So I should ask the Nobel prize winner to find out he doesn’t have an opinion on the matter and that is supposed to be evidence that it doesn’t work?

Haruo Ozaki made his recommendation to use Ivermectin as a treatment for covid on February 9th, 2021. Not exactly “early days” of the pandemic. It was well over a year into the virus spreading and nearly a year into it officially being a pandemic.

As far as I can tell there is no “current consensus” regarding Ivermectin outside of the mainstream narrative that its “deboonked conservative quackery”. Looking into it further there seems to be one side that is willing to point to clinical data like Haruo did when making his recommendation and one side reflexively demonizing it as “horse paste” because the main stream media told them that hospitals were “overflowing” with “ivermectin overdoses”. Its only when pushed that they then point to these more recent studies that supposedly “definitively show” ivermectine is ineffective.

Coincidently, only one of these positions seems to have a financial incentive for big pharma but im sure that’s not relevant to the conversation.

Looking at the timeline of events regarding Ivermectin there isnt a single study from before the topic became a political issue that found it to be ineffective. As soon as it became a political topic of contention however we suddenly get several studies with dubious funding(all of which can be traced to certain key players who stood to gain financially from ivermectines being found ineffective) and questionalble methodology like using much lower and more infrequent dosing saying that its ineffective…but as with much of the conversation surrounding the vid we get “the experts agree”, “the consensus is” and my favorite “the science is settled”.

Anyone who’s actually looked into the matter and is honest would conclude that at best, we still dont actually know whether its effective or not because the more recent studies on the matter seem to have gone out of their way to ensure that any effect from the ivermectin wouldn’t be found.

Too many minorities at my water park

You dont gotta lie to kick it. You just wanted to see this as a yugioh card huh?

Yea, I wasn’t going to comment in this thread any further because I felt we had reached a natural end to the convo but then this came across my screen and I just had to share

I see no reason to believe we ever did

I almost just wrote nas car but that didn’t read right

Holy shit. I would be too had i read that. Even reading your title of it is giving me pause. It IS cool tho to have a happy face or a lightning bolt burned into my leg hair

Home phones were still fairly common when I the iPhone launched. I had two separate house phones at the time. One of them was a Nascar phone shaped like a Nascar car.

Here’s a yugioh card I made with AI of lemmy disapproving of this type of fun

This is a GOOD thing actually

Gonna take a LOT of “honing”

Not sure really. To be fair to it i did ask it to generate all three at once. It did the effect text and even card type all on its own. It does much better generating them one at a time, especially when you give it a little direction.

You know, im not sure. To be fair to the AI I had it generate all three of these at once and i did it with just the names. It invented the rest like effect and even car type on its own. It tends to do better generating them one at a time like this

You really should try using AI here. Your shitposts would be SO much better. But you would have to hop off the general “i hate everything AI” bandwagon.

Damn, you guys are so predictable. Check this out, I made this two comments ago because I could tell your type from a mile away. I’ve got one more locked and loaded two but you havnt dropped the buzz word…yet

Thats crazy, must be why all those news organizations had to make up stories about people going untreated from gun shot wounds because the hospitals were overwhelmed with people overdosing on ivermectin.

I remember the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association Haruo Ozaki publicly recommending the use of ivermectin for treating covid based on several observational studies but I dont remember either of the people who won the Nobel prize for ivermectin ever publicly stating anything about its use in treating covid.

When you make a shitpost about the least funny people on the planet

I hope it didn’t take you too long to scroll through that whole history there.

The AI i get. Its trendy to hate Ai regardless of how its used. The yugioh, that’s on you for hating shiny cardboard and i wont stand for it.
