How is China doing with their lockdowns? Their infection rates continues to spread. What happened to their vaccine? Moderna and Pfizer vaccines? So, China is shutting down whole cities and physically, locking up people. Like GWB our resident troll, the Chinese communists are even dumber sticks. They control their media and their lies and propaganda but, cannot tell from the lies and propaganda of Big US Pharma companies and the CDC? So, the Chinese believe even the lies about Ivermectin? Idiots all.
Urine-Drinking Anti-Vax Leader Pisses Off Florida Judge https://www.thedailybeast.com/urine...ge-after-right-wing-gathering-trespass-charge Anti-COVID-19 “Vaccine Police” leader Christopher Key appeared before a Florida judge Thursday afternoon over a trespassing charge stemming from attempting to attend a right-wing conference where he wasn’t welcomed. The court proceeding quickly got off to a bumpy start as Judge Dawn K. Hudson asked Key to raise his right hand, only for the man who believes drinking urine will cure COVID, to raise his left hand. “Your other right hand,” the judge said. The state of Florida then moved to offer Key the following plea deal: three months probation, adjudication of guilt, and an 8-hour anger management class. From there, Key, pled his innocence. “Did you take an oath of office?” he asked Judge Hudson. Despite the commotion, the judge ruled that Key would have to appear at another hearing later this month. That didn’t stop Key from making himself heard. “Do you understand that you have now broken your oath of office, correct? That is a criminal and a civil offense!” Key yelled at Judge Hudson. “I am a free man on the land.” The judge then booted Key from the Zoom room. Following the hearing, Key told The Daily Beast that the hearing was “priceless.”
Idiots keep pushing false information and fake studies about Ivermectin. Remember Ivermectin has proven to be useless in preventing or treating Covid. Claim: Says Fox News and Candace Owens tweeted that “New studies show that 68% of those who used ivermectin to treat or prevent covid are suffering long-term bowel and urinary incontinence.” Fake tweets make claims about ivermectin studies that don’t exist https://www.politifact.com/factchec...weets-make-claims-about-ivermectin-studies-d/ Tweets that claim people who used ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19 are now suffering “long-term bowel and urinary incontinence” are fake. Ivermectin has been studied as a COVID-19 treatment, but neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the National Institutes of Health recommend using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. Images of tweets shared on Facebook suggest that those who used the anti-parasitic medication ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment or prevention might have to contend with some unpleasant side effects. "Ivermectin’s hidden cost: New studies show that 68% of those who used ivermectin to treat or prevent Covid are suffering long-term bowel and urinary incontinence," read what looked like a screenshot of a verified Fox News tweet. The screenshot, which was shared on Facebook on May 13, also showed an alleged reply to the Fox News tweet from conservative commentator Candace Owens. "Well this explains a few things," Owens appeared to say, adding an emoji with a distressed expression. The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) These tweets are fake. And these "new studies" with troubling ivermectin findings don’t exist. The entire thing is fabricated. (Screengrab from Facebook) The screenshot was shared by a Facebook account using the name "Turning Points USA" — an apparent jab at Turning Point USA, a conservative group founded by Charlie Kirk where Owens once worked as a spokesperson. PolitiFact searched Owens’ and Fox News’ verified accounts and archives of their tweets and found no evidence that either account had ever shared the tweets from the screenshot. In addition, if you look closely at the upper right corner of the fake Fox News tweet in the image, you’ll see the phrase "r/totallyrealtweets," which suggests the image is linked to a Reddit community that shares fake and satirical tweets. Ivermectin has been studied as a COVID-19 treatment, but neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the National Institutes of Health’s COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel recommend using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. As of April 29, the NIH panel "recommends against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19, except in clinical trials." In an FAQ from April 2021, the FDA said: "While there are approved uses for ivermectin in people and animals, it is not approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19." The FDA said that side effects associated with ivermectin use include things such as skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, limb swelling, sudden drops in blood pressure and liver injuries. Because of the potential side effects, "any use of ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 should be avoided as its benefits and safety for these purposes have not been established." Public health organizations’ repeated warnings didn’t stop people from promoting the drug for COVID-19, and some doctors continue to prescribe ivermectin for the virus. Still, we found no evidence to suggest that "long-term bowel and urinary incontinence" should be among the legitimate concerns for people who used the anti-parasitic against COVID-19 in the face of such warnings. We were unable to find any "new studies" that found 68% of people who used ivermectin for COVID-19 were experiencing such side effects. Our searches for those studies turned up only fact-checks debunking these fake tweets and a 2017 study that looked at the effects of administering ivermectin to a large group of people in Democratic Republic of Congo. In that study, people reported "a wide range of adverse events, including headache, coma, abnormal gait, stupor, asthenia, conjunctival hemorrhage, fever, back pain, urinary incontinence, and psychiatric disorders" after taking the drug. That was, of course, years before COVID-19 was first detected. Our ruling An image shared on Facebook suggests Fox News and Candace Owens tweeted that "new studies show that 68% of those who used ivermectin to treat or prevent covid are suffering long-term bowel and urinary incontinence." These tweets are fake, and there’s no evidence that "new studies" with troubling ivermectin findings about incontinence actually exist. We rate this claim False.
