Doctors Raise Awareness on Ivermectin Treatment for COVID-19
In an effort to help end the pandemic, an international coalition of medical experts is holding worldwide events on Saturday to raise awareness about the effectiveness of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
Organizers of the World Ivermectin Day say doctors and supporters of the inexpensive FDA-approved drug will host free online and public events in over a dozen countries.
Two nonprofits—Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance and the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) group—who have been campaigning for the off-label use of ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19 say the event’s focus is to let more people know that the antiparasitic drug can treat COVID-19, possibly end the pandemic, and help eliminate fear of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
“We have an incredibly positive and uplifting message to share: ivermectin treats and prevents COVID and it is the key to unlocking the never-ending cycle of pandemic peaks and personal restrictions and will help restart economies,” Dr. Tess Lawrie, cofounder of the BIRD group said in a press release.
Lawrie is also a co-author of a peer-reviewed meta-analysis study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics that found ivermectin to be effective against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus. Lawrie and her team concluded with a moderate level of confidence that ivermectin reduced the risk of death by an average of 62 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval of 0.19-0.73, especially when prescribed early.
FLCCC Alliance also conducted their own review of 18 randomized controlled trials on COVID-19 treatment with ivermectin. They found “large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance.” The authors also said that studies on the prevention of COVID-19 reported significantly reduced risks of the disease with regular use of the drug.
Members of the FLCCC Alliance have developed various protocols for the prevention and early treatment of COVID-19, instead of having patients wait until they develop a severe illness to receive treatment at the hospital. These treatment protocols including one for the management of long COVID are being used globally.
The current standard protocol for COVID-19 positive patients is to isolate at home, avoid dehydration, rest, and take over-the-counter medications for fever, headache, cough, and body pain.
According to updated guidance from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 and who are at high risk of disease progression, are recommended to take a monoclonal antibody if hospitalization or supplemental oxygen is not required.
Despite evidence showing ivermectin may treat all stages of COVID-19 and reduce death and hospitalization as a result of its anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, the FDA has not approved its use, saying that the drug isn’t an anti-viral. The federal regulator issued a warning that people should not take ivermectin intended for horses as the larger doses may be harmful to humans.
The NIH has not changed its neutral stance on the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19, while the World Health Organization (WHO) does not recommend the use of the drug except in a clinical study. Both organizations cite insufficient data for not making a recommendation.
Unprecedented Censorship
Online discussions of ivermectin have faced an unprecedented level of suppression with doctors claiming that their videos are being taken down or their LinkedIn accounts closed.
Lawrie said she has experienced censorship with her work on ivermectin, claiming that her videos about the drug have been removed and posts censored on social media.
“I have experienced a lot of censorship ever since I started doing work on ivermectin (never before),” Lawrie told The Epoch Times via email. “I have had my post of my published peer-reviewed scientific manuscript removed from LinkedIn.”
She also said that many people have informed her that their accounts would be restricted or censored “if they post the work my company has produced on ivermectin or interviews that I have done.”
LinkedIn did not reply to a request for comment.
Dr. Mobeen Syed, chief executive officer of Drbeen Corp, an online medical education, said YouTube took down three of his videos on ivermectin within 24 hours.
“[Third] book burnt in 24 hours. @Youtube @TeamYouTube continue to burn books,” Syed said on Twitter on July 11. “This video was important to keep people safe who are using ivermectin regardless of what YouTube thinks.”
YouTube did not reply to The Epoch Times inquiry on clarification of which terms or conditions Syed’s videos had violated.
Ivermectin is not the only topic being suppressed or blocked by Big Tech firms. Social media posts about the lab leak theory that the CCP virus escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and information that goes against the narrative about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine has also been censored.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki suggested at a White House briefing that people should be banned from all social media platforms if they post misinformation online about COVID-19 vaccines, alleging that this type of information was “leading to people not taking the vaccine.”
Psaki’s suggestion has drawn widespread condemnation.
Regardless of the suppression of ivermectin around the world, people have found unique ways to get the information out. Social media posts of lawn signs have appeared in Manitoba, Canada with a simple message that reads, “Ivermectin treats COVID-19” along with the FLCCC website listed.
Members of the FLCCC Alliance said in a reply to an email that they would continue their mission in getting ivermectin approved for COVID-19 despite the censorship.
“Thank you for your email. Abandoning our mission is not [an] option. Yes, it has been hell. But as Winston Churchill once said, ‘If you’re going through hell, keep going.’ So if we need to leave you here, we understand. But we’ll march on. Your life matters that much,” the nonprofit said earlier this month.

