As I have previously explained Ivermectin is not "out of patent" -- let's walk through the information again. As noted in drug patent watch, Ivermectin’s original U.S. patent may have expired in 1996 but there are 12 additional U.S follow-up patents for Ivermectin plus 102 foreign patents. Three of the additional U.S. patents have expired in 2012 & 2014 - the others are active. Most companies (in fact all) producing genetics for Ivermectin simply find it best to navigate this patent maze by manufacturing under license agreement with Merck. This allows support from Merck while alleviating all possible patent entanglements. Of course Merck makes money off of these agreements. There are 11 suppliers of Ivermectin listed worldwide (one added recently). When sold under a "generic" name such as Sklice, Soolantra, etc. -- the Ivermectin is licensed from Merck. According to drug patent watch -- the pricing information for Ivermectin is about $4 per unit. Anti-vaxxers have been pushing the false claim that the patents on Ivermectin have expired -- only four out of the dozen U.S. patents have expired and there are still over 100 active, enforceable international patents. The claims from anti-vaxxers that Merck does not want to push Ivermectin for Covid treatment because they would make no money are absolutely false. The anti-vax claims about the pricing for Ivermectin units being mere pennies is also false.
The fuck do you continue to babble on about. Merck’s patent on IVM has expired. Period and end of story. Doesn’t mean they don’t have any way to make money from its sale, but it’s peanuts. Nothing like creating a new drug with a few minor biochemical changes and charge the govt up the ass for it. Jesus you are so purposefully obtuse. Hope your kids don’t get a sore throat and have to take that livestock medication.
And yet the Drug Patent Watch website shows all the appropriate patents, the licensing, and the suppliers for Ivermectin . Go read it. Stop trying to pretend that there is only one patent on Ivermectin and since the first patent expired it is suddenly an unlicensed "generic"-- it is covered under many other patents and the only way to produce it "generically" is via licensing. While you are at it read the "Supplementary Protection Certificates for Ivermectin" section as well.
Merck has given away the NOBEL PRIZE WINNING DRUG for a generation. It’s a potent safe antiviral anti parasitic drug. There Is No Money In It Anymore Even though it works incredibly well in clinical trials as prophylaxis and early covid treatment. Where is there money? In a new, expensive antiviral, of course. Didn’t your wife at J&J tell you that? With $1.2B deal for molnupiravir, U.S. bets on Merck's oral COVID-19 antiviral https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma...-finally-provide-effective-covid-19-treatment
It's good to see that Merck is working on an effective COVID-19 anti-viral drug -- since Ivermectin is completely useless in preventing or treating COVID-19. Also note - Ivermectin is NOT an anti-viral drug.
Religious radio broadcaster Jimmy DeYoung Sr., who spread disinformation about the coronavirus vaccines, was killed by the virus, the Chattanoogan reports. The Daily Beast reports DeYoung published an interview earlier this year “promoting the conspiracy theories that the Pfizer vaccine would make women sterile and that world governments were using the virus and vaccine to centralize power.”
Ivermectin is an FDA-approved broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent with demonstrated antiviral activity against a number of DNA and RNA viruses
Tragically he was gone too soon, dying 6 after average life expectancy. fucking guy was 81. Who cares? how about all these 12-20 year olds killed and maimed by your ‘vaccine’. https://rumble.com/vl5lnx-we-are-de...young-with-experimental-covid-injections.html
Good luck with your fantasy. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral drug. If you don't believe me then call Merck and ask them.
in whoever's in my ignore's defense, both HCL and Ivermectin have anti-viral properties which is why they were being used in lab trials to begin with (the in-vitro Australia study from a year ago kinda goes over the mechanism for Ivermectin)
