A close friend and his wife just had moderate Covid. Not vaxxed. They followed the FLCCC protocol that includes the controversial Nobel-winning medication and they both beat it within a week. Anecdotal to be sure but the positive outcomes seem to outweigh the bad.

Sure can’t hurt. I personally haven’t seen a legitimate study that shows an actual positive correlation to prior or during, but I still take vitamin C too, even though I know that’s mainly BS.

Form 8500 instructions:


For example, any airman who is undergoing continuous treatment with anticoagulants, antiviral agents, anxiolytics, barbiturates, chemotherapeuticum agents, experimental hypoglycemic, investigational, mood-ameliorating, motion sickness, narcotic, sedating antihistaminic, sedative, steroid drugs, or tranquilizers must be deferred certification unless the treatment has previously been cleared by FAA medical authority. In such an instance, the applicant should provide the Examiner with a copy of any FAA correspondence that supports the clearance.
During periods in which the foregoing medications are being used for treatment of acute illnesses, the airman is under obligation to refrain from exercising the privileges of his/her airman medical certificate unless cleared by the FAA.
So you’ve grounded yourself while chugging Mr Ed’s and now you need to be cleared by the FAA even while you’re no longer taking it.
Good luck explaining that.

You apparently have a reading comprehension problem.

“Undergoing continuous treatment” As I said, WHILE YOU ARE TAKING A MED you are subject to the limitations.

While you are TAKING a medication “the airman is under obligation to refrain from exercising the priviledges” unless the MEDICATION is cleared by the FAA.

You are under NO OBLIGATION to retroactively report a medication consumed for an acute illness. You are only required to ground yourself DURING the illness and report any visits to a medical professional during the period preceding the medical.

Check out the UAL forums. People are taking this before, during and after trips.

In which case, you would have to report it on your medical application as a medication you are taking while exercising the privileges of your certificate and it would have to be on the approved list. But you DO NOT have to retroactively report having taken a therapeutic medication while self-grounded dealing with an acute medical condition. And although the jury is out on the prophylactic benefits of the Nobel-winning, HUMAN-use medication, the evidence is mounting that it is a valuable therapeutic when administered early in the disease process.

The "horse-dewormer" narrative is nothing more than an effort to discredit anyone who recommends it, prescribes it, or takes it, no matter how effective it might actually be. NOTHING can be allowed to detract from the cult of vaccination.

The horse dewormer narrative isn’t a narrative, it’s real. People are really taking it.

While also helping the general public feel better about travel in general so we can continue this recovery. Y’all aren’t conspiracy theorists y’all are just contrarian a**&oles who want to be able to reap the benefits without any of the selflessness or care for your fellow man. Not very religious in any sense, but I’m sure it’s a profoundly held belief and not at all political. 🙄

Newsflash: The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting the virus, nor does it stop someone from spreading it. Also, a person that has had covid has a better chance of not being a carrier or a spreader. The more you know, comrade.

Yes, how considerate of you to demand people do as you say or they can’t participate in society.

Given that the data from every single highly vaccinated country on earth clearly shows that this vaccine is an inferior covid treatment and per the FDA has worse and a higher number of side effects….

How would you feel if United mandated every employee go to a doctor and get a prescription for Ivermectin?

I’ve seen you peddle this same snake oil on multiple forums but you never include said “data”. Is this “data” what the CIA broadcasts to your fillings or is what the man is your head says when you’re not wearing your tinfoil hat? Go back to your enlightened posts on horse dewormer and all the “data” that only you have seen. I’m sure it’s all a coverup and conspiracy thank god there’s internet sleuths like you to let us all know what’s really going on. 🤫🙄
