It seems you are against ivermectin in the last paragraph…
Answering your question on why Merck gives away ivermectin to Africa,
Merck gets a tax deduction for giving ivermectin to Africa. While they do not get taxable cash from the sale of ivermectin, Merck does get a refund of $$ which would otherwise go to governments.
Say an ivermectin pill costs 1 cent to make, and they give it away at 11 cents per pill. Merck then gets 10 cents in tax credits, which “after tax” , assum a 30% tax rate, in a simplified way equals a 3 cent profit per pill given to Africa for free. …
Thank you so much for your information - I knew there must be a monetary reason, I shall included this in my post.
I am not against ivermectin, I presented the paper with little comment, just to see if any one else was very suspicious when they see the UN,WHO and World Bank and Pharma say that they have eradicated something, thanks to their generosity. Knowing what I know about the lies of vaccines.
IVM does seem to help in the same way that antibiotics do, but over use of antibiotics as we know is very harmful.
I am just saying that I think the elites control the whole narrative, and this craze for IVM, fuelled by banning it, is very very suspicious to me
Increasingly, my evaluation of IVM has been coloured by a)the aggressive framing, banning - Queensland-Australia, doctors got 6mths jail for prescribing it - coupled with b)the enthusiasm of its supporters and c)the relative tolerance of the enforcers. The enforcers could have ensured removal of IVM and all talk about it, as well.
However, I enthusiastically followed its use across continents and by practitioners/researchers I knew and trusted from before the 2019 event.
On the other hand, I put a drop on my non-egg-laying chickens and the next day we had eggs!
And now it's on the Cancer protocols!
But some of its promoters for cancer are convinced there was a virus!
Presently, on the fence and alert to the smell of rats.
Sorry to be thick here but are you saying the drug is worthless here, based on the line, 'Combats appearance of microfilariae of the nematodes but no evidence of overall improvement in outcomes, nor benefits to treating millions prophylactically.'? Or are commenting how Merck 180'ed on the drug and smeared it after touting it as a savior for so long? Whether it worked on the virus causing river blindness or not it is used to fight parasites? Is that legitimate? I mean parasites exist. Is its potential use for Code then nonsense despite proponents saying it has many potential mechanisms of action and at the very least can help with inflammation?
I'm not really saying anything, just smelling! I have updated with some more thinking aloud.
BTW it's not an alleged virus that causes river blindness it's a nematode. Ivermectin was donated by Merck to millions of Africans 'Consequently, around US$4 billion worth of ivermectin tablets have been donated to date' ...what's going on??? there has to be some pay back surely?
Yes it does appear to treat worm infection effectively, just like antibiotics are effective at killing bacteria. Both of which exist! But mass treatment with ivermectin to try to eradicate worms is like mass treatment with antibiotic to eradicate bacteria. The problem is not human to human transmission, but bites from black flies in fast moving rivers. To eliminate river blindness one would need to eradicate flies and rivers.
We know that bacteria are essential to our life. How do we know that prophylactic, biannual treatment with ivermectin is not also destroying symbiotic parasites, bacteria or some other system?
I think demand is deliberately being made for ivermectin, by banning it, to be used for an entirely invented pandemic. It seems to decrease symptoms by inhibiting inflammation. But the inflammation is the healing! The body is trying to detox using fever and inflammation etc, it's like using anti diahorrea and anti vomitting drugs- the toxins just build up more in the body.
I don't know what exactly but something in all this is off!
Ivermectin was what started me off going away from the mainstream narrative. Got to admit...given all I feel I've learned since then, (if I'm not just reading BS content) you got me concerned. I don't trust Merck now so why do I trust them then? I'm reflexively defensive about it but I'll keep an ear open at least.
thank for saying this. I've had 3 unsubscribed for my email list since I posted. 'Reflexively defensive' is a brilliant way to put it. I've heard Jerm from jerm warfare who's on it about viruses etc react just the same way when IVM was mentioned.
I think the 'powers that shouldn't be' control the entire narrative and we should never trust Pharma bearing $4 billion worth of drugs!
My work is done and was worthwhile if you're keeping your ears open
Ivermectin prevents river blindness in humans, and has been used by entire villages in Africa, every Sunday, for decades, and folks on those are not going blind.
Those villagers have taken ivermectin every week, for many many years. even pregnant women and nursing mothers have been taking ivermectin weekly for decades, AND the result is they are not blind at age 30.
I was thinking more on this part of your reply, 'But the inflammation is the healing! The body is trying to detox using fever and inflammation etc, it's like using anti diahorrea and anti vomitting drugs- the toxins just build up more in the body.' The thing is sometimes the symptoms can be so bad they can kill you to, or at least that is what somehow has been put into my head. A fever that is out of control can cause brain damage can't it? When it gets north of 105? With Covid Dr. Marik's paper on its pathophysiology notes the virus is done when the worst of it hits people. The inflammation becomes too much. I thought thats why steroids helped as they gave the body a chance to get it back under control. So aren't their times you are forced to treat the symptoms so they don't run away and cause too much collateral damage?
the detox can kill you, which is what happens with the elderly and frail every year with the seasonal detox. Their lives may be 'saved' for a short while with antibiotics and fever/inflammation reduction, by they are still elderly and frail. So too the obese will struggle with detox symptoms because of all the other metabolic imbalances and lack of good nutrition. Again their lives may be prolonged but they'll still be obese for the next time. The key issue is to be healthy enough not to get to that crisis. The body is super strong if we just look after it just a little bit
Well, I learned a few things by dropping by today. Thanks.
I definitely see what you mean about the IVM blanketing of whole countries as preventatives. Who's to say other factors weren't having a greater effect, like with the reduction in small pox. At this point, I trust nothing coming out of the top health organizations. I did get a 5-day supply of IVM, but I couldn't bring myself to use it. I'm also a big believer in doing a ton of work to stay healthy and then getting rest, fluids, etc, when sick and letting the body heal itself.
Well done!
Thank you!
I'll stick with whole food, exercise and sunshine!
Best of health!
Thank you Doug, and you're very welcome.
Yes ditto all three for me too.

Wow!!. Very well written substack. I for one will not take!
thank you and glad to hear it! 🙏🏽
Thanks Jo. I'll add this to my list of IVM resources.
thank you
🙏🏽
Your article is confusing to me.

Thank you, but how do we know that IVM is preventive? The number of people blinded by river blindness do not seem to be much different from the 70's.
In villages that take ivermectin, they no longer go blind.
Before ivermectin use weekly, they were blind by 30.
With weekly ivermectin use, they do not go blind.
That is how you know ivermectin is preventative
Did IVM coincide with any other change from ‘before’- like improvements in sanitation? References and dates please.
The only change was the addition of ivermectin, it was given to the folks for free. You just want to cast doubt on ivermectin…. Why?
Every week, the villagers take ivermectin as they have got the past Decades and adults are no longer going blind.
Polio, smallpox and other diseases were eliminated in the west by improving sanitation in the years around 1900….
Ivermectin is safe and works
just like dsmo, but the evil ones want to cancel both.
