Happy birthday Will!!
Thanks thinki. What is this āhard-onā that you speak of?
Good morning, Will. Iāve been reading the news this morning and I happened onto something the FDA has put out. I would like to know what ypu think about the FDA and if they are trustworthy.
Actually, anyone. I would like to know about the FDA.
Thank you Dan. Iāve been in password hell for 45 minutes.
itās a government beaurocracy. I donāt think they are evil, just bumbling. the postmaster general is evil.
Understandable.
Ivermectin is a well-known medicine that is approved as an antiparasitic by the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration. It is widely used in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to treat worm infections.2,3 Also used for the treatment of scabies and lice, it is one of the World Health Organizationās Essential Medicines.4 With total doses of ivermectin distributed apparently equaling one-third of the present world population,5 ivermectin at the usual doses (0.2ā0.4 mg/kg) is considered extremely safe for use in humans.6,7 In addition to its antiparasitic activity, it has been noted to have antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, leading to an increasing list of therapeutic indications.
We extracted information or data on study design (including methods, location, sites, funding, study author declaration of interests, and inclusion/exclusion criteria), setting, participant characteristics (disease severity, age, gender, comorbidities, smoking, and occupational risk), and intervention and comparator characteristics (dose and frequency of ivermectin/comparator). The primary outcome for the intervention component of the review included death from any cause and presence of COVID-19 infection (as defined by investigators) for ivermectin prophylaxis. Secondary outcomes included time to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negativity, clinical recovery, length of hospital stay, admission to hospital (for outpatient treatment), admission to ICU or requiring mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, and severe or serious adverse events, as well as post hoc assessments of improvement and deterioration. All of these data were extracted as measured and reported by investigators. Numerical data for outcomes of interest were extracted according to intention to treat.
If there was a conflict between data reported across multiple sources for a single study (eg, between a published article and a trial registry record), we contacted the authors for clarification. Assessments were conducted by 2 reviewers (T.L., T.D., A.B., or G.G.) using the Cochrane RCT risk-of-bias tool.27 Discrepancies were resolved by discussion.
Continuous outcomes were measured as the mean difference and 95% confidence intervalss (CI), and dichotomous outcomes as risk ratio (RR) and 95% CI.
From the FDA:
Using any treatment for COVID-19 thatās not approved or authorized by the FDA, unless part of a clinical trial, can cause serious harm.
- FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).*
Here is what bothers me. I donāt like being slave to the FDA. If they donāt approve Ivermectin, we canāt use it properly, unless we use it illegally, because they didnāt ārecommendā it. Let me correct thatā¦They didnāt āapproveā it. Thereās a difference.
people should be free to decide for themselves that they are smarter than, say, a doctor or a scientist
People should, absolutely, be free to choose what method they trust for treatment. So why do we conform to the will of the FDA?

our cities are burning to the ground
Were you called to be a slave?
The Bible says:
For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lordās freedman. Likewise, the one who was called while free is Messiahās slave.
1 Cor 7:22
So if you are not in Christ, why are you still a slave?
our cities are burning to the ground
No theyāre not.
are cities our burning to the ground?
Yours is.
