Regulatory crime of the century: Australian government TGA finally lifts Ivermectin ban

IvermectinBy Jo Nova

After a 628 day ban for no medical reason, the Australian TGA has decided that our doctors will be allowed to prescribe ivermectin “off label” again, like they did for decades without a problem. Apparently, they don’t have to worry now that crazy people will use it to avoid getting injected with a barely studied, radical new form of drug which had no published data.

TGA: Removal of prescribing restrictions on ivermectin

From 1 June 2023, prescribing of oral ivermectin for ‘off-label’ uses will no longer be limited…

…there is sufficient evidence that the safety risks to individuals and public health is low when prescribed by a general practitioner in the current health climate.

This considers the evidence and awareness of medical practitioners about the risks and benefits of ivermectin, and the low potential for any shortages of ivermectin for its approved uses. Also, given the high rates of vaccination and hybrid immunity against COVID-19 in Australia, use of ivermectin by some individuals is unlikely to now compromise public health.

Ten years before this decision they knew it was no threat to public health. Ivermectin was known to be so safe researchers fed it to children in a trial to kill head lice in a Canberra primary school in 2010. Back in those medieval days, people were giving horse dewormer to kids, and nobody cared.

When it was banned, the TGA gave three reasons, none of which made sense. In September 2021 the TGA even pretended Australia might run out of ivermectin due to the new demand driven by consenting taxpayers with their doctor’s recommendation. This is a drug that is so mass produced, it costs six cents a tablet and that same month, Indian suppliers sold nearly $3 million USD worth. Yet no one in the Australian government thought to phone Indiamart and put in an order? The shortage was never the problem was it?

How many people died because ivermectin was banned?

Mortality, skull, deathOne study of 8,300 people in Brazil showed that taking ivermectin regularly before catching Covid halved the odds of catching it, and reduced mortality by 92%. Prophylactic use reduced hospitalization by 98%, and in a dose dependent manner.

If unvaccinated people were threatening our hospital system, it was only ever because they were denied ivermectin by unaccountable, unelected government committees.

Over 20 countries adopted ivermectin for COVID-19. The evidence base is much larger than typically used to approve drugs.

In the end, about 20,000 people died of Covid in Australia, many of who might have been saved, but there have also been some 15,000 Australians who died unexpectedly in 2022, who theoretically might not have died, if their doctors had had the freedom to treat them the way they felt was best. And then there are the businesses destroyed, the billions of dollars wasted, and those who live on, but suffer long term spike related injuries via either long covid or the TGA approved “carrots”.

Craig Kelly: this may have something to do with the former TGA head being sued for misfeasance:

Someone asked “why now”? Craig Kelly replied:

… the TGA couldn’t hold out forever, as their senior management were risking being personally sued for Malfeasance given the tsunami of evidence rolling in, showing that Ivermectin is highly effective against Covid. Although this is a time for celebration, we should stop and spare a thought for the thousands of Australians that lost their lives in this war, that died unnecessarily from Covid because the TGA denied them access to this life saving Ivermectin. It’s now time for the war crime trials and reparations. @CKellyUAP

“I think the fact that the recently retired head of TGA was being sued personally for his conduct. It put the new head of the TGA on notice, that they were potentially personally liable – plus the weight of recent studies showing Ivermectin was highly effective. If they maintained the ban, there was a real personal risk, and they’d have no chance defending the ban on merit. — @CKellyUAP

Last week Australians sued the Government for Vaccine related injuries

The former TGA head is named in the Class Action. Professor Skerritt (head of the TGA) retired on April 18.

The Applicant alleges that the Respondents’ actions to advance the acceptance and use of the various approved Covid-19 vaccines constitutes negligence and/or misfeasance.

The ivermectin studies continue to roll in, now up to trials involving  135,000 people:

UPDATED: The wonder drug that disappeared

If you only email friends one link — make it this story. It’s the biggest medical scandal since 1850— Why is a cheap safe drug being actively surpressed– because it threatens the Emergency Use Authorisations for all experimental vaccines, an industry worth around $100 billion. The Australian TGA admitted it banned the safe drug because people might not get vaxxed. Pfizer and other companies would be crazy, nutso, bonkers, and doing their shareholders a disservice if they did not lobby, cajole, scare, smear and call in all their favours to make sure there would never be a cheap safe alternative.

In desperation, some Americans are going to court to get rulings to order doctors to use Ivermectin on their loved ones. One family hired a helicopter to take their mother away from intensive care in a hospital that refused to give Ivermectin and saved her.

