Swearing it works is premature. Swearing it doesn't work is premature.Like the people who swear that Ivermectin works?
There is some (scant) evidence that it can somehow work if given at certain doses EARLY on in infection.Swearing it works is premature. Swearing it doesn't work is premature.
That sounds good on the surface, but when it significantly negatively impacts others, maybe the good of the whole takes precedent. A very good friend of mine, who is fully vaccinated, is recovering at home. His very good friend, who chose not to be vaccinated, is going down hill in a hospital, along with many others who chose not to be vaccinated.I think you misunderstood. I think people should be able to make their own medical decisions.
But you're ignoring the 18+ months of people trying it, and governments trying it, and it not working. No, they weren't large-scale clinical trials, but after a certain number of data points showing its ineffectiveness - that counts.We'll see what some of the trials going on outside of the US show. Japan and the UK are doing large scale trials. If they show it doesn't help, then let's be done with the issue. Pounding either belief short of that is not really helping.
In the lab Ivermectin was shown to be effective. Even the CDC admits that much. But that doesn't translate to proving it works in humans. There have been reports around the world that it's been saving lives. There's no way to prove that it was the Ivermectin that saved those lives. You also can't prove that it didn't. You can also compare statistics of countries who use it vs those that don't. That still doesn't get you there.But you're ignoring the 18+ months of people trying it, and governments trying it, and it not working.

Who'd ever have imagined that an anti-parisitic medication wouldn't be useful on a human virus.
Doctor, I have a cold. Can you get me some antibiotics? Same situation.
Another revealing statement.Certain select groups deserve criticism.
I have no skin in this fight, but assuming that a drug designed for one thing won't be effective for something else is shortsighted. Drugs are used for all sorts of things that they were not originally designed for.But you're ignoring the 18+ months of people trying it, and governments trying it, and it not working.

Correct, Its called "off label".I have no skin in this fight, but assuming that a drug designed for one thing won't be effective for something else is shortsighted. Drugs are used for all sorts of things that they were not originally designed for.
For instance, who would have thought Botox would help with migraines?
I received this today from the accrediting body for my specialty. There are threatening to boot your certification if you speak out against the "science".
I have seen ER docs post they will refuse to treat covid positive people if the person is not vaccinated. I bet THAT would not get them booted, but saying a kid doesn't need a vax would.
The water is starting to get very murky.... This is like the wife saying nope you drank soda and ate junk im not doing your root canal.I received this today from the accrediting body for my specialty. There are threatening to boot your certification if you speak out against the "science".

So, should "the greater good" outweigh your 2A rights?That sounds good on the surface, but when it significantly negatively impacts others, maybe the good of the whole takes precedent. A very good friend of mine, who is fully vaccinated, is recovering at home. His very good friend, who chose not to be vaccinated, is going down hill in a hospital, along with many others who chose not to be vaccinated.
it's "toe the line", and did you see what they were doing? Dishing outThey are going to squash any Dr who does not tow the party line.
Arkansas doctor under investigation for prescribing anti-parasitic drug thousands of times for Covid-19 despite FDA warning
The Arkansas Medical Board is investigating after a doctor said he prescribed an anti-parasitic drug "thousands" of times for treatment of Covid-19, including to inmates in an Arkansas jail.www.cnn.com
Okay, I just read the article twice and I don't see any reference to dishing out "farm grade de-worming medicine". The doctor was prescribing ivermectin for human use. He wasn't telling them to go to Tractor Supply or Rural King. If I missed it, please point out the part about telling them to use farm grade de-worming medicine.Dishing out farm grade de-worming medicine to anyone testing positive.
facts dont matter. FEEWINGS matter.Okay, I just read the article twice and I don't see any reference to dishing out "farm grade de-worming medicine".

indeed it doesn't specify how or where the provider for the drugs. It seems the employee for it from a legit pharmacy.Okay, I just read the article twice and I don't see any reference to dishing out "farm grade de-worming medicine".

So... You were chastising Chip in another thread for creating a strawman. What's this then?indeed it doesn't specify how or where the provider for the drugs. It seems the employee for it from a legit pharmacy.
