When talking about this drug as it relates to medicine in general… one must understand a few things first:
1. Modern science isn’t the science of the past. Modern science is infested, INFESTED, with group think, collaborative groups and other consensus-driven protocols. TRUE science isn’t based on consensus. True science is based on exhausting all iterations to someone’s thesis and proving that you cannot prove the opposite. You don’t need to know the guy, don’t need to suck his cock or pork his wife.
2. If the effectiveness of a drug isn’t within the 95% distribution bell, it’s considered to need “more testing.” Which is legalese for “it’s good to go but I don’t want to get sued if you grow a second penis when you take the pill.
I think Ivermectin is a good example of 1 & 2. On the one hand, lots of people use it and rave about it and on the the other hand, the field of medicine is throwing caution to the wind. This is the problem: if you have the God-given receptors for Ivermectin, do you really give flying fuck that the field of medicine hasn’t put its stamp of approval on the drug?
It’s all getting stupid beyond belief. Just today, CNN were criticizing people who use the drug because “we don’t know what the effects are,” WHICH IS A FUCKING LIE, and that the side effects could be bad. Cut to commercials and boom: Cialis commercial in which half of the talking points are about its side effects. The field of medicine is a fucking joke.
General medicine, as a field, is not scientific at all. You have a head ache? Advil. Your foot hurts? Advil. Anything general as it pertains to health just fucking sucks. That’s why, when you develop something really nasty they quickly refer you to a specialist (meaning a a REAL doctor).
Ok, fair enough.
Are you suggesting, modern medicine is rife with corruption and near useless in treating disease?
Do you really believe we're better off to do our own research and treat ourselves ?
If that's your actual position , that's fine and our debate ends .
Your side can simply go it alone, and treat themselves at home by their own means.
If that's what you advocate, you'll get no argument from me.
However, IF you decide to access medical care in a hospital, it's a different situation.
By checking in , you agree to allow them to treat you.
Now, the medical profession allows you to REFUSE various treatments .
For example, a Jehovah Witness may refuse a blood transfusion.
They have a signed waiver of damages for the medical staff .
If they die , they can't sue the hospital for malpractice or wrongful death.
What you CAN'T do, is tell the medical staff to treat with an unapproved drug or procedure.
This is exactly what the family tried to do ,in this posted case.
Since they didn't agree with the hospital's treatment, it was their right to check him out.
He survived with their home treatment. That was the best possible result.
However, the hospital is required to use proven , accepted treatments or they get sued for malpractice.
I'm NOT saying the medical field is perfect and always gets the best possible result.
So, what's the alternative ? I believe you're advocating using our own research and treatment.
Sounds tempting and promotes independence, which is admirable .
So, the next time you read some "research" about Ivermectin or new miracle cure, consider:
* Will they be responsible for any problems that arise from using it ?
THAT cuts to the real deal. The medical field is accountable to its patients .
The miracle potion folks don't take responsibility for problems and say ..." You're on your own"
It's a lot easier to shout about being right, when they're no consequences for being wrong.
