I've explained before there's never any hard feelings. I've never made personal attacks at you, other than being critical of your posting style.
But where I take exception is the bolded above. The first sentence I am absolutely not doing that, and the second two, I absolutely am doing that. It seems when you can't really counter something, you just can't concede to further the the discussion, and start moving the goalposts.
Put it this way on my position on ivermectin: I have no idea if it works or not, but the drug has shown anti-viral tendencies, is virtually risk free to try, and based on everything we've seen, warrants further scientific process.
Is that crazy?
Thanks for the thoughtful, decent reply .That motivated me to reply back .
Thinking that ivermectin might help with covid isn't crazy.
However, based on it's chemical make up and biological impact on parasites , it's a long shot as an anti-viral.
With a global pandemic, the researchers can't waste time on long shots .
They need to stick with things like vaccines and treatments with the best odd for success .
To me, this is like the Cybergenics sales of 30 years ago.
A lot of people purchased it, used the program because they THOUGHT it would work.
In retrospect, it didn't do any harm, but it didn't provide much impact on your actual gains.
Anyone training hard on a good diet will make the same gains without it.
Most supps and beauty products today work on the same misleading marketing .
I think we both agree the vast majority of get covid won't die from it.
In fact, only the 10-20% who get it will get seriously ill and hospitalized.
Plus, we both agree that monoclonal antibodies is the likely reason Joe Rogan recovered so quickly.
Taking the ivermectin made no difference , good or bad, in his covid treatment.
I just think we need to look at the BIG picture with covid and
stick with promoting the best, overall way to deal with it. ( like vaccines)
Perhaps, we both agree on more then either of us want to admit LOL
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
