The TGA says it hasn't found any evidence that ivermectin is useful against Covid, but then we have to ask, has the TGA looked?
Ivmmeta.com lists 60 studies involving 25,000 people that show its useful and 3 that don't:
So the TGA want to ban one drug to force the punters to pick the other drug?
Once upon a time the phrase would be "persuade me". Now it's just fines and jail if you disagree?
In the end the TGA appears to be banning it for psychological reasons, not medical ones — always a risky game to play when a group is trying to look like a medical agency, and not like a marketing team. It may have the opposite effect the TGA intends. If we want more people to stop using agricultural chemicals (and surely we do want that?) then don't we want the punters to get treatments under supervision from their GP and Pharmacist instead?
If the TGA wants more Australians to trust them with the vaccines, they might want to explain their decisions better than this.
Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)stops GP's prescribing ivermectin for Covid-19:
New restrictions on prescribing ivermectin for COVID-19And yet in less developed countries ivermectin has been used en mass with seeming success: India, Peru, Mexico, Indonesia, Slovakia and so many others.
Sept 10, 2021
These changes have been introduced because of concerns with the prescribing of oral ivermectin for the claimed prevention or treatment of COVID-19. Ivermectin is not approved for use in COVID-19 in Australia or in other developed countries, and its use by the general public for COVID-19 is currently strongly discouraged by the National COVID Clinical Evidence Taskforce, the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug Administration.
As for The WHO — they told us there was no human to human transmission and no reason to stop the flights last February. Tedros has an obvious potential conflict of interest. Whatever the WHO says, it's almost good national practice to do the opposite.
Firstly, there are a number of significant public health risks associated with taking ivermectin in an attempt to prevent COVID-19 infection rather than getting vaccinated. Individuals who believe that they are protected from infection by taking ivermectin may choose not to get tested or to seek medical care if they experience symptoms. Doing so has the potential to spread the risk of COVID-19 infection throughout the community.People may get false confidence, and choose not to get tested or seek medical care, but exactly the same can be said of vaccinated people. How many vaccinated people ignore social distancing, or falsely believe they can't catch Covid or pass it on to their friends? We could hardly blame them after months of hearing how those who get vaxed are helping the community.
If social media gets it wrong, why ban the doctors that get it right?
Secondly, the doses of ivermectin that are being advocated for use in unreliable social media posts and other sources for COVID-19 are significantly higher than those approved and found safe for scabies or parasite treatment. These higher doses can be associated with serious adverse effects, including severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, neurological effects such as dizziness, seizures and coma.The symptom list looks frightening, but high enough doses of anything have bad side effects. Most of these bad things will also occur if you drink too much water.
Dangers of overhydration: headaches, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, muscle weakness or cramping, increased blood pressure, double vision, confusion and difficulty breathing with cerebral edema, seizures, brain damage and coma.If supplies are low, perhaps order more supplies?
Finally, there has been a 3-4-fold increased dispensing of ivermectin prescriptions in recent months, leading to national and local shortages for those who need the medicine for scabies and parasite infections. It is believed that this is due to recent prescribing and dispensing for unapproved uses, such as COVID-19. Such shortages can disproportionately impact vulnerable people, including those in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.We'd all understand if supplies need to be conserved for some patients. But a year after HCQ was banned to keep it available for Lupus patients, why haven't we solved that? Trust means acting consistently...
Doctors on the The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners are divided:
In comments on the RACGP site some doctors are glad this takes the pressure off them when patients ask for ivermectin, but most docs are very unhappy:
Dr AnthonyThere are so many big questions going unanswered. If ivermectin is not approved, why isn't it? If the correct study has not been done, why hasn't it? And most of all, why is no one, apart from bloggers and people like Craig Kelly, and Malcolm Roberts asking these questions? Where is the legacy media... Where is our PM?
The contempt we are held in by our bureaucracy is palpable.
Dr Ayodele
...If our goal is to keep Australian safe from dying, shouldn't we give alternatives to those who for whatever reasons will rather die than take the vaccines. Two or three people died in their homes in NSW recently and they were reportedly positive posthumously. India saved their nation with Ivermectin . Do we want people to die in their homes in the name of promoting vaccination? GPs should stand up for choice. I am in no way against vaccination. please.
Dr Sandra
This is disgusting. Is medicine only about money and power now?
...how on earth can we back up advice such as it's fine to give these experimental vaccines to pregnant women? Who has any idea what long term side effects will occur? One case of someone with some GIT side effects from taking a wrong dose of ivermectin, and meanwhile we've had a significant number of deaths and serious morbidity from these vaccines. Ivermectin is low risk, may be effective, doesn't mean you have to stop administering vaccines, and should be available on prescription from GPs.
Dr Irene
...We at this moment are not treating patients and only isolate them till they worsen and went to hospital ( which is late). I am surprised to see that ivermectin was unsafe ...
Dr Paul
The TGA? Are they the same people who approved a Covid vaccination for adolescent boys , a recent study from Univ of Ca has shown, has a 6 times greater chance of them being hospitalised with myocarditis after administration than being hospitalised with Covid. (which has a 99.999...% survivability in that healthy demographic)
And the TGA didn't read the fine print in the emergency use of the vaccine in pregnant women.The study supporting its use in pregnancy lasted 3 months. When I was in school, pregnancy lasted about 9 months. Any chance of longterm cognitive, behavioural or other effects in offspring. Is informed consent even possible?? We do need an inquiry into ATAGI and TGA when all this is over.Their advice has been abysmal.
Dr Anthony
I'm not aware of a single study where mortality increased with ivermectin therapy. so I'd love to see the data supporting the "it's not safe" advice. The metanalysis conducted by Prof Tess Lawrie shows about a 49 - 84% reduction in mortality.

