    A claim that each area of India had had a literal handfull (3? Really?) of deaths and few hundred COVID cases are beyond ridiculous!

    What is fake about it?

    I see they have stopped it (some time in June). I am curious about why though.

    Those are daily numbers, not total. You can check at world-o-meter and see for yourself.

    It's getting late here. I need you to add some more word to that reply. You are saying Ivermectin didn't stop the spread in India. What is it you think accounts for that?

    Ivermectin is used after you already have the disease, it's not used to stop the spread

    OK. So, your understanding is that it does help with the virus but not as a preventative (prophylactic). Am I understanding you correctly?

    I'll finish watching it in a bit. Thanks for the time stamp.

    I just found this. I have never heard of this alliance so I need to backtrack it to determine credibility. I tend to stay away from horrible news. I see enough of it on this forum.

    I am not making the claim it does help, but some say it does, if I got it, I would want what Trump had personally

    Are you a friend of his?

    They seem to skip over the fact the average person doesn't have access to the top notch treatments.

    oh, I agree, be harder for us to get what Trump got, if we even could, but that is what I would want

    but I got the vaccine, so my chances of needing it are slim anyways

    I don't recall if you were in the thread where I posted this but here is part of it again. I think Trump bought 300K doses late last year. Since then, the US has bought 1.5M (IIRC).

    DeSantis is trying to woo Trump supporters (his COVID response is why he wasn't re-elected so it's a stupid strategy).

    DeSantis, faced with covid surge, urges Floridians to use Regeneron antibody treatment given to Trump

    That is not what several tests using Ivermectin as prophylaxis showed. Around the world including the US, Ivermectin used as prophylaxis in those working with the infected was 100% successful in at least 2 cases, maybe 3.

    I have a theory: Eating horsesht from a horse treated with Ivermectin, provides far more protection against Covid than Ivermectin alone.

    My theoretical evidence shows the more you eat, the more protection you get!

    for those thinking they can just buy this Horse deworming tablet, careful

    "Ivermectin: Horse deworming tablets dangerous for humans and not approved COVID-19 treatment"

    https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavir...r-humans-and-not-approved-covid-19-treatment/

    "The FDA and several state officials say they’ve seen an uptick in calamitous use of the drugs, particularly tablets used to treat parasitic worms in horses. While ivermectin is approved for humans to treat certain skin conditions (rosacea) and certain external parasites like head lice, the FDA warns this ivermectin is different than the one used in animals."

    Trump got booed for recommending people take the vaccine, glad he did it though, but, they won't even listen to Trump at this point it seems

    "Crowd boos Donald Trump when he recommends taking COVID vaccines"

    https://fox8.com/news/alabama-crowd-boos-donald-trump-when-he-recommends-taking-covid-vaccines/

    "“And you know what?” Trump said. “I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You’ve got to do what you have to do. But I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.”"

    he tried to take credit for creating the vaccine, but still at least he told them to take it

    They will take horse pills but reject a vaccine approved by the FDA.

    I hear it works best if you eat horsesht while shining a light up your butt and injecting bleach.

    The simple explanations are so often the truth - India is approaching herd immunity via infection. No one familiar with India (and I work with a number of Indians) would be remotely surprised that official testing figures and death figures existed in a different universe to actual figures.

    The funny/sad thing is that the people who refuse to believe figures in western nations with advanced healthcare systems & the ability to test widely will treat as fact figures from a nation with close to nonexistent infrastructure in many places and poor systems for recording even basic data.
