Not until last year... but once those tests and trials showed success, it is a far better gamble to use a known therapeutic drug than an experimental jab.
This is the kind of post that concerns me. It shows that you're not looking at this clearly. This is from the manufacturer:
Merck Statement on Ivermectin use During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Merck.comKENILWORTH, N.J., Feb. 4, 2021 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified:
We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.
- No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;
- No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;
- A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.
The best thing I can say about folks refusing to get vaccinated is that they're very cautious about what goes into their bodies...so if that's the case, explain to me what other drug they'd be willing to ingest where the manufacturer says that there's a lack of safety data, no evidence that it works and there's no scientific basis for a therapeutic effect?
I can tell from your post above that you're confident in its safety yet the science doesn't support it. This is what I don't get. Why be so hard on the vax but be so "lax" on other drugs such as Ivermectin? It shows a lack of clarity on this position.
