We've danced this dance before, Wendy and I. Too too many times.
Hey @numbah_6! It’s a day that ends with a Y so guess what @WendyBellPgh was doing over on @Facebook. You got it! Lying about Covid!

...when he came out and said that his doctor had prescribed for him Ivermectin -
You know. That safe therapeutic that we all have been talking about? That Dr Fauci and others have been besmirching?
Because you know as well as I that good health is not profitable. It is the drug dependency that is.
So if there is something that is safe for pregnant people, children, the elderly the sick and it costs pennies to give to people -
You know the same therapeutic that was used in that state in India (population 245 million) where the Indian government decided to go door to door, knocking on people's doors, testing them on the spot for Covid and people who had it were given a medical kit. Inside the medical kit, a bunch of different things – among those things, Ivermectin.
Cases of Covid and deaths went to zero.
It's amazing how that works.
It's amazing that Uttar Pradesh can get with the program of preventative medicine that we know is safe and effective and yet here in the United States, we're not allowed to have that.
Here in the United States we have the great privilege of paying the greatest pharmaceutical markup on planet Earth.
Ermagerd, there's so much wrong with this.
Let's start with the big one - something I blogged about only eleven days ago:
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Task Force on Covid-19 have dropped the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drugs from their revised guidelines for the treatment of the infection.
The decision was taken after experts found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient.
And this has been the case in India since September 23.
How did you miss that, Wendy? It was published right there at the India Today on September 26 of this year. That means it's been posted online for about a month, right?
And yet you missed it, didn't you?
Or did you just decide not to let anyone know the truth?
Your old friends at Health Feedback have also debunked this specific claim about Uttar Pradesh, haven't they Wendy?
10 days ago on October 12:
From the text:
The claim that Uttar Pradesh is now COVID-19 free due to the use of ivermectin is inaccurate and unsupported by scientific evidence. Uttar Pradesh isn’t entirely free of COVID-19, and comparisons with other states are challenging due to differences in testing capacity. Furthermore, many factors other than ivermectin use could have influenced the course of the second COVID-19 wave in Uttar Pradesh, including restrictions and immunity from previous infection and vaccination.
In addition, the quality of evidence supporting ivermectin use in COVID-19 patients is very low. For this reason, public health authorities don’t recommend the use of ivermectin for preventing or treating COVID-19 outside of clinical trials. Given all these uncertainties, we can’t determine whether ivermectin played any role at all in the decline of COVID-19 cases in Uttar Pradesh.
Isn't there someone in your inner circle of family/friends who's a medical expert, Wendy? Someone you could use as maybe I dunno, some sort of intellectual tool to dig through all this medicalese?