Now, someone like me, who doesn’t believe in pasteur methodology or what’s claimed about “viruses”, considers the enormous amounts of ignored essential and toxicity factors, who considers the fraudulent extrapolating tool, who considers the conflations, misattributions, interchangeabilities of said manufactured quantification known as covid and even the codification in CDC documents about how classifications should be made on even as little as assumption, the avoidance of autopsies, the associations, the motivations the suppliers of these “treatments”…
Can you forgive me for suggesting I would not use ivermectin as the justification for its use is fraudulent, just like HCQ, remdesivir, regeneron, vaccines?
Anyway, for someone NOT as skeptical and invested in “pseudoscientific conspiracy theorist quackery antivax antisocial terrorist racism”…I look at things like these:
https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0009354
That tells me, ivermectin toxicity is exacerbated by, mostly, poor nutritional status (like almost anything, actually).
So, all I can say is…if you do, even as a “doctor” consider Ivermectin, be aware of blood brain barrier permeability (particularly in light of increased attacks of that, through numerous environmental and societal means), which I suspect will become more of a prevailing issue as general health deteriorates with the aid of some of those damaging factors (vaccines, EMF, policies, food supply, etc).
But also, keep in mind antioxidation is a useful, rather prevalent thing in terms of disease and minimizing toxicity…with respect to unnecessary Ivermectin toxicity, or not.
To be fair, I won’t outright say Ivermectin is crap, I’ll say it’s less than ideal.

After having read this piece twice, I can only conclude Sir_isO that your blood brain barrier has been seriously compromised.

Just a sort of “weak” supporting piece to that regarding deteriorating health:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30678702
Ethylene oxide? Lipids/hydrogels? Those are both kinda implicated in BBB permeability…you know, along with generalized shittier health status.
Well yeah…so if you been vaccinated, I’d recommend you avoid ivermectin, tbh. But even if you do, use ivermectin, make sure you have good antioxidation levels BEFORE you use it.
Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Modified with Tween 80 Pass through the Intact Blood-Brain Barrier in Rats under Magnetic Field
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27092793/
“. The comparative study confirms that both the Tween-80 modification and EMF play crucial roles in the effective passage of SPIONs across the intact BBB. However, the magnetic force alone cannot drag the SPIONs coated with PEI/PEG polymers through the BBB. The results indicate the Tween-SPIONs cross the BBB via an active penetration facilitated by EMF. ”
Oh dear, that’s AAAAAAAWWWWWFULLY similar to the results, ingredients from vaccines the test subjects have been administered.

Hi PSI Readers,
Please compare the occupational track record of the authors of today’s PSI articles and those whom they quote with the track record (none) of Sir_isO. Each of you must make a decision of whom to believe.
And based upon personal experience and what I read (including Sir_isO’s comments) here at PSI I must conclude that PSI is one of the few (if there actually are others) websites that do NOT CENSOR. For Sir_isO’s comments should be all the proof that one needs to conclude this.
And I must plainly state: I do not know that what he writes is necessarily wrong. But I do have an opinion which you might detect from what I have just written. And I repeat: Each of you must make a decision of whom to believe.
Have a good day, Jerry

Well said Jerry, I agree totally. The dear Sir_Iso is beginning to sound like a group of people with an axe to grind.

There are a number of freshwater fish species that can crawl up water falls but I cannot fathom why some people attempt it. There are other ways to be nonconformist.

What the good people who wrote this article do not seem to understand is that the vaccines were designed well before the so called virus appeared and the people who designed them are totally fixed on making a buck from it/them. They are also totally ruthless and will do anything in their not inconsiderable power to make sure that nothing like ivermectin or anything else comes between them and their profit. However I can only wish the FLCC alliance every success in their endeavours.
