Good grief. America's Frontline Doctors, a group of quacks who claim to know more than actual experts are pushing the use of ineffective parasite med to prevent and or treat COVID.
On a personal note, my hubby works for a farm store and has overheard customers explaining to each other how to dose animal wormer for people. This is in a community that is anti-mask, anti-vaccine, let's just all get infected. Up until, you know, they need hospitalization .
You know what a virus is, you know what a vaccine is and how it works. Knowing what ivermectin is used for, how can it possibly work except maybe to suppress some MINOR sxs which is not what YOU WANT because you can still infect others in a PANDEMIC! AND YOU CAN STILL GET VERY ILL!
And according to our “experts” you can still spread Covid after getting the vaccine.
And the vaccine has not had long term double blind studies either but it’s being pushed as effective.
Wow, just wow. All you have to do is Google how we know covid vaccines are effective and you will find that double blind studies were done. Is that too hard?

Highly Vaccinated States Keep Worst Covid-19 Outcomes in Check as Delta Spreads, WSJ Analysis Shows - WSJ. My computer had an update and now my headlines won't highlight for a link but there is LOADS of information out there about the success off the vaccine. I just listed a Republican source for you. What is "long-term" in your book? And why don't you think that we aren't in for long-term booster shots. That might be the "long-term" outcome of this because the vaccines do work.

If you disagree with MD RX Ivermectin as a tx for COVID, explain why without any double standards.
Because the people who make it say it’s not for humans? Because people have died due to its toxic effects? Because there is zero evidence that it’s effective?
Yes, people are relying on the magical properties of ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D to save them in lieu of taking a safe, effective vaccine. This strategy has been popularized by media figures such as Joe Rogan.
Frankly, I don't care if people want to take an antiparasitic prescribed by their provider. That provider ethically should be explaining that the drug has not been demonstrated to be effective. I do care that the unvaccinated are taking hospital beds away from cancer, MI, and trauma patients.
What makes it "magical"? I didn't understand that part.
It doesn't make sense that a physician would prescribe a medication they know conclusively to be ineffective and would therefore have to explain that it isn't, but prescribing it anyway. The challenge here seems to be what everyone will consider a valid source of information regarding effectiveness.

Physicians prescribe ineffective medications all the time at the request of patients or for sheer greed. Witness the use of antibiotics for viral URIs … when we’ve known about the danger of antibiotic overuse for over 50 years (I know because I learned about it in nursing school in 1970.)

So can you explain then why the vaccines were released under emergency authorization?
