I assume they’re speaking of the I-Mask protocol. Ivermectin and a cocktail of over the counter vitamins. “y’know, the stuff that actually works.

We knew that we’d eventually get covid so we connected with a telemed doctor and got the script for Ivermectin.

The CVS near us filled it and we just put it on the shelf.

A few weeks ago, the inevitable happened. I got it first then my wife. While we had all the symptoms, none of them were all that earth shattering. The only one that was serious for me was fatigue. Within a week I was back on me feet and working.

The covidiots here on FR will now respond that my experience was anecdotal, so I’ll get it over with. Was Uttar Pradesh just anectdotal? An Indian state of 240 million packed into land the size of the UK. They began widespread use of the “Dubious” treatment and have essentially killed off covid. They have a whopping 4.5% vax rate.

And then there’s Africa, where covid was barely a blip because most people take Ivermectin to ward off some river parasite

When there is high demand and limited supply, “price gouging” as you call it makes perfect economic sense. Take econ 101 and you’ll see that. Raising the price of gas to $8 a gallon in the path of a hurricane assures that most people will buy 3-4 gallons to get to safety rather than filling their 20 gallon tank, thus leaving gas for the others waiting in line.

Plus, the station owner will need to get back open rapidly after the hurricane to serve the town. That costs big money. He will likely see little of his “windfall”

Ivermectin is not hard to compound or to manufacture and there’s no shortage.

The PATEL name is scattered all over the US. The own convenience stores and motels.

““The pharmacist (at Walmart) said that the dosage they requested [21 mg] was high enough to kill me” based on guidelines for his body weight, Matthews told TIME.”

Perhaps if one weighs under 40 lbs. that’s the case, but even at 40 lbs., I think the person might feel a bit sick for a day or so. But if one weighs 230 lbs., 21mg is the EXACT dosage recommended by pretty much all countries using Ivermectin for Covid. Something tells me that this person is closer to 230 lbs. than 40 lbs.

My take on the above is that this could be a CODED MESSAGE to our side saying something like: “My editor is making me write this insane article, so I’ll put in something obviously bogus, so informed people know not to believe anything here.”

I’m probably wrong, but who knows at this point?

““The pharmacist said that the dosage they requested [21 mg] was high enough to kill me” based on guidelines for his body weight, Matthews told TIME.”

A bit more on this ‘lethal’ 21 milligram dosage:

1) As mentioned before, this is the PROPER DOSAGE for a 230 lb. person. I should have added if that person is healthy.

2) If sick with the virus, according to Front Line Doctors, 21 milligrams (daily) would be for someone weighing between 80 and 115 lbs.

So 21 mg is PERFECTLY within family for Ivermectin, and even going over that dosage by several multiples of that number is harmless (unlike many other drugs).

Add in Indonesia to the mix. They approved Ivermectin the day they peaked, now the country of 277 million people is well under 1000 cases per day.

This story is a disgusting liberal propaganda piece. If government dictators had not illegally - yes illegally - banned HCQ and Ivermectin, this backdoor market would not have occurred. It’s not the victims’ fault. The corrupt government created the whole stink’n mess and here comes their mouthpiece “Time” to spin the story.

With the horse medicine still easily available, though more expensive than a year ago, I don’t really understand why people are killing themselves to get the pills. And second, I think the horse medicine is more likely to NOT be fake than these newly-discovered pharmacies, at least if the horse medicine is purchased from a reputable store.

Bingo. This is a hit piece by the corporate establishment against a pharmacy that fulfilled orders for Ivermectin.

The elites want to cut off all possibility of alternative treatment for Covid except the shots.


They don’t want the plebs having access to the meds (ivermectin and HCQ) that they themselves are reportedly on.

Safe preventatives for me, but NOT for thee.

Certain telehealth sites, after discussing symptoms with the patient (or even before any symptoms), will submit the prescriptions to a local pharmacy from where the meds can be paid for and picked up.

It’s good that Costco is filling prescriptions for Ivermectin, as RebelTXRose said:

Either they are going after these guys for helping those in need, &/or they are still trying to discredit the cure. If they have a cure, they lose their EUA.

Why do you believe anything Time puts out?

Why do you want to kill people?

How much do you get paid by the government to post here?

If you get sick and can’t get what you need from a local pharmacy, don’t wait on a mailman. Be proactive about your own well being and health. Grab a good book and carry your self to the nearest monoclonal center and relax.

Or better yet, do what millions of Indians, Japanese, Argentinians, have done, and use the proven effective cure for COVID-19, IVERMECTIN!

I could go on Twitter and ask Vera Bergengruen and her puppet doctor pals why they won't just let "the rubes" buy the dirt-cheap Ivermectin pills over the counter.

I point out that NGOs give Ivermectin away for free to illiterate central African villagers.

She won't answer, they won't answer.

They NEVER answer.

I do this with ALL the Ivermectin hitpieces.

Same result every time.  ROFL face

That's how you know what's going on.

Never forget that the Brandon administration blocked access to monoclonal antibodies.

And none of the corporate quacks said a word in protest.

Yes, and the Media Cone of Silence came down on Indonesia.

I kept making posts asking "So, what's happening in Indonesia with vitamin I?" after July, because I knew Brandon's newspuppets were blacking out the Indonesia news.

This story is a disgusting liberal propaganda piece.


The OP must have subscriptions to all of the left wing propaganda outlets. It (leftist drivel) seems to be a recurrent source.

By the way, blueplum, where are all of your hitpiece posts on the HUGE lefty companies who accepted MILLIONS - BILLIONS, in PPP?? Like Universities....nursing home groups....BigPharma....BigPharma owned hospital systems....Gruesome Newsome’s restaurant buddy, etc., etc?

Why post leftist garbage, here...of all places, about a company that was fulfilling Rx’s for *forbidden* meds, as an affective and SAFE alternative to risky treatments and, subsequently, these hazardous shots, while CDC/FRAUDci were bashing yet squirreling away, HCQ and Ivm?,

We know why.

Sounds like “the powers that be” are getting concerned that people are finding ways to get their ivermectin and hydroxychlororquine in order to avoid their so-called “vaccine” that doesn’t keep you from getting the disease, doesn’t prevent you from being contagious, needs to be repeated every few months, has horrible side effects, but makes some people billionaires.
