A private hospital in Durban is under police investigation after allegations the outlawed drug Ivermectin was dispensed at the facility.

Ivermectin, which was hailed as a revolutionary drug in the 1980s and works by paralysing and killing parasites in livestock, has been gaining traction as a “miracle cure” for Covid-19 patients.

Some experts suggest that in patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus, the drug inhibits viral loads and keeps those with early Covid-19 symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even helps critically ill patients recover. Co-chair of the ministerial advisory committee Prof Salim Abdool Karim said in an interview with eNCA he did not support the use of Ivermectin at this time.

If only they could act that fast to catch out drug dealers 🤷‍♂️

It is all about money!!!!!!

big pharm conspiracy, no?

I think the key thing here is did it work

Seems government is reluctant on running trials for this drug against covid. It can either mean they being ignorant and wanna be lead by people from the outside who want to enrich themselves or they just wanna see innocent people dying.

PresidencyZA DrZweliMkhize Fuck ANC govt bloody captured assholes if health institutions and doctors believe it works and prevents more deaths use it .

Ok...now report if it worked effectively?

this very same hospital in question saved my life even if they are guilty of this it can only be because they care for the patients well being and if they know something that Gov dont want to explore/acknowledge then the real criminal here is the state so VoetsekANC

The government and Bill Gates dont want people cured, they want people to buy vaccines

Amazing personality with great leadership qualities chris_grey2 I believed in him and success followed. Initially I deposited $700 and in a couple of days I got $3,500. His credibility can’t be overlooked.

The ones outlawing this drug should be investigated.

Should be given a medal for saving lives

Maybe it helped to save lives. Will they then still prosecute those administering it in desperation?

Still don't understand why this drug is banned. Growing body of evidence suggests it's very helpful in the treatment of covid19 It's a drug that has been used safely in humans for years...so why?

It's only illegal in SA cause big drug companies doesn't want a cure for Covid. They're making millions from this disease

Did it kill anyone? I guess NO Did it help someone? I believe YES but it is claimed illigal.
