Well from what I read only about 2% of the covid patients in hospital are vaccinated, the others (the vast majority) are unvaxxed. Some apparently say they wish they had taken the vax.

As far as the parasite remedy for horses, if you want to take it, I really don't care. But I am not going to.

It’s also used for humans as well as antibiotics. A doctor in our community treated his patients a alternative treatment and not one ever had to go to the hospital, and got over it quick.

Then if you got Covid, vaccinated or not, and your doctor offered you ivermectin early on you would refuse it.

edit- are you a doctor?

That's a problem for the public.
The Feds had 18 months to do something about hospital capacity. They chose to do absolutely nothing. That one's on the Feds, and NO ONE ELSE.

Libs suffer from low self-reliance, so they compensate by banding together in groups to avoid having to stand alone...a big fear of theirs.

Anything contrary to group-think is seen as the enemy. Its like a Red Ant colony...step on it and swarms of Red Ants climb up foot to bite you.

So, any Covid treatment that is not the one trumpeted by the Queen Ant, is seen as the enemy, and will be attacked by the collective ant colony.

Its not about reasoning, or even science, its about the group (Libs) sticking together to protect its fragile members, so they don't have to stand alone...its the Libs natural reaction to their own raw emotion of fear.

The media & DNC signals to the Lib colony what they should fear, and who/what they should attack, & then they comply.

Pubs in this thread are trying to use logic, & reasoning, while the Libs only respond to emotional fear through group think, & collectivism.

Like pills sold to dissolve belly fat, if Ivermectin worked it would of been sold out within hours and the deaths from Covid minimal.

Unproven?
Ivermectin has been used for literally decades, and is extremely safe when a patient uses the correct dosage.

Ivermectin, along with other anti-parasite drugs, such as Fenbendazole, have additional off label uses, such as being used as an anti-cancer drug and also anti-viral drug.
Please do some research on Ivermectin before bashing it.

Ivermectin may not have been developed as an anti-viral drug, but it does have some anti-viral properties, as research has shown:


Ivermectin inhibits Covid-19 in vitro, a simple scientific fact.
Of course in vitro is very different from an actual human body, which is more complicated.


But research and data is showing that Ivermectin is having some positive effects in combating Covid-19 infections and deaths. It's not a magic bullet, but if I had Covid 19, I'd rather take Ivermectin than be placed on oxygen and left to die in a hospital room.

I am against alternative treatments for COVID-19 because they have not been found to be efficacious, and distract people from using the best preventative measure available, which is prophylactic vaccination.

Why should we encourage a variety of treatments that may or may not help, when we know we have a treatment that is very, very effective?

In short, the promotion of alternative treatments lead to higher death rates, so I am against them.
