    I wear completely white, but I don't own it nor do I wash it myself. It's rental clothing.

    Super great job.

    Lets not get into grey areas cause we could get tagged as conspiranoids. Everything official/big pharma narrative says is for our own good, they want people safe, they love humanity ;) /sarcasm

    big pharma doesnt want to cure a disease it just wants to to feel better while you have it ! if they cured disease's they would be out of business and right now business is good !

    I took a hour to study the approval data of J&J vaccine. (Merck's cooperation!!!)
    Hmm. Even worse than AstraZeneca

    Short: For some sub-groups (comorbidities) efficacy drops below the defined limit of 60%. Overall efficacy is not great at all. (Maybe just one shot vaccines are not good).
    But what actually is worrying /scary is severe side effects occurred.

    Sources:
    https://www.fda.gov/media/146217/download and https://www.fda.gov/news-events/pre...ency-use-authorization-third-covid-19-vaccine

    Vector based vaccines IMHO do not perform good.
    If one is still not afraid of injecting new tech. mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) are still 'best'.

    But I'd suggest reading the paper linked above.

    The FDA is not a scientific organisation it is a political organisation ........... it follows politics and not science ......... as can be clearly seen in their policy and actions against cannabis , MDMA and LSD .

    They did not aprove it . They issued an emrgency allowance ......... a political move ....... based on claims and hopes . That means that the normal aproval procedure has been delayed because it is deemed that the problem is suficient enough to justify delaying it .

    Bit like saying ...... we have a trafic emergency and because of that we are allowing people that havent had a driving test to drive cars ....... and hope and pray that they dont crash .

    Wrong. To be sufficient is to be enough, so what you are suggesting is pleonastic ffs.

    @ ' Clever ' people shooting themselves in the foot :)

    Ex ....... first you shout that normaly a vacine takes two to ten years to develop ....... and that the vacines available havent been properly tested ...... and thats why the vacines are crap .

    Now that procedure has been shortened even further ....... i say it ....... and now you contradict yourself and your position with ---- > ' Life's hard. Sometimes desperate circumstances require desperate measures. Get used to it. '


    yen . Just because you wear a white coat at work doesnt mean that your always right ....... and trying to use that fact as a proof in a discussion is brain dead . Same when gorski ' thinks ' that hes right about things just because he went to university .

    I didnt go to university ....... because i dont need anyones aproval or to be spoon fed and i wont lick arse for a piece of paper .

    The report i said was crap has NOTHING to do with covid . Thats why its CRAP in a discussion about covid .

    Nope. No. I shout "vaccines, any sort of vaccine is venom, for me, and I don't want them in my life nor my children's lives.
    Nope I don't contradict myself whatsoever. Why? Because coronandemic freak show is not an emergency or desperate circumstance, it's a scam. I was addressing specifically to your comment about vehicle traffic.

    University got nothing to do with gorski's false sense of grandiosity, it's just plain verborrhea (verbal acrobatics spilling brown liquid) :D

    I went to university as well, was brainwashed, indoctrinated to believe in scientific cult. Now I've awaken.

    You are putting words into my mouth I have never said and then you say they are wrong.
    Did I say wearing white = being intelligent? No.
    Did I say I have studied in University? No. (FH and company academy).

    Did I say I am right with ivermectin? No.
    Is my assertion concerning ivermectin based on my profession? Yes.
    Do I wear white? Yes.
    Did I evaluate studies and develop own drugs ? Yes, more than 15 years.
    Did I post sources for reasoning ? Yes.

    There is opinion (declared as IMHO) and reasoning (underlined with sources).
    All the vaccines have been approved under emergency use. That IS reasoning for lacking safety and efficacy concerning to 'normal' approval.
    What is the difference? Emergency use = mass use. Normal use = use at lesser amount of people.

    What do I actually want?
    A debate.
    Saying something is crap. OK your opinion. Nothing wrong with it, although lacking of rational reasoning.
    Do you think all the doctors at FLCCC are idiots? OK. They are (in your mind). I am fine with it.

    But for me it hurts that ivermectin is not widely available BECAUSE I am convinced it is a lifesaver.

    I have to admit sometimes I am lazy and I only wear a white shirt with my name on it. :D
    I did 15 years+ synthetic drugs / drug design and we published in BMJ / The Lancet, etc.
    My boss wanted a group of molecules, drew them on paper and we discussed how to realize them and I went to the lab and did it. (Sooner or later depending on success).

