Sounds like crazy talk to me. Where is the supporting evidence for these conspiracies?..... besides Facebook, lol

I'd be very interested to read this, if you can post the link. I subscribe to numerous journals, and the only studies I've seen about using Ivermectin for West Nile is treating birds to kill the mosquitoes to slow the transmission of the virus to animals and humans - not treating the illness directly. But that'd be great if there's more to that story.The injectable Ivermectin can be given orally to treat viruses; there is a great article on West Nile Virus treatment by an avian vet using Ivermectin for this on FB.
The State Wildlife Resources ( Game and Fish) have been using and advocating this for a number of years. I will get you links on both.I'd be very interested to read this, if you can post the link.

The injectable Ivermectin can be given orally to treat viruses; there is a great article on West Nile Virus treatment by an avian vet using Ivermectin for this on FB. I don't habe the link at the moment, but can find it. I used it as the vet said on a couple of raptors with West Nile quite successfully.
There was an article as well on BYC discussing the worming dose for Ivermectin using either the powder or the injectible, which as a liquid, may be added to the drinking water as the only water source for a couple of days. You would need to see if you could locate it. If I come across it again I will flag it and send to you.
There was another article on here giving the dosage " for a Bantam" chicken as a quarter of a cc (the injectable but orally) . The only problem here is that a weight was not given, and Ivermectin goes by weight.
The FDA and USDA have no incentive to advocate for Ivermectin because it is a generic drug which is extremely cheap to make, and sell, so the pharmaceutical companies cannot claim royalties off it. The USDA and FDA are, unfortunately, under the thumb of the pharmaceutical companies and the medications they wish to have the public buy. I wish the FDA were truly a watchdog for the American Public, but sadly, they are not. If you go back over the last few years, you will see that people working for the FDA end up leaving and getting a very cushy job under pharmaceutical companies almost immediately until the end of their career. That speaks volumes.
There are many good articles in Pub med, Cell, NIH, Virology, Nature, etc on ivermectin's versatility and efficacy. However, ivermectin has recently been demonized by the media, who refuse to look at the studies, which are valid and in vivo, not just in vitro. The unfortunate reality is that the pharmaceutical companies do not want you using a cheap, generic drug because there is no money in it for them, and they are businesses, not charities. Pharmaceutical companies donate huge sums of money to the media for advertising their current products that are patented and bring in royalties ( and ivermectin is not in that group). The media isn't about to bite the hand that feeds them, so they go along with about anything Pfizer or the other big companies wish.

Do you have family members working directly for Lederle Labs, as I do?Sounds like crazy talk to me. Where is the supporting evidence for these conspiracies?..... besides Facebook, lol

Thanks for these. Other than the 1st article, which is about COVID, the others are about controlling the transmission by killing mosquitoes who ingest the blood from treated birds. Do you have any about Ivermectin actually treating West Nile? I have been searching but not finding any.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z
