@Swa Where are you?

Please…


PLEASE…



NO!

There’s enough of them in the thread already.

 

[Howdy]

Ivermectin is out.

Gargling Betadine is in.

Close the thread, a new snake oil has appeared.

 

[The_MAC]

So flippin dramatic

Not gonna happen, people will not allow it, not to that extent at least

 

[tetrasect]

Yes, but 2ml for 7 weeks in the eye, then 5ml for 1 week orally, followed by a maintainance dose of 2ml up the arse...

I prefer oral first and up the arse last. Occular is not really my thing...

 

[tetrasect]

Nah, Those that took the Ivermectin from our farmers co-op first drank it and when that had bad effects they resorted to rubbing it into the inner thighs where the fat apparently absorbed it...

@Swa Where are you?

I fear he has joined the Herman Cain club...

 

[tetrasect]

As much as I agree, have you seen the numerous doccies about the Blue Zones i.e. high density of centenerians

It suggests that many other factors are involved, that have less to do with modern medicine and more with general lifestyle.

Combine the two and you have a good receipe for quality longevity

Those purple Okinawa sweet potatoes are the secret. Ordered seeds from china but they never grew...

I am actually worried about the guy.

I am actually worried about the guy.

Maybe a mod can email him or something?

 

[buka001]

Maybe a mod can email him or something?

Good idea.

 

[tetrasect]

Good idea.

That reminds me of a few other people who were very active and suddenly disappeared...

Would be interesting to see an analysis of the number of active members who have suddenly vanished...

I expect the "vanishing rate" would increase and decrease with the waves of the pandemic...

Also wonder what the vanishing rate of the anti-mask/lockdown crowd was, compared to the pro crowd, back in the days...

Would be nice to get a ratio...

Might scare some sense into these people...

More IVM studies with some serious and problematic results. Potential fraud.

Is this why they are jumping on the Betadine bandwagon?

I am seeing claims that Ivermectin helped India overcome COVID. So I used the following stats to generate the following image:

Number of Cases

prsindia.org

COVID-19 | Government of Goa

Official website of Government Of Goa. It displays all important orders,circulars,notifications,recruitments etc pertaining to various Government departments in Goa

www.goa.gov.in

List of states and union territories of India by population - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I found this article saying which states in India went on Ivermectin:

Choosing and using ivermectin for covid-19 in India - Medical Update Online

Interview and article by Christine Clark. In the Northern in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, ivermectin has been in use for treatment and prophylaxis of covid-19 since August... read more.

medicalupdateonline.com

No statistical differences so far and those that did not use Ivermectin are, on average, better off.

India is over this Delta wave.

Less than 15% of India is fully vaccinated and about 50% has had 1 shot.

So based on this I would say neither Ivermectin nor the vaccine (too low numbers of vaccinated) helped India get over this wave.

Less than 15% of India is fully vaccinated and about 50% has had 1 shot.

That's pretty crazy, considering they are fast approaching 1 billion vaccinations.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

That's pretty crazy, considering they are fast approaching 1 billion vaccinations.

with a population of 1.4 billion...

That means a vax of over 70%...

In his significant wisdom, the good lord has decided to bless my twitter timeline with IVM, Hydroxy, Azithromyacin, OrthoMune, Regeneron and Laura Loomer content this morning.

How it started:

How it's going:

For folks who might not know who Laura is...

She's a "proud Islamophobe" bigot who's been banned for hateful conduct by Uber, Lyft, PayPal, Venmo, GoFundMe, Medium, Clubhouse, Fakebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Here's that one time she handcuffed herself to twitter to get her blue check-mark back...

And here's that other time she and Jacob Wohl live-streamed their *spectacular* failure to prove an Ilhan Omar conspiracy...

Jacob is facing felony election fraud charges in multiple states, and Laura is running for a seat in Congress in Florida’s 11th Congressional District... because of course she is.

 

[tetrasect]

with a population of 1.4 billion...

That's the total number of shots, first and second.

 

[Seven_Nine_Eight]

That's pretty crazy, considering they are fast approaching 1 billion vaccinations.

And rising fast:
