The most recent google result for ivermectin was from a site called “the scientist” with a post titled – Ivermectin (still) lacks scientific support as a covid-19 drug.
I won’t do the honour of linking to it but to see such disinformation in such trying times is disheartening.
Nonetheless we must persevere and I am currently piecing together a history of Ivermectin in relation to covid-19. The goal is to have something persuasive enough to improve the discussion around the topic. Perhaps if we can get it shared far and wide we might make a difference. At a minimum I will have something to share in my frequent Facebook battles against the army of Karen’s.
It is turning into quite a challenge and with Google doing it’s best to bury results I thought this might be an opportunity for us Cats to go against our nature and work collaboratively.
I am asking for you to leave in the comments any links and dates that would be relevant to the task ahead. In particular I am looking for:
- studies undertaken
- comments from prominent people
- any expert testimonial in front of governing bodies
- creation of doctor/expert political groups on the topic
- real world examples of the use of ivermectin and the results (which is surprisingly difficult)
- anything else you may feel is relevant
I linked this one yesterday on the OT:
Double-Blind Ivermectin Study Reveals COVID Patients Recover More Quickly, Are Less Infectious (4 Aug)
No doubt the Israeli medical scientists will be pilloried, but this result is in keeping with others I’ve seen, plus experience in countries like India.

While I’m here I’ll add two that I have bookmarked and another one I saw some weeks ago.
Ivermectin docks to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain attached to ACE2 (June 2020)
It’s a binding site modelling study, but it is a formal scientific paper, and it is useful to demonstrate why ivermectin works: by stuffing up the spike protein binding to the ACE2 receptor.
Report comment
And from Jo Nova last week:
The battle worth fighting for: Let us and our doctors choose what medicine we take (30 Jul)
In it you’ll find a link to a number of articles, especially one called ” The Ivermectin Review: showing how it may prevent 86% of Covid cases.” There’s also a useful link to Greg Hunt saying that GPs can prescribe ivermectin off-label, which is useful for an appeal to authority.
Report comment
And the fourth:
Study reveals characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (29 Jul)
This one isn’t about ivermectin, but is about why expression of the spike protein on the surfaces of cells due to the mRNA vaccines can have damaging effects – especially clot formation. The spike protien binds with an ACE2 receptor in a passing blood cell and causes the two cells to fuse.
The Noavax vaccine is probably better since it is apparently a nanoparticle with spike proteins on it’s surface – much more like a killed-virus vaccine formulation. That should make clot formation much less likely.
At the same time since ivermectin interferes with the spike protein binding to the ACE2 receptor it would suggest it would also be beneficial for preventing clotting with the Pfizer and AZ vaccines. However as the study says there’s little data on such things, and you can see why that might be the case given the enormous pressure from governments lately.

Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines
Conclusions:
Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

I just note – that a lot of these studies are by non english speaking scientists that have to write in english. and whilst skirting plagiarism if not directly acknowledged, coping of “boilerplate” and slight manipulation to get concepts across is the norm:
The paper was “withdrawn from the Research Square platform without informing or asking me”, Elgazzar wrote in an e-mail to Nature.

India is are really interesting example. In May/June there was a “massive” spike of the “Indian” (now Delta) COVID variant… All over the news with massive numbers infected and dying.
A couple of Indian States started using ivermectin as prophylaxis – hence all the indian studies – and the severity of the infections reduced. The WHO issued a guidance that ivermectin should not be used and so it happened. The severity and death rate spiked up.
At this point, ivermectin use was re-instated and the infection severity dropped and no one hears about india any more…

In April last year, when the efficacy of Ivermectin was known, the scientist were talking about manufacturing a combination of Ivermectin, some other component (can’t recall what that was), and a low dosage antibiotic to clean up the damage wrought by Covid-19 in blister packs.
Cheap as chips to mass manufacture, they could have been over the counter pharmaceuticals in your local chemist shop well over a year ago. We could have been shipping them all over the world and been good neighbours to the Indonesians and the Pacific Islanders.
Think of that, April last year, how much unnecessary death and suffering has happened since then.
How many have needlessly died from Covid-19?
How many have died or been permanently injured with the “vaccines”?