Ivermectin is so safe doctors fed it to primary school children. It has been used to virtually eliminate Covid in Japan, Uttar Pradesh, and in Indonesia where it cut Covid by 98% at the same time cases in Australia grew 500% with Lock-n-Vax. There are also success stories from Peru, Brazil, and Mexico.

For peer reviewed studies read: The BIG Ivermectin Review: It may prevent 86% of Covid cases. In vitro, Ivermectin reduces viral loads 5000 fold in 48 hours. There are no less than 96 studies involving 135,000 people that show improvements in over 85% when used prophylactically, 62% when used early and even as many as 43% with late-started treatment.

There are 20 known mechanisms of action: IVM binds to ACE2, the spike, and TMPSSR2, it is a zinc ionophore, it binds to a protease the virus needs, prevents key viral proteins getting into the cell nucleus which would normally allow the virus to shut down interferon signalling to warn neighboring cells. It’s anti-inflammatory, it blocks the NF-κB pathway, which will reduce Akt/mTOR signalling, which inhibits PAK1 which reduces STAT3 and IL-6. STAT3 induces C-reactive protein (or CRP). It’s impossible for Covid to mutate around all these mechanisms at once. No leaky vaccine should be given without an anti-viral because it risks the mutation of a nastier virus that escapes our immunity. Read the horror of Marek’s disease in chickens. 50 years of leaky vaccines created a disease worse than Ebola.  It’s 100% fatal in ten days for unvaccinated chickens.

The FDA and others will say that Ivermectin was no help in the TOGETHER trial, but that trial was designed to fail. People were given low doses on an empty stomach when it wouldn’t be absorbed. And why are other drugs like Remdesivir approved with only one trial and iffy results? Ivermectin is so safe some 3.7 billion doses have already been used around the world. The inventors won a Nobel Prize for its discovery in 2015. By July 2021 there were already signs Ivermectin could save as many as 50%. Why were large trials not started then? The UK “Principle” trial was also designed to fail from the start — signing up people up to 15 days after they tested positive.

Why are all the vaccine contracts still secret? Say hello Serf to your new Head of State, Mr Pfizer?

    This is great news, but of course, too late because lots of people have already died unnecessarily due to unavailability of this drug.

    Any why wait until June 1st? It should be approved immediately.

    There was never any danger to be assessed by the TGA. That is a lie by the TGA. Its safety profile has been extensively documented for a long time.

    People need to be sued over this.

    Those who wanted to force poorly tested or untested experimental drugs into you and not use proven treatments such as IVM, taken according to proper protocols, want us to forget about their incompetence. E.g. they want a “pandemic amnesty”. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/covid-response-forgiveness/671879/

      And of course, today vaccinations are not mandatory, everybody is free to make their own choices yet my grand daughter studying nursing will not be allowed to continue in her chosen career unless she gets vaccinated.
      With this new information as support I am sure we could put forward a good case to her University, however even if she won a court case I am sure she would go from being a
      “distinctions” student to some how not making the grade. No one will be allowed to buck the system.

        It’s not the fault of the university. Your daughter will need to do placements as part of her degree. The vaccination requirement is forced by the lowest common denominator of all workplaces she may visit. Typically it is the state health departments as they employ most nurses. The university’s role is to make your daughter employable and placement is part of AHPRA course accreditation.

        For example
        https://www.health.qld.gov.au/employment/work-for-us/apply-for-a-job/pre-employment/vaccines/conditions

        Just so I’m not misunderstood, I think these ongoing mandates are abominable. I have first-hand experience with your daughter’s plight.

          Sadly vaccinations are seen as the “only” way to go yet we use so many drugs as prophylactics. The administrators cannot / will not allow any other point of view yet they are allegedly medically trained. Why can’t ivermectin be taken prophylactically, after all we take anti malarials before travelling to risky areas to prvent disease.
          Even heart medications could be seen as prophylactic, reduce blood pressure BEFORE it becomes a problem etc. etc.
          It seems that the only way is their way, regardless of cost.
          Interestingly there is a major shortage of qualified nurses, yet no way can be seen to allow more people to take the the profession. It is bizarre that we actively discourage people from working in an area where there is huge staff shortage issues.

      What makes it worse is that it is not a bloody vaccine by any measure! You catch and spread covid worse than unvaxxed (which was plain as day in my workplace). On top of that, young people have virtually zero problems with covid. This is criminal.

    Cancel the order for the next 5 shots and buy 5 courses of Ivermectin instead.
    Better still cancel the entire concept of mass treatment for a single strand mRNA respiratory virus and allow the normal supply chain and an informed Doctor to discus the treatment with the patient.

