts have seized onto which will magically cure COVID. Ivermectin has no preventative or treatment benefits for COVID-19. The FDA states very clearly it should not be used. The FDA... Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19 https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consu...-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19 New COVID-19 drug, same playbook: Like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin lacks 'strong data' https://www.healio.com/news/rheumat...droxychloroquine-ivermectin-lacks-strong-data Ivermectin: why a potential COVID treatment isn’t recommended for use The antiparasitic drug was thought to be a potential treatment for COVID-19, but there isn't sufficient evidence to recommend its use, despite widespread support online. https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/ivermectin-why-potential-covid-treatment-isnt-recommended-use Ivermectin and Covid-19: how a cheap antiparasitic became political The common antiparasitic ivermectin is being touted as a miracle cure for Covid-19 by doctors and campaigners the world over. Demand for approval of the drug is growing globally – with some countries recommending ivermectin as a treatment for coronavirus patients – despite leading health authorities consistently warning against its use. https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/ivermectin-covid-19-antiparasitic-political/ Ivermectin is the new hydroxychloroquine - a drug shown to have no proven benefits in preventing or treating COVID-19; yet be harked as the new miracle drug from the lunatic fringe. You got to be a lunatic to push the use of a drug meant for parasitic infections in animals for the treatment of COVID-19. Ivermectin is FDA-approved for use in animals for prevention of heartworm disease in some small animal species, and for treatment of certain internal and external parasites in various animal species. https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterina.../faq-covid-19-and-ivermectin-intended-animals
You started this thread about a medicine that is in fact produced by several different pharmaceutical companies as an approved treatment for a different illness (not Covid)...one of the drug producers is Merck via the name of the product STROMECTOL. I will say that you did not mention stromectol but if someone is clearly shilling / marketing a product called Ivermectin... It has been you (this is your thread about Ivermectin) because you in fact have thrown in a lot of videos or images (e.g. the bogus Mike Tyson tee-shirt, the doctor beating the hell out of a patient in a bed and others) that have absolutely nothing to do with Ivermectin but you wanted us to believe it somehow supports taking Ivermectin or supports not taking the Covid vaccine. Just as importantly, you decided to bash Vaccines while you were shilling Ivermectin. Me personally, I've not shilled any medical treatments nor vaccines because I've mentioned which vaccines are not safe for me (AstraZeneca) including giving the reason why (discovered allergy to an ingredient in treatment for another illness in 2016) and which were not safe for me... It would have caused a severe adverse reaction or worst in me had I taken that particular vaccine. Doctor and I assume the same for the Johnson & Johnson...adenovirus vector. I've also stated that vaccines should not be taken blindly...people should get a complete physical plus complete blood chemistry prior to taking any Covid vaccine because there are some out there that do not know their bodies is not suitable for vaccination. Yet, your buddy Van called us a shill of big pharma. I call bullshit on that. Next, he posts one survey of Physicians that didn't take a vaccine and I counter with my own several different surveys of Physicians that stated they did take a Covid vaccine, plan to take a vaccine including those that plan to not take a vaccine... In fact, I'm still posting the data and will continue to post the data to support that more physicians and nurses (with the sub-specialities) are taking the Covid vaccine in comparison to those that will not take the vaccine. I will include data of all the sub-specialities when they become available. I asked you once before but you decided to not answer. I will ask again... Are you taking Ivermectin. If so, from what pharmaceutical drug maker ??? Note: It's possible I may have missed your answer. I myself and family members have been fully vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer and I'm being transparent about such including mentioning there are in fact family members that are medical professionals. I'm also being transparent that I do have an academic background (degree) in Immunology. In addition, I've disclosed that vaccines are free where I'm at...as in its paid for by the government. Thus, impossible for me to be shilling for BIG PHARMA. P.S. You should notice I'm not debating about your studies. The problem I have is that other shit you've been posting...it is unethical and dangerous. It's clear that you have an agenda. wrbtrader
To address to your questions regarding the Ivermectin studies, I will post some videos later. From those videos, you can get the info about the published papers. There are dozens of them. Thousands of participants. All studies suggested that Ivermectin has positive impact on preventing/curing covid. Except one study which says the result is insignificant (this particular study is sponsored by a big pharma company). Yes, Merck makes Ivermectin, but they are not the sole producer. Any pharmaceutical company could produce Ivermectin because the patent has expired. Many Indian companies are producing Ivermectin with very little cost and Ivermectin is relatively easy to make. I have not used Ivermectin as I am currently taking natural remedies for prophylaxis (Lime, Lemon, Tea, Vinegar). However, in case these natural remedies don't work and if I get some of the symptoms, I will probably take Ivermectin.
Thank you for being open about that and it answers many of my questions. By the way, I'm of Native American heritage (my old man - Lakota Sioux) and I relied heavily on natural remedies last year in 2020 and will continue to do such even after vaccination to ensure I do not allow anything to sneak in through the back door. For me...I rely on Rosemary, Red Clover, Cattails, Sage, HoneySuckle, Wild Rose, and others to protect the back door. The key is to not wait until you're sick to use natural remedies. Instead, they should be part of your daily or weekly dietary needs just as valuable as Vitamin D and Zinc... All the above I used heavily when I competed in sports but gotten away from in 2015 - 2016. I strongly believe in natural remedies my entire life along with traditional medicine. Pandemics have historically been devastating to ethnic communities and Indigenous cultures. In addition, misinformation and disease has historically been used against Indigenous cultures and minorities since the 1700's (e.g. chickenpox, cholera, diphtheria, influenza etc) as a form of War to weaken the Indigenous tribes and minorities. Yet, as the immune systems of Indigenous Americans strengthen against diseases...governments resorted to Native American Boarding Schools / Residential Schools across North America. Covid 2020...Indigenous Americans closed many of their roads to tourism to control one route of disease...travel. It's a very successful form of preventive medicine to fight against having less medical clinics and less hospitals on the remaining lands of the Indigenous even when the government fought such road closures in court...they fought to keep Indigenous land open to the Covid disease. The point I'm making, when there's a lot of distrust of the government input in the use of modern medicine...the Indigenous cultures fall back on their elders and the history of fighting diseases. Yet, I have teenagers to take care of and I need to ensure I have security on all fronts to get through the Covid Pandemic or any other future Pandemic because Pandemics have been occurring 3x per century... Thus, a good chance we'll see another Pandemic in our lifetime, and our children may see two Pandemics in their lifetimes...those that see three Pandemics in their lifetime are very old and close to the completion of the circle in their life. wrbtrader
That is your Waking Will as an indigenous person. But don't fuck with this one. Forget the Sage, Wild Rose and Honeysuckle. DON'T MESS with this one! Remember Cortez!
No sir, I am NOT going to agree with you on this. We can homeopathic it all we want, but eventually it will break-through to the other side of our silly defenses. We cannot will away a viral infection. Our bodies have only so much level of protection. This one, I am not being an alarmist. I am simply saying, "Just get the darn shot". It's not going to kill you. Just like how the smallpox vax did not kill people of the earth either.
