Drug used to treat head lice can kill COVID-19 cells (in lab testing only)
Posted by freedomforall 4 years ago to News
A Monash University-led study has shown a single dose of the drug Ivermectin could stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture.
'We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA (effectively removed all genetic material of the virus) by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,' Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute's Dr Kylie Wagstaff said on Friday.

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.

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

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.

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