Ivermectin & Anti - Vaxx fans are oblivious to facts & reason or deliberately advocating false data.
Ignore them as you would Flat Earthers. Its pointless engaging.

They need to visit ICUs; to Witness their Stupidity ….or Engage with It as a Victim….. 

^Will you tell to Oxford University?

 

Leaving aside the discussion about credibility of the 121 studies and their 77 piers, some unbiased thinkers may get a second thought: 

Why a medicine - honoured by Nobel prize, produced by a renowned pharma company over 30 years, approved by FDA for other diseases - should be so harmful for Covid-19 treatment when no adverse effects and deaths are known at the millions using it mainly in India and Bangladesh (and other countries too) for other diseases?  

 

So, the unbiased thinker may ask: if it does not help, it does not kill either, does it? So why such a strong opposition?

Because instead of getting vaccinated, some misguided people think this stuff will protect them instead. Not even the vast majority of those dubious studies claim that Ivermectin will come close to protecting people as will vaccination. It just goes to show how far down the rabbit hole you've gone that you can't see this obvious point. And as for India, Uttar pradesh was the poster boy  for India's success. Oddly enough, afterwards it was found that excess mortality in Uttar pradesh had jumped by 110%. Hmmmm....

Why the strong support for a drug that's unproven? Falling for the fake news websites?

Right. And Putin legally won his last election.

 

Singapore has an extremely high vaccination rate, fantastic testing and tracking, and still can't get rid of the virus.

 

India's government is telling a porkie.

As opposed to results from Indian state Uttar Pradesh with 200+ mil., now practically zero Covid-19. 

I would bet 85%+ are seropositive already. Look at how fast cases surged then plunged - a significant proportion of the Indian polulation already have antibodies.

But they can still get covid. And India has massively under counted deaths and cases .

And the post of horse medicine no need to remove?   And such arguments as "flat earth"?

 

Such debate is senseless, why not to lock it down?

I took it before I got a vaccine and keep a supply for when I get Covid.

It's been really weird.  Certain world leaders faced with increasing deaths from Covid repeatedly declaring a litany of disparate excuses: it's a hoax, it's a flu, take [name of unimpressive pharmaceutical here], alien DNA in the vaccine, and so on.  The only word to describe it is macabre. 

I've been trying to figure what these guys (and gals, like certain US state governors) have to gain from more deaths.  I suspect the force propelling this is a certain man in the US that appears to be the architect of the new world fascist movement.  No, not the orange guy, it's the one he listens to, I won't mention his name (hint: he wears three shirts at a time).

No idea whom you are talking about. But the reason they deny this pandemic is all for political gain. Many have fallen for the lies. Especially so called conservatives. They are pandering to this base. Stunning as it seems, a vast majority of republicans believe Trump won the election! Boggles my mind how supposedly intelligent people could fall for that.

Allen West, Unvaccinated Texas Governor Candidate, Takes Ivermectin After Wife Gets COVID

"Allen West, the former GOP congressman and chairman of the Texas Republican Party who is challenging Governor Greg Abbott in the Texas gubernatorial race, is taking Ivermectin after his wife tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a thread on his Twitter account Saturday, West is experiencing "a low grade fever and light body aches." He has canceled in-person events out of concern for public safety "until receiving an all-clear indication."

And yet, there are many recent cases of Ivermectin poisoning in the US, while the drug has no benefit against Covid.

You surely have some links that justify your statements (3x better?) Otherwise it's in the same category of dehonestation as few cases highly publicised, however, always after debunking retracted (in silence with fine print or not at all by some).

 

One of such lie recently disseminated - and later retracted - by MSM, incl. Rolling Stones, Independent,  Newsweek, The Guardian, about a case in Kentucky Sequoyah hospital. 

 

Anybody is free to search for himself to see where is the truth.

Alleging Fake News. The last resort of the true believer..

[Bkk Brian]

The "staggering scale of the fraud" of Ivermectin research for Covid, on top of its serious flaws. @GidMK reviews the nil effect of this drug after deleting fraudulent trials.

 

"a number of very high-profile studies were revealed to be potentially or definitely faked. However, there remained hope, because there was one trial in the bunch that had enormously positive results, and this skewed the scientific appraisal to favour ivermectin immensely.

Unfortunately, it turns out that this study was almost certainly not conducted as described in the published paper. Removing this trial from the literature entirely overturns any benefit for ivermectin and makes it quite likely that the drug is useless for Covid-19 after all."

Actually there were 2 major studies that were judged to be fraudulent. One from Egypt and the other from Argentina. And the experience of Uttar Pradesh in allegedly suppressing covid mortality via Ivermectin is also clearly nonsense. As I've cited elsewhere, mortality rates jumped 110% during the pandemic in that Indian state. I guess that's inexplicable only if you're a true believer in Ivermectin.

Okay, here is the money quote from the New Mexico story:

 

"

In an update on COVID-19 in the state on Wednesday, acting state Health Secretary Dr. David Scrase said two unnamed people in the state died from ivermectin poisoning, one of which was already dealing with a severe case of COVID-19. 

"It's a serious issue. We need to watch it," Scrase said."

 

So, the state health agency notes the deaths from Ivermectin poisoning. You claim they are either wrong, or misquoted. 

 

The simplest explanation is that you no longer believe in facts, or reality, and prefer to disregard facts that do not fit into your world view. You can do that if you want, but don't expect many others to pay any attention to you.

The takeaway is that the Ivermectin proponents are like a religious cult, they don't need proof it works, they have Belief. 

 

The test is asking them what it would take for them to give up on Ivermectin. You won't get a straight answer.
