With some regular opinion holders allowing themselves to become frightened over some misinformation about a new stain of CV-19 it probably a good time to update them on the use of ivermectin.

It may be confusing to some as the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) lifted some of the restrictions on its use earlier this year.

The lifting of restrictions of this drug is not an endorsement for its use in treating CV-19.

If fact the TGA states “…. there was an “overwhelming weight of evidence against the use of ivermectin” with large clinical studies showing no benefit in treating COVID.”

Why the ban then?

Firstly, there were safety fears about the doses being advocated for its use to treat COVID.

Secondly, there was a health risk associated with people taking ivermectin in an attempt to prevent infection rather than getting vaccinated. This was viewed as a risk to the person as well as the wider public.

Thirdly, it was feared an increase in prescriptions would lead to a shortage for those who needed the medicine to treat scabies and parasite infections.

There are good reasons to listen to authoritative public health information.

What utter tripe.Ivermectin was banned because under legislation they could not approve a basically untested vaccine if there was any effective treatment available. There was so much money, tens of billions with a "B", to be made from covid vaccines, that nothing could be allowed to interfere with it's approval. It would be interesting to have a look at a few bank accounts.

I don't know what clinical trial you require, but Indias largest province Uttar Pradesh, population 220 million gave out Ziverdo kits free based on Ivermectin to all infected & all associated with any infected person, & killed the pandemic totally dead in it's tracks. That is a pretty big trial. There are many other examples of whole smaller countries stopping covid dead with Ivermectin.

Personally I imported at great hassle, 20 Ziverdo kits & 100, 12mg Ivermectin from India, to be able to protect friends & family from Covid. We all refused the jab, & went about our lives normally. When as expected I caught Covid, at 82 I was a candidate to die from it. Using Ziverdo kit containing just 3 12mg ivermectin tablets & an antibiotic I was free of it in just 52 hours. 10 other people have had the same success with our Ivermectin.

Who ever approved the ban of Ivermectin should be on trial for murder in my opinion.

"authoritative public health information".

Actually, AUTHORITARIAN health information that was mostly wrong, and should have put a lot of 'experts' behind bars, but they are still out there, waiting to repeat the same atrocities when Pandemic 2.0 is created for Big Pharma to supply more dud vaccines and make more billions of dollars.

Exactly, Ttbn,

This was an exercise in enforcing authority,
health or no-health plays no role in that.

There are good reasons to reject authoritative "public" health information, even when that particular information happens to be scientifically correct and able to contribute to one's physical health - because not being slaves is more important.

There is of course nothing "public" about government, which has nothing to do with the actual living people, its victims.

WTF?

You're wrong Hasbeen.

The latest clinical guidance for CV-19 treatment form the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on 28 March 2023 states specifically (their capitals):

DO NOT USE IN COVID-19 : Ivermectin

India's successes in response to CV-19 are attributed to the public health response not ivermectin.

Pharmaceutical scams can come in many forms when releiving the gullible of their money.

So the big money finally got to them too.