        I my lady, & 2 of my adult kids contracted Covid just a few weeks. I had Ziverdo kits, personally imported at considerable trouble in reserve. Used by Uttar Pradesh to stop Covid there, they contain just 3 ivermectin 12mg pills, plus zinc & an antibiotic.

        We all used a kit each. In my case all symptoms disappeared in just 52 hours.

        I’m 83, & never jabbed so probably likely to have had had a bad result.

    Do you recall that as recently as February 3, 2023, the clowns at TGA renewed their ban on Ivermectin? (No offence intended to the clown community, who unlike TGA, are actually useful members of society).

    And the way they describe Ivermectin is as though it is the most toxic poison known to mankind. There is no evidence for this, including for the higher doses required for prophylaxis or treatment of covid.

    And yet here we are just 3 months later and it is all OK now.

      Reply to DM #6:
      Section 2.2 of the linked “interim decisions 32 november 2022.pdf” does not appear to contain the removal of the ban.
      The correct link is
      https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/removal-prescribing-restrictions-ivermectin
      dated 3 May 2023

      “From 1 June 2023, prescribing of oral ivermectin for ‘off-label’ uses will no longer be limited to specialists such as dermatologists, gastroenterologists and infectious diseases specialists.

      In its final decision published today, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has removed the restriction through its scheduling in the Poisons Standard because there is sufficient evidence that the safety risks to individuals and public health is low when prescribed by a general practitioner in the current health climate.

      This considers the evidence and awareness of medical practitioners about the risks and benefits of ivermectin, and the low potential for any shortages of ivermectin for its approved uses. Also, given the high rates of vaccination and hybrid immunity against COVID-19 in Australia, use of ivermectin by some individuals is unlikely to now compromise public health.

      However, the TGA does not endorse off-label prescribing of ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.”

      Read on. This is very much a “Yes – but ” contrivance. It can go both ways. It might cover a few backsides, but would also need a creative interpretation by a prescribing physician. Better than nothing I suppose.

      3/ As per the TGA’s weak excuses, the situation is now different (don’t mention that there are more “Covid deaths” now than there were when ivermectin was banned).

    The depth of this problem /scandal runs way to deep to ever allow the truth to surface through the court /legal system .I was optimistic about a particular case in point where Julian Gillespie (retired barrister) was trying to get a case to gain standing in the High Court against further “approved use” by the TGA of theses so-called vaccines -they are nothing but experimental gene therapies with hardly any data on their efficacy. And so now nothing has come up about this case gaining any standing !!! Well its now quite obvious to me that no justice will ever be had in relation to these dangerous therapies.Why? because to many vested interests will keep this fiasco buried.And who are they?

    A. Governments who signed secret contracts with these Pharmaceutical companies which allowed them not be taken to court over any injuries that may occur from the use of their so called “vaccines”
    B. The MSM who continually ran Government approved scare stories about daily stats on deaths and cases ,masks lock downs etc etc and for doing this they were given massive tax breaks-also they ran lots of propaganda against the use of Ivermectin without any evidence to show that it was harmful.
    C. The legal system ,courts of law etc -just think of Extinction Rebelion individuals who disrupt the lives of other people and Judges/Magistrates just let them go free.
    So think!! if they do this for useful idiots then they are never going to let this house of cards fall down its plainly not in their interests or their masters(Governments ,MSM etc)

    Imagine the following scenario:

    If that had to be, Pfizer et al fraudsters would go bankrupt within a few years because nobody will be taking the annual flu jabs.

    The thing is that Ivermectin is nearly there.

    Ivermectin cures an infected human being at all the stages of a Wuhan virus infection. The WHO organisation had described Ivermectin as a miracle medicine, not long ago. I think it ws 2003.

    Primum non nocere

    “First do no harm” was once a basic principle of medicine.

    That went out the window with covid, and possibly a long time before that.

    How many doctors and other medical professionals involved in giving their patients untested or poorly tested covid “vaccines” can honestly say they followed that?

    From the beginning there was evidence that the covid vaccines on offer were dangerous and ineffective, and that evidence was readily available.

    And even before the vaccines were available there was evidence that HCQ taken according to appropriate protocols was effective (and it was always known to be safe). And after that, evidence for the efficacy of Ivermectin taken according to appropriate protocols (it was also always known to be safe).

    Many doctors who had actually done their homework, refused to give these toxic vaccines. It puts those who did give them in an interesting position. They could claim “They were just following orders”. But that excuse has no legal validity since WW2.

