WOW! You just blew my mind! I had no idea since all the propaganda said "Horse Dewormer"! I even see bottles of it at the feed store in the isle for the horses so just assumed it was true. Once again your pure journalism shows me the truth in the puddin! Thanks Johnathan.

At the risk of developing a health emergency that Ivermectin cannot address, this does make my blood boil. And boil and boil. The USA practices money science and money medicine. This is not about COVID and Ivermectin, but the system that cannot and will not promote prevention because prevention does not make money. That leaves us, the consumers, to take control of our health. We don't need them and their prescription pads to practice prevention and now we don't need them to give us permission to use Ivermectin.

And even now, all the people who NEED to read this article, will refuse to.

Too busy gloating about the most recent Impeachment/Indictment of Orange Man, and laughing at the idea anyone called Biden could commit a crime.

And oh yes, saying all those who do belong in 'Idiocracy'.

At least Israel's apartheid has slowly seeped through - except to Congress, Westminster...

Turns out you can make the uncritical believe nearly ANYTHING - as long as you say only the stupid believe the opposite.

The irony there is mindboggling.

This piece is quite misleading and disingenuous. Ivermectin is a medication used to treat parasites. SO, as a human, if you have mites or scabies, it could be an effective treatment. However, it would have no effect on COVID 19 because COVID 19 is a virus -- a completely different and unrelated organism. It was Trump and his various medical and non-medical nutcases who somehow promoted the use of Ivermectin, which if relied upon to treat COVID 19, as many subsequently did, likely led to untold deaths because a completely useless treatment was used instead of one that could possibly treat a virus like COVID 19.

All of the other stuff here about pharma excesses and profits and conspiracies, and so forth, is irrelevant; and, again, very misleading in this context. Talk about drinking the CoolAide!

Wonderful Nobelprijs 2015 😂

aww... it's just the rules of the game called capitalism, which quite some time ago was predicted by Joel Kovel to sink the ship.

The people who need most of all to read this probably won’t. It’s tragic and infuriating, especially when they’ll fall for the propaganda all over again when the next “current thing” comes along.

Superb observations as always. Given that I'm working on an NHS case study, this article couldn't have come at a better time. I shall certainly be making reference to it.

Hello Jonathan,

Big pharma doesn't just support the media, the media is outright owned by the same mega conglomerate that owns pharma.

Vanguard and BlackRock corporations have controlling stock holdings in media, pharma, weapons, food, chemicals, oil etc. They are the largest, of a block of major corporations with interlocking ownership, that own the infrastructure of the western world.

Please check this out for yourselves. This is not a conspiracy theory: go on stockzoa.com and dig into the ownership of all of these companies. Often, Vanguard and BlackRock are shown to be the owners right on top. Other times, they own the corporations that own the one you are checking out.

For some reason, people are just not noticing this. It is easily traceable by anyone who has good internet access.

Jonathan, this ownership pattern is a major factor in making things operate the way they do. It is very important. Yet, it seems unknown. Please check this out and write about it!

Yeah, it makes my blood boil. But not as much as that other thing you allude to, the capturing of virtually everything to service the ruling power structure. We’re educated to be spoon fed fools, our laws are legalised immorality for the wealthy and powerful, and stay in your place for the rest. The arts have generally fallen, academia, social media, technology, culture in virtually every form is now in service of the power structure. That really makes my blood boil..... this is one shoe in Imelda Marcos’ shoe cupboard.....

You may not know Jon, but determined MDs who used IVM intelligently, and more importantly their patients, all know that the Nobel Prize winning unlicensed drug (cheap) helped many avoid both potentially fatal cvd outcomes and vacks outcomes. Talk to Kory, Marek, Lawrie, countless others...

Isn’t the sign of our strange times that to debate anything questioning the mainstream narrative, one is forced to insert caveats? Thank you, Jonathan.
