Lmao!! Kyrie and Gruden!! The new right wing hero duo!!Comment -
Be careful here, don't assume causality.
The claim the Uttar Pradesh is 100% COVID free because of ivermectin use is not accurate as is, not really supported.They don't even know that there was in increase in use when it was recommended. It's not even 100% COVID free...lol.
They were in complete lockdown for a long time. There were many previous infections, vaccinations, testing etc.
Let's not make assumptions here and pretend like a gov't recommendations were the cause. That just doesn't pass the smell test. There was a lot at play there.
A lot of people in Uttar Pradesh have antibodies and the seropsotifvity rate is over 70%.
They didn't get that from Ivermectin.Comment -
Just one peer reviewed study that shows ANY effect in humans against ANY sort of virus is what you need.
No brand name or generic manufacturer has sponsored a study as they know it's not an anti-viral.
I don't think anyone who makes or sells this says they think it works against viruses??
It's been a long time. Why has nobody who champions this organized a scientific study to prove the efficacy?
Plus, who needs Ivermectin in the USA now anyway? multiple proven treatments are coming on the market one after the other right now..Comment -

Vitterd want me to get you a maga hat?Comment -
Liberals only bitch about the white republican anti vaxxers. Kyrie on the other hand doesn’t want the vaccine and he is a hero to these idiots because he is standing up for what he believes…can’t make this shit upComment -
Say what? Most people know that Kyrie is a dumb ass. People on the left, right and middle all agree he is fukked up in the head. All of a sudden, the Jibbby's, Demons and Duhwhites of SBR all have come to Kyrie's defense. Demon is starting a GoFundMe for Kyrie since he's out of a job. He's also staging a Proud Boys march for Kyrie too. Demon loves to protest, when he's not cowering in his trailer cashing unemployment checks.Comment -
It doesn't matter you complete dumb shit.
There are far more people living in blue states than red states, so if neither party campaigns in states that aren't swing states of course the left will win the popular vote almost every presidential election.
Hard to believe anyone could be this dumb.Comment -
I got the first shot but I refuse to get the 2nd
anybody else only get 1 shot?Comment -
How long were you sick after getting the shot? Did you miss work? Did you talk to a doctor? It's very unusual to have that reaction but I'd be hesitant to take the 2nd shot as well. 1 shot is probably enough protection anyway.
Most employers would be at a huge risk to let you go because you were sick from getting vaccinated. Major lawsuit IMO.Comment -
My household has been 100 percent Covid-free since Day 1. I guess I should promote the theory that gin and olives are the way to go.Comment -
No evidence suggests a causal link between Ivermectin recommendation and the decline of COVID-19 cases in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh
As ICMR Revises COVID Guidelines, India Can Exit the Thrall of Ivermectin, HCQConclusion
The claim that Uttar Pradesh is now COVID-19 free due to the use of Ivermectin is inaccurate and unsupported by scientific evidence. Uttar Pradesh isn’t entirely free of COVID-19, and comparisons with other states are challenging due to differences in testing capacity. Furthermore, many factors other than Ivermectin use could have influenced the course of the second COVID-19 wave in Uttar Pradesh, including restrictions and immunity from previous infection and vaccination.
In addition, the quality of evidence supporting Ivermectin use in COVID-19 patients is very low. For this reason, public health authorities don’t recommend the use of Ivermectin for preventing or treating COVID-19 outside of clinical trials. Given all these uncertainties, we can’t determine whether Ivermectin played any role at all in the decline of COVID-19 cases in Uttar Pradesh.
Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid 'miracle' drugOn September 23, India’s apex medical research body, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), revised its ‘Clinical Guidelines’ for COVID-19. Specifically, it removed mention of two drugs that a panoply of experts and non-experts had widely used and promoted both in India and worldwide, and which had also been ceaseless sources of controversy: ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
The previous version of the national COVID-19 treatment protocols, dated May 17, 2021 (the one from which ICMR dropped the use of convalescent plasma) suggested that ivermectin and HCQ “may” be used despite “a low certainty of the evidence”. This feeble cautionary note did nothing to dampen the ill-founded enthusiasm for the use and promotion of both drugs.
With the new revision, ICMR – and India – are now in line with accepted good practice vis-à-vis managing COVID-19, at least on the count of these two drugs. The guidelines of the US National Institutes of Health, the UK National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), and the WHO all negatively recommend ivermectin and HCQ.
In addition, both the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency have said that ivermectin is not an antiviral drug, much less an anti-COVID drug.
But within India, the consensus hasn’t been so well-defined, and the official treatment recommendations themselves have been polarising. India Today reported as far back as June 7 that the Directorate General of Health Services, a body under the Union health ministry, had dropped ivermectin and doxycycline – a broad-spectrum antibiotic – from its recommendation. But some news reports also suggested that Indian government experts and advisers were still debating among themselves as to whether ivermectin should be used.
This may explain why ICMR took so long to come around and exclude ivermectin from the guidelines – more so since it is well-known today that ICMR also deferred to political interests through the length of the pandemic.Comment