    Long overdue. But two doors remain. First, to get a GP to write a suitable prescription. And, secondly, finding a pharmacist who will fill the script. The TGA has only lifted a ban, not recommended the use of Ivermectin. Media will show a marked disinterest in this development. It’s only a few weeks since the Australian ridiculed a candidate in the NSW election for recommending use of a “horse cure”. Still, this is small bright spot in a time increasingly devoid of hope.

      Before IVM was banned, there were some compounding pharmacies making the appropriate 12mg and 24mg pills rather than the standard 3mg pills used for parasite treatment.

    The worldometer site is updating CV -19 cases deaths, recoveries etc and top of this link it states 3 May 2023.
    But I’m amazed at some of the low death rates for very poor African countries, but we know that IVM use is very high in that continent.
    But most very wealthy countries have much higher deaths per million rates than most very poor countries.
    Australian death rate is 778 per million, Taiwan is similar, NZ is lower than OZ, the USA is 3469 per million and most EU countries are nearly as high.
    But Japan death rate is just 594 per million and yet their average age is about 47 yrs compared to other wealthy countries of about 35 to 38yrs.
    China death rate of 4 per million is a joke. Taiwan is about the same as Aussies.

      The African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) was launched in 1995 with the objective of controlling onchocerciasis in the remaining endemic countries in Africa and closed at the end of 2015 after beginning the transition to onchocerciasis elimination. Its main strategy was the establishment of sustainable community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) and vector control with environmentally-safe methods where appropriate. In APOC’s final year, more than 119 million people were treated with ivermectin, and many countries had greatly decreased the morbidity associated with onchocerciasis. More than 800,000 people in Uganda and 120,000 people in Sudan no longer required ivermectin by the time that APOC closed.”

    All the TGA’s actions are the ultimate consequence of the failure to teach critical thinking skills in schools ever since the Left infiltrated the education system in the 1960’s (Rudi Dutschke’s long march through the institutions) plus the Left’s false idea, contrary to the scientific method, that scientific fact is established by “consensus”.

    On top of all that there are the post-modernism views of the Left which state that there is no such thing as objective reality. Reality is whatever you make it – as long as it’s in accordance with their beliefs, otherwise they’ll “cancel” you.

      The reasons for the TGA’s actions are a bit darker than ‘consensus’ or ‘lack of critical thinking skills’. When they are majority funded by Big Pharma, they simply rubber stamp what their masters tell them. Conflict of interest at it’s most dastardly. Only partially counteracted by self-preservation in the face of possible personal legal liability for their actions.

        Most people who are desperate just order it from Indian suppliers. They will send you your “T’shirts” in very well hidden packages. Sounds dodgy, I know, but they are all legit products. Which is why it was stupid of the TGA to restrict IVM in Australia, because probably lots of people ordered it from India. IVM should almost literally be like Panadol or Nurofen, every household should have at least 10 tablets of 12 mg dose ( + the other cocktail components) in their medicine cabinet. Not only for treating COVID, but also for the flu. So this would cancel any need to go to the doctor for a prescription. In fact, we probably should have been treating the flu with IVM for the last 10 years!

        Hi Neville, I suggest you find a GP who works with a compounding pharmacy to make the appropriate dose pills. Or, why not call some compounding pharmacies and ask do they make IVM pills of the appropriate dose (or will do so after June 1st) and ask which GP prescribes it (since they will know from before it was banned).

          Whilst the lives that potentially would’ve been saved the actual financial cost has been huge. If you are a senior over 70 the government will pay for you to get a dose of antivirals that I believe cost something like a $1000. Ivermectin costs a pittance and without knowing the facts probably works as well.We have wasted literally billions of dollars on the government response to COVID and we desperately need an independent enquiry to assess what happened.
          I would like to think that there will be some accountability for those that have behaved reprehensibly and hopefully there will be consequences. Government and public service heads along with Pharmaceutical CEOs should all be sued and in some cases charged with criminal offences

      Ziverdo kits and Ivermectin were available from India all the way thru the “pandemic”, none of the multiple orders by our friends were stopped or confiscated! Ziverdo = Zinc, Ivermectin and doxycycline.

