Why Ivermectin Is Superior to Pfizer’s Antiviral Pill
NOQ Report ^ | 11/16/2021 | Jeremy Loffredo

Posted on 11/16/2021 9:28:31 PM PST by SeekAndFind

On the latest episode of “The Jimmy Dore Show,” comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore highlighted the similarities between Pfizer’s expensive new antiviral drug for COVID and ivermectin, a generic drug used to treat the virus.

“I’ve never seen the propaganda machine so hard at work as it’s been against ivermectin,” said Dore. “Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize for human medicine in 2015, but the media really has everyone believing it’s for horses.” Dore suggested the motivation behind the propaganda is profits.

Dore played a video of John Campbell, Ph.D., explaining how Pfizer’s antiviral and ivermectin treat COVID in “the exact same way.” Campbell told viewers Pfizer’s new antiviral drug shows very high levels of efficacy in preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death.

“But there’s another drug, which is generic, called ivermectin, which works in the exact same way as the Pfizer antiviral,” Campbell said. “And there is conclusive proof from the scientific literature that the modality of action of the two drugs is the same. Both of these drugs inhibit viral replication.”

Campbell showed the molecular structure of Pfizer’s new drug and compared it to the molecular shape of ivermectin. He conceded the two “are completely different looking molecules” which led him to conclude “it’s absolutely fine to patent” the Pfizer drug.

“So they’re going to be able to make a lot of money out of it for the next 20 years,” he said.

Campbell cited a number of scientific papers which highlighted ivermectin’s effectiveness as an antiviral against COVID, including:

Campbell also pointed to a paper from Frontiers in Microbiology, which he said showed ivermectin not only attacked and bound to COVID’s spike protein which stopped it from infecting the cell, but also bound to the cell receptor.

“So it doesn’t just work one way, but two different ways,” explained Dore. “It double screws it up so you can’t get COVID.”

Campbell put it this way: “Not only does ivermectin bend the COVID key, but it also ruins the lock.”

Campbell told viewers:

“So as far as we’ve been told, the new Pfizer drug is only working against one particular biochemical pathway to stop COVID, and with ivermectin, it’s working against that same biochemical pathway to stop COVID but also several others.”

“Why don’t you know this?” Dore asked. “Because ivermectin is cheap, and we live in a world that is made up of corporate propaganda.”

Lots of good Ivermectin links.

Pfizermectin.

Does what Ivermectin does, for a WHOLE lot more.

Thanks, BigPharma!

Ivermectin is better because it isn’t mixed with a bunch of stuff designed to kill you.

Can’t expect anything else with anything Pfizer made.

The drug companies are old hands at this. When an old drug comes off patent, they tinker with the molecule to market a new brand name drug. While it’s marginally improved, it costs far more than the older generic.

so is aspirin

Protective Effect of Aspirin on COVID-19 Patients (PEAC)

Aspirin has the triple effects of inhibiting virus replication, anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory,

Ivermectin is not profitable. Period

Umm... let me guess... Ivermectin does NOT have Graphene Oxide in it???

"Ivermectin not only attacked and bound to COVID’s spike protein which stopped it from infecting the cell, but also bound to the cell receptor."

If Ivermectin binds to the cell's ACE-II receptor, how does the cell accomplish normal functions without the use of that receptor?

Hm, slightly off-topic here, but is this actually a good thing? Our bodies have those cell receptors for a reason, and blocking them to prevent a coronavirus spike from 'unlocking' them means it also blocks our body from 'unlocking' it for whatever we need it for. So couldn't that potentially be a bad thing, not just all good?

Yep, I read something recently that made a point along those lines, although it was about zinc rather than IVM. The point was that an elevated zinc level does inhibit viral replication but the tradeoff is that some normal processes related to cell replication are also inhibited. The upshot was that you should avoid taking high zinc doses for an extended time but instead should take them in targeted bursts. I’m guessing the same might apply to IVM since it seems to be involved with zinc in some of those same processes.

Well yea, too much water and you’ll die. You can OD on anything if you take enough of it.

But yea, I would assume a short-term drug regimen wouldn’t be very harmful overall, I’m just curious if anyone actually knows what other biological functions specifically can be affected by it.
