Another study shows Ivermectin provides no benefit for treating COVID. [Click here if you want to see it.] ~ But the pharmaceutical companies would benefit financially if people took it.

The variants of COVID that would have most likely benefited from Ivermectin are already extinct. This study is from early-mid 2022 when omicron was the dominant variant, which presents in the vast majority of the population as cold-like symptoms. Out of this entire study group only 6 people were hospitalized effectively making this study n=6. By the time most people are calling their doctors for treatment, they already have severe symptoms.

Ivermectin is a generic drug. Anyone can make it and it costs less than $1 to produce. Pharmaceutical companies don't benefit from you buying a generic dose of Walmart brand Ivermectin, but they do stand to lose a lot if that ends up being an effective alternative treatment over their proprietary mRNA vaccines.

I'm not saying ivermectin IS effective, I just don't know. But ultimately ivermectin is an extremely safe drug. The reasoning for using ivermectin is sound, so if you doctor prescribed it to you why not take it to potentially improve your recovery with no downside? Instead we tried to take away their medical licenses and frame it as horse de-wormer.

If ivm was effective, then the vaccines couldn't get emergency authorization, so they had to create the impression that it was ineffective

with no downside

Ivermectin has many adverse effects.

Did you read your own study? The study looks at an outlier country and concludes there could be confounding factors with reporting. That's not evidence of adverse effects from the drug.

When all 34 onchocerciasis-endemic countries are considered together, the incidence of reported SAEs following ivermectin treatment appears to be low: approximately 1 case per 800,000 treatments.

Ivermectin is listed on the WHO's list of essential medicines, one of the criteria is safety:

Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority health care needs of a population. They are selected with due regard to disease prevalence and public health relevance, evidence of efficacy and safety and comparative cost-effectiveness.

Taking a standard dose of ibuprofen or an mRNA vaccine are both hundreds of times more likely to cause an adverse effect than taking ivermectin.

The title says enough for me to skip the pharmaceuticals they (and you) are trying to get us to ingest.

Serious adverse events following treatment with ivermectin for onchocerciasis control: a review of reported cases.

You quoted a low incidence of SAEs (Serious Adverse Events) but we know how low reporting can be, as demonstrated with the COVID shots and the VAERS database.

But I said, "Ivermectin has many adverse effects", which includes much more than SAEs:

such as fever, headache, pruritus, lymphadenopathy and myalgia [...] typically occur upon first exposure to the ivermectin

It's common for people to have adverse effects from Ivermectin and the pharmaceutical does not offer any benefit for COVID.

As for me, I don't take any pharmaceuticals for anything, and I thank the Lord for being my Healer and Comforter. You might not believe this, but I share it for anyone reading: When I was sick years ago, an angel visited me in a dream and gave me healing from God. And I was healed. I know the power of the Lord Jesus Christ is real and available to anyone who puts their trust in him, but few do. They would rather take a poison and continue to live in darkness.

  • willing to take a "vaccine" with a 0.1% rate of horrific side effects, known to kill millions of people in every country
  • trying to convince people not to take a drug with a 0.00% rate of mild side effects

well this explains a lot

they (and you) are trying to get us to ingest

I haven't told you to do anything nor made any medical recommendations.

Did you mean this as an insult? If I see warnings of adverse effects from what the pharmaceutical companies push on us, and I disregarded the warnings, I would be a fool, especially since this product does not help the people with "COVID". And you, while not telling me to insert the tablets into my mouth, are trying to convince me and anyone reading this that it is "safe and effective" just like what they say about the COVID shots. You said:

ivermectin is an extremely safe drug. The reasoning for using ivermectin is sound

You sound like a salesman for this pharmaceutical product. I shared with you evidence to the contrary, and why? I don't want people to be deceived and to fall into the traps set by our adversary. If people would stop putting their trust in the pharmaceutical companies and their sorceries, people could turn to the only one who is able to save them, the one who gave them life and is able to heal: The Lord Jesus Christ.

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [Revelation 18:23]

sorceries = pharmakeia