      Hold those horses David.
      Let us not start another toilet paper type rush.
      Much better to continue with the everything in moderation. Remember in 2020 there were few deaths in Australia outside of the Victorian nursing homes ‘with Covid’ and we may have been red lining the PCR tests.
      No doubt the SARS Cov2 was being detected in surveillance around the world (Washington State had it at about 2 – 5 % of those presenting with Flu like symptoms) and that deaths were occurring in Panic ridden health systems in some countries. Remember the absence of influenza reporting from weeks 11 to 14 though the flu still appeared to rage in the mortality data recorded as Pneumonia & Influenza deaths.
      Remember the instruction to report anyone with a cough or runny nose as suspected Covid19 in a special category on death certificates.

      One small question, are you going to stock up on hydroxychloroquine as those malaria prone countries close to China had little if any infection in 2020?

      Please note I am not being facetious, just suggesting we should focus on the main story which to this day is recommending the ‘clot shot’ as safe and effective on continuous rotation in the media. Should litigation re-focus on the emergency use authorization now Ivermectin is a potentially safe treatment.

        The criminals hope no one notices how effective hard borders were. Don’t let them hide that. Australia had virtually no Covid cases at all in 2020 because we closed our borders, not because Covid was nice. It wasn’t smallpox or the spanish flu, but it was worse than influenza. There really were almost no cases of Covid here. We had more testing and yet the lowest test positivity rate in the world with something like 2,000 to 5,000 tests to find each positive case.

        As I have said, the disappearance of influenza looks suspicious but is basic microbiology. Influenza cases were down 85% across 17 countries. The same laws of microbiology work all over the world. When we do things to slow down a virus that spreads with an Ro of 2 – 3 it is inevitable that we will stop viruses that spread more slowly — and influenza has an Ro of 1.4. It is just maths. When the Ro is pushed under 1 with quarantine/distancing the exponential curve is shrinking. It will trend to zero.

        It was textbook virology that influenza would disappear as borders were closed and people stayed home. It’s worth knowing influenza did not return to WA until the borders were opened. Pathology labs here were doing 300 -800 tests for influenza each week here for a whole year, and finding zero cases.

        The main story is indeed the corruption and capture of government agencies, as you said. We must always work to get the science right. No point in fighting the wrong battles.

          Jo, the same thing happens in plant pathology with fungal diseases. Crop diseases like Late blight (Phytophthora infestans ) of potato can exist as multiple races, even on different crops. However, there is always one predominant race that has a superior ability to outgun the other inferior races. The inferior races are still present in the disease mix, but at much lower % predominance. But, if you take out the predominant race eg with fungicides, the less dominant races then take over. Sometimes this is called disease resistance whereas it’s just race shifting. The flu was simply outgunned by COVID as you describe and couldn’t compete. But it would still be there lurking around, maybe even in some other species? They’re viruses, you cant hide from them and they will do whatever they like.

There would be a Dan Murphy delivery on the doorstep and a note they had gone to get fuel and have a walk on the beach.

    Ivermectin is an anti-lice, antifungal drug. At the time of the ban
    (a) there seemed to be no reason to suppose it would work on covid
    (b) there were no credible studies that said it worked
    (c) there were no clinical trials (in part because no-one would pay for a trial of a generic drug and let other manufacturers of it reap the benefits)

    On top of that, one must wonder if Pfizer and Moderna imposed any restrictions in their contracts with various countries, especially restrictions about what other drugs could be used against covid. (It would be basically like having an exclusive deal rather than one with open competition.)

    Over time credible anecdotal evidence of its efficacy has appeared and personally I think the TGA was wrong to ignore that evidence.

    227

    • #
      David Maddison

      Many drugs have multiple uses beyond their original purposes. Ivermectin was originally used as an anti-parasitic drug, anti-fungal and anti-lice came later. And then other uses beyond that such as anti-viral.

      There were numerous credible studies to show IVM was effective long before covid vaccines were available. Some studies were specifically designed to fail, such as not administering it in accordance with appropriate protocols such as incorrect dose or no zinc.

      It was never correct to ban it.

      No John, IVM was known to have activity vs nearly all single strand mRNA virus diseases, prior to 2020. The knowledge was already there, just censored and hidden by big pharma. One of the first research groups to highlight its potential in Australia was a group based at Monash Uni in Victoria early 2020. This is like all the COVID policies, the wrong experts were listened to.