    Those then were tested and if being active they went to the clinical trials with all those phases.

    Then I moved to photochemistry. Publishing also in Planta Medica.

    And we cooperate with Universities also in GB and do exchange workgroups / people for special projects.

    Can I post what I am actually doing? No. There is NDA and I don't want to unveil my real identity linking to sources. (At some articles I am just 'et al.' ,but at some there is also my real name).

    I only can (and did) post crudely what I did / do. And I do train young people in the lab once a year (12 weeks internship).

    I am still in the lab working practically. I never wanted to have an office doing paperwork like my boss is doing.

    yen ............ flucht nach vorn = LOL .

    Lets take your argument and debate it ......in public ....... in front of your students and collegues ? :) ...... what you said ...... what i said ...... statement for statement ...... :)

    The last 2 posts from you are EXACTLY the same ........ your telling me why you ....... ' think ' your right ....... because you work in a lab ....... because you had something published .............. because you made a drug .......... because because because = Blah blah . Stick to relevant facts and statements as made .

    Yes, sure. That's called reasoning. And I repeat myself because it seems you are stubborn on that, lol.

    It's not important if I am right or not. It's important that if we have something that is effective and safe then the people must have access to it! Furthermore when its MOA is INDEPENDENT of variants / mutations!!!

    What's wrong with reasoning like: I am a baker for more than 15 years, I know what's a good bread? Just the same!

    I think I am right by evaluating its potential, I try to get it from India, I would take it in case of and I would give it to my family, too. Can I be personally more convinced?
    The meaning and role of ivermectin is evolving right now. So if I am right or not about the future role of ivermectin being a lifesaver..the answer is now evolving, too.
    You just need to stay up to date. Don't say something is crap without to really know it!

    And tell me, please. How can it be that a judge has to order measures for recovery? The 3rd time I know already?!? That is insane!




    Calling it yourself crap while reading wiki is just something you cannot hold...

    That's right. And I do have my common vaccinations, too.

    At COVID-19 there is a medically reasoned systemic difference, though.
    There are bloodstream transferred pathogens and respiratory transferred pathogens.

    At the latter (to which belongs SARS-CoV-2 as well) vaccines actually do not work that well.

    This is result of vaccine development history and can be reasoned by MOA.
    Antibodies which are created by vaccines (usually IgM and IgG first) are most effective on bloodstream transferred pathogens, The 'needed' IgA (the last one at class-switching) which does reside in the mucous are not created that much to get sterilizing immunity.
    And at respiratory transferred diseases it always strongly depends on viral load!

    Vaccines are very effective at bloodstream transferred pathogens. Tetanus, Diphtheria, Hepatitis B for instance.

    At COVID-19 one can hope to get protection against severe progresses. Anything additional would be a 'bonus'.

    -One still gets infected via respiratory tract, but spreading within the body is hindered.
    -One stays highly probably contagious anyway.
    -Each mutation at the target drops vaccine's efficacy.

    ... because you mentioned the above, and I do tend to take you a bit more seriously than some others.....
    had to do some follow up research..... which led to the following email to my daughter

    Came across this interesting article - Note the Published Date: 18 February 2021

    Ivermectin shows clinical benefits in mild to moderate COVID19: A randomised controlled double-blind, dose-response study in Lagos
    https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qjmed/hcab035/6143037

    A later article Published: 04 March 2021 contradicts this

    Effect of Ivermectin on Time to Resolution of Symptoms Among Adults With Mild COVID-19
    https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777389

    What is interesting to me is:

    The drug (Ivermectin) itself was first introduced in the mid to late 70's and, is used for (amongst other things) the treatment of Lymphatic Filariasis (Filaria)
    a disease which I contracted sometime late 1968 and endured until (early) 69 (left me bedridden for Four/Five months - during which time I was told I would probably never walk again - Go Figure)

    A disease, by the way that I previously could find no reference to until the drug was mentioned on one of my forums, and the follow up research pointed me to
    the medical name.

    Lymphatic Filariasis (Transmitted via mosquito bite, infection usually first acquired during childhood)

    It is one of a group of conditions known as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).

    Once a person is infected, adult worms lodge in the body’s lymphatic vessels, affecting the lymphatic system. The worms can live for six to eight years,
    producing millions of larvae that circulate in the infected person’s blood.

