    Finding a possible early treatment for COVID-19 in a 40-year-old antidepressant

    Transcript of full interview at link.

    I'm not a medical health professional or scientist but this sounds promising. I am not high risk based on age or many underlying health problems but I've always been concerned about the long-term effects of COVID even when one is asymptomatic. It's encouraging to read.

    What do you think?

    Great news if it works. Put it through the requisite trials and see if it works. Always useful to have a way to treat people for whom vaccines won't work. Also handy if the virus changes enough that current vaccines don't work.

    Yeah, I saw a,report on 60 Minutes about that. There is a Dr in charge of all the people at a racetrack that used it during a,COVID outbreak there. Of the people that took the drug, none had to be hospitalized. Of the ones that refused it, 12 were hospitalized and 1 died.

    The truth is that America's Frontline Doctors have spoken the truth--HCQ is cheap, long in use, widely used in other parts of the world like Africa where Covid Crisis never reached critical mass.

    The truth is that Ivermectin works beautifully. The truth is that there are already numerous good treatments available.

    The truth is that those healthcare professionals mentioning that fact in public was quickly maligned and censored.

    Read between the lines....

    I'm not sure I would take a psychoactive chemical for what can be cured by good nutrition and HCQ or Ivermectin.

    Mainstream doctors are not going to prescribe HCQ or Ivermectin to treat COVID so those are basically blacklisted in the US unless someone knows how to get those controlled substances without an Rx.

    So, that leads to this next possible treatment which looks promising so far. It could be accepted by the medical community and made readily available to patients. Worse case scenario is the studies don't pan out.

    Amazing how some people think taking a medicine for worms and such that drug is described as "working beautifully"?

    One common thread to these drugs seems to be they can make mild or nonexistant cases of COVID "work beautifully" but if a case gets bad, then gee too bad.

    In any event, comparing the highly studied COVID vaccines show little problems for millions of users, but the people who think that's dangerous think getting COVID and then taking their pet drug is better. Even though the Vaccines cause less side effects than ivermectin.

    Yes, they are blacklisted, demonstrating how politicized the medical profession has become during Operation Covid.

    Drugs that work fine against the virus are portrayed as dangerous or ineffective by the media, showing its role in the deception.

    So we are not really talking about drug efficacy, we are talking about what is politically correct.

    Isn't the goal to kill the bug that's infecting you? Isn't the goal to cure the disease?

    You have trouble with describing that outcome as "working beautifully"?

    Goodness, it sounds like you might be invested in Moderna or Pfizer. :D

    The better idea, even if it worked well (which it doesn't- the studies done either show it doesn't work at all or at best ivermectin kinda sort-of maybe helps!) is to NOT EVEN GET THE DISEASE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

    Multiple studoes, from dozens of credible medical cases and universities around the WORLD shows these vaccines are very effective and very safe in about 9 months of use.

    And the MRNA vaccines are not "brand new", they have been used in a variety of ways. Indeed, its possible there are secret side effects some way as in anything we use, but there is plenty of side effects from the livestock de-worming drugs they are recomending from the anti-vax people. Gee, not impressed!

    So the score score is;
    COVID- 550,000 DEAD, 2 million seriously ill
    VACCINE- 0 deaths from vaccine (maybe a 100 people or so as claimed, without evidence, from anti-vaxers).

    Gee, which to choose?

    This is on the VAERS site. It is far less than the number of deaths from the virus, but there have been deaths.

    The daily dance of deaths of thousands of Americans motivates me.

    The vitamin salesmen and conspiracy theorist basement scientists aren't making it.

    Bad news for you Dave--hundreds and thousands of Americans die every single day. Life is a beach, and then you die. C'est la vie.
