Pfizer is running out of vaccine customers and now the vaccinated need early treatment - gotta keep the cash flowing

It is like tamiflu which it to say targeted at this virus unlike other meds like ivermectin and HCQ which are for other conditions that showed some weak anti Covid properties.
Bullshit!

All available evidence out of States in India and the nation of Indonesia blows that LIE out of the water.

Ivermectin knock their COVID cases and Deaths to the floor.

Quit lying gas_dr!

So they’ve been testing this pill a long time? It usually takes years for some thing to get FDA approval. Especially to know the long-term side effects, Reproductive side effects, etc.

I do not trust anyone in the big pharmaceutical or big medicine anymore. Why big medicine wanted the same approval rating as big pharma and Joe Dementia I have no idea....except probably $$$$$$$.

Finally, someone invented Pfizermectin to end Corona.

If this is indeed the same as Ivermectin, then at least some of us who can't get Ivermectin now, will be able to get this.

I just basically followed the guidelines suggested by that frontline doctors group with quercetin, zinc, vitamin C, ect and added a bunch of other things that had promising research like ivermectin & doxycycline, H1 and H2 blockers, the herb andrographis and assorted potent antioxidant supplements like NAC. I wasn’t aware of the herbal 3CL protease inhibitors at the time or I probably would have taken one of them too. And instead of HCQ I took a small amount of chinchona bark extract (quinine). So yeah it was pretty extensive, but like I said I’m high risk. Had extreme sepsis a couple years ago, was on a ventilator for a long period of time for that which left my lungs permanently damaged and me becoming seriously decompensated.

I’m no doctor but have been following most of the science from the get go and knew the corrupt media along with the WHO, CDC, and Fauci were lying all the way. It’s just amazing to be that they’ve been allowed to get away with this for so long.

Oh and a little bit of berberine which is a sigma-1 agonist like fluvoxamine.

It is not a lie. Please read the meta-analysis. While I know you think it’s the be all and end all of treatment. It is not. Ivermectin has weak anti Covid properties that do not rise to the level of efficacy as monoclonals. Additionally HCQ has virtually no therapeutic values for Covid. They are excellent drugs for their respective uses and early on it’s all we had alongside done other things

It what baffles me is that we are increasingly getting highly targeted therapeutics. Actual drugs that are synthesized precisely for the structure and therefore function of corona virus. They are demonstrably efficacious and superior to ivermectin and HCQ and yet you want to continue the lie that ivermectin is as good as anything. It is not.

For someone who rails against vaccines one would think you would applaud this therapeutic. However I suspect you are not so much against this therapeutic ad you are against anything that show your narrative imperfect or incorrect.

Excuse me while I treat my patients with the best combinations while you snd the conga line of those who are against any progress want to remain in the dark ages.

Some quick scanning of ‘Paxlovid cost’ shows prices in the hundreds of dollars.

Thanks, but I’ll stick to my prophylaxis of Ivermectin, HCQ, Vit D3, Vit C, Vit A and others.

Thanks. I have written down what the front line docs say, and got together their recommendations. I was just wondering if you had something different.

I’m glad you taken care of to get ready and take care of yourself.

Yeah I attempted making some lypho C at home but unfortunately it didn’t come out as well as I had hoped. So I just took my C throughout the day as the body flushes out any excess. I know it’s not as good, but I’ve already spent a mall fortune of all the other stuff and had to compromise to keep costs down.

According to this analysis of 1,231 studies for covid treatment, ivermectin (71 studies) is right up there with monoclonals (12 studies) as an effective early treatment.

As a prophylaxis, it has 83% efficacy against covid.

"The chemicals in the two drugs are very similar, perhaps identical, so they are making a big deal about the dosage. Many times I’ve heard proponents of Ivermectin say that the tests which claim Ivermectin’s inefficacy use far too low of a dose."

You make a very important point about dosage and demonstrated efficacy. The strong dose-response relationship of Ivermectin (IVM) in reducing the initial viral load is a critical factor that the Doctors take into account who use it successfully in early treatment of COVID-19 for their patients.

The "standard" IVM dosage at 0.2 mg per kg of body weight (that was compared to the active ingredient of Paxlovid) is doubled or tripled to 0.4-0.6 mg/kg for early treatment of COVID-19 and taken daily for 5 days or until recovered. The good news is the astonishing safety record demonstrated by Ivermectin does not appear to diminish at the higher doses in studies conducted. Even at 1.2 and 2 mg/kg (6x and 10x the standard dose) there was no difference in side effects.

This is a good fact sheet about the safety of high dose Ivermectin with many references.

https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/FLCCC-Information-Evidence-for-Safety-of-Ivermectin.pdf

Regarding cost, at double or triple dosage, the cost of Ivermectin will still be a very small fraction of the expected cost of Paxlovid in the USA market.

I don't "think" anything.

I do know it was EXTREMELY effective, when it was used as the primary treatment in several Indian States and the Nation of Indonesia.