    The lie of this situation is that the TGA , probably along with APRHA, restricted the use of an already approved pharmaceutical in Australia, for really no good reason. IVM was already registered for use in Australia for scabies and Rosacea (?). So if it was already approved by that regulatory authority its safety profile was also acceptable. In fact Australia was very fortunate because we at least had it already approved for human use, whereas a lot of other countries didn’t. The TGA can only review ( and approve ) pharmaceuticals or new uses of old active ingredients via an application process. Some company has to put up the dollars, amass a supportive data package and then present it to the TGA, for their review. The TGA do not autonomously go out and do their own research or literature reviews. They are at the behest of pharma companies. They can only review what they have been given. But supposedly we had an “emergency”, where you would hope extraordinary actions needed to be taken. It would have been great to do some Australian trials with IVM ( + HCQ + the numerous other possible candidates) but of course most of the country was in lockdown and there literally was no COVID to test against. Hence. all data would have been from overseas trials. But as this article points out and also via (https://c19early.org/)website there are oodles of studies that could have constituted a data package. It’s certainly negligence by the TGA and to be quite honest its bordering on criminal.

    It is issues such as these that behoves parents to review the way they talk about careers to their children.

    Now it is clear that we have no rights to bodily integrity, to making our own health decisions if employed in certain careers or trades, our children need to know from an early age – like at early school age. You cannot be a doctor, a nurse, a carer, a teacher, a physio, or even in many office jobs unless you submit to being multiply jabbed. Our children will need to know they need some sort of trade that will not require them to hand over their health and potentially their lives to the dominant ethos of the ruling classes.

    And those of us who are past it all, will need to provide mentorship and personal support to anyone who is going against the mainstream push for total control of their bodies, their minds and souls.

However, the TGA ban has been lifted maybe a year ago. A dermatologist has recommended to put Condy’s crystal in the bath to kill off a skin complaint. As someone above has said the TGA needs to be cleaned up and let GP and specialists try treatments that may work.

      I have no doubt that the TGA kills more people than it might possibly claim to save.

    Dr. McCullough Discovers Alarming Study Out Of China: “mRNA Technology Has Just Entered a Whole New, Much Darker Phase”

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/dr-mccullough-discovers-alarming-study-out-of-china-mrna-technology-has-just-entered-a-whole-new-much-darker-phase/

    “Children could be targeted with easily administered oral vaccine dosing or potentially get mRNA through milk at school lunches and other unsupervised meals. For those who have taken one of the COVID-19 vaccines, having milk vaccines as an EUA offering would allow even more loading of the body with synthetic mRNA which has been proven resistant to ribonucleases and may reside permanently in the human body…

    mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on, and resistance to, mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.”

    Indeed, many more reports have surfaced recently of farmers in the USA and EU using mRNA-based vaccines on their livestock to “help protect against disease.”

    Preprint from medRxiv
    Why COVID-19 is not so spread in Africa: How does Ivermectin affect it?

    Conclusions
    The morbidity and mortality in the onchocerciasis endemic countries are lesser than those in the non-endemic ones. The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant reduction in mortality.

    I did some checking back in Jan 31 2022 (Statista & Our world in data) and in every African country using Ivermectin, under the WHO programs, they had lower Covid deaths/million pop than Australia.
    I also noticed that The Conversation had this article:
    The impact of COVID-19 has been lower in Africa. We explore the reasons
    Nowhere in the article did they mention Ivermectin use.

      Some time ago l noticed Nigeria’s death rates for covid were remarkably low. The country’s population is approximately 211 million.
      As the vaccine mandates were about to take effect in Australia during late 2021, the number for covid deaths in Nigeria was 2,071 vs Australia 1,290 (September 30th 2021, source: worldometers). Fast forward to today- Nigeria 3,155 deaths vs Australia’s 20,410

      00

      • #

        Bear in mind these comparisons are fraught. Nigeria did almost no testing where Australia and New Zealand did more than nearly anywhere in the world. So most cases and deaths in Nigeria were not recorded.

        The OWID data is a log scale on both axis. These differences are vast. There is virtually no data from Nigeria.

        We’d expect Nigeria to do better than the West given that Covid mortality rates rise exponentially as people age and it is a much younger country — media age = 17. Australia media age = 37 OWID AGe data. Plus people there probably have more Vitamin D, spend more time outdoors, and yes, have more access to ivermectin, and less access to ventilators, remdesivir etc. But age is the single largest factor in mortality for Covid, by a mile. And testing is the single largest factor in cases by a mile too.

    The Rise of COVID-19 Vaccines for Animals

    Thousands of animals have had their shot already. How many more really need it?

    Chris Baraniuk

    Dec 9, 2021 | 6 min read

    For the cheetah, getting her vaccine was no big deal. When the wildlife care specialist at San Diego Zoo Safari Park called to her, she paced over and then sat, quiet and calm, to receive her injection.

