I feel for you …..

Have you had COVID?

Vaxed? Boosted?

Her smell is “acrid”…..chemical / sour. It’s horrible. We called ENT Dr. and he said they’d re hearing more of this. She is going in for an appointment.

I hope it gets better for you.

Yes, had Covid. TOTAL loss of taste/smell for about a month. Vaxxed but not boosted. Taste is pretty normal but smell is still a little altered.

Study after study says it’s cheap, safe and effective. Anyone trying to prevent people from using it is evil.

Lol, you crack me up. You post an article that needed to be corrected and got all defensive, that wasn’t me telling you not to take it. Take all the ivermectin you want, I don’t care.

They really have not shown it's effective. I don't think anyone should be prevented from using it if they choose but as of now the successes are mainly anecdotal. Real studies should have been done much earlier though

If anyone is feeling depressed or suicidal after having Covid or knows of someone, this is important.


Covid psychosis: Understanding how the virus can hijack the brain | WGN-TV

Doctors are beginning to understand how coronavirus can negatively impact the brain.

Just hours after Ben’s suicide, a friend mentioned Covid psychosis and sent Jennifer articles about the condition.

“Immediately upon reading them, I knew exactly that’s what he had experienced,” Price said.

The mother of Maya and Jett says her husband of 23 years had never suffered from mental illness, depression, or anxiety before getting infected. And the couple had always faced life’s challenges together, she says they were ‘unbreakable.’

The omicron subvariant is more contagious, but vaccinated people are less likely to spread it, study finds


https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/31/the...are-less-likely-to-spread-it-study-finds.html

Excerpt:

Transmission rates among unvaccinated people were higher with BA.2 compared to BA.1, indicating unvaccinated people were carrying a higher viral load with BA.2. Although fully vaccinated people are more likely to catch BA.2 than the previous strain, they are less likely to spread it to others, researchers found.​
People who received a booster were even less likely to transmit the virus than people who were fully vaccinated.​
“This indicates that after a breakthrough infection, vaccination protects against further transmission, and more so for BA.2 than BA.1,” the scientists found.​
The study also noted that the higher susceptibility to infection and greater transmissibility of BA.2 will likely result in more extensive spread of the virus among unvaccinated kids in schools and day care.​

This clearly states that the trial validates anecdotal data.

Ivermectin Prophylaxis Used for COVID-19: A Citywide, Prospective, Observational Study of 223,128 Subjects Using Propensity Score Matching
Click to expand...
This study is a great example of how bad some of these clinical trials that claim ivermectin works actually are. For example
1. this is a poorly designed study that as a prophylaxis study doesn’t report things like risk of exposure, adherence to medication, time from treatment to exposure and other things you want to see in a clinical trial looking at a prophylaxis.

2. How they conducted propensity matching is kinda screwed up. Highly doubt they got that many people to match based on criteria they give

3.treatment with ivermectin was actually prevented once someone got covid yet they are reporting outcomes with treatment. It was allowed in the control group and about 80% died who were hospitalized. Strange.

4. Authors kept on changing their paper multiple times until published. Infection rates jumped from 9% to 44% after deciding to add a few hundred people to the study. Definitely a red flag. Can see the original paper here.

5. authors report they receive salaries from a drug company that make ivermectin but state that this isn’t a conflict of interest.🤔

6. one of the authors is under investigation in brazil for killing people in a clinical trial.
Covid-19: Trial of experimental “covid cure” is among worst medical ethics violations in Brazil’s history, says regulator

7. But what really confirms this is a fraudulent study is a news report from the mayor’s office during the study reports only a little more than 8000 people actually ended up picking up their ivermectin after 1.5 months.

Nota de esclarecimento tratamentos profiláticos | Município de Itajaí
“138216 residents took the first dose. Fifteen days later that number dropped to 93970 people who took the second and third doses. Subsequently, only 8,312 people withdrew the fourth and fifth doses. That is there was no biweekly continuity of the use of ivermectin, as recommended”

Sadly there are some doctors out there that will use this to convince people that ivermectin is a miracle cure when this study does not actually address treatment and the conduct of the study is so problematic.

If you are interested in ivermectin as a clinical trial the activ-6 trial is still recruiting. Will ship med to your home free.
