Bruce
First of all read the entire post before running to the keyboard in a fit of rage.
I was always left wondering why the blatently one sided view on ivermection and the outright lies that you have been posting in this thread. Well I think I found my answer.
"My Aunt and Uncle may be a real life example of this. My Uncle strongly believed the disinformation pushed by politicians and foreign adversaries. His like minded preacher brought CoVID to a prayer breakfast. My quite unhealthy uncle experienced a few weeks of mild illness while my healthy, daily exercising, just retired, Aunt likely received a strong exposure while caring for him. Despite weeks of hospital care including the best wormers and anti-parasitic drugs my aunt did not survive the illness. Family reunions will not be the same. "
Did your aunt or uncle ever take ivermectin? I suspect that they did and the aunt that you loved so dearly is no longer with us and you blame ivermectin for that.
Before you say that you have never lied let me put this out there. You have stated numerious(at least 10 that i can see just in this thread} times that ivermecten is a horse wormer. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE and there is no such thing as a horse worming drug that I know of. You damn well know that ivermectin is not a horse worming drug but keep saying it to belittle its existence. You claim to be a expert in your field but don't know that?
Ivermectin is a well-known, FDA-approved anti-parasite drug that has been used successfully for more than four decades to treat onchocerciasis “river blindness” and other parasitic diseases. It is one of the safest drugs known. It is on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, has been given 3.7 billion times around the globe, and has won the
Nobel Prize for its global and historic impacts in eradicating endemic parasitic infections in many parts of the world.
You post every article you can find that disparages ivermectin and not one article on the entire internet that has a differing conclusion. You claim to be a researcher and data analyst and yet you could not find this paper published in THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THERAPEUTICS. In case you have never heard of them in all of that research that you do here is what they do.
American Journal of Therapeutics is an indispensable resource for all prescribing physicians who want to access pharmacological developments in cardiology, infectious disease, oncology, anesthesiology, nephrology, toxicology, and psychotropics without having to sift through stacks of medical journals.
Here is the published paper
ed within clinical trials. Areas of Uncertainty: The majority of trialed agents have failed to provide reproducible, definitive proof of efficacy in reducing the mortality of COVID-19 with the exception of corticosteroids in moderate to severe disease. Recently, evidence has emerged that the...

You can read the entire paper and draw your own conclusions but I suspect you will not even read it because of your built in bias due to the heartache of losing your aunt.
Here is there conclusion
Conclusions:
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.
If you are what you claim and a data scientist and researcher you should know that built in biases of the researcher is a real thing. Shame on you for knowingly spreading lies and a blatant bias towards a drug that is being used all over the world and especially in poor countries where big pharma does not have a stranglehold on the flow of information.
I tell my friends to get the vaccine because I think the benefits of it seem to outweigh the risk of getting it. I also have friends that will not get the vaccine under any circumstances whatsoever. I tell them to maybe try a prophylaxiis of ivermectin and vitamin D and a few other vitamins.
Tell me Bruce what is the harm in that. Or do you think that these people should get COVID and maybe perish because they are stupid or obtuse or whatever adjective you would like to use for them today. What learned advice do have for these people? I would be curious to your answer.
I truly am sorry that your aunt is with her savior but not giving any alternatives to the millions of people THAT WILL NEVER GET THE VACCINE NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY is truly shameful in my opinion.
How about you post articles that do not support ivermectin and articles that support there use and let people decide there own opinion and not yours. Your problem is you think that everyone that does not agree with your conclusions cannot think for themselves and therefore need you to tell them what to think.
Have a nice day.
