Ivermectin

I chose the word "approaches" deliberately,

I think it's ace-2 inhibitor function combined with a presumed ability to moderate the damage to heart muscle cells qualifies.

Last month the Target CVS filled my wife's prescription. With a coupon for it as well.
Two days ago one of the pharmacists there started to fill her new prescription The other pharmacist boss stopped him, saying not FDA approved.
The prescription was then sent to Walgreens. I'm going to see if it was filled in an hour. With a coupon.

I don't think your point makes sense? Vaccinated people still get COVID, just not as severe symptoms. So they would still need to be concerned with the long term consequences of COVID. They would just need to add in the long term consequences of the vaccine.

Some fully vaccinated people do get severe symptoms and some still die from it.

Old news and a bit of a scandal.

The government in GOA has some sort of an arrangement to use Remdesivr exclusively.

Likely much like the one so much of our medical industrial complex has to use the jab exclusively.

Walgreens would not fill the prescription..

Their excuse... They said people so many people were getting prescriptions for it for COVID that it created a shortage for patients that need it for approved illnesses. So they decided to fill them for those illnesses only.

Walgreens abd CVS were filling them for COVID last month

Off to the feed store then. I think even tractor supply has it.

This paper in Narure gives an interesting perspective as to why it isn't being recommended yet. The tldr is that the clinical trials aren't complete yet and previous studies confirming its effectiveness lacked scientific rigor so can't he trusted.

Just wait for the studies to be completed. Then we'll know.

Well, these guys shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2015 for showing how Avermectin and its derivative Ivermectin was a great treatment for malaria in humans.

So it has been, well, studied.

I wasn't familiar, that's pretty interesting. The idea is that blood with ivermectin in it reduces the lifespan of the mosquitos so there's less chance they'll reproduce. The human blood becomes a pesticide.

It's great that they've studied it for other cases bit they have to determine its effectiveness for covid before they decide if it's used.

You show up with a script from your Dr and the pharmacist refuses to fill it due his *** for practicing medicine without a license.

The number of folks who need Ivermectin for parasites in US is astonishingly small.
