Ivermectin and ignorance

[sybonbon]

That’s a new one. Please don’t make statements like that without facts from a credible source to back it up. And Bitchute, Natural News, Epoch Times, Fakebook and War Room are not credible sources.

It's on the CDC. How vaccines work. Is that credible enough. Be well.

I read the article you refer to, @sybonbon , and I think you have misunderstood. The vaccines boost our immunity for the disease they are designed for; but then, over time, that immunity drops down. It’s still way higher than it would have been without the vaccine, but is decreasing from that initial high amount.

But the decrease does not reduce your immune “system”, only the immunity for that specific virus. So, after time has passed, a booster shot for the virus maintains protection against that virus.

For anyone who got vaccinated in my state, we were told it takes 2 weeks for the vaccine to work at the highest level of protection. During that time your immune system is working hard to prepare your body for the vaccine protection. We were advised to stay home for two weeks because our immune system was weakened at this time. This was told to everyone getting the vaccine. So if you're supposed to believe the person giving you this vaccine... .....let's just agree to disagree. Come to your own conclusion.

"Weakened" relative to the immunity that the vaccine provides at its full effect after two weeks. Not weakened below it's natural state of immunity in general. When your immune system is 'working hard' it is getting stronger, not weaker.

Because Covid is so contagious, they want you stay at home until the vaccine takes full effect. That's just common sense. It doesn't mean that the vaccine somehow harms your immune system.

Back on the topic of ivermectin, Dr. Topol is a physican and scientist. This morning, he tweeted:

That Nature paper he references, says, in part:

The paper’s withdrawal is not the first scandal to dog studies of ivermectin and COVID-19. Hill thinks many of the other ivermectin trial papers that he has scanned are likely to be flawed or statistically biased. Many rely on small sample sizes or were not randomized or well controlled, he says. And in 2020, an observational study of the drug was withdrawn after scientists raised concerns about it and a few other papers using data by the company Surgisphere that investigated a range of repurposed drugs against COVID-19.

“We’ve seen a pattern of people releasing information [about ivermectin] that’s not reliable,” says Hill.

I'm somewhat shocked that you would share a tweet. Just saying.

Well, I'm in NJ and was not told that. Realistically any vaccine takes a period of time to become effective and a booster to increase that effectiveness. Your immune system is not weakened during that time - it is just developing antibodies. Vaccines are not 100% and much is not known about this virus. Corona viruses mutate rapidly so I have long been dubious that any vaccine can provide complete immunity. This is why in addition to being vaccinated I still mask and social distance. Here in Hunterdon Co. many are doing the same.

Really? Why?

Edited to add: I wouldn't share random tweets that I don't check out the author first to make sure they are credible. Which I did, in this case, and he is. True not all tweets are good info; there's a lot of misinformation out there so one has to be diligent in checking out sources before blindly believing everything one sees on Twitter.

Someone told me in the medication aisle of T*C that he knew someone who had used durvet ivermectin to treat Covid. That was back in April/May. He was not planning on doing the same, but was skeptical of Covid in general.

I have heard that the otc ivermectin available is not the same as prescription ivermectin—because of changing laws regarding antibiotics. I can’t find anything about it online right now, it seems most search results lead to Covid related warnings, etc. Is that true to anyone’s knowledge?
