i don't know what this site is about. i knew there was a court case against FDA on this topic which was won. So i searched online for an article about it. This one did contain the courts decision.

i didn't find mainstream doing a proper article about it. If you can find one, i'm interested

indeed. not horsepaste, just the pills for human use.

My brother had 10 days covid and was bedridden. i called him, and i was dumbfounded that he was so sick for that long and thinking he would recover without any intervention. his judgment was clearly impaired.. His test came back positive the 11th day. we arranged a knowledgeable GP. they subscribed ivermectin(against virus) and antibiotics(against pneumonia). The 12th day at evening(as soon as he had the medicines) he began his regimen. within 4 days he was back on his feet.

Fyi: those pills have been shipped to Africa at almost no costs since 1987 to fight riverblindness. You can read company's history here: https://mectizan.org/

Assuming there's any truth to the story, your bro got a placebo and that GP is a quack. Ivermectin is for treating infections by worms, which is what river blindness is caused by. That's why they give it to horses.

You'd think four years of mockery would've provided the opportunity to learn anything at all. No such luck.

I can only say that this really happened to my brother.

Did you know that ivermectin is mainly a product for humans, and received the nobel prize in 2015? it's not as bad as we were told during covid. Also, Merck sponsored mectizan for human use to African countries since 1987(see mectizan.org). Too bad though that the human product was banned in the US, and because of that people went as far as taking the animal grade stuff.

What strikes me.. They had zero evidence of harm for use of human-grade ivermectin with covid, but they banned it. But they also had zero evidence of paracetamols effect on covid, but they adviced it for treatment.

Like talking to a brick wall

That GP when checking up, when asked, shared that she had another 300+ patients recovered likewise.

Later, in NL, pharmacy was asked by government to snitch on GP's when suspecting off-label use of IVM. What if these GP's, who were risking their license for the care of their patients, were right and saved lives with human-grade ivm? Do you think that GP, who was almost going for pension, was unexperienced and should be stripped of her license?

As it turns out.. this court-case ruled against the FDA's stance against ivermectin. You can read the courts decision there as well. Mainstream media doesn't report on it at all. I hope you read the ruling.
