India drops Ivermectin and HCQ

Ivermectin and HCQ were dropped from the clinical guidance after studies found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient.


Why HCQ and Ivermectin were removed from India’s Covid-19 treatment protocol


Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid 'miracle' drug

BBC has the credibility that is on par with CNN and the New York Times. And that is not a good thing. These links are further proof. There are many reputable and well-researched sources that show that Ivermectin is certainly a good ally in the fight against Covid:
https://covid.us.org/2021/06/27/ivermectin-use-in-india/
https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/08/14/indias-ivermectin-blackout/

The bottom line is that there are a few highly-placed people who control the narrative on this. But I am confident that eventually truth will prevail.

I did not know India Today was BBC. But I know news outlets are connected.

I take it you are denying India dropped Ivermectin and HCQ?

I was referring to your second link. India Today I am not sure about, but my feeling is that pressure must have been brought to bear for this decision. The very fact that there is official use of Ivermectin by many countries, here in Mexico, for instance, puts the lie to what your article is implying.

Oh. I haven't read that one yet....didn't mean to post it.

Personally I think people with covid should be able to try medicines whether they work or not, should they choose (as long as there is no danger). We are responsible for our own health.

The CDC endorses Ivermectin for the Afghan refugees. Why would they do that?

Agreed. The choice should be ours.

Well, that too. But the uses are more widespread. Along similar lines the RRT, under the unwitting aegis of the WHO, used Ivermectin and other treatments in treating Covid in India, with astounding results:

India's Ivermectin Blackout - Part V: The Secret Revealed

"Each home kit contained the following: Paracetamol tablets [tylenol], Vitamin C, Multivitamin, Zinc, Vitamin D3, Ivermectin 12 mg [quantity #10 tablets], Doxycycline 100 mg [quantity #10 tablets]. Other non-medication components included face masks, sanitizer, gloves and alcohol wipes, a digital thermometer, and a pulse oximeter.

"Campbell reports that the exciting things in the kit that grabbed his attention were: Zinc, Vitamin D3, Ivermectin, and secondary antibiotic treatment. "Interesting, that’s what the government decided to give."

The article is confusedly written in places, but worth reading.

It all depends on what sources you read.

The pharmaceutical companies that produce Ivermectin for humans say there is no evidence it works and even cautions against using for covid. And they stand to make a lot of money if they said it worked.

But I was really just answering yoyr question about the reason the CDC recommended it for immigrants. It was recommended to treat intestinal parasites (the purpose of the drug).

I do wonder what kind of fear drives people away from vaccines that have been proven effective with rare serious side-effects and to remedies not studied for, designed for, or recommended to treat viral infections. I suspect it is more politics than anything else. There is so much misinformation out there some people just don't know what to believe. There are some who just want natural medicines (something I can respect).

I think unvaccinated people would be better off trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle and taking vitamin instead of being guinea pigs for alternative treatments. The risks are not very high of dying of covid, so perhaps just being healthy would be the best choice if one does not want a vaccine.

What sources do you find reputable?
I find sources that agree with what I see to be reputable. (Kind of like you)
What I am seeing is unless you have a pile of comorbidities, you are not going to die of Covid.
I would seriously like to know why Covid is so much worse in CSRA than North East Ga.

So you find sources that agree with your opinion (you hold them as experts because of what they say as opposed to giving credence to what they say because they are experts)?

That is not how I "find sources". I do not like what the experts I have provided say, but I accept it because they are experts.

Who are some of the experts you belueve correct (and what are their qualifications)?

Jon, you admitted many times that you let your observations drive who you listen to.
Tell me how credible Faucci has been. He is supposed to be the expert of experts.
