How a false science ‘cure’ became Australia’s contribution to the pandemic

When veteran scientist Craig Rayner saw Australian laboratory results had been published that suggested the drug ivermectin could potentially fight COVID-19, he felt a sense of dread.

journal and announced in a press release titled “Lab experiments show anti-parasitic drug ivermectin eliminates SARS-Cov-2 in cells in 48 hours”. Ivermectin was safe, widely used and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, the press release said. And it could potentially be used to fight COVID-19.“It was incredibly hyped,” Dr Rayner said. “I knew it was going to start a fire.

The clip was viewed over a million times, according to the Associated Press, before YouTube took it down – which only served to raise its profile. Conservative commentators cried censorship, anti-vaccination activists co-opted the drug for their purposes and ivermectin prescriptions surged by 2400 per cent over the pre-pandemic weekly average in the United States. In South Africa, a black market developed.

Last month, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration banned the off-label prescribing of ivermectin, citing the public health risk and national shortages created by a three- to four-fold increase in prescriptions.

HatAlexander Fake News !!!!

HatAlexander Even the retracted fraud studies showed less efficacy than the vaccines. It is essentially a placebo tablet at a greater dose than currently approved so it is not without risks. If you are happy with that, why stand in your way.

HatAlexander Is the new Merck Covid-19 antiviral drug Molnupiravir the same as Ivermectin?

HatAlexander Still bashing Ivermectin despite positive results in studies globally. Nice move. 🙄

HatAlexander True ,

HatAlexander Again, Fake News

HatAlexander Ivermectin 5000 side effects since 1975 verses COVIDVaccine over 2,000,000 side effects reported in less than a year… Ivermectin = natural immunity verses covidjab less than six month immunity plus boosters 🤔

HatAlexander If you’d like to see the peer reviewed studies showing Ivermectin works, I’ll hook you up 😉

HatAlexander Human Ivermectin has been around since 1975. Billions of dose administered over the years with slightly above 5000 side effects reported. Least dangerous drug known. It’s effective because anti viral properties. If you need a good investigative journalist I’m here 😉

HatAlexander Israel defines two jabs not fully vaccinated! Fully vaccinated are still infectious and could be infected! Forcing chemotherapy in advance to prevent death from cancer! Die of chemotherapy prior to cancer. Vaccine is the door to modern slavery, mass surveillance and depopulation

HatAlexander You keep downplaying it, we keep taking it and we are recovering at higher rates then those who are not taking it. Ivermectin

HatAlexander 'people are using a veterinary medicine' - WRONG. Americans have been using ivermectin for over 40years, approved by the FDA for human use. There is ivermectin for animals and ivermectin for human use.

HatAlexander 5 antiviral drugs for treatment of Covid 19 Antiviral treatments that can be taken at home to keep people with COVID-19 out of the hospital are critically needed.

HatAlexander Yet so many countries including the US have used ivermectin to treat those with Covid-19 successfully. If there was evidence that it worked these governments wouldn’t be allowed to push these vaccines that also are ineffective.

HatAlexander Absolute nonsense!! 😡🤣

HatAlexander The most bizarre thing is that there are several remedies commonly available for 'respiratory tract infections' that suit the critical burning chest + other Covid symptoms, incl naturopathic, etc. Authorities worldwide have ignored all of them... WHY? Covid does need treatment...

Australia in fastest-growing region: IMFThe International Monetary Fund has downgraded its growth forecast for the Asia-Pacific region, but it will still be the fastest growing area in the world. only in terms of population to appease the parasite rent -seekers, ie on a per capita basis still going nowhere bill_dobell Australia may do just that. But, it has been proven that when a Country locks down and then opens up the virus has a field day. Good luck. TL;DR Australia would continues to tighten the noose around her neck with more dependence on exporting goods to China. I guess once you have a taste of China, you would want more.
