    LOL. Vaxx Church doesn’t believe in science.

    Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 63 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 1 trillion. As expected for an effective treatment, early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 72% in the effect measured using random effects meta-analysis (RR 0.28 [0.18-0.45]). 37% and 96% lower mortality is observed for early treatment and prophylaxis (RR 0.63 [0.38-1.04] and 0.04 [0.00-0.59]). Statistically significant improvements are seen for mortality, hospitalization, recovery, cases, and viral clearance. The consistency of positive results across a wide variety of heterogeneous studies is remarkable, with 92% of the 63 studies reporting positive effects (27 statistically significant in isolation).

    You are pushing complete nonsense again -- taken from anti-vax websites which are pushing fabricated crap about horse medicine.

    Spoken like a true big Pharma shill.
    How many weeks off did J&J give your wife this year?

    ivermectin (IVM) is a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world’s most devastating tropical diseases.

    also,

    Ivermectin: a multifaceted drug of Nobel prize-honored distinction with indicated efficacy against a new global scourge, COVID-19

    Big Pharma shills tell us: it’s horse medicine.

    You and Groper are so fucking dumb.

    Would you not use penicillin because it’s also used in Livestock?

    fucking anti science idiots.

    If I had something that was treatable by penicillin then I would use it.

    Even according to the manufacturer, Merck, Ivermectin is useless for preventing or treating COVID-19. Why would any rational person use a medicine to treat a condition where the medicine provides no benefit.

    Well then you would be using livestock medicine.

    you are obviously just playing dumb but in case anyone reading isn’t sure - The drug is out of patent. Merck gain nothing from it working. Merck is, however, working on a drug that will basically match what IVM can do…and they will charge up the wazoo for it. So Big Pharma shills like you can sell it. Maybe your wife, too?

    If this isn’t clear just Ask your Big Pharma Bros how that works.

    Ivermectin is not “out of patent”. The drug has over a dozen U.S. patents and over 100 international patents still in effect. Merck still makes licensing fees from the dozen or so licensed manufacturers worldwide. I have outlined all of this previously in detail.

    What are you babbling about now?
    The patent held by Merck HAS EXPIRED.
    No real money to be made on it anymore.

    But then again - it’s just horse medicine, right?

    Ivermectin is available in generic form in the US. This means the patent has expired. You can have a valid patent for only so long in the US. Up to 21 years IIRC after two previous renewals at 7 years a pop.
