The Drug that Cracked COVID
Mountain Home Magazine ^ | May 1, 2021 | Michael Capuzzo

Posted on 05/23/2021 2:47:25 PM PDT by absalom01

The New York Times said on March 17, 2020, under the headline “Hundreds of Scientists Scramble to Find a Coronavirus Treatment.” It was day seven of the pandemic, when the global death toll was 7,138. “When people get infected,” the Times said, “the best that doctors can offer is supportive care—" ... The global death toll was more than 3.3 million as this story went to press, ... The NIH and WHO are still recommending Tylenol and water in 2021. ...

Even with the rollout of vaccines, they are “not the whole answer,” Dr. Francis Collins, director of the NIH, said recently on 60 Minutes, with variants that threaten to defeat vaccines ... (and the) majority of poor 7.9 billion humans who won’t get a big pharma jab any time soon. ... “People are going to continue to get sick,” Collins said. “We need treatments for those people.”

...

Kory expressed disgust with “the physician-scientists in the ivory towers and public health agencies” who are “just not getting it;” it was up to doctors now to save lives as the scientists are “completely disconnected to how to treat this disease and what to do.” His mentor takes the longer view. “The saddest thing for us is we know this can make a difference and save lives,” Marik says, “and it seems like nobody really cares and wants to listen to us.” But “we feel we can’t be silenced, we just can’t be, because you know the truth will ultimately prevail.”

“This is how science always progresses,” says Dr. Berkowitz, who takes hope from the recovery of Judy Smentkiewicz. “This is what being a doctor is,” he said. “It says in the Talmud, if you save one life, you save the entire world.”

Surprised that this hadn't been posted, but it's worth clicking to the link and reading the whole thing. It's told more as a human-interest story than most of the discussions of therapeutics, but it's very well done.

It’s about Ivermectin. Good piece, but it takes the author a LOT of words before he lets the reader know what the miracle drug is.

Seems to me that he was trying to tell the human side of the story, and that most of his readers already knew what drug he was writing about.

Seems to me that the writer did a good job of that, and it’s a nice respite from the discussion of competing drugs, mechanisms of action, etc.

The CDC/NIH/Fauxcy still stand Colossus-like across the entrance into the Safe Harbor of Ivermectin thwarting all WHO try to enter.

Bet not.

I well understand the storytelling technique of attempting to inject drama. For FR purposes, though, it is just courtesy to give a heads up on what drug the article is about since the author took forever.

As I said, it's a good piece and I appreciate any and all coverage of the benefits of ivermectin.

It’s easy to buy in the form of a paste for horses. Just saying.

It’s been medically treated with over the counter Fexofenadine HCL 180mg.

Ivermectin dewormer is available as a paste for equines.
But,it does come in Apple flavor for dewormer connoisseurs.

It was. But the Tech Giants and the MSM decided you should be shut up.

You can be doctors as long as it doesn't interfere with the Marxist agenda. Got it?

Probably an article where he got paid by the word.

Ivermectin.. AND HCQ, Zinc, and Azithromycin (generic Zithromax).

Given soon enough— recovery. There are also the known D3 supplement, Zinc, Quercitin, and N-Acetyl Cysteine all relatively cheap dietary supplements which prevent S-Protein attachment to the ACE2 receptors on lung lining cells.
