Are they? For the most part I see people people laughing at an idiot who has chosen to take horse dewormer. He's also getting monoclonal antibodies which are proven to be effective in the early stages of covid plus steroids. So it's more likely that the latter is doing something while horse medication is doing nothing. Ivermectin is unproven so he's more likely to end up with unintended side effects than anything else.
At his age he'd have a 99%+ chance of not dying, probably higher since he isn't a fat ****. Not sure why one would assume it was the drugs he took.
Yeah surely that would be classed as misinformation ?
Since if I say I don't think 5 year old children should be forced to wear a mask for an 8 hour school day - I am a science denying misinformation spreading far right bigot, should be even no ?
Stop spreading misinformation
He's on a cocktail of drugs that are proven to work and one that's entirely unproven. It's unclear if he went for the horse variant, either way it's a tad stupid. On top of that, the cocktail of drugs is not always guaranteed to work. Meanwhile we have proven vaccines that doesn't require a cocktail of drugs and drastically reduces severe cases of COVID-19 etc. So ya, catching it and seeing what happens when there's a vaccine is dense.
Fyi, I've had the vaccine and have been on the steroid he's on. I got a headache after the vaccine and that was it. The steroid had pretty dreadful side effects including increased risk of infection etc. It also tends to eat away at the calcium in your bones so can cause conditions such as osteopenia. This is reversible but if it's not caught, you can develop osteoporosis. So the vaccine is far more preferable to be on steroids for a few months. (You have to wean off of them)
I can't see what the big deal is, in fairness I just clicked on Twitter to measure the bigness of the deal.
Rich guy with informed opinion uses his money and his gut feeling to treat his Covid. He says he "threw the kitchen sink at it" (the phrase is everything BUT the kitchen sink) so it looks like he's gone "Hit me with everything". He's certainly done the homework over the last 18 months and feels comfortable in the decision to take the things that he feels are safe for him to take and that will hopefully be beneficial to his recovery.
He hasn't offered himself up as a trial patient in the uses of certain drugs. He has as he said thrown the kitchen sink at it.
I'm double vaxed 3 months now and have had rotten side since as have roughly 50% of people I know in my age group and sex. (50'sM).
In the last 2 months I know far more people who have caught Covid than in the previous 16 months. All of them double vaxed and with far worse symptoms than people who caught it without the vax (with the exception of one death).
JR has now caught Covid, looks to have dealt with it the way he could and wanted to and he looks to be recovering quickly. And now with the bonus of having the strongest measure against Covid- natural immunisation.
STOP THE PRESS!! "MAN WALKS THE WALK"
What's the issue?
Has Joe confirmed whether he is unvaccinated? I think even vaccinated people can get the ill effects from covid he has gotten.
you speak like you know what ivermectin actuall does, all you are doing is repeating what's on the web, which for the most part is propaganda BS
He is not vaccinated, and is not against vaccination.
What a load of absolute nonsense.
As have roughly 50% of people you know?
Really - pretty much everyone I know has had double vacc, and I dont know a single person whose side effects have gone beyond a day or two, and very few have cited anything more than a sore arm. FFS.....
Is he on certain steroids to beat covid, or are people talking about the steroids he takes generally to keep himself in the shape he wants to be in?
Half in my close contacts, same age and sex. Yep. Just from me asking them.
Younger, older and women less so. But out of 12 friends and family 6 are much the same as me. Overly tired being the biggest complaint.
Maybe he only knows himself, and one other person.
Wow you have the unluckiest friends and family if 50% are still sick after months.
Really really unlucky cause that ain't the experience of the rest of the country
He is using drugs that have proven efficacy and another that does not. The fact a Cochrane report has concluded there's very low amounts of evidence ivermectin is effective against COVID-19 is a pretty good reason to be not using it. Why do you think there's some great cover-up by the medical and research community?
So Rogan gets Covid after telling his listeners not to the get the Vaccine.
