The problem with treatments is they do a good job at keeping you alive which is great but that is just slapping a band-aid on the problem. It is pretty clear that the strategy we are going with is a vaccine based eradication of the disease just like how smallpox and polio were conquered. It may not pan out but its the direction the world is going.Rather than just assume that they have a good reason, I have read the articles and watched the videos that try to explain why Ivermectin doesn't work, and none of them reference a body of research as large and convincing as the one I posted (or a body of research at all, really). I don't think they are retarded, I just think it is an unfortunate set of circumstances and incentives that lead us to this point. If they really are "more in the know" then they aren't sharing this vital information that is so much better than all of the research. If they are basing their decision off of good information rather than perverse incentives and confirmation bias, I want to see the information so that I can base my decisions off of it.
- Ivermectin is out of patent, so bio-pharma companies cannot make as much money off of it as they can new vaccines. They are optimizing cash flow, not effective Covid response.
- The new vaccines can only get emergency approval if there is no alternative, so if Ivermectin were to have proven effective the new vaccines wouldn't have gotten accelerated approval and pharma companies would not be making as much money.
- Trump was one of the first people to recommend Ivermectin and so the idea that it is effective has been poisoned because of how strong TDS is.
- People who say Ivermectin works are removed from platforms like YouTube, so it's more difficult to get the word out and people who encounter the rule go "oh well there must be a good reason" and stop investigating.
- People are so deep into saying Ivermectin doesn't work they can't back out now.
And even if it was pure retardation (which, once again, I don't think it is), I'm well past the point where I think a government will do pants-on-head retarded things.
But because you care so much about government data, here's some government data on Ivermectin which is from a peer reviewed paper.View attachment 2279564
