‘Don’t do it’: Dr. Fauci warns against using Ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19
Boston.com ^ | 08/30/2021 | Julia Taliesin

Federal health agencies and officials across the country are warning people not to take ivermectin — a drug used to treat parasites in livestock — to treat and prevent COVID-19.

According to The Boston Globe, poison control centers in at least a dozen states have reported an increase in calls related to ivermectin ingestion. In an interview with CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci said there’s no evidence it works, and that it’s more likely to cause harm.

“Don’t do it; there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works and it could potentially have toxicity… with people who have gone to poison control centers because they’ve taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up getting sick,” he said. “There’s no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.”

Dr. Megan Ranney, a professor of emergency medicine at Brown University, told CNN that vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are the only confirmed methods of preventing COVID-19. Ivermectin, she said, is not a “miracle cure.”

“I want to be really clear, there is no data supporting that ivermectin prevents or cures COVID-19,” she said. “Unfortunately, the promotion for this drug has spread like wildfire among conspiracy theorists and people who are out to make a profit and we’re seeing people buy it from vets and take it themselves with really serious consequences. Another example of the very real harm of misinformation.”

Ivermectin first received attention last year when a study showed that ivermectin inhibited the replication of COVID-19 “in vitro,” or in a laboratory setting. In April 2020, the FDA wrote that the type of study was “commonly used in the early stages of drug development” and that ivermectin was not given to people or animals.

Dr. FauxChi has been wrong about everything.

He’s convinced me to get myself some Ivermectin.

He also convinced me not to wear a mask and not to get the jab.

I know over a dozen who have been cured by it.

India was having a huge breakout of Covid, they used Ivermectin and got control of the situation quickly. This news is probably why more people are wanting/using it, it worked.

IMHO, we should have been using theraputics (I am being told by my computer that I have misspelled that word; but, I cannot think of how else one would spell this.) from the beginning; but, everyone (meaning the media & Fauci) decided that it had to be a vaccine, and nothing else. We were badly mislead and anyone disagreeing with Fauci was canceled.

Well, if Dr. Fauci warns against it, that seems reason enough to trust it ;)

Yup!

It works, but you have to take it consistently and in the right amount and in combination with the rest of the protocol. If you aren’t doing that and you have comorbidities...that’s not going to work.

The problem is that even those doctors that are prescribing Ivermectin aren’t prescribing enough to people or people are dosing inconsistently with the paste. Folks that are able to get a script are only getting 10+ 3mg tablets at a time and thinking they have enough...they don’t. The paste works but it’s a hassle and people aren’t being consistent in taking it.

Because the medical establishment isn’t being consistent, people are not getting the protection they should. It’s not Ivermectin’s fault...people are not following the protocols.

My wife and I are taking it in tablet form twice per week (18mg each time for me, 15mg for my wife). I have enough for my wife and I prophylactically for two years and enough supply to cover us and our six children twice over on the early treatment protocol if we all get sick. I also have sufficient supply of Nitazoxanide, Calcitriol, Fluvoxamine, Dutasteride, Spironolactone, and every other item on the list for the early treatment protocol.

The point is that this isn’t a protocol where you take 3mg one day every week or two. It’s regimented and requires hyper diligence and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get the meds.

A good barometer would be India. They’ve
had remarkable success using ivermectin
against COVID.
https://jellyfish.news/why-was-news-of-indias-success-with-ivermectin-suppressed/
Under dose or overdose with the
store bought stuff will defeat the
prevention. I’ve a friend who contracted
COVID and was almost to the point of
seeking help at the emergency room.
(just as doctors reccomend). He had
5 Comorbydites and was in fear of his
life facing vaccination. His wife had
read about India’s success. Their
family practitioner refused granting
him a prescribed dose. She, as a
last recourse, picked up a liquid
form of ivermectin. After calculating
dose and frequency, he started the
routine. He has since recovered.
He was down for five days.

BINGO. It’s like when Dummycrats vote against a GOP bill, you know it’s a helpful bill.

A few weeks ago, I suddenly lost about 3/4 of my lung capacity, after a couple of days of bad cough. Had to breathe like I was hyperventilating while awake to do anything more than sit quietly, (walking at my usual pace for more than 50 yards without resting would make me nearly pass out) and use an oxygen concentrator that I happened to have, in order to sleep.

I’ll never be tested, much less be vaccinated, but I have to assume I caught covid due to the sudden drop in blood oxygenation after a bad cough.

I started using the horse paste invermectin four days ago. I feel about 50% better already and can sleep without running the oxygen concentrator.

I also have pretty much all of the usual comorbidities.

YUp. LIke when the MSM BS you with “don’t take HCQ because it’s used for cleaning aquariums” garbage. My GF is an RN who works for various L.A. hospitals and MOST doctors have HCQ tablets, and did not vaccinate, I kid you not.

India has been using Ivermectin for many months and has had dramatic results.