The countries marked in blue do a very poor job of tracking Covid deaths. Some of these countries don't report or track Covid deaths at all. The information pushed by Ivermectin cultists about Africa has already been debunked in detail. This twitter thread merely repeats previous nonsense.
But cases are correct, right? Just like Florida - look at all the cases! But deaths are being misreported, Rebecca-ite.
Yet another study -- this time the long-awaited results from Duke University showing that Ivermectin is useless for treating Covid. But not worry, they are going to repeat the study with a larger dose to demonstrate yet another time that Ivermectin has no value in preventing or treating Covid. Just how much evidence is needed before the unhinged anti-vaxxers stop taking horse paste? Ivermectin Does Not Have Meaningful Impact On Treating COVID, U.S. Study Finds The study, led by scientists from Duke University and Vanderbilt University, is consistent with findings of another large clinical trial in Brazil. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ivermectin-covid-us-study-results_n_62a6f978e4b06594c1cb4459 Study finds Ivermectin ineffective against COVID, but another review with a bigger dosage is underway https://www.audacy.com/wccoradio/news/local/study-finds-ivermectin-ineffective-against-covid A large U.S. study has found that a controversial drug used to treat COVID-19 has failed to reduce hospitalizations. However, a professor at the University of Minnesota says researchers are still studying its effectiveness. The drug in question is Ivermectin, and Dr. David Boulware, an infectious disease researcher, shared that this latest study is the second to have a large trial showing little to no benefit from taking the drug.

Ivermectin among generic drugs that failed to help COVID-19 patients avoid hospitalization, large study shows https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/me...-large-study-shows/ar-AA10M7Zt?ocid=bingcovid A new study found three generic drugs — fluvoxamine, which is often prescribed to treat depression, the controversial antimalarial ivermectin, and the diabetes pill metformin — failed to prevent the kind of severe COVID-19 that leads to an emergency-room visit or hospitalization. The research, published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine, examined whether any of the three medications benefited 1,323 patients when prescribed in the early days of a COVID-19 infection. Some of the study’s participants received a combination of metformin and fluvoxamine or metformin and ivermectin, most were vaccinated, and all were overweight. The randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study was conducted from December 2020 January of this year by researchers at the University of Minnesota. “None of the medications showed any impact on the primary outcome, which included experiencing low oxygen as measured on an home oxygen monitor,” said Dr. Carolyn Bramonte, principal investigator of the study and an assistant professor of internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Having low blood oxygen levels, or hypoxemia, is a common reason why COVID-19 patients end up seeking care in an ER, being hospitalized, or dying. Until the Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer’s antiviral Paxlovid and Merck’s Lagevrio in late 2021, there were no authorized treatments for people who had tested positive for the virus but were not yet sick enough to go to the hospital. Repurposed drugs — which are cheap, readily available, and have decades of safety data, including among children and pregnant women — have held a particular appeal for regulators and clinicians alike since the pandemic’s earliest days. Each of the three generic medications has been held up as a possible COVID-19 drug, particularly ivermectin, which gained a cult following over the course of the pandemic despite well-documented issues with the flawed science that in some cases fraudulently touted the drug’s benefits. Yet none so far have demonstrated in robust clinical trials that they actually help treat people with COVID-19. A long-awaited double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted by Duke University School of Medicine and funded by the U.S. concluded in June that ivermectin did not improve symptom duration among COVID-19 patients with mild-to-moderate forms of the disease. The same research found that the drug did not reduce hospitalizations or death. Some of the same University of Minnesota researchers last year asked the FDA to authorize fluvoxamine as a COVID-19 treatment, based on an earlier set of clinical data. The regulator declined to grant the emergency authorization this spring, saying that the data did not demonstrate the drug’s ability to treat COVID-19. There is one possible bright spot in the study’s findings, at least for metformin. When the researchers looked at the study’s secondary endpoints, they found that metformin reduced ER visits, hospitalization, or death by 40%, even though the pill doesn’t show an impact on hypoxemia. That said, the researchers say additional studies need to be conducted before clinicians begin prescribing metformin to their COVID-19 patients. “We’re really happy that our study is adding to the knowledge that we’re gaining around this pandemic in this virus,” Bramonte said. “At this point, there may be physicians who see our results and see metformin as providing easily accessible treatments for certain patients. However, as a physician researcher, I see there’s a need for further study to replicate these results as the primary outcome of a study.”
