Omicron Variant Spurs Marjorie Taylor Greene to Attack Doctors Who Won't Prescribe ivermectin

1. Ivermectin has been used for years

in Africa... because it is a wonder drug for treating... wait for it... parasites.

The miracle in Africa could be due to...

a) not having as many elderly people with weakened immune symptoms

b) spending much more time outdoors (ventilation is an important key to stopping the virus)

c) getting more sunlight (see reason b) which increases the amount of vitamin D in the blood stream

and

d) African people MAY (repeat MAY) have a genetic resistance to serious COVID. The counter to this is that many African Americans are just as likely to get COVID as non-African Americans. OTOH, the increase in African American mortality may simply be due to unequal access to medical attention.

Exactly NONE of this has anything to do with Ivermectin and, to date, there is not a single double blind large scale scientific trial that shows any efficacy as either a treatment (early or late stage infection) or as a prophylactic.

The only study I have read about for Ivermectin that showed anything related to COVID is that it was effective in killing the virus in vitro (test tube) and then only in concentrations that would be very unsafe in humans. Just like bleach. Or probably a 1000 other drugs / chemicals.

She needs to leave the science to scientists and STFU.