    “The animal participates in this process and can walk away at any time,” explains Nadine Lamberski, head of wildlife health at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. It’s the close relationship between wildlife specialists at San Diego and the animals they look after, she adds, that makes this gentle approach to vaccination possible.

    Roughly 260 animals, of many different species, have now received an experimental COVID-19 vaccine at San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Most animals “volunteered” like the cheetahs, says Lamberski, though some were vaccinated from afar via darts.

    While SARS-CoV-2 has caused illness and millions of deaths among humans, multiple nonhuman animal species have turned out to be susceptible to it, too. This has led to the development and use of veterinary vaccines, mainly in zoos—but the question of which species need to be immunized, now or in the future, remains an open one.

      In the early days of Covid someone explained how they would accelerate the firmness of any RNA changes by using animals to pass it through generations. Some odd thing like a Chinese hamster was common, or members of the mustelid family. Anyway, there will be a family of animals that will have a particular action to Covid, depending on what they used.

    Interesting that the States and State Premiers/Health Officers who imposed requirements to be vaccinated and coerced people into getting vaccinated aren’t being sued in the class action. Surely they’re more culpable. Yes, the Federal Govt gave provisional approval and encouraged the use of covid vaccines. But it was the States making it difficult for people to say no with threats to earning an income and exclusion from full participation in society.

      Strop, I would assume the state leaders would say it wasn’t their job to figure out if the vaccines were safe — that was the TGA’s job.

      We hope though, given the TGA failure on safety this time that when the next pandemic comes (it’s on the way) that excuse won’t work. We need to lay the groundwork now to make sure State leaders know that we expect them to be culpable for damages caused by mandates. It’s their job to check the data, to question the TGA on our behalf, to get independent advice.

We need names- I am sick of every decision being a committee or group effort of some sort. Having lost my brother to TWO Turbocancers, I have not forgotten the Jab Jab which turns out to have promoted Covid infection as well as a host of nasty adverse effects. Yet they have not banned the JabJab! BTW The cost of Ivermectin is 15 CENTS A WEEK. The only side effect noted with Ivermectin is better night vision.

      What are the common treatments for rosacea?

      There is no permanent cure for rosacea. There is nothing you can do to prevent rosacea from starting. However, treatments can ease the symptoms and can be really effective. The treatments used may vary, depending on what symptoms develop. Treatment may need to be adjusted over time, depending on your response to treatments and if you develop different symptoms.

      So you now know more than the experts. 😀

        Well when I had rosacea for decades the docs tried all sorts of treatments on me promising me every time that this one would work. Not one treatment, some very painful, worked, nor did they ease the symptoms. I look also at lots of other people who have been given that diagnosis and none of them got better with all the prescriptions either.

        It was only when I turned my back on medicine and took charge of my own health, improving my immune function did it go away. Could it come back? It only came back when I did a few things that I know I mustn’t do.

    Back in 2017, the now-woke journal Nature was once full of praise for the “wonder drug” Ivermectin.

    Published: 15 February 2017
    Review Article

    Ivermectin: enigmatic multifaceted ‘wonder’ drug continues to surprise and exceed expectations

    Abstract
    Over the past decade, the global scientific community have begun to recognize the unmatched value of an extraordinary drug, ivermectin, that originates from a single microbe unearthed from soil in Japan. Work on ivermectin has seen its discoverer, Satoshi Ōmura, of Tokyo’s prestigious Kitasato Institute, receive the 2014 Gairdner Global Health Award and the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with a collaborating partner in the discovery and development of the drug, William Campbell of Merck & Co. Incorporated. Today, ivermectin is continuing to surprise and excite scientists, offering more and more promise to help improve global public health by treating a diverse range of diseases, with its unexpected potential as an antibacterial, antiviral and anti-cancer agent being particularly extraordinary.

    If your are into chemistry or just interested in science per se, the “mectin” group are a fascinating read. Not only do we have IVM, isolated as a soil microbe decades ago we also have its siblings and cousins (at least 6) used in livestock for all sorts of parasite control. They are all part of a larger chemical group called the macrocyclic lactones. You can pour on a small quantity of product eg moxidectin on the back of a 500 kg steer and its is absorbed through the skin of the beast to provide INTERNAL worm and parasite control for weeks. No drenching needed, so handling cattle is greatly simplified. IVM’s direct sibling , abamectin, is also used an an insecticide in crop protection. The beauty of that is that any agricultural chemical undergoes strict multi year toxicological studies that investigate any possible carcinogenic, reproduction , skin or beneficial species effects. The rigor of these studies is arguably more intense for a eg. cattle wormer than it is for an equivalent human use. Most people would think the opposite, surely you would do more intense studies for human products? Nup. Once a new pharmaceutical establishes some efficacy it is fast tracked and side effects become a low priority. So not only does IVM have an incredible safety profile after about 3 billion human doses, its also has an incredible toxicological analysis. IVM, arguably is the safest pharmaceutical on the market.

