I thought the key heartworm med element is arsenic.

Yeah, a little tongue-in-cheek there.

Gates also has said that the way to prevent over-population is through increased vaccination. I love that one... Nothing funnier than the truth...

Gates goal is ... to “serve humanity,”
Reminds me of a famous episode of The Twilight Zone titled "To Serve Man"

Aliens arrive and provide fantastic advancements including conquering disease, and give human scientists a book written in the aliens language.
The hidden agenda was in the book translation. It's title was "To Serve Man".
Unfortunately, it was a cook book.

If the way to make money is to betray my principles, I think I'll find a different way.

Here is the direction. Invest in your equities accordingly...big money will be made.

It's "Orange Man Bad" syndrome which seems to drive the bulk of the media.

Beware, I heard a TV report the other day on this drug,and immediaately recognized it as the chief ingredient in dog heartworm pills. I knew enough to know it can kill some Shelties, but some can take it safefly. What bothered me was an earlier report telling people to call their MDs and request a perscription for themselves, and if he refused, go to a feed store ane get the animal version and take it. Very bad idea, this is not stuff to be done by just anyone. The drug can actually cause blindness in humans and should be monitored even if prescribed by ab MD.

What motive do they have to bear the expense to test a cheap treatment with little profit potential? Happy, living customers and goodwill?

Meanwhile, the anti-retroviral (HIV) drugs are in Phase 2 trials on COVID already.

Hmm, I wonder why they would test an EXPENSIVE Patented drug over a generic whose total cost is $20 to the patient?

That's SARCASM FWIW!

Probably true.
This sounds like a better plan than what we have seen:

This is also used to treat round worm in dogs, cats, cows, horses, etc.
So if I need to take it the only downside if it doesn't work would be that my round worm problems would be cured.

They'll only promote the vaccine.

:-D

Gave a dose to my dog April 1st for heartworm preventative. Ivermectin has been around for years. Not quite sure about its antiviral activity but then what does malaria have to do with viruses?

During the world wars and the Great Depression, head lice were called cooties.
So all me dino wants to point out is that sayin' "There's a cootie cure for Covid" at least has a nice ring to it.

OK, I'll go away now.

The words are- in cell culture, in-vitro, not in-vivo (in life).
A single dose- I could not see what that is, perhaps one standard tablet?
Vague but very promising. It has almost no side effects when studied for use on those lice.

Hydroxychloroquine With a Zpack or Azythromycin. If the New Yellow Times hates it you have to wonder why.

Ignoring Expert Opinion, Trump Again Promotes Use of Hydroxychloroquine
2 hours ago · Mr. Trump's recommendation of hydroxychloroquine, for the second day in a row at a White House briefing, was a striking example of his brazen willingness to distort and outright defy expert ..

Well well ........They did not report this. Hmmmmm
New York doctor says he has successfully treated coronavirus patients' symptoms using hydroxychloroquine sulfate, zinc, and azithromycin.
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko is a registered family doctor in Monroe, New York, where he runs two clinics and has said he has successfully treated respiratory symptoms of 699 coronavirus patients using a cocktail of the drugs, including the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine, a derivative of chloroquine.

You're right. It's heavily used to treat sheep for bugs in Australia.

The Aussies should put it in use in their county.

Monash is a great University, I visited it in Melbourne doing a biotech project.

The USA will fudge it, putting the drug through the FDA maze, taking years, by which time COVID-19 will be history.
