Stop right there. show very positive effects albeit in small sample sizes. U btch about unknown long term side effect of a vaccine that has extensive research and backed by the medical community. Yet willing to take a med that show positive effect in small sample sizes. WHAT are long term side effects? Small sample size could mean what exactly? The moment u mentioned small sample wouldn't skeptics like u b wary about takin a med that's not designed for covid and its long term side effect? It's has no approval from the fda or who for its used in covid cause its fking EXPERIMENTAL. It's one thing to b skeptic about the vaccine it another to promote another experimental usage of a drug that is even less safe.
Ivermectin has been in use (on humans) for 40 years, we know what it does and we know what the side effects are. Whether or not it does anything vs covid is up for debate, but even if it does nothing for covid, the side effects and long term effects are well known.
I wasn't talking to you, but since you asked: you're a dipshit for not being able to comprehend studies that show you will get much better protection with the vaccine, even if you've had Covid. Keep spreading misinformation and acting the fool though. Don't let me stop you.
Ivermectin was FDA approved decades ago and over 4 billion doses have been administered since then and is one of the safest drugs you'll find in any pharmacy. It's not a miracle cure for COVID-19 symptoms, but it's not in any way dangerous. Getting an education would serve you better than parroting what you've been told by bad faith actors.
even if it does nothing for covid, the side effects and long term effects are well known. U do know that meds react differently to a certain population. There is a reason y some meds r contraindicated toward (chemo, pregnancy) cause of the side effects. We do not know the long term side effects it has on covid patients at all since this is a new type of population. Any drug that is used off label is it being used experimentally. It has not been through the extensive approval process of the fda. If said poster btch about being wary about how fast the vaccine was approved and the long term side effects he should display the same wariness about ivermectin a med that has no approval from fda for that usage (covid), unknown long term side effects on the covid population and small sample size to back up its effectiveness.
Do u want to compare education to see who is more qualified to talk about medications? A med designed for one indication and has shownit being safe does not mean it is safe for an entirely different indication unless it's been approved by the fda. If you and your healthcare provider decide to use an approved drug for an unapproved use to treat your disease or medical condition, remember that FDA has not determined that the drug is safe and effective for the unapproved use. Not enough data sample, unapproved by fda for covid treatment, unknown side effects when it comes to covid patient but yea it's safe. What a dumbass. Being skeptical about the vaccine is one thing, just don't b pushing out a med that is being used off label as the treatment it's could b potentially harmful.
Kid, don't continue to embarrass yourself. Meds designed for one indication are used off label literally every day. A drug doesn't become "dangerous" simply because you are using it for a different reason. Asprin was originally designed as an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic.....does that mean that it's "dangerous" when used by heart patients to help prevent heart attacks? A safe drug is a safe drug. New uses for drugs are being discovered every single day. Now go ahead and try to argue efficacy, but I think I'll go with the physicians who have first hand experience with it over someone pushing misinformation online. Azithromycin and Dexamethasone are also not designed for treating COVID-19.....and yet they are by far the most popular drugs prescribed for COVID patients. Just quit digging, this won't get better for you.
That is a reasonable way of thinking to b skeptical at the vaccine. But u can't use that logic to reject the vaccine and then push for ivermectin. There is no extensive research on ivermectin usage for covid and it has not been approved for that usage by the fda. Do u see the reasoning? Fda is designed to check and make sure drugs are safe for the public population, it's their job. U cant say I trust ivermectin bc it's been approved by the fda for an entirely different indication but can't trust the fda approval on the vaccine. Just remember If you and your healthcare provider decide to use an approved drug for an unapproved use to treat your disease or medical condition, know that FDA has not determined that the drug is safe and effective for the unapproved use.
yeah but it sure is fun though seeing how personal these philanthropists take this vaccine for some, taking this vaccine may be their life’s greatest legacy according to a few of these posters when you consider all the money they will save tax payers and all the lives they’ll have saved
I'm not worried about all of that. I just want you to remember Covid hasn't even been out 2 years and we already have a shot for it. Its already been administered and it has killed and/or maimed possibly more than Covid. But it doesn't stop Covid. All because people cant seem to stop watching the same outbreak movie over and over everyday on the news. I told you, once you turn the news off 99% of Covid wouldn't exist. That leftover 1% will be people walking around with masks on.
