1/ A “Sightless Among Miracles” is a sculpture that celebrates Ivermectin. A son is guiding his blind father, a fate of millions of adults who were losing sight. Lives destroyed, communities decimated.
A 2015 Nobel prize recognised drug has saved these people from misery.

2/ How come Ivermectin is now a “dirty” word? Its pioneer Dr Pierre Kory of @Covid19Critical moves around YouTube “like a ghost leaving suspensions and blackened warning screens everywhere he went”. (words @mtaibbi)

3/ Britain very own Dr Tess Lawrie, my @hartgroup_org colleague @EdmundFordham and fantastic @BIRDGroupUK are stonewalled, despite producing excellent meta-analysis on Ivermectin and gaining recognition outside of the UK.

4) because of “The Ivy”, a voice of consciousness in academia, the core member of the intellectual dark web @BretWeinstein finds his YouTube videos taken down by “fact-checkers” who, probably, don’t have even a quarter of a PhD among them.

5/ Oxford Uni added Ivermectin to their nationwide clinical study PRINCIPLE on 12/05/2021. It took BBC just six weeks to report it. In a meantime, they run the piece with obligatory claim “There is no evidence that ivermectin can prevent or cure Covid-19”

6/ PRINCIPLE is going to try 0.3 mg/kg for 3 days which is lower than the @Covid19Critical and @BIRDGroupUK I-MASS 0.4-0.6 mg/kg for 5 days. The trial is without the recommended combo.

Like many, I am rooting for “The Ivy” to come on top neverseless.

7/ Like many, I can’t square Merck’s recent statement claiming “lack of safety data on Ivermectin” with the fact that Merck (yes, same company) donated over 4 billion doses and produced fantastic outreach resources to promote Ivy’s safety and efficacy.

8/ I don’t believe in The Evil Big Pharma, but I know what people make mistakes and people with influence (e.g. Big Pharma CEO) make mistakes that cost hundreds of billions in taxpayer money. Their mistakes cost lives too. On some occasions, those were millions of lives.

9/ The Big Pharma and Big Tech are just businesses, seizing an opportunity to make money.

It’s up to us and our elected representatives, to restrain those appetites.

It’s us who needs to read, think, ask questions and make a compassionate effort to reach out to “others”.

10/ We need to follow Oxford Uni’s trial, it is our responsibility to cheer for a drug, that is:

1)Safe
2)Cheap
3)Readily available in large quantities
4)The most promising *early* COVID-19 treatment so far

People who don’t want or can’t have existing COVID-19 vaccines have the right to a different option!

Actually, PRINCIPLE is enrolling vaccinated people as well. This is great. They will need this treatment too.