    The disease can cause abnormally enlarged body parts (in my case legs and ...) which can be extremely painful and can lead to permanent physical changes.

    This condition, called lymphoedema, is highly stigmatised.

    In men, it can cause hydrocele, a form of lymphoedema that causes the scrotum to swell, ( ... unfortunately had to endure that as well) leading to pain and disability.

    WOW - Just found out something scary it is also known as Elephantiasis
    Which until just now I was mistakenly led to believe was a different disease,
    that although similar, was in fact inflicted by flies -- Just How Lucky Am I / Have Been

    I travel frequently through S/E Asia (not nowadays due to covid) and most scaring to me are parasites and diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. Dengue and Malaria.
    I once had worms, but right under my feet's surface visible under the skin.They must have entered when I walked barefooted through an infested puddle, entered through a mosquito stitch (capillary).
    I am not sure what medicine I have got that time, but I took two pills and they died. Weeks later my skin under my feet started to go off and you still clearly could see the dead worms. Scary.

    The mechanism of action (MOA) of Ivermectin on worms is totally different compared to those MOAs suggested for SARS-CoV-2.
    At worms it has effect on glutamate-gated chloride channel (AgGluCl). It paralyses the worm.

    At SARS-CoV-2 it binds in between ACE2 (the virus binding site at cells) and the virus' S protein
    It also inhibits RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) used for viral replication.
    And it inhibits Importin alpha/ beta2. A cargo into the nucleus. Abused by the virus to get cargo into the nucleus to tell: Do down-regulate your defences and do not tell the neighbour cells that something strange is going on.

    Different results at studies.
    We had to deal with that as well. It is not unusual.

    It mostly depends on the study design. And the art of science is to figure and compare and to check if significance is dominant and how many studies there are which show no effect.
    Invermectin doesn't show here significance at mild COVID.
    Other studies show significance at prophylaxis and high significance at severe progresses.

    To me India and Peru which are actually huge live studies with thousands of people are more significant. At Peru it's very impressing. The numbers went down after they used IVM. Lima was behind (acts as the Placebo group) and then the new govt cancelled the IVM program and numbers raised again. Also the relative low numbers at certain states of India (Uttar Pradesh) can be reasoned by the use of IVM.

    The point is: One does not know if one becomes severe. The earlier Ivermectin is present the better the chances to keep away from severe progresses.
    I am getting info and stay updated every day. I also have personal opinions from MDs reporting their own experiences applying Ivermectin.

    Here for you if being interested: https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-...the-prophylaxis-and-treatment-of-COVID-19.pdf

    And here all the complexity of MOA of ivermectin illustrated in an understandable way. Far more detailed as I have posted:

    Here's the news - like about penguins?
    Everyone laughed and everything is OK.
    But don't forget that nothing is published just like that!
    Bird flu?
    But Russia in 2021 has already launched the release of the bird flu vaccine (how do you like the news?)

    I always said that people have a short memory and they forget everything (words are not mine)
    Here's a fake virus like the other. (no laboratory in the world has an isolated virus)
    And how many videos were there about the courts and the exposure of swine and bird flu, but that's all?
    Forgot!
    But I will remind you of the essence of the matter!

    The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will host the first hearing on the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in exaggerating the dangers of H1N1 and H5N8 swine flu, and collusion with pharmaceutical companies on the need for mass vaccinations against the disease. Parliamentarians intend to launch an investigation into the "influence of the pharmaceutical industry within the WHO."

    The hearing was initiated by a member of the health commission, German doctor and epidemiologist Wolfgang Wodarg, who considers the history of H5N8 and swine flu "one of the biggest medical scandals of the century" and accuses pharmaceutical laboratories of organizing psychosis around it. Dr. Wodarg cites the case of Klaus Steer, who has long been the head of the epidemiology department at WHO and has since become a "high-ranking employee of Novartis." He also claims that the European influenza working group, which plays a central role in WHO's liaison with research institutions, is heavily influenced by Sanofi Pasteur, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Baxter (all pharmaceutical companies). By the way, representatives of these companies were summoned to testify in the French Senate on January 20. A meeting was held on the territory of Russia, where the Russian Duma, which called for an investigation into suspicion of corruption, and if this is confirmed, raise the issue of Russia's withdrawal from WHO.
