Ivermectin's Success With Covid-19: Real or Misinformation?

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional. What I share is based on experience and thorough research. Please do your research before making any sort of decision or forming opinions.

You've been seeing and hearing how people taking Ivermectin to combat Covid-19 are nutjobs or lunatics. Ivermectin is a drug used to remove parasites, and this drug is primarily used in horses or cattle. Anthony Fauci, the FDA, Hollywood, and 90% of mainstream media is telling the American people that we aren't horses and to not take Ivermectin. Is the science behind Ivermectin real or misinformation?

People began talking about Ivermectin recently after MILO and Joe Rogan began using it. Conservative commentator and "provocateur" Milo Yiannopoulos shared on his Telegram that he contracted Covid and used Ivermectin (as well as other vitamins or drugs) to cure it. I follow Milo on Telegram, and I'm not going to lie, I didn't think using the injectable version was a good idea, but it clearly worked. Joe Rogan shared a video that he had Covid-19 and used a plethora of treatments to fight it, including Ivermectin. Both Rogan and Yiannopoulos credit their recovery from Covid-19 to Ivermectin. 

If you Google Ivermectin, you will see numerous articles ridiculing the "horse paste." They claim Ivermectin isn't proven to work against Covid-19, and shouldn't even be a serious treatment against Covid-19. You'll see popular figures in the media say how Ivermectin is a joke. 

There are numerous doctors that attest to Ivermectin and studies to actually prove that Ivermectin works. Pierre Kory, M.D. testified to Congress in 2020 about early treatment to help patients with Covid-19. He spoke on how Ivermectin works. "Ivermectin is highly safe, widely available, and low cost. We now have data from over 20 well-designed clinical studies, ten of them randomized, controlled trials, with every study consistently reporting large magnitude and statistically significant benefits in decreasing transmission rates, shortening recovery times, decreasing hospitalizations, or large reductions in deaths." I highly recommend looking on his website, https://covid19criticalcare.com/, to learn more about Covid-19 and Ivermectin. 

There are three points, I believe, are worth noting: 

1. William Campbell, the person who discovered Ivermectin, was awarded the 2015 Noble Peace Prize, for discovering a drug that significantly fought parasitic diseases in both humans and animals.
2. Ivermectin is listed on the WHO's "World’s List of Essential Medicines." If the drug was really unsafe for humans, why would it be on the list?
3. So many say Ivermectin is unsafe, yet tell you that a vaccine created in a year is 100% safe and effective. The number of deaths caused by the Covid-19 vaccine, according to VAERs, when that same vaccine has caused over 13,000 deaths. Regarding the number of deaths from Ivermectin, it appears (according to one source) that the number of deaths is 209, from December 2003 to July 2020. Barely over 200 deaths over a 17 year period, compared to thousands of deaths caused by a vaccine that has been administered in the span of 8-9 months.
4. With the H1N1 vaccine program, it was stopped after a few 10s died from the vaccine. Over 10,000 are dead from the vaccine, yet the rollout hasn't stopped.

If Ivermectin really was unsafe to humans, why would it be so praised? You can get it as a pill, so it isn't just "horse paste." Rand Paul has called out the media, Fauci and the FDA for their distain for Ivermectin, stating their hatred for Trump blinds their judgement, which is believable. They prefer to make it political, instead of leaving it up to Americans to decide what is best for them. Plus we all know they get money from big pharma. That's also why they hate Ivermectin. It's easy to get and reasonably priced, which means big pharma loses business.

For those who remember, I wrote an article saying how my family and I had Covid-19. I also included that we took a drug that most are considering "dangerous" and "unsafe." I'm sure you've guessed where I'm leading with this story. The "drug" was Ivermectin. A family friend who works in the medical field, and is a Godsend in my opinion, told us about the drug. The day my parents found out they were positive, my mom had us take it. The three of us began with little to no symptoms. 

