That study ya'll are referencing means nothing. If you look at the study it cites by the New England Journal of Medicine it specifies the study is done on people with accute symptoms for more than 7 days. It has always been put out that it was effective as a preventitive treatment or to begin taking it as soon as you exhibit any symptons. They have always said it's effectiveness is diminished the longer you wait to begin. Everybody can believe what they want, but come on. If they are going to do a study at least do the study with treatment as reccomended to test it's effectiveness.

This is a perfect example of the Gish Gallop. It takes so much more time and effort to disprove complete bullshirt than it does to spew it. There was never any reason to take Ivermectin seriously for Covid.

Yep,ivermectem is a anti parasite drug. It was never intended to fight a virus. Some of those who believed it are now

Covid is a virus not a parasite. It's that simple man

*Looks at study*

"We enrolled only patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19 and less than 7 days of symptoms"

Well.

When all this is said and done, and history judges us as a country with how this was managed, it’s going to be ugly. We continually as a nation put politics and the speaking points of said politicians in front of science. It’s sad. Ivermectin, masks, vaccines all of it. Completely a political game. The never ending focus on the small number of dead as a percentage, totally overlooking the 700,000 people who have died because of this virus, but also ignoring the long term lung, heart, kidney and pancreas problems it caused also. There’s a lot of people who will not ever be completely healthy again.

New COVID mutant 'XE' found in UK, more transmissible than Omicron sub-variant: WHO

A new COVID mutant 'XE' has been found in the UK, the World Health Organisation has said in its latest report and noted that it may be more transmissible than the BA.2 sublineage of COVID-19. XE is recombinant of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 sublineages of COVID-19.

GRAND PORTAGE, Minn. (AP) — To administer this COVID test, Todd Kautz had to lie on his belly in the snow and worm his upper body into the narrow den of a hibernating black bear. Training a light on its snout, Kautz carefully slipped a long cotton swab into the bear’s nostrils five times.

For postdoctoral researcher Kautz and a team of other wildlife experts, tracking the coronavirus means freezing temperatures, icy roads, trudging through deep snow and getting uncomfortably close to potentially dangerous wildlife.

They’re testing bears, moose, deer and wolves on a Native American reservation in the remote north woods about 5 miles from Canada. Like researchers around the world, they are trying to figure out how, how much and where wildlife is spreading the virus.

Scientists are concerned that the virus could evolve within animal populations – potentially spawning dangerous viral mutants that could jump back to people, spread among us and reignite what for now seems to some people like a waning crisis.

The coronavirus pandemic has served as a stark and tragic example of how closely animal health and human health are linked. While the origins of the virus have not been proven, many scientists say it likely jumped from bats to humans, either directly or through another species that was being sold live in Wuhan, China.

And now the virus has been confirmed in wildlife in at least 24 U.S. states, including Minnesota. Recently, an early Canadian study showed someone in nearby Ontario likely contracted a highly mutated strain from a deer………

Into the wild: Animals the latest frontier in COVID fight

Wildlife experts are searching for the virus that causes COVID-19 in deer, bears, moose and wolves in Minnesota's north woods.

Imagine being in a peaceful slumber and someone pokes a cotton swab up your nose five times. Humans.

The lengths we'll go to in order to perpetuate our own existence. Wouldn't wanna miss out on paying taxes and experiencing traffic jams now would we.

I get you have a super bleak view on life, but you're crossing into pure nihilism here lately.

While I can empathize, at least from my perspective, there's a lot to live for. The inconveniences of living are trivial compared to the love I have for my wife, children and friends (including you and many here). Even fun life experiences make it worthwhile, whether reading a book, watching Saints games (for better or worse ), going to see a good movie, hiking in nature, visiting the Grand Canyon/Niagara Falls, etc, etc.

Paying taxes? You can hire someone to do that for you. Traffic jams? I just listen to music and as long as I have enough gas, I'm good.

hiking in nature,

Above along with fishing is my saving grace. As long as there is woods and water I'm cool....

Yep, one of my kids is in that same boat. I just try to be there for her as much as I can. She's actually getting professional help, but she still struggles with it.

The world is a crappy place. I will never dispute that. But as someone who was recently at the precipice and kind of clawed my way back to a more stable place psychologically, I just worry about others who are in that place.
