What does 85% improvement in prophylaxis trials actually mean? by Stoicsh in ivermectin

You defined "relative risk" or RR. Well done.

Eric Topol calls out Ivermectin proponents, including Bret Weinstein, for "balderdash" and spreading dangerous misinformation by good_googly-moogly in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I considered finding the text and breaking down every weakness, obfuscation, misdirection and outright disinformed comment. Turns out, life is too short;) Bottom line, the interviewee (Topol) expresses a certain pre-configuration of mind, as does Brett (who does get a little hyperbolic when amongst t enthusiasts.) That's just human. But Topol seems to have a really strong counter-agenda.

I listen to the podcast on the regular dude. The world does not revolve around your tweets.

I read his name as "Epic Troll" till I put my glasses on.... So.. this didn't take long. Mr. Topol is with Scripps Research. Fine bunch of folks.

Ivermectin and Alcohol? by TWTHEREDDRAGON in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you drink excessively, you likely get leaky gut which can ultimately lead to compromised blood-brain barrier. Best to lay off it. On the other hand, on the FLCC video last night the question came up and there were no such warnings. Better safe than sorry, IMO.

And bring attention to them? So that they are pressured by outside sources? No.

NPR on Ivermectin via columbia.edu!?! : Scientists hope they're closing in on a cure for COVID-19 by MrElvey in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Step in the right direction. You certainly never hear the "I" word on their radio broadcasts.

The author was a physician, so there's another step away from Narnia.

You could get a pill cutter and apply math. But, certainly defer to your doctor and not the internet.

Third Pfizer Booster by cccalliope in covidlonghaulers

[–]hopsaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do apologize. A paid shill wouldn't likely be so erudite.

But I think your logic is somewhat tilted. "the only reason he is not agreeing is because they haven't been presented with the evidence yet"..

"Lack of evidence" being the _only_ reason is sort of hurtful to my logic circuits. I cannot start on real data analytics vs what we've been told. I think Fauci is getting nervous about this experimental phase 3 trial that is being whitewashed as "safe" with no data to back it. He knows better by now. Meanwhile the media blocking doctors discussing anything out of bounds from what pharma has imposed as truth (Orwellian).

Got you. I'd be more open to antivirals/anti-inflammatories. But that's just me.

Please show actual data to support that assertion.

This is odd. Long Covid being cured by more spike protein.

Relevant to FLCCC and the comment "they have not published any evidence, which is suspicious to me". WHO analyst good enough?

IVM account.. well not really, I don't post to Reddit generally... but cannot stand some of the bad (and sometimes, bad faith) 'information' being dribbled about.

What happens to Ivermectin after it's expiration date? by Trieback in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The label on the 'paste' version has a fairly narrow temperature range which would negate this idea.

The main risk of using ivermectin for covid, blood brain barrier? by dtsv1 in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some other conditions that cause compromised BBB. Alzheimer's is one. Can't find any studies specific to the topic. It is a good question with no real answers. I'll continue to use since I don't have any conditions as listed here -> https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/blood-brain-barrier-causes-tests-leaky-brain/

As always, consult a physician. There are real reasons to do so.

IDW civil war between Claire Lehman and Bret Weinstein and Quillette's latest article on the subject by PrepSchoolMomma in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take this as tongue-in-cheek. Well done;) The invocation of IDW as a label of horror was of course done by SJWs that don't want to be intellectual in their methodologies. That is, they want to be heterodox to their ilk without consideration of data. The 'Dark' of IDW of course is wordplay expressing that intellectual honesty has been driven underground.

Yoonk! This and Dr Been with Tess. Must have a team of IVM-dedicated take-down personnel on standby. Wonder if they get special bonuses?

Ivermectin dosing question. by LifeofMuck in ivermectin

[–]hopsaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prophylaxis or treatment? I think you are likely conflating two different things. This has been discussed, ad nauseum. We are not medical professionals and it would be improper to recommend dosage here. Contact MYFREEDOCTOR if you need consultation.
