I put those links up to compare severity between countries around the world. My understanding is that use of Ivermectin in Africa is well known...I believe the WHO distributes most of it, and has good records.Prawn Connery wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:04 pmHey Bob, I couldn't find any mention of ivermectin in any of those links. But my initial response to why infection and death rates appear to be lower in Africa compared to other continents would be one word: under-reporting.
It's pretty common knowledge Africa is the least developed continent. It makes perfect sense to me that the highest rates of infection are reported are in the countries that are most developed (with the best communications and government networks).
I'm sure there are many factors at play, the use of Ivermectin just being one of them. Saw a video from an African doctor who was looking at all available data to try to determine why Africa generally has seen lower rates than the rest of the world. He does think Ivermectin is a contributing factor...as well as: under reporting, the lower population density, the lower average age of the population, and the lower rate of obesity. Interestingly he found that location of covid cases very closely mapped out the occurrence of obesity.
Yeah, and Bangladesh too I think...both of which have high covid rates. So that might be evidence countering. But those two countries also have the highest population density of the world.And isn't ivermectin widely used in India? (Or at least they tried.)
Sleep on my woolly friend, sleep on.If it is the truth you seek, then the first question I would be asking is: if ivermectin is so cheap and effective, why are hardly any nations prescribing it? Surely the whole world is not in on this conspiracy about big pharma trying to prevent everyone from using it?
If ivermectin worked so well, medics around the world would be using it. You guys have not come up with one single, plausible reason why healthcare systems around the world have rejected it as a treatment.
Sorry guys, big pharma conspiracy theories don't cut it for me. It simply defies common sense.
Here in the US...
Pharma funds the agencies responsible for regulating them. Those agencies have not authorized it's use for covid, going so far as to publicly ridicule it's use.
Pharma funds the politicians that make policy that regards them. Current president Biden has received more $$ from them than any other politician in history...by a long shot.
Pharma funds the media that reports on them. CNN...
And our pharma funded team pretty much tells the rest of you fukkers what you can and can't do. Why else do you think we have military bases all over the world?...world peace?... ...........control.
