You do remember after I posted the original article about how people were taking this in Mississppi, then you and others started by saying doctors were prescribing this off-label, right?

Yep. Taking it off label means with a doctors prescription. What is your point?

Tfork

You are correct that some come from off-label prescriptions. The article I just cited said 75% cam from animal pharmacies in that particular state. Why do suppose that is happening?

Because people are morons? Look, my only point in saying everything that I have said to date is that Ivermectin is very possibly a very effective drug for the treatment of COVID-19, as shown by multiple scientific and credible studies including all those I posted. Ivermectin is not, as the media and the FDA (and you, maybe?) have portrayed it, a veterinary medicine reserved for crazy tin foil hat folks. Rather it is a medicine that has been called a miracle drug. It is a medicine used around the world with great success. It deserves a good look as a treatment for COVID, and likely won't get that because of all the financial and political reasons I have already stated, which are undeniably a factor. If only someone in power could figure out how to make money off it.

That said, I can't account for how the drug is used outside of the oversight of a physician any more than I can for any prescription drug that is abused.

You won't get it from him Red. His line there is a direct pull from an MSNBC talking head.

The sad thing about this whole debacle is that we knew Ivermectin is a powerful anitviral that is non-patented (i.e. very cheap). Rather than trying it early on, it was denigrated by the MSM and so called "doctors" from organizations that have proven in the past to get it wrong, very wrong. We'll never know how many lives this might have saved at the outset of this thing. Which again is sad. Letting politics into the relationship between patient and doctor is bad medicine.

The evidence abounds supporting that Ivermectin does work effectively on the coof. I'm fairly certain a rather high percentage of physicians knew that too back in March 2020 (see the california docs form April 2020). Unfortunately all of them as well as their informed insight were rat holed by the corporate media alliance for being "against the narrative".

Peru had destroyed the coof using Ivermectin. Then they elected a socialist president. He outlawed it unilaterally. Go check out their data now. Pretty telling.

Oh yeah, check out Pfizers new coof pill. They just announced they are starting to manufacture a protease inhibitor ahead of FDA approval. If you understand chemistry you'll note some very glaring similarities to another protease inhibitor- ivermectin. Posted below is a good study on Ivermectin. Use that as basis for comparison.

I say take it in large doses, and wash it down with some beach! You'll be right as rain in no time at all!

Well, you can call them morons or not but my point is, they're listening to all the pundits on Facebook, Newsmax, etc. and not the FDA, CDC or any other medical organization that has the responsibility to make these decisions. You say multiple scientific, credible studies about Ivermectin, yet you have no expertise in medicine or immunology? So they should listen to people like you? No one except the polically tainted is calling it a miracle drug. You only hear that kind of thing from the tin foil hat types. The FDA finds no credible scientific studies supporting Ivermectin for COVID. But of course you'll say that's because there's no money in it..without a shred of proof that's the case. So right there, it's a conspiracy theory.

Your statements are so easily demonstrated to be false it is laughable. Do you know how to google? Ivermectin won a Nobel. Regardless how you feel about it’s use for COVID, you cannot argue it has been called a wonder drug.

That's not for COVID...back in 2017 COVID wasn't even around.

However, please show your proof that employees of the FDA are hiding evidence that Ivermectin works for COVID. You know what's laughable? What you think is proof Ivermectin is for COVID.
