World Cup Wobbles after Covid-19 scare as Aronian and others withdraw; Concerns for Caruana

Give all the players 15mg of Ivermectin, 50mg zinc, 3000IU vitamin D, 1000mg vitamin C, 250mg Quercetin, 10mg melatonin. Repeat the Ivermectin on day 3 and the vitamins each day. Carry on the tournament without worry, they will all be fine.

Peer reviewed meta-analysis in American Journal of Therapeutics:
journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/fulltext/2021/08000/ivermectin_for_prevention_and_treatment_of.7.aspx

The evidence that #41 links to has been retracted by the journal it was submitted to, on the grounds that:

'During review of the article in what the journal refers to as “the provisional acceptance phase,” Fenter says in the statement, members of Frontiers’s research integrity team identified “a series of strong, unsupported claims based on studies with insufficient statistical significance, and at times, without the use of control groups.”

The statement continues: “Further, the authors promoted their own specific ivermectin-based treatment which is inappropriate for a review article and against our editorial policies. In our view, this paper does not offer an objective nor balanced scientific contribution to the evaluation of ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID-19.”'

Rightwing figures worldwide reportedly have been supporting the use of Ivermectin (www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/16/huge-study-supporting-ivermectin-as-covid-treatment-withdrawn-over-ethical-concerns), but it has not met with any approval from major national or international agencies or organizations such as the FDA or the WHO.

Please do not follow advice such as the above unless it is clearly recommended by one of these agencies / organizations. Please also read this statement by the FDA:

The article you linked predates the peer reviewed paper fully published. You are incorrect.

@oldnewb So you're recommending medication, obviously without a medical degree, based on a 'meta-analysis' and for which the FDA and WHO say we need clinical trials before any short of use with the public? A medication that has already landed people in hospitals through misinformation like this?

That's either evil or ignorant.

Corporate greed has bastardized the entire process of medical discourse, in addition to most other facets of our lives today. The medical authorities so proudly referenced have been corrupted beyond comprehension, as has 90% of what constitutes "news" these days. Greed leads to corruption, which leads to agendas, propaganda and misinformation.

The Systematic Review I linked has no $$ backing. Ivermectin is off patent and yields no corporate riches. It also threatens emergency use "vaccines". Ignore left-wing/right-wing arguments. Follow the data. Follow the money. Follow the logic.

Did you actually read the study? I'm guessing not. The data has no bias either way. It is just data.

"Despite these findings, the National Institutes of Health in the United States recently stated that “there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19,”11 and the World Health Organization recommends against its use outside of clinical trials."

Update: The supposed "findings" were in vitro (which means in a test tube environment) and the supposed in vivo (actual people) studies were found to be plagiarized, had obviously faked data and did not establish a causal relationship even after the extensive data faking. Furthermore, the NIH finds that the dose of ivermectin required - if effective at all - would have to be 100x higher than the recommended dose and likely be fatal:

I love it when people link to single studies and non-peer reviewed sites (now lww, but covid19criticalcare) as if that's sufficient. This is hyperbolism. If you read the study yourself #41 which you are accusing others of not doing (I would also strongly suggest looking at any follow-up citations of that study), you would find that it is not as substantial as you would like.

But the media and quacks love finding even a single study to support strange claims, and knowing it's too much work for the average person to follow the trail, love to share misinformation.

Let me know when DOZENS of peer-reviewed studies support such a simple treatment. That's how many you can expect since so much research is going into COVID-19 still.

Also let me know when you've read all of the scientific rebuttals and retractions of the study, since you're so fast to criticize others for not reading the study to begin with. (Someone who reads the study will note that much of the data in it is simply copied from one patient to the next.)

In my country covid deaths equal average life expectancy, and are actually slightly above. I can't wait for this farce to end - and I think way too many people just don't really want for it to end. I know not popular opinion on site with these political leaning, but I will say it anyway.

according to data from October 2020 Uk also had COVID average age of mortality at 82.4, which is above average life expectancy in UK (now UK isn't my country, but I've seen same with other countries besides mine and UK as well)
www.thetimes.co.uk/article/average-age-of-coronavirus-fatalities-is-82-pcwqrzdzz

here is more official, and more up to date data ok UK - which now put it at 80.4
www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/averageageofthosewhohaddiedwithcovid19

It actually beats average life expectancy by about 0.6 years now.
I think this strongly suggests that they are just registering all hospital admissions with positive test that went on to die as covid deaths, now there could be some people actually dying from it, hence beating average life expectancy by 0.6, but hasn't it gone down now with all the economic turmoil, job losses, being locked in and masked up (getting unhealthy CO2 levels as per recent study). So I am not seen strong evidence so far that is is a real danger to anybody who isn't with one leg in the afterlife already.

I know this offends a lot of people who love what's going on, but I feel like everyone needs to start to speak up, as there is no signs that goverments plan to ever end these measures. I don't actually believe they are good and helpful even if the virus is somewhat dangerous, it's clearly no Ebola though.

Have you ever heard of "The Game Of Life"? John Conway? The famous mathematician? He died due to COVID-19 complications.

How about the author of A Song of Ice & Fire (Game of Thrones)? He's alive, but has been largely quarantined for over a year now because he's lost several personal friends to COVID-19.

Here's a list for you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_COVID-19#List

Yes, most of these people are older - which are the most vulnerable population to COVID-19. You want to hand me your grandfather and grandmother so I can chop their heads off? What about your mother, father or other family members 50 years or older with pre-existing conditions?

Yes, they are at a higher risk of dying and might pass away soon, but it doesn't mean we don't want as much time with them as we can get. COVID-19 has taken that away from us.
