How refreshing to read a rational explanation for other pharmaceutical possibilities in combating the effects and severity of Covid. I am by no means an "Anti Vaxer" but as with so many other diseases and viruses, there can be many different and effective approaches and therapies. And there is also natural immunity. Politicizing medical treatment and mandating only one singular "solution" while blocking all other potential remedies is not a medically or scientifically sound approach. In fact, it goes against all Physicians' oath and stunts research & development for other breakthrough remedies, therapies, and cures.
Pushing mandates while negating all other possibilities only leads to suspicions and questioning of the motivations of our politicians.

"the trial showed that the antiparasitic drug ivermectin doesn’t help at all. In the Together trial, that drug, commonly used against things like river blindness and intestinal roundworms, didn’t keep anyone with Covid out of the hospital any better than a placebo. Of 677 people with Covid who got 400 micrograms per kilogram of weight per day for three days, 86 ended up in the ER or hospital; of the 678 people who got a placebo, 95 went. That’s not a significant difference, and Mills’ team dropped it from the study. (Vaccination, I should add, is still the most effective, safest, cheapest, and easiest way to avoid getting sick.)
"Ivermectin had some promising early results against the virus in petri dishes and in smaller and observational studies, but it still hasn’t aced a trial. Of two apparent large-scale confirmations of its effects, one (a preprint from researchers in Egypt) got retracted over concerns about plagiarism and fake data. Scientists and journalists at BuzzFeed have found irregularities in the data from another. A separate, positive review of all the data on ivermectin was rejected from a journal after provisional acceptance for concerns about research integrity and conflicts of interest, while a strict meta-analysis of all the randomized, controlled trials of ivermectin against Covid found no positive effect for the drug. The FDA says people shouldn’t take it. The American Medical Association and two pharmacist associations have issued a statement recommending that none of their members prescribe ivermectin for Covid-19 outside of a clinical trial."
