Strictly regular use of ivermectin as prophylaxis for COVID-19 leads to a 90% reduction in COVID-19 mortality rate, in a dose-response manner: definitive results of a prospective observational study of a strictly controlled 223,128 population from a city-wide program in Southern Brazil

Abstract

Background: Previously, we demonstrated that ivermectin use as prophylaxis for COVID-19 was associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates, and in the risk of dying from COVID-19, irrespective of regularity and accumulated use of ivermectin, in an observational, prospectively obtained data from a strictly controlled city-wide program in a city in Southern Brazil (Itajaí, SC, Brazil) of medically-based, optional use of ivermectin as prophylaxis for COVID-19. In this study, our objective was to explore the data obtained from the program to evaluate whether the level of regularity of ivermectin use impacted in the reductions in these outcomes, aiming to determine if ivermectin showed a progressive dose- and regularity-response in terms of protection from COVID-19 and COVID-19 related outcomes. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational study of the program mention above, that used ivermectin at a dose of 0.2mg/kg/day for two consecutive days, every 15 days.

Kulldorff Deleted: Famed Epidemiologist and Early Opponent of Lockdowns Banned by LinkedIn


 

Just a few days ago, I linked to an epic article in the history of the pandemic response. Finally, he decided to post it on his LinkedIn account. The posting of this article was an important moment in the modern historiography of lockdowns and the response. It became very easily the most important English-language dissent against the unprecedented and catastrophic response deployed by states all over the world.

LinkedIn made this possible because it allowed its users the freedom to post their thoughts.

Vaccines are a tool, not a silver bullet. If we’d allowed more scientific debate, we would have realized this earlier

More than two years since COVID-19 emerged, our kit of solutions – and the mindset needed to use them – is too small. The December 20 announcement, coming at a time when Canadians were preoccupied with Omicron, and the fear hospitals would soon be overwhelmed, received hardly any news coverage. Fluvoxamine is a "repurposed drug," and comes from what might seem like a most unlikely source – psychiatry.

The drug has had two randomized control trials, or RCTs and four observational studies showing it keeps people with COVID out of hospital, from requiring intubation, and helps prevent death. The discovery of its anti-COVID properties came after impressive sleuthing in France and the United States. This is a good news story, about our public-health officials doing something right, and showing flexibility, at a time when we are learning the limits of our vaccines and accompanying strategies. Reappraisal is in the air, driven by everyone’s two-year-experience with the pandemic – scientists included.

The Truth About Vaccine-induced Myocarditis


 

As a young male with a platform, it's my responsibility to give voice to the voiceless. The following essay has been rigorously fact-checked by Stanford medicine professor and infectious disease expert Dr. Most alarmingly, our universal triple-vaccination regime is victimizing more and more young males. And both conservative and liberal media have ignored the problem entirely. Vinay Prasad highlights, if the researchers used more accurate seroprevalence data for viral infection and analyzed the risk in younger males ages 16-24 specifically, the risk-benefit ratio would swing further against the administration of the aforementioned vaccine doses in this population.

How long until you retire? Across Europe, people’s working life is getting shorter

Read the original article.

  • For the first time this century, the expected average duration of working life for Europeans has dropped.
  • The pandemic is partly to blame, according to the European Commission.
  • People are living longer and age-related costs are rising accordingly.
  • It’s a global problem which could affect developed and developing economies alike.

In Europe, people are living longer but spending fewer years working.

Double Vaccinated Have Double the Infection Rate, Data From Iceland Shows


 

The double-vaccinated are almost twice as likely to be infected as unvaccinated people, data from Iceland shows. This is the same pattern as found in data from the U. After December 20th, the 14-day incidence of COVID-19 infection by vaccination status took a very unexpected turn in Iceland. The infection rate per 100,000 of fully vaccinated adults with booster is now eleven times higher than on December 20th, and the infection rate of double-vaccinated adults seven times higher. At the same time, infections among unvaccinated people have grown by a factor of 2.6 only.

In the end, the truth will always be revealed, and the truth about the coronavirus policy is beginning to be revealed. When the destructive concepts collapse one by one, there is nothing left but to tell the experts who led the management of the pandemic – we told you so. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame. You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge.
