Ivermectin is the generic version. Merck's version, Stromectol, is only one of many readily available formulations of Ivermectin. Merck is no better than the rest, but doesn't stand to make a meaningful profit from it so is wisely staying out of that aspect of the mess.

TigerBreath, did you read the study you posted? Tell us your take on the conclusion. I'll wait.

There is a safe an effective proven preventative measure out there though called a vaccine. Some of y’all are hell bent on convincing yourselves that it’s dangerous etc and let’s not kid ourselves it all boils down to politics. If Trump was out there pushing it the antivaxxers would all have both shots months ago.
This right here is bullshite.

Ivermectin fights 21 viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19. A single dose reduced the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in cells by 99.8% in 24 hours and 99.98% in 48 hours, according to a June 2020 study published in the journal Antiviral Research.
Because:

The Antiviral Research pre-publication paper, “The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitroExternal Link Disclaimer,” documents how SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) responded to ivermectin when exposed in a petri dish. This type of study is commonly used in the early stages of drug development. Ivermectin was not given to people or animals in this study.
Subsequent studies have not supported this conclusion and the most recent analysis of all studies on Ivermectin stated no conclusion could be drawn as the studies varied in so many factors. There are 3 big studies being carried out right now that should shed more light on its effectiveness.

The liability waivers the FedGov gave to the vax makers is such that if an OTC or other, safe treatment were found, they'd lose their immunity from liability.
Ivermectin is exactly that. It would open them up to trillions of dollars in liability worldwide and destroy their ability to recoup the money they expected to reap off of their vaccines.
Follow the money.

I think the actual argument is more along the lines of the EUA being pulled for vaccines in the event of a safe alternative like Ivermectin. So I don't think it has as much to do with liability as it preventing the emergency use authorization of the vaccines; i.e. the vaccine manufacturers would have to get full FDA approval before the vaccines could be deployed.

quote:
An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. Taking into consideration input from the FDA, manufacturers decide whether and when to submit an EUA request to FDA.

We just took economic advice / orders from doctors and public health experts for the past year lmao, many of whom are corrupt or narrow minded hacks.

I don’t think ivermectin would be an alternative to a vaccine. I could be wrong. Nevertheless, that’s far different from what he claimed.
Posted on 7/29/21 at 5:53 pm to WDE24
quote:I think pro-Ivermectin people see it as a safer alternative to the vaccine due to decades of use and claim that the reason for Ivermectin suppression is that they would have to revoke the EUA for vaccines. Obviously this sort of efficacy has yet to be backed up by hard data, but that is what they claim.

quote:Totally. I love the idea of a multi-pronged attack on covid, including Ivermectin and vaccines, especially in places where the vaccine is slower to get to since Ivermectin is so cheap and plentiful. But we first have to prove that Ivermectin is the miracle some people think it is, which I don't think has really conclusively happened.
Well, hopefully it ultimately proves true.

I went to Mexico a few months ago and Ivermectin was in good supply. Made sure to bring several boxes home
