re: Flu? Help me please

I always get the flu shot. As explained to me by my doctor:
It’s like insurance. The flu shot doesn’t mean you won’t get the flu, there’s too many different strains each year. It means if you get the flu your symptoms won’t be as bad and there’s a less chance it turns to pneumonia and gets real bad.

Ivermectin, just as any other parasitic medication, does not do anything for the flu or COVID. It never has. Studies with small sample sizes showed possible effects in the beginning, but when the big studies came in they proved what everyone already knew: antiparasitic medications kill parasites, antivirals kill viruses.

It's no different really than going to mechanic and saying I need you to change my tire, and then asking that he do it with a screwdriver. If you happen to feel better when you have a virus after taking ivermectin, it's not because of the ivermectin, it's simply because the virus is going away. People probably did a thousand other things while they had a virus that also had no impact whatsoever on feeling better, just like ivermectin.

Ivermectin kills parasites. There's no reputable evidence that it does anything for viruses.
