“The drug that cracked COVID.”

The statement

“If you were to say, tell me the characteristics of a perfect drug to treat COVID-19, what would you ask for? I think you would ask firstly for something that’s safe, that’s cheap, that’s readily available, and has anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. People would say, “That’s ridiculous. There could not possibly be a drug that has all of those characteristics. That’s just unreasonable. But we do have such a drug. The drug is called Ivermectin.”

(Professor Paul Marik, Eastern Virginia Medical School)

“Capuzzo, a six-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist best known for his New York Times-bestselling nonfiction books Close to Shore and Murder Room, ended up publishing his article on ivermectin in Mountain Home, a monthly local magazine for the of the Pennsylvania mountains and New York Finger Lakes region, of which Capuzzo’s wife is the editor. It’s also the reason why I decided to dedicate today’s post to Capuzzo’s article. Put simply, as many people as possible –particularly journalists — need to read his story.” (Nick Corbishley, https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2021/05/i-dont-know-of-a-bigger-story-in-the-world-right-now-than-ivermectin-ny-times-best-selling-author.html )

 

My take on it

This is a story of hope, beautifully told.  It waits on a happy ending.

It is also a savage indictment of many, particularly amongst politicians, biocrats, big pharma and the media, who have had an exceptional opportunity to make a real difference, and have chosen not to.

God’s word tells us, “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” (Prov 3:27)

This is a flagrant case of withholding good, on an unprecedented scale, from those to whom it is due.

So the question naturally arises, as to Why?

According to Nick Corbishley there are three possible explanations for health regulators’ refusal to allow the use of a highly promising, well-tolerated off-label medicine such as ivermectin:

  • As a generic, ivermectin is cheap and widely available, which means there would be a lot less money to be made by Big Pharma if it became the go-to early-stage treatment against covid.
  • Other pharmaceutical companies are developing their own novel treatments for Covid-19 which would have to compete directly with ivermectin. They include ivermectin’s original manufacturer, Merck, which has an antiviral compound, molnupiravir, in Phase 3 clinical trials for COVID-19. That might explain the company’s recent statement claiming that there is “no scientific basis whatsoever for a potential therapeutic effect of ivermectin against COVID-19. 
  • If approved as a covid-19 treatment, ivermectin could even threaten the emergency use authorisation granted to covid-19 vaccines. One of the basic conditions for the emergency use authorisation granted to the vaccines currently being used against covid is that there are no alternative treatments available for the disease. As such, if ivermectin or some other promising medicine such as fluvoxamine were approved as an effective early treatment for Covid-19, the vaccines could be stripped of authorisation.

.Well, Nick, let’s just say That’s a start.

 

 

Covid Cure: Ivermectin upheld in court

The statement

“Ralph Lorigo is the lawyer who now has won three court orders forcing New York hospitals to administer Ivermectin to dying patients. Incredibly, these three hospitals and their lawyers fought against the patients, arguing they did not have the right to receive the drug despite a valid prescription written by their doctors. In essence, the argument was that they did not have the right to try a potentially life-saving medication.

In each of the three cases, the New York State Supreme Court Justices sided with the patient, and in each of the three cases, the patients made near-miraculous recoveries after the Ivermectin was given. In each case, these patients were in the Intensive Care Unit on ventilators, unable to breathe on their own, and universally, after the drug was given, they rapidly improved and were able to breathe on their own.”

My take on it

If you had never heard of Ivermectin before you read this article, it alone should suffice to alert you that the official narrative is suspect, and that powerful forces are behind that narrative.

Dr Hope mentions that some commentators have chosen to ridicule Ivermection by categorising it purely as a treatment for animals. Sadly some panelists on the ABC’s Insiders program have done exactly that, speaking of it as ‘discredited’. Truth is the first casualty of war. But at what cost is such a lie perpetuated?

Is Covid the cure for the flu ?

The statement

“Flu has disappeared worldwide during the COVID pandemic.

Since the novel coronavirus began its global spread, influenza cases reported to the World Health Organization have dropped to minuscule levels. The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, but they are less effective at jumping from host to host.

As Scientific American reported last fall, the drop-off in flu numbers was both swift and universal. Since then, cases have stayed remarkably low. “There’s just no flu circulating,” says Greg Poland, who has studied the disease at the Mayo Clinic for decades. The U.S. saw about 600 deaths from influenza during the 2020-2021 flu season. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were roughly 22,000 deaths in the prior season and 34,000 two seasons ago.

The author goes on to explain (probably laughing all the time) that the treatments for Covid are working remarkably well against flu and influenza. Of course, the main treatment is the quarantine, masks, and “social distancing.” The jab has only come recently and is only serving to spread disease, as they discovered in India.

The article goes on to say,

Public health experts are grateful for the reprieve. Some are also worried about a lost immune response, however. If influenza subsides for several years, today’s toddlers could miss a chance to have an early-age response imprinted on their immune system. That could be good or bad, depending on what strains circulate during the rest of their life. 

More laughs! They are more worried that Pfizer might not sell as many vax’s. Their profits might drop by billions of dollars. It used to be that children got immunity by exposing themselves to certain diseases, such as chicken pox. But that was too cheap.

According to Dr. Jim Willie, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a chart showing how flu cases have dropped dramatically in the 2020-2021 flu season (winter).

Was this due to the masks and social distancing? Hardly. If that had worked, then it would have worked equally well on Covid-19 cases. More likely, it worked because flu and influenza were being labelled as Covid-19, along with a multitude of other conditions such as heart attacks, car accidents, shark attacks, and old age.”

My take on it

Here’s a complementary picture, from the same (WHO) source:

               (See https://www.who.int/influenza/gisrs_laboratory/updates/flunet_globalviruscirculation_20210212.pdf )

The official explanations as given in Scientific American strike me as ludicrous.

One could theorise that the people who would otherwise have succumbed to the flu, during that period, succumbed instead to the Covid virus, simply because it got there first.   That theory doesn’t appeal to me either.

The most logical explanation, as Dr Jones says, is mis-attribution.  And what I have read supports that thesis, precisely because the WHO and other actors evidently encouraged it.
