Since the new corona pneumonia originated in early last year and spread to the world, the wave after wave of epidemics, one virus variant after another, have followed. This is not only a major threat to human livelihoods, but a serious challenge to modern civilization. The success of the rapid development of the new corona vaccine has provided us with a weapon against the virus. There is no objection, a good vaccine can at least reduce the harm of the virus to the human body, which is manifested in a significant reduction in the hospitalization rate and mortality rate of patients. But the facts also show that it is impossible to defeat the new crown virus with a vaccine alone.
This is not a new concept, and the “flu” vaccine that many people get every year does not guarantee that they will not get the flu. As far as the new crown vaccine is concerned, there is also a prominent problem, that is, the continuous and rapid mutation of the virus has greatly reduced the efficiency of the existing vaccine within a few months.
Therefore, in addition to prevention, people need more methods of treatment. As we all know, the first common measure that can be taken to deal with a fever is to take antipyretics (such as aspirin). Suppose someone tells you that this medicine cannot be used because it has dozens of side effects, and an overdose can be life-threatening; or that this medicine cannot be used because it was invented more than 100 years ago without random control. (RCT) clinical trials, you must think this person is neurological.
But this kind of thing is happening when the new crown pneumonia is spreading. In two episodes of last April and August last year, I gave a detailed discussion on the fate of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the United States, the FDA’s restrictions on it, and even the consequences of its ban, repeated. For more than a year, some knowledgeable doctors have continued to try to prescribe, and some astute researchers have continued to conduct clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine to further verify its safety and effectiveness; The ban of chloroquine negated the effect of the drug, so the possible positive effect of hydroxychloroquine on the epidemic as a whole gave a big discount.
Coincidentally, I don’t know if it is God’s arrangement, hydroxychloroquine is not the only common medicine for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia. It was soon discovered that Ivermectin, an old drug for treating parasitic diseases, also had excellent curative effect on new coronary pneumonia.
Last year, Dr. George Fareed, who practiced in California’s Imperial Valley, used ivermectin to save nearly 6,000 COVID-19 patients. On November 19, he and two other well-known medical scientists, Professor Peter McCullough of the University of Texas School of Medicine, and Professor Harvey Risch of Yale University Medicine testified in the US Senate, recommending the early use of ivermella. The US medical authorities turned a deaf ear to the treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
Another American doctor, Pierre Kory, who has studied the voluminous data on ivermectin for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, reiterated the request on December 8 last year. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) upgraded its guidance from “against ivermectin” to “neutral,” meaning neither support nor opposition. But the FDA still maintains its “no” stance. At the time, a conservative estimate of 300,000 American lives could have been saved if the FDA had provided an emergency use authorization.
Some people will say that saving 300,000 lives is your imagination. What is the basis? Can the experience of a clinic, a paper, be extrapolated to the entire United States? Look, then, what happened next in India this spring and summer is an indisputable illustration of that. Let’s talk about it in detail as follows.
In March 2021, the Delta variant of the new coronavirus broke out in India, and the total cases still active in India by the end of April surged nearly twentyfold to 3.6 million, with daily new cases reaching 400,000 and daily deaths exceeding 4 thousand. India is in a serious crisis.
Representatives who specialize in the clinical application of ivermectin and try their best to recommend its use are, in addition to the aforementioned American doctor Corey, and British female researcher Theresa Lawrie. They have published high-quality meta-analysis papers summarizing the results of numerous published clinical trials supporting the safety and efficacy of ivermectin. Another person who played an organizational and public relations role was an MD under the pseudonym Justice Hope. In order to spread the information effectively, he wrote a book “Ivermectin for the World”. After America hit a snag, they put their hopes on India, and this time they were not disappointed.
They reached a consensus with the medical management department of the Indian government. On April 22, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) added ivermectin to the treatment regimen as an early stage of new coronary pneumonia. An option for treatment, including the mildest cases.
The Indian government is distributing a home kit to residents in the outbreak area, which contains ivermectin tablets, doxycycline, zinc, vitamin D3 and more. Other non-drug components include masks, disinfectants, gloves, alcohol wipes, digital thermometers and pulse oximeters.
So, something amazing happened. The number of new cases in Delta in India fell off a cliff. Five weeks later, the number of deaths in some places was almost zero.
Two figures for August 5, 2021, are particularly telling:
(1) Comparison of India’s largest state of Uttar Pradesh (population 240 million) and the United States (population 330 million):
In the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which uses ivermectin, the vaccination rate was only 4.9%, but the daily number of new cases fell to 26 and the daily death toll fell to 3.
The United States, where ivermectin is banned, has 127,108 new daily cases and 574 daily deaths, despite 50.5% being fully vaccinated.
(2) Tamil Nadu in southeastern India (population 78.8 million), 6.9% of people have been fully vaccinated. The state’s ruling leftist government rejected ivermectin and instead followed the US’s lead and used Remdesivir. 1,997 daily cases; 33 daily deaths. By the way, the U.S. price of Remdesivir is $3,000.
A data on August 15 this year is also very telling. Kerala, in southwestern India, is a small state with a population of only 30 million. It accounts for 18,000 of the 32,000 new cases in India; it accounts for 102 of the 417 new deaths in India. In contrast, Delhi, which has a population of nearly the same size but uses ivermectin, recorded only 53 new cases and zero deaths. Kerala had the fifth-highest vaccination rate in India, but it started by restricting ivermectin to critically ill patients, and by August Kerala had stopped ivermectin entirely.
Having said that, it is inevitable that some people will doubt that India’s data and conclusions are reliable? It is impossible to do a detailed analysis here, and I can only list a few main reasons to support its credibility.
