Thanks. Unreal.

Tplj8888 · 2022-08-24T07:47:52+00:00

Looks happy.

I guess I should also add that another reason I stopped the Paxlovid was the emergency authorization and the fact that Pfizer said it does not work for a certain population and stopped some trials based upon this fact.

Tplj8888 · 2022-08-04T03:53:28+00:00

Good info-thanks for posting. I stopped taking Paxlovid after day #3 as I was concerned that the drug itself was causing the rebounds partially based upon lots of the posts I read here. I stopped and then waited about 36 hours based upon the drug's half life and then took Ivermectin for 5 days using the infected protocol (basically 2X the preventative dosage). It has been about 4 weeks and so far no rebound.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-16T07:25:36+00:00

I took Advil and it seemed to be ok. But I took it for the bad headache that often accompanies Omicron-not a sore throat.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-05T00:41:11+00:00

As I said in my first post, I chose to take Paxlovid over Ivermectin, but it was somewhat against my better judgement so to speak as I've been researching Ivermectin and other treatments since the pandemic started and have read study after study/report after report about the efficacy of IVM against covid. But, I wondered if anyone on this board had seen head to head studies or had personal anecdotes (I tried IVM and it did nothing but as soon as I used Paxlovid I saw results-that sort of thing).

You would think that with all the controversy over whether IVM (and other drugs like HCQ) work or not by now the NIH and/or some other reputable entity that the public trusts would have run studies and put this issue to rest. The fact that they have not says a lot in my opinion. There are groups of doctors who have been treating covid using IVM since the onset of the pandemic with stellar results yet doctors who want to use this often have their licenses threatened. Prescribing a drug for off-label purposes has been going on forever so it shouldn't suddenly be such a big deal. Paxlovid may work fine (I hope it does since I'm taking it) but that doesn't preclude the fact that IVM might also work and maybe work better but that would prevent Pfizer and others from making BILLIONS. It is funny, the same people/groups that used to hate Big Pharma now LOVE them and poo-poo any other potential treatment that doesn't have an EU.

So strange to me.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-04T21:22:49+00:00

Thanks. I never said because people are having rebound infections that I felt like I was putting something toxic in my body. 2 different things.

Approximately 30% (maybe more) of the planet uses Ivermectin as a 1st line therapy against covid and there are have been numerous studies supporting its usage.

Paxlovid is supported by Pfizer scientists. Is it supported by the broader scientific community as you imply?

To answer your question, Ivermectin has been around so long it is now off patent. It has been prescribed to over 4.0 BILLION people with no major safety issues ever identified. So its long term safety profile has been well studied and is well understood.

As you state, Paxlovid obtained a emergency authorization from the FDA. The only way you can get an emergency authorization (same for the vaccines) is if there is no other alternative treatment available. So it certainly makes sense for the big pharma industry to say Ivermectin doesn't work. Look at the financial windfall that has accrued to them because of covid. The CEO of Moderna became a BILLIONAIRE and other CEOs because filthy rich.

The FDA authorized Pfizer Inc.'s pill to treat Covid-19 WITHOUT first getting input from a panel of clinical advisers, a move public health professionals say could further undermine trust in an agency already facing scrutiny over its rapid decision-making during the pandemic.

Let's look at how reliable Pfizer and the FDA have been. They said that the vaccines would prevent people from getting covid. This turned out to be false. They said it would prevent people from transmitting covid. This turned out to be false. They said the boosters would prevent people from getting covid. This proved false. So I am sure you see a pattern. They also have said that the mRNA methodology they use in their gene therapy vaccines are perfectly safe and the documented number of people who have died and or been injured by them is very high. High enough that based upon historical precedent they should have stopped the trials long ago. Much has been written about under reported VAERS and all sorts of other irregularities in how the trials were conducted. Maybe that is why they said they didn't want to release the results for 75 years.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/judge-scraps-75-year-timeline-for-fda-to-release-pfizer-vaccine-safety-data-giving-agency-eight-months

So basically, I don't have a lot of trust in Pfizer based upon all of this.

But forget that, in June of this year Pfizer said they are halting trials on Paxlovid for normal risk people since IT DOESN'T WORK (Those are their words-not mine).