The entire issue with vaccines rather than prophylactic treatment is that – as Jeff Goldblum famously said – “Life will find a way”.
We now have something like a dozen variants. And like antibiotic resistant bacteria, it is not a stretch to assume that each of these is a mutation in response to the vaccine.
The variant that bears watching is the Peru or Lambda variant. It is supposedly vaccine resistant. And (tin-foil hat on) why big pharma is selling its stock and charging more (in expectation that no one will want these soon). And why suddenly there is lot of research into treatments. [But not ivermectin etc of course]

Adam, I think you will find this Thread Reader every interesting. It is a leaked (standardised?) contract/agreement between Pfizer and Albania. It is likely that Australia, among other nations, signed up to a similar agreement as well. Well worth reading all the way through.
If what applies to Albania applies to Australia then it becomes apparent that Pfizer’s agreement overrules our national sovereignty and laws, and that it has been kept secret from us. It also helps explains why Ivermectin & HCQ have not been used as its use runs contrary to the agreement. Is that why HCQ was banned in Queensland?
If this agreement was signed knowing that alternative therapies were to be banned under the agreement, and if the government is pushing these vaccines so as not to break the agreement, then I think we are looking at some very serious crimes by some of our political leaders. Currently, millions of Australians are being held to ransom in lockdowns in order to satisfy an agreement with an international drug corporation. Is this not sedition, or treason?

This is all history and theory, well worthwhile documenting, but the important question is this – Where can it be obtained, and how and when should it be used? If it requires a prescription, is there a contact list of doctors willing to sign it? Where are the instructions for dosages? Is it administered if infected, or beforehand as a defence against infection?
Another potential question that many will ask soon – If our wonderful caring governments permit commercial enterprises to decide on certification of jabbedness to buy potatoes at my local shop or to indulge in other ordinary activities of my unessetial life, where can I get a faked certificate for my dumb smartphone.
Report comment
Yes it requires a prescription & that is the problem.
The vaccines have been made available as “emergency “ provisions without the normal period of clinical trials – particularly human RCT trials. Emergency approval for vaccines es is given when there are no effective treatments, as I understand.
Therefore the TGA has suppressed and disencouraged Ivermectin advocacy. It would be a very rare GP who would prescribe it for either prophylactic purposes, or even as a treatment in early infection. Of course, we know that Greg Hunt wrote to a GP advocate Dr Mark Hobart to assure him that he has the right, nevertheless, to prescribe “off label” Ivermectin if that is his recommendation.
Dr Hobart & Dr Peter Lewis can be contacted via the covid network ( I will look for contact details) but I doubt if they would prescribe remotely , in other than dire conditions – but I may be wrong.
Otherwise online availability to obtain Ivermectin ( eg Stromectol) seems to be solely through prescription.
It is an unbelievable situation in view of the many many trials proving the efficacy of this underrated medication. It just shows what group think, Big Pharma, bureaucratic dominance, & the fear of independent action has done to the medical profession.
Ivermectin is a great product. Not surprising that there seems to be little Covid in Equatorial Africa – since they take Iver as a prophylactic for River Blindness & Elephantiasis.
And my cows will tell you that it is a godsend in the winter months when grass mites make them so itchy that they will scratch on gates & wire fences till they bleed. Ivermectin pour on drench clears it up in a few days.

Nah. Granted, this is the 26 May 2021 (current) version, but no reference was provided for the above so: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2021L00650
Schedule 4 lists ‘Prescription Only Medications’, not poisons. HCQ for and IVM are both listed there. In other words, they are medications.
Schedule 7 lists ‘Dangerous Poisons’. Ivermectin is listed there, but with the note “except when included in Schedule 4 or 5.”, which it is.
Thus, neither HCQ nor IMV are listed as poisons on the National Poisons Standard.

What I read was that these two were limited to continued prescription consistent with previous treatments ie. “off-label” prescription was prohibited. So people could still be prescribed HCQ for malaria or rheumatoid arthritis but not for anything else.

Off label prescription of ivermectin is still permitted, grudgingly confirmed by Greg Hunt in writing.
New prescriptions of hydroxychloroquine (ie not repeats for previously prescribed HCQ) have been limited to certain groups of specialists (such as rheumatologists & dermatologists) by the TGA, & certain State Governments have criminalised its prescription. All scripts for HCQ must now have PBS authority (ie Canberra bureaucrats must approve the script).

