Quote:A Sydney COVID-19 patient is recovering from a self-inflicted bout of diarrhoea and vomiting brought on by an unproven drug, health officials say, the latest round in a battle against self-medicating Australians.
Westmead Hospital toxicologist Associate Professor Naren Gunja said the patient arrived at the emergency department recently having overdosed on Ivermectin and other "supposed COVID 'cures'" ordered online.
...
The drug, used widely on farm animals and with no proven evidence it works against COVID-19, is not approved to treat the disease in Australia or any other wealthy western nation.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration, which has approved the drug only for the purpose of roundworm, scabies and inflammatory rosacea, last week warned of a significant increase in imports.
A spokesperson told The Guardian that Australian Border Force officers looking for potentially unlawful imports had noticed a more than tenfold increase.
"The TGA strongly discourages self-medication and self-dosing with Ivermectin for COVID-19 as it may be dangerous to your health," the organisation said in a release issued on August 23.
"There is insufficient evidence to validate the use of Ivermectin in patients with COVID-19."
Even Ivermectin manufacturer Merck doesn't recommend the drug against COVID-19, warning early this year there was "no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect" and noting a "concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies."
America's Food and Drug Administration famously came out even harder against increasing reports of Ivermectin usage.
"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it," the agency said.

Because the patent has expired and they're introducing a new drug! Duh.
You do realise it has been on the WHO's list of most essential human drugs for decades and won the Nobel Prize in 2015?
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medici...ell/facts/
We've known here about it since early 2000, but chose to run with 'we're thinking about starting up a trial that will start in 2024 and run to 2028' (terrific the sense of urgency)
There's also an earlier study - kills 99.98% in vitro - couldn't find it just now.

You guys sure love the koolaid.
Israel - kaboom.
Three jabs now mandated....by early 2023 the 4th....notice a pattern?
Not getting it yet kids? (wondering why case numbers are exploding in Oz?)
Finals, then 4 in a row!

About to crack 500 reported deaths, but thankfully 486 of them are coincidences....

Just in case you missed it the 1st & 2nd time, Flyboy:
Quote:And as the delta variant continues to infect the nation, even Kory admits that ivermectin (the human kind) is no match for it, tweeting on Aug. 9, “I have experienced and am getting reports from FLCCC Alliance members that Delta variant patients crashing into ICU’s ... are not showing responses to MATH+. We are demoralized and frightened. Early treatment is CRITICAL. Every household should take I-MASK+ upon first symptoms.”
People Are Eating Horse Paste To Fight COVID. These Doctors Are One Reason Why, HuffPost.
So, if your lead medical expert is dismayed by the lack of effectiveness of Ivermectin in the face of the Delta variant, isn’t the vaccine the only protection we have?

And just remember the wise words of Dr Eric Osgood, a former member of Dr Kory’s Alliance:
Quote:“[Ivermectin] shouldn’t have been promoted as a vaccine alternative or a miracle cure,” he said. “People are drinking sheep drench! If that’s not a call to use your clout and influence to say, ‘Enough is enough! Get your shots!’ then I just don’t know.”

As you rightly point out Israel is proof that while vaccinations reduce the severity of Delta they do stuff all reducing transmission, in fact they may even accelerate transmission.
Therefore Dan dangling the carrot again saying relaxing of rules will occur once get to 70-80% vaccinated is absolute BS.
This strain cant be contained even with stringent lockdowns such as we have had. Until our leaders accept that we must live with this and stop focusing on fear mongering 'case numbers' we will lose more young lives to suicide then we ever will lose to Delta (2 deaths in Victoria in last 10 months).

You’re right: we can’t continue to protect the unvaccinated. It’s bad luck for them that they can’t rely upon herd immunity to protect them. Bring in vaccine passports and send them to the back of the queue if they catch Covid and then we can open up and improve the mental health of the youth.

Which bit aren't you understanding?
Looks to me like you're not even protecting yourself.
If vaccines work, how does my vaccination status affect you?

And these numbers include the obviously targeted sub groups - the immune compromised, the fatties, etc.
If you're otherwise healthy, the survival rates are higher again.
But you're keen to jump on the Israeli style jab for life program....your choice.
And I won't even start on the adverse events.
What a bed wetting society we have become....
