Legit question, who is saying this is just ivermectin?


I don't think anyone is saying that....even the author of that article said that molecularly they were different which makes it 100% legal/ok to patent Pfizer's pill.

The deal is they work is pretty much the same way to inhibit the virus.

But your argument was that they are the same drug.

Spoiler alert: almost all drugs work the same way to inhibit pathogens - by fricking up their proteins in some way.

Was going to same the same. It's always about stopping replication at some level.

No my argument wasn't that. I admit I had not looked into it myself hence my original wording "many people are saying" and after reading further I acknowledged they weren't

My original point was they discouraged people from taking Ivermectin as a pure money grab despite Ivermectin being very effective. I still stand by that

Why Ivermectin Is Superior to Pfizer’s Antiviral Pill
Comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore discusses a video by John Campbell, Ph.D. where he explains the similarities between Pfizer’s expensive new antiviral drug for COVID and ivermectin, and why ivermectin is better.


So your second link is an article written by an author that discusses a video by a comedian discussing the video by John Campbell on a website that describes themself as

quote:

The Defender explores the theme of small (children) vs. Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Energy, Big Food, Big Chemical and how these industries have subverted and corrupted our democracy, our regulatory agencies, the scientific research arms of academic institutions and the media to the point where these institutions, created to protect us and our children from corporate greed, now protect corporate profits.

The Defender exposes the corrosive impact of corporate power on democracy. Our work stems from the premise that health and environmental issues are always human rights issues, and the best measure of how a democracy is functioning is whether it maintains the public commons, the public trust assets, in the hands of all the people, instead of allowing them to be concentrated and stolen from the people by large aggregations of wealth and power.

The Defender fights back against censorship that serves corporate and authoritarian interests and now defines nearly every corporate news and social media platform, imperils our ideals, our values, our democracy, our liberty and threatens to trample our humanity.

The Defender provides open, honest discussion about issues systematically ignored by the majority of media outlets, either because the topics are considered taboo, or because corporate advertisers are allowed undue influence over content. The dearth of high-quality science and medical journalism, untainted by Pharma and other mammoth industries, has created a global crisis of misinformation. Entrenched power centers have politicized, hijacked and openly censored science, hobbling authentic debate over critical issues including vaccines, 5G, glyphosate and other pesticides, climate change, water quality, fluoride and chronic disease.

The Defender is a unique platform for frank, civil, nonpartisan discussions of evidence-based science and medicine. The site hosts a space where writers of every viewpoint may safely air contrary science-based views. It includes a robust comment and discussion section, which is closely monitored to maintain an atmosphere of polite, gracious, genial, and high-minded conversation devoid of vitriol and partisanship.

The Defender demonstrates that, in contrast to the pharmaceutical cartel, we are not frightened of honest debate.

Heroin and Tylenol are the same because both take my headache away.

When everyone knows they're different, because only Heroin gives you that big warm hug feeling.

Yea try to discredit the author instead of the information. Good job!

There are the papers the Dr used linked in that article. Why not attack those and the point he comes to using those papers that clearly show Ivermectin is effective and maybe even more effective than the new drug?

Perhaps because you can't?

Jesus Christ some of you make the most asinine counterpoints.

This is not even relative and makes you look as stupid as Sao and his lame-arse hyperbole.

I'll add that the most annoying part of all of this to me is when an individual uses their title "DR." in way to give more confidence in their opinion, when actually his credential has nothing to do with the topic he speaks on.

That's also in the article, MSaoNBC.

Pretty quick drug development by pFizer. It's almost like they had an existing drug that they copied the pharmacokinetics from.

He only made the conclusions using the papers he cited. He didn't do the research and then write up the results personally so his credentials don't make or break the information considering that.

He simply read the studies and shared the information. You guys are doing everything you can to attack him and the site linked yet have failed to address the actual research used and linked.

But why should I trust his ability to comprehend, interpret, or understand the information presented in the papers? He is just some random guy on the internet, until he uses his degree to imply some expertice to which he is speaking.

BTW the new Pfizer drug is only most effective when paired with an HIV drug.

quote:

Pfizer said its Covid-19 pill, used with an HIV drug, cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in high-risk adults who’ve been exposed to the virus.


quote:

Ritonavir, sold under the brand name Norvir, is an antiretroviral medication used along with other medications to treat HIV/AIDS.[1][2][3] This combination treatment is known as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).[3] Often a low dose is used with other protease inhibitors.[3] It may also be used in combination with other medications for hepatitis C.[4] It is taken by mouth.[3] The tablets of ritonavir are not bioequivalent to capsules as tablets may result in higher peak plasma concentrations.[3]

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and numbness of the hands and feet.[3] Serious side effects include liver problems, pancreatitis, allergic reactions, and arrythmias.[3] Serious interactions may occur with a number of other medications including amiodarone and simvastatin.[3] At low doses it is considered to be acceptable for use during pregnancy.[5] Ritonavir is of the protease inhibitor class.[3] Typically, however, it is used to inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes other protease inhibitors.[6] This inhibition allows lower doses of these latter medications to be used.



The side effects sound like fun!

You dont have to. The papers are linked in the article. You have consistently ignored them and continue to deflect.
