How are we supposed to convince the jabbed believers to take Ivermectin or HCQ should they become infected? My sister, for example, would never take anything other than perhaps Paxlovid, and was very critical when us unjabbed family members used Ivermectin to get us through our sars-cov-2 infections. That 30% will hold out, stubbornly, much to their own detriment.

Darby, this is a great find. I looked at that study with suspicion, but could not find anything. I am glad that you devoted it such a dogged attention.

Can't we ask for study data?

Thank you for sharing this letter an identifying so many issues in the paper. If I may offer a bit of advice: It would be most effective to focus only on facts and assume the authors acted in good faith, even if you don't believe it. Otherwise the authors and editors will not take the valid points of criticism seriously.

33% of People will LABEL you MISINFORMATION regardless (these people are useful idiots and propaganda zombies), we must continue to focus on the 66% (supermajority) whom do not know, but whom are not generally hostile to TRUTH.

33% of PEOPLE SUPPORT & ENFORCE THIS INSANITY:

Misinformation is all information that lacks alignment, support, or agreement with the public-state messaging campaigns that are presently active within the national public-state messaging system.

-Citizens are to use social media responsibly, and with caution, as one might be held liable for their content, and for the damages that others attribute to you.

-Citizens be careful, even on your personal webpages, when authoring, creating content, or when commenting publicly, anywhere others can be misinformed.

-Citizens are obliged to ensure their views are consistent with state-public messaging. Non-compliance has varying levels of social & legal consequences.

This is particularly relevant in current times, where approved public health narratives, approved geo-political narratives, and approved internal political narratives save lives, ensure peace, prosperity, and a continued democracy.

Citizen remember that your views expressed may be consistent with evidence-based material, but may not necessarily be consistent with public-state messaging system, therefore it will be labeled misinformation, and you a spreader of misinformation.

Done. Signed retired, former ASCP member, lol. To facilitate, I added that "vaxxed included" statement is at the end of para. 1 in the trial abstract, whereas "vaxxed excluded" is in the Trial Protocol of the full report, 5.3 Exclusions, p. 48.

Darby, can you help me pinpoint evidence that patients are having difficult accessing ivermectin? I know that many states have introduced or passed legislation allowing for the prescribing of ivermectin and prevention of pharmacies to deny filling the prescription. But what exactly is the pushback that prescribers are receiving, other than the FDA, WHO, AND CSC being unwilling to approve the drug for covid19? Thanks for all your hard work!

I'm wary. I've seen so many papers withdrawn over the last few years on the back of pressure from the Pharma industry & cancel culture (one and the same I guess) that I'm inclined to express disapproval but not demand retraction. Maybe aim to get a message on it eventually, something along the lines of 'this paper is full of crap'.

Let’s add the recent cmac.ca mathematical modeling so-called study by Fisman along with it. His delightful ha ha work is a thinly veiled piece of propaganda which several have already answered far better than I can.
