Interestingly, IVM was reported to have exhibited antiviral properties against Flaviviruses and Lentiviruses. It had shown promising results in inhibiting replication of flavivirus by targeting the NS3 helicase [20]. IVM also inhibits the nuclear transport of viral proteins via α/β-mediated nuclear transport, exerting an antiviral effect against HIV-1 and dengue viruses [21]. Recently, IVM has been investigated for its antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2, which reported a 5000-fold reduction in

It’s been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting bleach. We’ve never been the same.
It was wild in the moment. In time, it came to symbolize the chaotic nature of the presidency and the early Covid fight.One year ago today, President Donald Trump took to the White House briefing room and encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body as a means of fighting Covid. It was a watershed moment, soon to become iconic in the annals of presidential briefings. It arguably changed the course of political history.

At least 5 states report an increase in calls to poison control after Trump’s ‘disinfectant’ COVID-19 remarks
Calls to poison centers have increased in a number of states following Donald Trump’s suggestion last week that disinfectants be considered a possible treatment for the novel coronavirus. Yes, people actually started ingesting disinfectants like Lysol last week. While Trump claimed his comment was sarcastic on Friday, he once again took no responsibility for the consequences resulting from his stupid remarks. When asked about the increase in people using disinfectants improperly, Trump replied: “I can’t imagine why,” during a White House news conference Monday. He failed to once again acknowledge the severe consequences his words have for some Americans.
Popular disinfectant companies like The Clorox Company and Reckitt Benkiser, the parent company of both Lysol and Dettol, quickly released statements emphasizing that their products should not be consumed. Despite warnings from healthcare providers and other officials, people acted on Trump’s advice and ingested chemicals, including bleach, across the country. In at least five states, poison centers reported they had an increase in calls within 18 hours of Trump’s broadcasted stupidity.
While government officials acknowledged that it is hard to imagine people took the advice seriously, many admitted that during a time of crisis people’s first concern is safety. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said his state received “hundreds of calls” from residents about the effectiveness of using disinfectants to treat the coronavirus on Sunday. “We had hundreds of calls in our hotline here in Maryland about people asking about injecting or ingesting these disinfectants, which is, you know, hard to imagine that people thought that that was serious. But what people actually were thinking about this, was this something you could do to protect yourself?” Hogan, a Republican, said in an interview on CBS. Hogan also emphasized the importance of leaders sharing accurate and honest information, especially during a crisis.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer expressed similar views, whether comments are “serious or not” she said people listen to those in power. “We have seen an increase in numbers of people calling poison control and so I think it’s really important that every one of us with a platform disseminate medically accurate information,” Whitmer told ABC News. “I want to say, unequivocally no one should be using disinfectant — to digest it to fight COVID-19,” she added. “Please don’t do it. Just don’t do it.”

What Is Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is a medication that treats some parasitic diseases. There are two types: one that doctors prescribe for certain health conditions in people and another that veterinarians prescribe, which is safe only for animals.When ivermectin was first discovered in the 1970s, it was used only on animals because it kills some internal and external parasites that affect livestock as well as companion animals such as horses and dogs. Then in the 1980s, it was approved to treat some parasitic infections in people.

How Does Ivermectin Work?
Ivermectin is a type of anthelmintic, which is a medicine that kills parasites such as worms. It works by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of parasitic worms. It paralyzes the parasites or inactivates their gut, which kills them.Depending on the condition being treated, your doctor may prescribe ivermectin either in tablet form or topical form, such as a cream.
What Does Ivermectin Treat in Humans?
In people, the FDA has approved prescription ivermectin tablets to treat two infections caused by parasitic worms:- Strongyloidiasis, which people usually get from contact with contaminated soil. It can cause problems such as belly pain, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, and rashes. However, if you have strongyloidiasis, you may not have any symptoms.
- Onchocerciasis, which is spread through blackfly bites. Also called river blindness, this infection can bring on an itchy rash, vision loss, and abnormal growths under the skin.
Sometimes, doctors also prescribe a type of ivermectin that you put on your skin (called a topical medication) to treat head lice and skin conditions such as rosacea. For scabies, your doctor may prescribe either tablets or topical ivermectin.
Ivermectin for Animals
In animals, ivermectin can help prevent and treat parasites. It is used to treat gastrointestinal worms in horses, cattle, pigs, and other livestock, as well as lungworms, lice, mites, and grubs in certain animals. In dogs and cats, ivermectin is used to prevent heartworm.Veterinary ivermectin comes in different formats, including a paste, pour-on liquid, injectable, and chewable. It’s dangerous for humans to take any drug made for animals, including ivermectin. A dose meant for a big animal such as a horse or cow (which can weigh 2,000 pounds or more) can be toxic or deadly for a person. Also, some inactive ingredients in ivermectin made for animals might not be safe for people.

Ivermectin for COVID-19
The FDA has not approved ivermectin to treat or prevent the illness caused by the coronavirus.Through professional medical studies called clinical trials, scientists have been studying ivermectin to find out whether it can treat COVID. But according to the FDA, the data available from these clinical trials doesn’t show that ivermectin is effective against COVID. The FDA, CDC, Infectious Diseases Society of America, and World Health Organization say you shouldn’t take ivermectin for COVID unless you’re enrolled in one of these clinical trials.
The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the coronavirus is to get vaccinated. The COVID vaccines are approved for everyone aged 6 months and older. They’re generally safe and effective, with the benefits outweighing any risks.
The same can’t be said about taking ivermectin for COVID. If you’re not under a doctor’s care, it’s possible to take too much and overdose, which can lead to seizures, coma, and death.
People who have self-medicated with ivermectin made for animals have required medical attention, including hospitalization, according to the FDA. In July 2021, some poison control centers received five times as many calls about people experiencing side effects from taking ivermectin than they did before the pandemic.

- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Pain in your stomach
- Muscle pain or stiffness
- Difficulty moving

Did you see me advocate for paxlovid in this thread?

They should be able to charge $1000/treatment.
I wonder if insurance will cover this?

They should have to bring their own wormer from home. And I wonder...why does a hospital, or any physician have to administer it? Can't they just shove it up their own asses?
Althea

Moot point at this period in time. Covid is much more contagious, but much less virulent. I don't believe the Ohio legislators can force any hospital to carry a specific medication.