- The basic method of statistics is to infer from the sample to the mother. FDA’s clinical trials are based on hundreds to thousands of cases to infer the effect of drugs on hundreds of millions of people; while India’s data is directly from hundreds of millions of people, where the sample is the mother, and its inherent reliability cannot be added.
- The ultimate measure of the effect of the drug here is “mortality”, which is impossible to fake on a large scale. Although India is generally not rich, it is still a democratic and transparent society.
- The difference is too great. The decline in cases in India is not a few percent, a dozen, twenty, but ninety. The death rate in the United States is not one or two times higher than in Uttar Pradesh, but hundreds of times higher. This completely overwhelms statistical and computational errors that can occur.
But the left-wing media couldn’t understand what was going on, the New York Times said the sharp drop in cases in India was for no apparent reason, and the BBC said the high number of cases in Kerala was unbelievable. In fact, the reason is as obvious as the nose on a person’s face. The big leftist media can’t see that his eyesight and IQ are really bad. Conclusions It is clear that ivermectin can compensate for low vaccination rates; however, vaccination does not compensate for low ivermectin usage.
Ivermectin will save more lives with lower risk and lower cost, it saved India, why not the world?
A life-or-death event in India that, in the previous period, was rarely heard in the United States. The left-wing bureaucracy and the left-wing media are in a state of misery, doing their best to block, distort, and block them. The use of ivermectin was carried out with the knowledge of the World Health Organization (WHO), and the CDC in the United States could not be unaware of the progress of the matter. They deliberately concealed it. NPR, the national public broadcaster in the United States, distorts the epidemic in India. It is a government-run news organization. It will not talk about it when it sees the face of the Biden administration. But Wikipedia is not government-run, and it refuses to include articles by Corey and Laurie. Isn’t it too much?
What is being heard in the American media now is the Biden administration’s increasingly strict “mandatory vaccination” executive order, as well as Merck’s new oral drug for new coronary pneumonia – Molnupiravir. The drug is reported to have cut hospitalizations and mortality in half, which should be welcome; but think again, with the hundreds of millions in India as an example, isn’t ivermectin much more efficient, and it only takes a few And monapilavir, a course of ten pills, sells for $700, and American taxpayers are slashed again.
This is the absurdity of medicine in America right now. On the one hand, there are pedantic, unrealistic, and extremely arrogant technocrats, such as Fauci, who stick to the rules of management. A non-eight-legged essay is not an article, and a drug that is not a randomized controlled trial is not a drug. The important reason is to show that they are empowered; on the other hand, some big pharmaceutical companies, who only want to make money, just take advantage of the loopholes. In the name of developing drugs in compliance with laws and regulations, changing ways and doing tricks is nothing more than for profit and money. Collusion between officials and businessmen, doing immoral things, and disregarding the lives of the common people, there are in China and in the United States. In short, the Evil is samely always bad all over the world.
To the conclusion, the “roller coaster” experience of the ancient civilization of India in fighting against the new crown pneumonia, we can understand not only professional and technical issues in medical treatment, but also a deeper political ecology and philosophy. From the dark side and the serious side of the matter, some knowledgeable and conscientious experts and scholars in the medical field have been silenced on their own professional issues. They are not yet different “political” people, just different “academic” opinions.
In the United States, which is controlled by the left, even academic contention is not allowed. Western civilization has regressed to such a sad point that it makes people sigh and sigh. Both YouTube and Wikipedia have classified ivermectin as a “heretic heresy”, which is reminiscent of Galileo.
Dr. Hope Justice noted, “Just as Galileo used his telescope to prove in 1616 that the earth is not the center of the universe; today, data from India show that ivermectin is not only effective, but far more effective than a vaccine. It not only prevents death , also prevents infection with COVID, including Delta variants.” That year, Galileo proved that the Earth is not the center of the universe—a fact that the Catholic Church does not allow. Today, ivermectin has seen a dramatic drop in cases and deaths in India, proving the drug’s effectiveness — a fact that a Biden administration cannot allow because it would jeopardize his vaccine policy and make him lose control of the people .
The entire modern civilization of the West started from the Enlightenment movement to get rid of the ignorance and barbarism of the Middle Ages and create a modern society. The current ultra-left “postmodernism” trend of thought wants to “cancel” all the rationality and individuality in the Western tradition. In fact, it wants to retrograde civilization to the historical, pre-modern “dark period”. The seriousness of this incident in history cannot be overstated.
But history has its bright side. In India, the world’s most populous democracy, freedom has not yet been stifled, nor the conscience of the medical establishment. In the face of a major crisis, the medical staff in Uttar Pradesh, India, on the front line, resolutely withstood the bureaucrats from the WHO who only talked about military affairs and banned the use of ivermectin “instructions”; conservative India The federal government’s medical management department still learned the correct advice, made a wise decision, and successfully organized a “disaster-resistance campaign”.
As the saying goes, paper cannot hold fire, and leftist media are not monolithic and static.
On August 6 this year, Western media, including Microsoft News MSN, finally acknowledged the contents of these Uttar Pradesh kits, the main drug of which is ivermectin.
On September 22, YouTube broadcast a video of British popular science blogger Dr. John Campbell, detailing the success story of using ivermectin in Uttar Pradesh to fight the epidemic.
The WHO had promised in an article on May 7 this year that it would support the Uttar Pradesh government in preparing the final report. But so far, we have not seen the official endorsement of WHO. Will the World Health Organization really abandon political prejudice, respect facts, put the safety of the world’s people first, and truly support the shocking report of Uttar Pradesh in India? People are getting keep the eyes on.