In the med world not everything is black and white. It's not that simple to say a safe drug is a safe drug. New uses for drugs are being discovered every single day. (That is tru). U also have to acknowledge that meds affect every population differently. U deem aspirin as a safe drug is safe drug, that's where u r wrong. Aspirin can't b used in population with poor renal function, it can't b used in children, avoid in pregnancy, gout, nsaid hypersensitivity. Does aspirin sound safe? Sure to certain groups but not to the ones I mentioned Sildenafil (viagra/revatio) known for (viagra) Ed can also b used for (revatio) PAH, does that mean I can just willy nilly use interchangeably? Fk no. Off label usage does happen but u can't say safe drug is safe drug it's not that simple. And it's not safe until approved by the fda. Yea fda can make mistakes but if u r not in the medical field u should have more faith in it. Ivermectin is a safe indication for one population doesn't mean it's safe for the covid population. I could b wrong but there's not enough data to refute me either so u should b skeptical also instead of using the dumb logic safe med is safe. Maybe I put too much faith in the fda, but they are designed for that reason to keep us safe and prevent us from using meds incorrectly. I do acknowledge that some drugs that have been use off label for so many years and is quite safe plus not approved by the fda. That's cause it's quite expensive to get fda approval, companies find it not worth (another Grey area in the health field). But this honestly does not apply to ivermecrin off label usage. If u disagree then I have tried.
It's funny seeing you here speaking as if you know the first thing about "the med world" while arguing that ivermectin, one of the safest drugs in the entire pharmacy, is dangerous to use off label. Even worse, comparing it to Viagra of all things.....SMH. Both the short and long term effects of ivermectin are WELL known....and have been well known for a VERY long time.....which is why it was FDA approved in the 90's. When I say a "safe drug is a safe drug", I mean that a drug that has been used literally billions of times over several decades and has been proven to be one of the safest drugs in the pharmacy is going to be safe to use at proper dosing levels. The only question would be about if it is efficacious. As of right now, all indications are that it is or that it can be when treating COVID-19 symptoms.
I told u b4. Safe drug is safe drug does not mean it's safe to all population. We honestly do not know the long term effect it has on the covid population. Just bc it's safe as an antiparastic meds doesnt mean u can say it just as safe for covid population (meds do not work that way.) If u r wary about vaccine and its long term effect, do not push for ivermectin. Right now it is being used experimentally for covid. It's not a surefire thing, not enough sample size. A med safe for one indication does not mean it can b safely applied to all indications/population. It's that simple
Funny how pro experimental Vaccers seem to think their being righteous when in reality their just being used by big pharma and over reaching government.
Oh my god. That's so incredibly ignorant. I've spelled out to you how that drug has been extensively studied and literally BILLIONS of doses have been administered over DECADES. The side effects, both short term and long term, have been well documented.....and in the history of the drug there's been less than 30 instances where serious side effects were documented......like I said, it's one of the safest drugs in the entire pharmacy. Ask yourself why I know these things and you don't. Again, I'm not saying Ivermectin is a miracle drug, and the existence of potentially effective treatments for COVID isn't a reason to avoid vaccination.....but pretending that one of the safest drugs you could possibly take is "dangerous" is just beyond ignorant. Do yourself a favor and bow out of this one killer.....and if you catch COVID and your doctor prescribes you medicine, just take it....even if some moron told you that it's "horse dewormer"
extensively studied and literally BILLIONS of doses have been administered over DECADES for antiparasites treatment. That does not mean it is safe for covid populations. Until the fda approves it or I seen enough data to back it up. I am not gonna push that med as a treatment for covid. What u want ivermectin to b used as is off labeled which does not have extensively studied and literally BILLIONS of doses have been administered over DECADES. It's that simple. We can go back and forth, but fact stands there not enough data yet to b pushing ivermectin as a treatment for covid. I do seen it been used as a last resort last ditch effort.
SMH, what exactly do you think "COVID populations" means? When there has been that level of study and human consumption, what about COVID infection would make the humans in that "population" significantly different from the millions upon millions that have consumed the drug previously? Do you think that people should stop taking blood pressure medication or using their asthma inhaler if they have a cold since now they are a member of the "cold population" meaning that their prescription drugs might no longer be safe? I mean, sure, my amlodipine was safe when I was prescribed it....but now I'm part of "the rhinovirus population"....maybe it's poison now. See, this is why uneducated people shouldn't attempt to comment on these kinds of things. What you "push" as a treatment for literally anything is the most irrelevant thing in the entire world, like I said, if you happen to get COVID and your doctor prescribes you medications to treat it, just take them.
I thinks it's quite a stretch to suggest there's any robust data indicating efficacy. Here's the COVID treatment guidelines from NIH: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/ "Because most of these studies have significant limitations, the Panel cannot draw definitive conclusions on the clinical efficacy of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide further guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19."