This one isn’t about ivermectin, but I sure would be interested in the comparable data for it. H/t to the Express in the UK who have a story about this article, which I was then able to track down. It’s about Australian experiences. RTWT.
Study suggests rates of thrombocytopenia and VTE increase after Pfizer (6 Aug)
So a good big statistical study. VTE is venous thromboembolism. The data shows that various clotting issues do occur but are seemingly rare even for Covid infection itself. Which is the good news.
What we really do need is the same data for ivermectin and similar antiviral treatment methods (there’re a couple new candidates in the science news today – a repurposing of a tapeworm drug, and likewise of an anticholesterol drug).
The different mechanism of action for ivermectin, which appears to be to interfere with the spike-ACE2 receptor link up, suggests it would not cause the type of clotting-related side effects that the mRNA vaccines appear to do.

Sadly, I can’t see Big Pharma releasing their opposition to Ivermectin.
We may have to accept their new anti-viral versions in the new year in the face of continued prohibition of supply of Iver.

“Ivermectin is used in animals as a an anti-parasitic” – yes, indeed it is, especially on multi-million dollar thoroughbred race horses. Clearly dangerous – I mean, who cares if a few nags go to the glue factory early, right?
Warfarin is used as rat poison, so I guess we better not use that any more either, huh? Can’t be too careful, right?
So let me see – a vaxxine that has by-passed the late stage animal and human trials which every single corona virus vaxxine candidate for the last 70 years has failed, which created more VAERS reports in one year than 10 years worth of ALL other vaxxines, and on which we have no long term “side affects” data (including no data if there are second or third generation affects) is going to be our saviour and MUST be taken to get us back to normal, despite increasing evidence that it only lasts for 6 months and is not as effective against variants.
Yet a drug that has been taken by over 3 billion people over 30+ years, with a well characterised risk profile and dosage, is safer when taken as prescribed than aspirin, is listed by WHO as an essential medicine, is cheap and readily available, and which increasing numbers of small scale RCTs show is at least as effective as the vaxxines at prophylaxis, reducing risk of the need to be hospitalised, and reducing the risk of death if hospitalised, and appears to be just as effective against all variants, is deliberately suppressed as a treatment.
And when anyone points this out, they are dismissed as part of the tin-foil hat brigade and censored from social and main-stream media – even qualified MDs and PhD medical professionals with enviable publication and citation records. The same MSM and social media genii who banned Hunter Biden laptop stories and promoted “Russia, Russia, Russia!” for 4 years.
Nothing to see here – move along. Look over there – squirrels and funny cat videos! No, look here – successful young athletes with lots of money getting drunk and being dorks! No no, look here – celebrities with drug problems!

Oh, so well put, Kneel!!!
It’s staggering, isn’t it? Gosh – I’ve pointed this out to many friends – intelligent people, including medical professionals. They are either silent, or get very, very angry.
All I can say is….yes, last year when the Wuhan saga erupted I was also keen for a saving vaccine …..but hell… once the details emerged about the lack of sufficient trials AND the increasing adverse events…why would you go ahead with vaccination?
The answer? These days people are too concerned with the fripperies and diversions of 21st century life to take the time to take in anything beyond the 6pm news or the latest novel.
And that is the tragedy.

I’ve wondered if it’s the excitement of being alive now in this historic moment when the whole world is experiencing the same virus. A hundred from now and again in three hundred years time people will read about us just as we read about the plagues that altered the demographic face of Europe in earlier centuries. Masks, vaccinations and the yet to come passports are markers and souvenirs of this historic moment that should be cherished. Is that the answer? Is that what has suckered so many into lapping up the koolaid.

Interesting that the mode of action appears to have nothing to do with either the spike protein or preventing entry into cells.

Not a prophylactic, but nevertheless a way to end lockdowns and mandatory va666ines.
Thank you Alpacas !

Well my post from last night failed to appear so I’ll break it up into its two components.
Greg Hunt (grudgingly) confirmed in writing that Ivermectin can be prescribed off-label.

re Hydroxychloroquine. The TGA has limited its new prescription to certain groups of specialists (ie rheumatologists, dermatologists, oral surgeons), preventing GPs initiating treatment. GP’s can renew a script if it’s previously been prescribed for Rh Arthritis etc. However all scripts can only be issued with PBS authority
, meaning the prescribing doctor has to phone Canberra & get approval before the script becomes legal. Approval is only granted if the indication is on an approved list; treatment/prophylaxis of Covid19 is not one of them.