In August, my mom said we should take the antibody test to see if we've got the antibodies, specifically my sister and I. Because of his autism, Josh can't take it so we were the determining factors of if he had Covid. My sister had Covid-19 moderate, whereas Josh and I were mild. Our test came in; Rachel and I both tested negative for Covid antibodies. Ivermectin killed the virus before it really went through us. 

This article's purpose isn't to bash or shame anyone who believes in the vaccine or got vaccinated. At this point, we've heard enough of the shaming. I think we should all make the choice of what is best for us. Personally, I believe in the science behind Ivermectin, but that doesn't mean shaming is necessary. Anyone who got Covid, and used Ivermectin, have told me their healing was quick. Don't believe what the media says. Make your own opinions and decisions. DO YOUR RESEARCH. 

In closing, I have a challenge for you guys. Google “Who paid the largest criminal fine in history?” I guarantee you’ll be shocked to learn who it is.

Liberty Lost During Covid-19

This guest article features a high school student from New York. Her bio is at the end. She sent it over Twitter, and I asked her if she'd be interested in writing this as a guest article for Young Patriot Rising, which she agreed to. Hope you like reading her article!

We all have lost a lot since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Over 2 million people have died from the novel coronavirus worldwide. Millions of small businesses have been destroyed by it. According to the National Restaurant Association, as of December 7th, 2020, 17% of all restaurants in the United States have closed permanently. The CDC has said that one in 4 young adults have struggled with suicidal thoughts since Covid hit. Teenage suicides have accelerated due to school closures. All of these effects are tragic and unforgivable. However, there is an additional loss that we have all suffered yet only half of us seem to realize. Freedom. As President John Adams once said, “Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” This could not be more true now. 

We were told last March “15 days to slow the spread.” We are now on day 344 with no end in sight. Oh, lockdowns are lightening up? Say hello to mask mandates! Oooh, masks? Welcome to social distancing. We finally have a vaccine? Well, masking and social distancing must continue. When will everyone wake up and realize that what is occurring is completely Orwellian? 35 states have made it illegal to breathe fresh air. We have been told for a year that we aren’t allowed to see our families. Governors have started limiting how many people you can have in your own house. President Biden is now considering banning domestic travel to certain states. I thought this was America. Since when can one person dictate your every move? You are screamed at and shamed if you dare to stand close to someone. I have never seen such a constitutional crisis. These conditions are completely dehumanizing.

And for what? Covid-19 has a survival rate of 99.7% and primarily affects the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. That is not the majority of the population, and we should be thankful for that. Our basic liberties have been completely trampled and I fear we will never get them back unless people wake up and grow a spine. I am beyond disgusted with how public schools have responded to this pandemic. Some will not open, and a lot of the ones who have are miserable environments. Those running the schools are total shills for the government who clearly do not care about their students. How they sleep at night after muzzling children and enforcing the most Orwellian, draconian and dehumanizing policy of social distancing is beyond me. We are KIDS. We are social creatures. And these teachers drunk with power do not even hesitate to SCREAM at us to separate over a virus that we do not have and face very little threat from. I miss being able to be a human at school. It was fun. I miss being allowed to actually see my friend’s smiling faces. I’m sick of my rights being stripped away by these tyrants and have no one stand up for us. 

I understand that Covid can be deadly, but everyone needs to realize what is happening. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said “The antithesis of liberty is government power. Liberty is worth the fight.” He is absolutely correct. The founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves seeing the freedom they risked their lives to achieve be ripped apart. President John Adams said “You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.” How anyone can look at our current world and not feel like we betrayed his wish is astounding. I’m sick of hearing “It’s a pandemic. Don’t you wanna save lives?” Yes, of course I do, but never in history have we quarantined an entire planet because of an illness. This time, with a disease that the overwhelming amount of people survive, life has been put completely on hold. It is a complete obstruction of freedom, and it should no longer be tolerated. As President John Tyler wisely said, “I can never consent to being dictated to.” No one should consent to being dictated to, whether there is a pandemic or not.
