"Like have you heard the snake-oil guys say about how Ivermectin is 'cheap'? It has never been cheap. It is one of the more expensive medicines, even for veterinary use, and 'a course of it' is way more expensive than three doses of the Pfizer vax. Check out the prices for yourself
What are you talking about? It costs $168 USD for 1,000 12 mg ivermectin pills.
do you need me to do the math for you???!!!!
We are talking $3.38 US for an average 89.8 KG America to be given 5 days of Ivermectin at 0.5 mg/kg
the Pfizer vaccine costs what, about 23.15? X3 = 69.45
so not 10x , but but mote than 20x more expensive.
You said that a course of Ivermectin costs more than 3 rounds of the Pfizer vaccine.
not even comparable.
Just to be clear, All I'm saying is this bull# about Ivermectin being expensive is propaganda that you bought, chewed up and spat out here for the rest of people who might be stupid enough to go check the goodrx.com price of Ivermectin.
Ivermectin is available to be ordered for $168 per 1,000 12 mg pills.
What human being could require, or would ever be prescribed with, 1,000 ivermectin tablets?
Here's a couple links to sites that supply ivermectin, for human use. Check the prices:
Ivermectin Prices, Coupons and Patient Assistance Programs - Drugs.com
IvermectinFDA Alert
Generic Soolantra, Stromectol - GoodRx

Hey ... starred you Chro, because I enjoy your contributions to ATS, and you always get everyone thinking, which is never a bad thing
I am a M.D. by training. I very much respect a good number of non-MD practitioners, as they tend to do a better job thinking 'outside the box'. Currently thinking outside the box means much more than a boilerplate standard medical training, IMHO.
I can't say anything about other coronaviruses, because before COVID-19, they were pretty insignificant unless a patient was 'at death's door', in a manner of saying.
This information is my own, for what it s worth.
The MSM is untrustworthy for sure, like you say, and internet sources are give or take, and it takes some personal education to even help decide which ones are even worthy of reading.
Yes, it is always good to get a second opinion. ALWAYS. Of all the doctors with whom I work, about 20-30% can think independently, and the rest just follow whatever administration / mainstream (censored) science articles tell them. Another confounding factor is that medical education isn't what it once was: now they are training doctors to check boxes and fill out forms, more than actual 'hands-on' patient related clinical work. We all suffer for that!

Additionally, the doctor has claimed that asymptomatic COVID-19 does not happen. It is part of the basis of his allegations. Just about everyone knows of people who have tested positive, multiple times, but without symptoms.

My understanding is the amount of Ivermectin that would have to be consumed to affect the COVID 19 pathogen in any sort of averse way would be dangerous to humans.
Then again im simply pointing out what some people are doing that people are misusing Ivermectin in numerous different forms.
You are free to choose to introduce what ever you wish in to your body all the same, just like everyone else.
But don't expect any self respecting Doctor to prescribe medication for purposes not intended.
Because that's simply not how they operate.

Ivermectin isn't an antiviral.

Ummm... noooooo, he said asymptomatic spread doesn't happen. Jeesh...
But please, don't stop, I truly enjoy seeing you embarrass yourself so badly, time and time again. It is truly hilarious, and I need the laughter, now more than ever.

But asymptomatic spread does happen. There are known cases of it.
In New Zealand, we had someone who was asymptomatic (day zero swab test) and in quarantine with the Delta strain, and the person/s who were infected from them, outside open doors and across a hallway to the quarantine room, were only exposed for between 3 to 5 seconds.

No, there aren't, but you'll go on believing the lies...

Rotflmao!!!
And you know this for a fact because... someone told you so?
Does it hurt to be you?

YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE GOOD PEOPLE WORKING IN THE LOWER RANKS OF THE PHARMA COMPANY WHO COULD COME UP WITH A BETTER VACCINE THAT DOES NOT HAVE SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS.
Oops, cap lock was on and I did not even look at it before posting.

Most people gain knowledge through sources external to themselves.
Just making stuff up does not cut it.
Analysis of Asymptomatic and Presymptomatic Transmission in SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak, Germany, 2020
Transmission frequency of COVID-19 through pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in AJK: a report of 201 cases
Do asymptomatic carriers of SARS-COV-2 transmit the virus?
He is still promoting hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment, even above that of ivermectin. Both of which have now proven ineffective against COVID-19.

So, why post links to junk that is made up?
Analysis of Asymptomatic and Presymptomatic Transmission in SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak, Germany, 2020
So, an epidemiological study (basically worthless) from a bunch of liars (CDC) with a whole lot of biased authors/undertakers (pun intended)...
Nope.
Transmission frequency of COVID-19 through pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in AJK: a report of 201 cases
Same-same.
Do asymptomatic carriers of SARS-COV-2 transmit the virus?
Lancet? The one that published the fake study claiming HCQ was useless, then retracted it when called out on it?
As I say to you quite often it seems...
ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Wrong.
Studies were done on patients who were at the end hydroxychloroquin and ivermectin are to be used earlier in the diagnosis.
You see it would be like giving a covid-19 patient on a ventilator the vaccine and when he dies you conclude the vaccines don't work(they don't anyway).

Also, no one is blocking the monoclonal antibody treatments. That was what Trump received when he was hospitalized with COVID-19, and the FDA has granted EUA approval for several different monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19.
Interestingly, only 7 days after the EUA was granted for the first anti-COVID-19 vaccine on 11 Dec, there were claims of bells palsy and syncope reactions to the vaccine. Yet at that stage, very few had been vaccinated at all (e.g: on the 14th December 2020, no-one at all had yet been vaccinated in the US, yet 3 days later, there were claims of numerous adverse reactions in the media).
Wrong, all of those treatments have different degrees of efficacy, but work. He explains exactly how a shell company was created to fund fake studies against HCQ, and then disapeared. Ivermectin may be better, but there are numerous drugs that can help, like fluvoxamine, ivermectin, quercetin, almost any zinc ionophore.

Two years into the crisis and not a single early treatment protocol from any institution, just a single minded goal to vaccinate people for eternity while the most vaccinated countries are experiencing record case rates. A massive ageinda, yes.

The Brazilian and Indian governments were actually promoting and distributing Z-Packs, HQC, and Ivermectin. Now, a few months down the track, they have stopped, and their respective health authorities have ruled them as ineffective and dangerous. Why might that be? Their people were expecting and hopeful that they would work. Their government was committed to them, but in practice, they were worse than useless.
Like have you heard the snake-oil guys say about how Ivermectin is 'cheap'? It has never been cheap. It is one of the more expensive medicines, even for veterinary use, and 'a course of it' is way more expensive than three doses of the Pfizer vax. Check out the prices for yourself!

Even if they are useless, it is disinfo to say they are dangerous. Hydroxychloroquine is an old standard for malaria and is commonly given to people who have rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The only danger I've heard of is it can trigger glaucoma but most arthritis patients know this and get eyes tested routinely. Ivermectin is also a standard and both of them are super common in hot climates. Used properly they are not dangerous.
As to price, are you kidding? I've got a bottle of cattle injectable. $90 canadian two years ago and it will treat lots of cows so hardly breaking the bank if you divide that up into human dose values. I have the pour on stuff too that I use way more often on my rabbits at one drop per 2lbs... again super affordable and each bottle designed to treat a bunch of large animals. It might be cost prohibitive to the poor in other countries but certainly not here in north america. A tube of horse paste, costs something like 20$-25$ canadian and treats a 1000lb animal. That's dirt cheap.
