{COVID-19} Ivermectin Adult Chewables VII

[Tyrath]

I assume it's the same way having asthma "enhances" COVID. I don't get what is hard to get about this. COVID seems to ravage people who already have other medical conditions.

[NynJa]

So then back to the original questions instead of stanning Milkster's dumbass attempt to dunk on me which failed miserably.

So how does that all tie in? Do parasitic worms enhance covid? Or does the body focus on eliminating the parasite over the virus, and once the parasite is gone, the body can focus on the virus?

Or, devils advocate, the experts havent tested ivermectin in the western world because its not financially profitable to do so? Are they discrediting third world studies because theyre third world?

Numbers as of February 1, 2021. The vaccine hasnt made its way into many people at this point, but it was starting to become readily available. Based on google trends, Ivermectin was considered in third world countries, not much steam in USA until July/Aug.
Total Cases in the USA: 27,066,352
Deaths: 470,899
1.73% Death rate

Countries named in the report: Bangladesh, East India (not a country, but India is), Colombia
Using the same Feb 1, 2021 date
Bangladesh cases, deaths, percentage: 535582, 8137, 1.52%
India: 10767206, 155614, 1.45%
Colombia: 2104506, 54272, 2.58%

So Bangladesh and India had a better survival rate compared to USA at that time. Colombia was significantly worse, who knows why, but it cant just be "due to parasitic worms in general". Maybe the parasites in Colombia are worse, idk. How did people living in countries with a better survival rate to covid compared to USA, despite the high risk of parasitic worms as the article is pointing out, show improvement taking ivermectin?

[kuronosan]

They didn't.

[NynJa]

So the "most impressive" studies are fake news and false, got it.

[kuronosan]

Errr, no. There's a difference between relative values, statistical, and clinical significance. We've gone over this before.

[Tyrath]

Someone do some charts

[NynJa]

Well archi's excerpt from the article seemed to strongly indicate that the parasitic worms were strongly survival rate. Milkster's attempt to dunk also strongly indicated that the parasitic worms affected survival rate. Yet the survival rate of covid in two of the three referenced parasitic worm breeding ground countries had a better survival rate to covid compared to first world USA. The numbers I used are right there, I picked them from worldometers.info.

Maybe I stumbled on a poor date to reference? Or maybe USA is just as third world as those other countries.

Canada, Feb 1, 2021, total cases, total deaths, percentage: 783589, 20136, 2.57%

Oof, I shouldnt have gone there I'm in the third world country.

You’re ignoring other contributing factors, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease being much more common in USA. All of which, you know, contribute to increased mortality. Those aren’t as common in third-world countries, and in most other countries insulin is a lot more affordable.

Health care as a whole is more affordable in most countries, which contribute to generally worse health among the poor in the U.S as they are the ones with generally unhealthy life styles, too, which leads to worse COVID outcomes.

So its because americans are fat, thats why their numbers were the same as those parasite worm infested third world countries. Why was Canada so high with their to-date death rate, almost as high as Colombia? Canada has a slightly better obesity rate than USA (29.40% vs 36.20%).

[kuronosan]

Because it's not even a real country anyway.

[Tyche]

This is an important bit too...If you're not testing for worms in areas with high worm infection rates, and giving corticosteroids (decadron), you're going to have a bad time.

The most relevant species of worm here is the roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis. Among the commonest treatments for COVID-19 is corticosteroids, a type of immunosuppresant drug. The types of immune responses it suppresses do more harm than good in coronavirus, so turning them off limits collateral damage and makes patients better on net. But these are also the types of immune responses that control Strongyloides. If you turn them off even very briefly, the worms multiply out of control, you get what’s called “Strongyloides hyperinfection”, and pretty often you die.

Got boosted today. No appointment needed. Just had to bring your vaccination card, fill out the same form as before and your good.

Very few people in line. Figures. I had looked it up before and STILL only 51% of people 16 and up in my county have even gotten the first shot.

FL Governor DeSantis speaking today about his lawsuit challenging COVID workplace mandates, and he chose to hold the press conference in Brandon, FL…that’s the kind of nuance from someone just as petty but more intelligent than Trump. 2024 gonna be fun.

Pfizer made their own ivermectin finally

[Day]

10 million pills for 5 billion dollars lmao

[NynJa]

Lots of comments about people complaining about $500 / pill (which, yeah it is ridiculous)...but these same "follow the money" idiots turn a blind eye to doctors charging $500++ a head for fake vaccine credentials.

they out here getting thier shkreli on

[mallister]

$500 is cheap as fuck if it keeps your dumb ass out of the ICU.