In 40 years of using ivermectin in Aus there have been 11 adverse events reported, 0 of which include death.
In 8 months of using COVID 'vaccine' bioweapons there have been more than 50,000 adverse events in Australia, of which more than 470 are death.
And the motherfuckers want to restrict ivermectin ?

But maybe this will give us AAFF Fools; to wit: "Authoritarian As Fuck Follower Fools," or AAFFF.

As for me personally I won't be taking any mRNA injections. I completely agree with Tsidkenu.
The problem with mass psychosis is that people are delusional and irrational, so the whole attempt could backfire.
RC
I'm sure they will babble some crazy-making BS, or just try to insult me for being selfish. I wouldn't expect a rational response.
I really wish this die-off would accelerate as the sooner we can be rid of the AFs that took the jab the better.
Your thoughts on that?

Spur Infra. I like to hope that if I was there, there would have been some pigs who ended up more permanently fucked up than I would have. When society abuses ladies, that ain't no society at all.
I wonder what would have been harder to do, commit myself there and then to that, or, to have been perched on a nearby building with a scoped rifle and a quick getaway. I thank God I've never found out - as I believe you have. Good fight; keep up.

I wonder what her family and friends think of that video.
As re my above comment, after finishing that clip, I know I'd rather have been in a roost* with a quick getaway.
On a bright note, the comments are reflecting 100% 'fuck the pigs' (as I call it) all the way as far as I read and that's a good indicator of the median.

There's lots of stories like that and it is just getting worse. The Premier in NSW was apparently going to be dragged before the ICAC (Independent Court Against Corruption) and she rolled over and put all these restrictions in place to keep her corrupt ass out of the Court. She is sacrificing all these people to prevent her corruption from being exposed.
Looks like some folks (I wonder about you 10/1968 it says) were having fun back in 68 (I was 9) but Lord, I knew the song.

Today I sent this nurse Jim Hoft's article on Uttar Pradesh [Link] that Indian state with a pop. of 241 million which has now eliminated COVID completely by deploying ivermectin protocols to their population. Her response?
"That's great that ivermectin and HCQ is effective to kill covid in India. Thank you for sending this information."
And my reply?
"Makes me wonder why TGA banned this drug for COVID in Aus when it's proven to save lives."
The cracks are so big now I could drive my bus through them.
Speaking of music, I was on a night mission of river patrol. We got the ever loving shit shot out us when we jumped a bunch of sampans heading down the river. While waiting for new aircraft back at Camp Evans, the CQ had recently received a 45 record of the Stones 'Jumping Jack Flash'. We listened to it over and over again while we drank coffee and waited for the ships.
We went back in with the music still playing in our heads. The NVA had set up an ambush and we flew right into it. I watched an RPG as it appeared to go through the cargo doors, but the crew told me it went through the skids. When it hit the other bank all hell broke loose. - Again, we got the shit shot out of us.
Back to base without anyone getting injured. More coffee and 'Jumping Jack Flash'. Back out again and we played it safe by flying a bit higher. When they opened up again we pulled back up and directed artillery in on them. Screw it, arty was better than trading round for round. - Then back to base and drinking warm beer in deck chairs on top of a bunker as the sun came up over the South China Sea, lovely - It took me years to not have an adrenaline rush when I heard 'Jumping Jack Flash'.
