Vanderbilt enrolling participants in ivermectin treatment study for COVID-19

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - Ivermectin, a drug that treats parasite infestations, is being studied at Vanderbilt as a possible treatment for COVID-19.

**SNIP**

Vanderbilt is participating in a national study on several treatments. In addition to ivermectin, they're also researching fluticasone, a nose spray for allergies commonly known as Flonase, and fluvoxamine. "It’s one of the older anti-depressants that have been out there a very long time," Goyal said.

Fluvoxamine could have an anti-inflammatory effect according to the National Institutes of Health.

Beth Winslow is vaccinated, had her booster shot, and still got COVID-19. She decided to enroll in the study during quarantine. "For a day or two, it was like which one am I going to get? It’s kind of like Christmas," Winslow said.

She got either ivermectin or the placebo pill. Then, she writes down her symptoms every day in a diary. Researchers will compare those who got ivermectin and those who got the pill with nothing in it. "My hope is, we can help others not have to suffer," Winslow said.

The study is done remotely. "If you can give up a few minutes of your time, why not?” Winslow said.

Researchers are looking for people who've tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 10 days and have at least two symptoms. In addition, participants must be 30 years old or older. Details here.

Throughout the pandemic, hundreds of people around the country went to tractor supply stores to get ivermectin for animals to treat COVID-19. Doctors advise against taking the drug to treat COVID-19, saying it's dangerous. Humans need a different dose than animals, and there can be serious side effects.

I take mine with a spoonful or two of vanilla yogurt.

We already know the “study” will find that the only cure for the Fauci/China biological warfare virus is one of the Fauci/Big Pharma terminator vaccines that don’t actually prevent the illness and therefore require “boosters” every fifteen minutes.

The biggest crime of the 21st century was the CDC reaction to the pandemic that is now approaching its second anniversary. For months it focused all of its attention on pumping money into pharmaceuticals to create an experimental vaccine using the mRNA technology. Front line doctors fighting the disease and trying different treatment protocols were completely ignored. There was no effort to collect data on the treatments showing some promise and rushing them into trials. Now, two years later, and a year after the vaccine was introduced that doesn’t prevent the vaccinated from contracting or passing along the virus, trails on treatments are finally beginning.

Sadly the officially sanctioned treatment protocol for those contracting the disease after two years its to isolate at home and hope you recover. If you reach the point where you can’t breathe, come to the hospital where you’ll be put on a ventilator and probably die.

If the government had collected data on promising treatments from front line doctors and worked with them to develop treatment protocols in the early days, how many lives would have been saved?

Vanderbilt reinventing the wheel.
First step is to start with a square block of wood. /s

Those same doctors also have their own supply on hand to take at a moments notice.

The dosage is applied via a plunger. The plunger is divided into 50 pound increments. Just adjust the plunger according to your weight. Simple. And very understandable once you see the plunger. Instructions on the box.

I think you are right. The study will be rigged.

It’s sort of a lame study if you ask me. Remote? Self-reporting? They need to do a study testing viral levels in the blood. Which group recovers faster? You can’t do that remotely.

But at least Vanderbilt are getting the ball moving. More than I can say about their football team ;-)

Hundreds. Yeah, right. Hundreds of thousands is more like it. Try to order it online. 3 weeks back-order at many places.

It’s interesting to view all the covid trials on ClinicalTrials.gov. What is surprising is how old some of these trials are, considering this is a ‘crisis’.

I wonder why they left out Hydroxychloroquine in the study?

I have the paste in case I come down with the symptoms of Covid. I would spread it on toast with orange marmilade. Lucky so far.

Author,Alexandra Koehn says “…people around the country went to tractor supply stores to get ivermectin for animals to treat COVID.”

Lower case “tractor supply stores”? I will have to check my local John Deere, Massey Ferguson, and Case tractor stores for it.

I flush it down with straight shot of Wild Turkey 101.
I don’t taste the horse gel at all.