“Are you a healthy person? Like, look, don’t do anything stupid, but you should take care of yourself. You should — if you’re a healthy person, and you’re exercising all the time, and you’re young, and you’re eating well, like, I don’t think you need to worry about this,” he said on the show.
But then goes on to stir the waters further announcing that amongst all the other drugs he has also taken the unproven Ivermectin
I wonder if down the line he ends up with Long Covid symptoms (possible to emerge up to easily 6 months later even if completely asymptomatic) will he be telling all his listeners about it?
I wonder.
He is taking Prednisone which is a steroid often prescribed to people who have COPD/Asthma. It's likely to be helping him a lot more than Ivermectin.
There's a big difference between an informed opinion that is scientifically informed and one that is informed by morons and dum dums on parler and reddit.
whether Ivermectin is effective against Covid or not we are not going to hear it from the media. The mainstream approach is vaccination, anything else is considered bad science.
There are indipendent doctors and biologists testing the Ivermectin, i'd rather hear from them then from the media
yes there is, "scientifically informed" as you put it, is the mainstream mantra. The same that said that masks were useless, then they were mandadory.
The rest are people basing their opinion on real evidence around them, friends and family who got vaccinated and how they handled it, and whether they got sick anyway or not.
a 16 year old guy just died in italy after doing Moderna, the family is suing the hospital
someone sent me the link, it's all in italian

I would like to read the results from clinical trials on Ivermectin rather than from individual doctors who might be trying to make a name for themselves so its not just the mainstream media that may be dishonest. In fairness to Rogan, even vaccinated people can get COVID and he looks like is in battling it very well.
Where other cheap drugs have been shown to help with Covid they are used
e.g. dexamethasone
Ivermectin has repeatedly failed in several clinical trials so far to provide any statistical evidence of efficacy
A recent review of 14 ivermectin studies, with more than 1,600 participants, concluded that none provided evidence of the drug’s ability to prevent Covid, improve patient conditions or reduce mortality. Another 31 studies are still underway to test the drug.
“There is great interest in repurposing well-known inexpensive drugs such as ivermectin that are readily available as an oral tablet,” Maria-Inti Metzendorf and Stephanie Weibel, the authors of the review, said in an email to The Times. “Even if these circumstances seem ideal, the results from the available clinical studies carried out so far cannot confirm the widely advertised benefits.”
One of the largest trials studying ivermectin for Covid-19 treatment, called the Together Trial, was halted by the data safety monitoring board on Aug. 6 because the drug had been shown to be no better than a placebo at preventing hospitalization or prolonged stay in the emergency room. Dr. Edward Mills, a professor at McMaster University who led the study, which enrolled more than 1,300 patients, said the team would have discontinued it earlier were it not for the level of public interest in ivermectin.
“The data safety person said, ‘This is now futile and you’re offering no benefit to patients involved in the trial,’” Dr. Mills said.
clinical trials financed by pharmaceutical companies?
I'd rather hear from independent research from reliable doctors, to each their own
yes it's acknowledged that in some cases the vaccine can cause blo0d clots but it's very rare
that Italian article doesn't say or prove that the boy died as a result of the vaccine.
In the Uk there have been 72 deaths from 48.6 million doses of the AZ vaccine for example
That's 1 in 661,000
The chances of being hit by lightning are 1 in 300,000 as a comparison
I will never cease to be astonished by the number of people who think it is perfectly plausible that Covid is a harmless hoax drummed up by big Pharma to generate business despite the fact that it would take researchers, scientists, Doctors, the WHO, and every dept of health and pretty much every hospital in the world to go along with it.
Yet,they are willing to believe someone on the interweb who says a horse wormer will sort you grand???? How do these people find their arses when they have only two hands?
What's your vetting process for independent research from reliable doctors ? - please do tell.
Doctors that i've been following for years
Also, when more researches point in the same direction
How can anyone be happy with having only single opinion being allowed is beyond me
I dont know anyone who thinks that Covid is harmless, that includes Joe Rogan who had a long podcast with Bret Weinstain about the unknown consequences of Covid in the long term, regardless of how mild the initial symptom might be. Scary stuff
