Your daily reminder that this is in spite of having easy access to vaccines that large swathes of the world are having to wait for. Even most New Zealanders are having to wait for those things (while getting lectured about how we need to get the vaccine…thanks, I’ll go pick one off the vaccine tree) while these cunts can choose from three but chose…animal medication.
If anyone wants to know why these people think this may be a solution, this is it:
(Note: Just because I’m offering an explanation, does NOT mean I agree. Please never give yourself any medication without it being prescribed to you by a trained professional.)
Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug, but studies show it can be used to treat a range of viruses.
• While the COVID-19 virus is inside your body, it is not only rapidly multiplying, but also reducing your ability to fight it. This, in turn, makes the infection worse.
• The virus does this this by using cellular transport to find its way into a cell nucleus, where it uses a protein known as known as importin alpha/beta-1, to suppress the body’s antiviral response.
• However, the theory is that Ivermectin can block this transportation from occurring to begin with, or at least some of it. This would allow the body to fight the virus better, without the natural antiviral process being so inhibited.
This data is from clinical trials, most of which have only occurred in vitro. These are not certainties. These are not answers.
We do not know if Ivermectin is truly successful, or if it will be beneficial in treating COVID-19. This medication is not FDA approved for humans, and it is especially not approved for treating a novel virus.
Researchers have identified potential genetic risk factors that could explain why some people lose their sense of smell and taste after being infected with Covid-19. The two signature symptoms are thought to arise after the virus damages infected cells in the nasal cavity.
The cells, which are part of an area called the olfactory epithelium, protect neurons linked to smelling. Although the exact cause for this sensory loss is not yet known, a new study suggests that two genes – called UGT2A1 and UGT2A2 – in the nose tissue that help metabolize odors could offer an explanation.