    MANY MANY thanks for this story and thank you SO much for linking to the “Letters From Australia” story about the Class Action written by my dear friend Alison Bevage. The Class Action was launched last week by Dr Melissa McCann.

    The story Alison wrote about in such a beautiful manner is partly about the death of my brother, Dr Barry Schultz, 18 days after his first SA Health mandated Pfizer “jab”.

    Spectator Australia has also published a story about the Class Action on Saturday 29 April 2023 as well. This includes my brother’s story as well – link below.

    Spectator Australia

    There are many thousands of other harrowing stories regarding deaths and long term debilitating injuries following the Covid “jab” and I’m SO grateful to all those like yourself Jo, and Alison who are brave enough to tell the truth which is conveniently ignored by the MSM and governemnts world wide.

    For any Australians who have suffered losses or been injured by Covid “jabs” please go to the Class Action website to register at the link below.

    Currently, they are seeking donations to assist with the Class Action, and if successful ALL donations will be refunded. The monies are for distribution to the participants of the Class Action only – link below.

    The people on the medical boards do not know the facts and do not want to know the facts. They are employed to ensure that government policy is enacted. That policy is in the best interest of all the people with power, so the best interest of big pharma and the political lice that feed off them. They are not interested in the arguments against their policies, those are unacceptable, the policies must be enacted and, if necessary, enforced. Why would they care about the arguments against? Just listening to the arguments against would be seen as recognising the credibility of the enemy, so they will not, do not and basically cannot if they want to keep their jobs.

    They signed up to kill people for big pharma when they accepted the generous opportunity of sitting on the medical board. Don’t expect any more from these people other than self interest, which we see as the motivation for this latest manoeuvre.

      As usual, any study can be rendered useless by starting treatment too late. This study was designed to fail.

      Study staff verified eligibility criteria including age of 30 years or older, SARS-CoV-2 infection within 10 days (positive polymerase chain reaction or antigen test result, including home-based tests), and experiencing at least 2 symptoms of acute COVID-19 for no more than 7 days from enrollment.

      Viruses multiply on an exponential curve where 1 –> 1000 in a matter of 10 hours or something. Starting anyone after day 4 or so means that person has already hit peak viral load. It still helps, but not much. That reduces the significance — blurs the benefits.

      What a junk study:

      Participants who were eligible to receive both ivermectin and fluvoxamine 50 mg but were randomized to the fluvoxamine-matched placebo group were included in and contributed to the placebo group for ivermectin.

      So the “control” group was also receiving a beneficial drug. Another way to “blur” results making ivermectin look no better than a sugar pill when actually it was being compared sometimes to a drug that the FLCCC also recommends.

      Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 was allowable, as was concurrent use of standard therapies for COVID-19 available under US Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization or approval.

      There is no mention I can see of whether participants were told to take the drugs with meals either. Taking it without food reduces the effective dose by fivefold.

      Also all doctors recommending Ivermectin, recommend it combined with zinc.

      Therefore any study that doesn’t include zinc and claims Ivermectin “doesn’t work” is junk.

        It contains good supportive evidence for the efficacy of IVM against the covid virus, even when administered quite late. And should have been evaluated and accepted before any Emergency Use Authorisation was granted for the “vaccines”.
        Unfortunately, as it was published in July, 2020, the results pre-date the release of the “vaccines” so do not provide any answers to my question.

    None of the above surprises me since I have almost finished reading “The Real Anthony Fauci” by Robert F Kennedy Jr. I am on p427 of 449 in Chapter 12, “Germ Games”. In this Kennedy details how the US Defense Dept, CIA, Bill Gates, Fauci, Rbert Kadlec and many others use war games to simulate pandemics thereby determining how populations can controlled and manipulated.It is telling that not once is the use of existing drugs considered, only (shonky) ‘vaccines’ are considered. The Covid pandemic was planned for 2025-2027. It came six years earlier. It is also worth noting that Fauci et al were actively and illegally engaged in and promoting, gain of function on bat viruses.
    One small section that really appalled me, on p411,was about behaviour control by combining brain research with big data. This would enable behaviour and thought control and the challenge to people’s sacred identities.
    Jo’s website provides an important means of countering this dark, government sanctioned, wickedness.
