    Abstract


    Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine the rapidity of viral clearance and safety of ivermectin among adult SARS-CoV-2 patients. The trial included 72 hospitalized patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh, who were assigned to one of three groups: oral ivermectin alone (12 mg once daily for 5 days), oral ivermectin in combination with doxycycline (12 mg ivermectin single dose and 200 mg doxycycline on day 1, followed by 100 mg every 12 h for the next 4 days), and a placebo control group. Clinical symptoms of fever, cough, and sore throat were comparable among the three groups. Virological clearance was earlier in the 5-day ivermectin treatment arm when compared to the placebo group (9.7 days vs 12.7 days; p = 0.02), but this was not the case for the ivermectin + doxycycline arm (11.5 days; p = 0.27). There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19. Larger trials will be needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

    Keywords: Bangladesh; COVID-19; Doxycycline; Ivermectin; SARS-CoV-2.

    30 seconds into the video he mentions the "cabal" and I immediately lose interest. He probably thinks Michelle Obama is a man as well.

    And I believe he mentioned the Kabul with regards to what has and is transpiring in Afghanistan...essentially an emotional response.

    5.3 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been administered around the world, and we wonder why we have a chip shortage:busted:

    At least part, an agent to apparently keep the vax from freezing...

    Water will kill you too... It's all about concentrations and how it's consumed.

    You likely won't recognize a third of any ingredients on processed food labels either...

    Ain't that the truth.
    I have gotten a bit more conscious when buying food nowadays and have a few rules I am pretty good at following.
    If I can't properly say an ingredient listed on the food label, I put it back HAHA.
    Also try to avoid the aisles in the grocery store as thats where all the processed stuff is at.
    Mind you I still buy stuff from those aisles, but being a bit more thoughtful about it, and making one extra smart decision a day can pay huge dividends down the line.

    While funny, that's not one I put any stock in...

    And if your numbers are correct, we should be hitting 80% herd 'immunity' world wide in just a matter of days.

    I did see that Ford and GM are shutting down this week for several weeks due to the chip shortage. When you walk up to a new truck and it starts up on its own, let me know.

    Can't decide if I want that or a 250. I'd get a lot of use out of the juice box in the back.

    Wait, that doesn't sound right.
