I said that the FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.
That's it.
That's it.

Ivermectin is used to treat head lice and certain parasitic infections.
But for COVID?
The WHO, CDC, FDA and IDSA say it shouldn't be used for COVID.
UNLESS it's in a clinical trial.
But that didn't stop this guy, who chose ivermectin over the vaccine. Capt. Joe Manning, 57, a Georgia police officer who frequently posted anti-vax messages on Facebook, has died of COVID-related complications.
Why would some people want a drug that is not FDA approved for COVID?
It`s OK sene5 , let nutsin take it. It`ll do him some good. Won`t prevent or treat covid but will rid him of his worms and ticks.
I don't get caught up in this narrative that the unvaccinated will be the end of society, that we should deny them healthcare or pike their severed heads at the entrance of hospitals to send a message.
People have the right to choose what they take, but promulgating the use of unproven treatments is dangerous.
It's interesting that Merck, who originally developed Ivermectin, themselves claim the drug is ineffective, which is counter-intuitive to pharma's desire to sell drugs if it could be shown otherwise.

Now one can argue that that may be the case because they've lost their patent, there isn't enough $$ to make and it could compete against their own, patented, more profitable covid pill. However, patents aside, as the incumbent of sorts, I would think that if it was effective, they would still materially benefit from supporting it, yet they don't.
Some have also claimed they have simply repackaged it into said pill, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It is more likely the myriad of generic drug producers are propping up this narrative.

Maybe because FDA approved Vioxx, that killed over 50000 people .... FDA approves ammonium hydrogen (which is toxic) to be used by McDonalds to "wash" the meat for burgers .... I can go on and on with how much shit FDA "approved" ....
One of my coworkers tested positive today. I worked in close proximity with her yesterday so I am now isolating from my elderly father. A preexisting medical appointment I have this afternoon had to be converted to a televisit as they don't want me at the office. We are all working today with masks, my other coworkers and I, while the Covid positive coworker is at home, self-quarantined and with symptoms.
i assume that these are rapid home antigen tests. in that case, you should see the results almost immediately and dont have to send off a sample.
When it comes to collective well-being, forget about your "me and I".
It's already too late + 9.0 billion doses of vaccines have been administered worldwide.
From the government/US Postal service? Probably sometime just before the next pandemic. I’m not confident at all with this roll out.
QUÉBEC---LEGAULT ce jour.......Avec 3,411 hospitalisations nous devrions avoir atteint le pic.....il y a de l'espoir MAIS comme notre réseau/santé est à la limite et avec 12,000 employés absents AUCUN ALLÈGEMENT des mesures n'est annoncé....faudra être patient...on a l'habitude.....lol.
NOTE--35% des Québécois ont reçu 3 doses et pour les 60 ans et plus c'est 72%....quand même.

The collective well being start by respecting the "me" and "I", especially when it comes to your freedom and rights. There are no collective well being when the individual making up that collective is marginalized and stepped on. The most used slogan by dictators is the Collective well Being.When it comes to collective well-being, forget about your "me and I".
It's already too late + 9.0 billion doses of vaccines have been administered worldwide.
I believe we are at 10 billions doses world-wide, and yet the cases keeps climbing. Israel, with 4 doses had an increase of almost 35 percent. If that is a factor of success, I wonder what would be a factor of failure.
At this stage, the only thing this Vaccine succeeded in doing is stepping on our rights, and dividing people creating a rift that is deepening everyday. In terms of medicine, it has accomplished shit.

Just say you are a Communist. This statement you wrote means you support Collectivism over Individualism. You should move to China/North Korea. You would fit in well.
You should buy yourself a private island, hire your personnal doctor and nurses and all the medical persons and live completely free.

What's happening according to those stats is that the unvaccinated are slowly being killed off. This is Darwin theory- "survival of the fittest"- in action.
