Just wanted to post something about Ivermectin because of the carry on yesterday because Rogan took it as part of his treatment of COVID-19. I’m not getting into whether or not it works for treating covid because the jury is still out and I am in no position to argue either way.
What I wanted to say is that it’s really irritating me that everyone is saying don’t take a horse dewormer for covid- der.
Ivermectin won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
It’s a completely safe, FDA approved treatment for many things but most notably, curing river blindness. Curing river blindness was massive. In remote areas river blindness was so bad that the majority of adults in villages were blind and had to be lead around by children, till the children eventually become blind. Ivermectin cured that and now people have their vision back and their independence restored.
So it’s really been annoying me that people who just want to pile on people taking it saying sh*t like “lol they think a horse dewormer can cure covid”. It’s annoying be because a) it undermines the amazing thing this medicine achieved, and b) there’s no risk taking it so if you catch covid and taking doesn’t work there’s zero risk so why not give it a go?! Of course get vaccinated but if you catch covid that’s not an option is it?
All the theoretical medical work into ivermectin/protocols/treatment procedures for covid, came from Australia also. it isn’t some rwnj jerk circle, it came from a very good place.
vaccine is the apex but we also needed treatment options for places that could never afford vaccination.
