https://www.fda.gov/media/155053/download "Molnupiravir may only be used for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults: With positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and Who are at high-risk" - It will be thrown out like candy.
Note that you won't find a coherent definition of a non-severe "case" of "Covid 19" in any FDA EUA for the vaccines either. Non-severe "Covid 19" can be "prevented" and "treated" but not defined.
Once you make a bunch of some 'drug', regardless of whether it works or not, it is almost impossible to dispose of it. Antibiotics, for instance, keep doing their damage no matter if they exit your body, or are dumped on the ground. They keep killing their target forever. When I hear about any new drug, this is what I think first; was it just some poison that was too expensive or impossible to dump so the drug companies simply present it as a new drug. A few sham drug trials and boom, you are making money again with the same poison that killed the previous folks.
We gotta stop makin' most of this stuff in the first place it seems.
At least antibiotics often resemble peptides already released by warring microbes. There's probably a good reason all of the kingdom of life sticks with making and using only the nucleoside analogs that don't get confused for the core code.
Brian, do you plan on taking a dive into the story behind Ritonavir, the co-packaged HIV anti-viral in Pfizer's Paxlovid. The efficacy studies I was able to find from 2020 show no benefit and Fauci's name is all over it. It stinks of a similar air to Remdesivir...
Seems like political graft to me. It's HIV-land, everything there is sketchy Fauci territory. I still have to read the HIV chapter in Kennedy's book before I can consider myself even vaguely able to tackle that realm.
Indications are it affects bone growth, probably therefore bone health in adults. Bone marrow is the source of a lot of immune function. Wonder if it will show increased reinfections due to weakened immune function? Wonder if they even considered that? Or care? Or if that's a "feature" not a bug??
Yeah, no thanks. I’ll stick with horse dewormer, if I even need it. I maintain a healthy weight, vitamin D level at 94 ng/ml, etc. Living a good life without Big Pharma’s toxic drugs.
I'll be honest - both of these articles are too technical for me to wade through. To me it comes down to people's actual experience and I've heard plenty of that from both doctors who have been treating thousands of patients (like Dr. Joseph Varon who this year received a Houston Humanitarian Award for his heroic work with Covid patients, and has had about a 100% better outcome, using the MATH+ protocol which includes IVM) and many, many individuals who had Covid and have shared their stories of how ivermectin turned things around for them. Including people at the end of the rope on ventilators. Since I keep my D level healthy, take zinc, quercetin etc. I honestly don't think I'll need IVM if/when I get a Covid variant. I'm 62, have never had the flu (or a flu shot) and can't remember the last time I had a cold. Thank you Stoichastic for sharing the rebuttal.
Just some lines and arcs with a transparent background in a png. Note that substack makes violating its limited spacing options quite perilous. For one thing, I can't turn off the links on spacer images, so they create spooky "invisible" links.
For another, substack revises their formatting all the time, retroactively destroying previous attempts to flaunt the limits via backspace and copy-paste antics. I just had to completely reformat the list of Molnupiravir effects in Doppelgänger because spaced paragraphs in bullet lists have been disabled! There were twenty paragraphs that were turned into walls of text, who knows how long it has been online in that condition!
My idea of fun would be random online shopping pages for farm supplies to mess up substack tracking profiles, as I used to link to overtly at the bottom of every post.
I was not aware of that - will have to keep an eye on it. Had been thinking of keeping my writing really short and this now confirms the decision. I can't read slabs of text and space everything to allow eye rest.
I will continue to live dangerously. I'm sure one day all my footnotes - 33% of the content I have written - will just be erased. However, I keep regular site downloads.
And what is really important, what is really connected with life, will persist in some ''morphogenetic fields'', in bio-logical resonances - at least as long as a minimum of energy remains to guarantee the continuance. That is life.
Similar to how the American Indian cultures understood that essential characteristics could not be "saved" in the mind; only temporarily borrowed from the animals/spirits that embodied them.
And what does it say about us humans when we need more and more hard drives and clouds to hold on to more and more data? That we have less and less essential information and thus try to replace bio-logical quality with techno-''logical'' quantity. Why are more and more people getting fatter and fatter? Because they can access too much energy (calories)? Or is it because they have to digest more and more decoherent energy, so that the body gets at least some coherent energy, which is a tiny part of the decoherent mass? Similar to our telescopes getting bigger and bigger, which are supposed to catch weaker and weaker signals, so that we can quench our ''thirst for knowledge''?
Data is not information and technology can't be bio-logical.
What the ... is 'mild to moderate' covid-19 cases? Did FDA define 'mild' and 'moderate'?

Right, the immune system needs RNA polymerase a.k.a gene expression just as much as a virus.

I'm ever-more ambivalent about ivermectin. Scott Alexander's "takedown" is actually a well-done overview - https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted
This rebuttal to Scott's piece was also well done: https://doyourownresearch.substack.com/p/a-conflict-of-blurred-visions
I remain convinced by IVM's value - even if it was placebo there would be some merit to its use.
I'll be honest - both of these articles are too technical for me to wade through.

I agree that's where the case remains the strongest.
FDA are handing out EUAs like they're candy. wtaf? FDA rhymes with, "pay to play" though, so there's that.
OT: I looked everywhere for your fancy paragraph separator in the substack editor. But it's an image. Nicely done!

You could link them to something fun, like a Babylon Bee article. Sort of an "Easter egg."

Do you mind if I borrow the image? happy to credit you!
Feel free. The modern world needs all the scrolls it can get.
