Are you sure it isn't down to regulatory capture by the US pharmaceutical industry? You can see how nonsensical their comments are in relation to using horse formulations, forgetting that in many countries around the world it is so safe that it is available over the counter. It surely can't be be more dangerous than Advil or cough syrup. Have they forgotten doctors in the US actually prescribe it for Covid? Apparently many people in the US and the UK haven't cottoned on to why their death rates are so high. They seem too stupid to realize that if the cure for an illness is to stay at home without treatment until the symptoms become bad enough to warrant admission to hospital more people will

lol - the only thing unproven are that the patents for drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have expired and theres no money to be made. Isn't amazing big pharama has a new pill/non-vaccine treatment for COVID now? Funny that. The gaslighting over any treatment other than the vax is beyond criminal at this point. Just watch: [this video]

> Advertise medical cures that the government doesn't approve of There is nothing wrong with advertising the truth that certain medical treatments exist which are not government approved in the US, or, legal in the US, but are defintely viable, and are actively used in other parts of the world, or, could be by physicians for off-label use. domperidone [1] is a drug that is used for a few indications overseas. There is an active discussion around it on a number of social media sites, but the FDA warns against importing it, for violating an FDA Act. It is possible to get an exception for one indication in the US, potentially...... But, many women want it because it helps with lactation, and fo

Here are some doctors and scientists with "different" views - ie ideas and facts you are unlikely to hear about from mainstream media, and divisive vax versus anti-vax rhetoric. A) Multidrug treatment using existing medicines early in the symptomatic phase of COVID-19 can dramatically reduce the risk of hospitalization and death [1][2][3]. Coming from front-line doctors actually treating COVID-19 patients, and highly educated and published researchers, this is the most cited literature on the topic that does not concern vaccines. B) Naturally infected individuals who have recovered acquire robust and durable immunity, and are unlikely to benefit from subsequent vaccination [4][5][6][7]. C) M

There are many treatments other than just the vaccine that can prevent hospitalization and death too. Some countries like India rely on them daily since the vaccines aren't widely available to them. If you get infected with COVID there are far more options than "Sit around with a thumb up your ass until you have to be hospitalized and put on a ventilator". [this video] Every person spreading the "horse dewormer" nonsense should be charged with manslaughter. The politicization of this whole thing is beyond a fiasco.
