CV and mad panic behaviour

[flyboy77]

Flyboy, you might get lucky with the variants: maybe Ivermectin might finally work on one of them. Ivermectin fans will be like Powerball “investors” waiting with bated breath to see if their numbers come up this time.

By the way, here’s a good article about those pushing Ivermectin: People Are Eating Horse Paste To Fight COVID. These Doctors Are One Reason Why, HuffPost.

The article deals with the Front Line Covid Critical Care Alliance, a group of Doctors who desperately sought to repurpose existing medications to give them some weapons to battle Covid when nothing else was available. They had a big win with a combination of the steroid methylprednisolone and other drugs and supplements. They pressed on despite resistance in the medical community until studies confirmed the effectiveness of steroids in treating serious cases. But then they backed the wrong horse based on dodgy studies. While steroids operate as anti-inflammatories and there’s a plausible way they might help treat Covid, it’s much harder to see how Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic rather than anti-viral medication, would help.

As the article notes, initially the FLCCCA was trying to find a stopgap pending the arrival of effective vaccines but it seems the support from right wingers and anti-vaxxers has worked to stop the FLCCCA recommending vaccines.

The article quotes Dr Eric Osgood, a former member of the FLCCCA who quit because of the group’s failure to endorse vaccines:
But even the remaining members of the FLCCCA are worried that the Delta variant is kicking Ivermectin’s arse:

You've never heard of Penicillin Mav? Used by humans and animals alike for many a decade.

Ivermectin - the sheep drench line is a great straw man line (well poor really).

Ivermectin has been on the WHO's most essential drug list since circa 1980.

You reckon it doesn't work - you base that on the spin you read on cereal packets or worse....

I look at the data - and the evidence is overwhelming with next to zero risk of any adverse side effects.

or Tess Lawrie's meta study undertake to the highest Cochrane standard.

Do you really think these types (Lawrie, Kory, Meduri, Cadegiani, Malone etc.) are all just crazy nutters?

Why is your view better than theirs?

Do you back slappers here ever actually read any of this stuff or just run a 'fact check' search and grab a hold of that biased garbage?

Osgood? Looks like he got bought....

And there are many other viable treatments too for that matter.

Here's hoping you don't have Soyboy Sutton bed sheets.

Speaking of which, Slug Gate #2 resumes at 2.30pm.
