No arguments Brighteon is right wing garbage but that video is simply hosted there not created by them. That was Dr. Ryan Cole speaking at a forum hosted by Idaho’s lieutenant governor.

How is the Hungarian related?

Yes, the medical experts who seem not to know much about vaccines somehow believe that ivermectin is somehow the better option to the vaccine, as if they've seen substantial trials of the stuff for humans dealing with COVID19.

Ivermectin looks promising to me. The anti-smoking drug Chantix is the anti-depressant Wellbutrin. They noticed that people taking Wellbutrin said their cigarettes tasted like crap. Boom, drug with questionable effectiveness is born. This drug may have been responsible for the suicide of Anthony Bourdain among countless others. And it shrinks your brain. Jason thinks taking Wellbutrin is why he is the way he is. I still have tremors occasionally from when I used to take it. It's nasty shit.

So why the resistance to adopt ivermectin which is considered a miracle drug and safer? Profit is the only thing that comes to mind.

somehow the better option to the vaccine,

I think on this one the "crazy" conspiracy theorists may have been right. People who have been vaccinated can still take advantage of ivermectin because we still get Covid.

Thanks for this. I think anyone can take ivermectin if they want to, but AFAIK it doesn't help build antibodies, which is the purpose of the vaccine. One could say that they'd want to get COVID19, treat it with ivermectin, and thereby have the body still try to fight COVIDID19 and thus make antibodies in the process. Seems this would be remarkably dangerous for those who have bad reactions to COVID19, and there is no evidence and no trials that would help one understand what would happen in that scenario. I suppose I am not against or for ivermectin, as I know very little about it. I've read about about the vaccines, which are safer for helping one build antibodies. Yes, they can still get COVID19, but they won't suffer much, whereas those without the vaccines are more likely to be hospitalized.

Thanks for telling me about Wellbutrin. I've known people who were on anti-depressants (not sure about Wellbutrin) and tried my best to get them to not take those. I mean, the side efffects noted in the PDR note potential suicidal tendencies and other serious problems. No more than 2 or 3 months, tops, for dangerous drugs like anti-depressants. But no, doctors who can't bother to do their jobs and recommend therapy want instead to prescribe mind altering anti-depressants. Those things make depression worse after 2 or 3 months, AFAIK. I studied the Physicians Desk Reference many years ago, where I learned how to distrust all of the stuff mentioned in there. Not that they were all bad, however, and I would think there are times when anti-depressants can help with a transition (called vitamin P when they were popular in the 1980s). But I've never taken the 1980s versions, so what do I know. Other drug options were favored in the 1970s for several kinds of depression, but those were baby aspirins, compared with Prozac and the less popular drugs. People I knew on Prozac were still having great difficulties. That said, drugs for bipolar problems do seem to be necessary, as I've known people to miss their doses and commit suicide. In any event, all of my comments here are just opinions.

Imo if a doctor, or a pharmacist who is supposed to go over new drugs with patients but rarely does, would simply warn people that if they feel like killing themselves it's the just pill and if you stop taking it the feeling will pass in a few days I think that would help dramatically.

As is new patients often have little to no appreciation of the suicide risk.

I often wonder why people are so damned adamant about the vaccine. Troubling videos like this or not, the incident of negative effects are much lower than antidepressants, and the vaccine actually works for a while. There are drugs that should concern people more.

I hope covid is the start of people taking a critical eye to big pharma, but I doubt it.

Agreed.

I think this may be a silver lining to the anti-vax movement, though I worry that there is now a generation of voters who insist on believing resources that cannot be corrobrated with reasonable evidence.