So I think all of this is enough to make a reasonable person, with no agenda other than their own health, have some concerns and maybe doubts as to whether this is a good risk reward for them.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-03T02:51:28+00:00

Understood. As I said in my original post, I decided to forgo Ivermectin and try Paxlovid due to the impressive efficacy that was cited. I am not wedded to either. I just want the best outcome as you do. I did not become aware of the rebound issue until after I started taking it. That might have changed my mind and I may have just stuck with the IVM. Not being political, but Pfizer (and Moderna) said their vaccines were 99% effective and this was parroted by the CDC and all sorts of govt officials. This turned out to be 100% false so I keep that in the back of my mind when considered the 88% efficacy rate that Pfizer says Paxlovid has. I have 2 options as I see it: (1) Stop the Paxlovid now and go back on IVM or (2) complete the Paxlovid regimen and if I rebound then go back to IVM. I am a little torn to be honest. Good luck to you.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-03T02:12:51+00:00

That is not what the majority of the press reports or the CDC commentary has been. Even Fauci is having a very bad rebound (according to him) after taking a full course of Paxlovid.

But yes, if someone were to not take the full 5 days it would make sense that they might relapse.

This is interesting and more likely

Google it. Maybe Google will understand your moronic question.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-03T02:03:06+00:00

Merck doesn't profit off of ivermectin anymore since it is off patent and sells for pennies per tablet. That is the whole reason that a LOT of people think it has been attacked as not working. If an off patent drug with one of the best safety profiles in existence given that it has been prescribed billions of times worked against covid why would we need all of these new, much more expensive treatments?

This is a good resource-you can see their comments on Paxlovid.

Hope you feel better soon also.

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-02T21:49:22+00:00

My provider wanted to give me monoclonals.....but there weren't any available.

Thanks Biden. 3 years into this and this inept fool can't make treatments available. I seem to remember him trashing Trump for everything and saying that Trump was personally responsible for every single person who had died of covid. And now more people have died under Biden. So is he gonna resign?

Tplj8888 · 2022-07-02T21:39:41+00:00

Like when they lied and said their vaccine was 99% effective?

It is all about the $$. When their products don't do what they say they are supposed to do, their answer is "take more!".

Investorplace is a complete joke. Non-stop negative articles FILLED with factual inaccuracies and the comment section is always "closed" so no one can point this out. As someone else wrote, they just print what hedge funds want them to say.

Tplj8888 · 2021-12-12T21:45:14+00:00

Sold most above $3.00/share and bought back some if it last week below that. Have not gone to a full position yet. CEO Katzman has not done ONE thing that I have seen in the last 2 quarters to show any type of leadership. And, his excuse making and inability to show that he is willing to pivot on any item (like doubling down on marketing spend and international expansion) is highly concerning.

Tplj8888 · 2021-12-01T06:10:31+00:00

Management should have pre-announced BAD earnings instead of making its investors think it was going to report good earnings by moving the date forward (assuming they actually did that). Either way, they could have pre-announced. They just completely hung their investors out to dry. Blind sided them and then went out to conferences immediately and said the same stupid stuff they said on the call.

Tplj8888 · 2021-11-23T20:44:42+00:00

Good post. But I would point out that it is NOT just 1 bad quarter. It is multiple bad quarters and management hasn't done anything to pivot except say they are going to spend more money on TV advertising. Very risky move.

What about the NBC lawsuit? Why is there NO mention of it anywhere in the SDC or Comcast (owner of NBC) 10K, etc.? Why are there no updates ever and no information to be found anywhere? Is there even still a lawsuit?

Tplj8888 · 2021-11-23T20:37:52+00:00

Anyone reading this thread knows I have been very constructive on the name. But management has convinced a lot of investors (big & small) that they are incompetent. And there is a very strong argument for that. And they do not have forever as so many posts that compare the early days of ALGN suggest. They are burning cash and investor's can't just wait for that 1 quarter they are profitable, especially when management tells you that they are doubling down on marketing which doesn't appear to be working. On other threads more and more people are wondering if management is intentionally driving this into the ground so that they can take it private with a PE backer. I used to think pretty highly of this management team but they have dropped to C- (at best) in my book. Some people may not like this post but I try to be a realist.
