    Hearts, brains, energy sapped: Long-COVID sufferers beg for answers
    https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/he...ong-covid-sufferers-beg-for-answers/19744908/

    Even though Angela Hogan and her daughter, Rachel Hogan, were hospitalized with coronavirus more than eight months ago, they're both still struggling with symptoms. They're among the millions of people across the globe who are continuing to experience symptoms of COVID-19, months after their initial infection.

    During the day, Angela is so fatigued and dizzy, she can hardly move. Her heart is racing and she has pain in all of her joints.

    "I'm actually to the point of getting a cane," Angela, from Asheboro, said. She can hardly stand up straight.

    "A lot of us are still suffering, begging for help," she said.

    Both of the Hogans were in a COVID ward of a local hospital, in Greensboro, together. Angela almost didn't make it after staying in the hospital for weeks.

    "Unfortunately, COVID is something that makes you feel alone," Angela said.

    But the two say having each other makes the recovery more bearable.

    "She has been my rock," Angela said.

    "People don't really get it. They can empathize with it, but they don't understand," Rachel said.

    Now, the pair face medical bills they don't have the money to pay — for neurologists, cardiologists and pulmonologists. Neither woman has found many answers in the search for treatment.

    "I'm hoping and praying that UNC can help," Angela said. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Medicine opened a coronavirus "long-haul" clinic for patients still experiencing debilitating symptoms after their initial COVID infection. Angela has her first appointment in the fall.

    Ivermectin works great for ‘long covid’ sufferers.

    At $1 a tablet, the big Pharma shills hate ivermectin. No interest in seeing it work.
    Unfortunately for the Vaccine Priests, it works incredibly well as both a prophylactic and in early treatment. Somewhat effective in late treatment.

    Ivermectin is just the latest "miracle drug" that the Hydroxychloroquine nuts have siezed 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.

    Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19

    New COVID-19 drug, same playbook: Like hydroxychloroquine, 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.

    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.

    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.

    not quite, ivermectin has proven properties to protect against viruses, showed promise on in-vitro trials as I posted last year, and appears to have some effectiveness in-vivo. We need prophylactics in lieu of antivaxxers not vaxxing.

    Cut paste cut paste cut paste.
    Drugs are repurposed all the time.
    Big Pharma shills hate $1 cures and prophylactics.

    Which J&J building do you work in?

    When you go take your daily dose of Ivermectin -- please tell your friends and neighbors you are taking a de-worming pill so they can mock you.

    Safe, cheap, been used for generations in humans, saved the lives of millions.
    Unlike your mRNA killer Jabs which require coercion and force for their deployment.
