This drug has been around 50 years and is inexpensive and safe

So all the frontline covid19 critical care alliance doctors are wrong? What is a high dose in your opinion doctor?

[C.Steamer]

Really great to see that most people are seeing straight through this propaganda. 👍

Saved my dad’s life. My doctor prescribed it for me and I now have it on hand in the event I catch COVID.

[fr_reynolds]

The drug is dangerous at the wrong dose, yeah so is aspirin dum dum 😜

[dezknutz]

Notice he keeps saying in a large dose or in the wrong dose so why don't you just take it in the right dosage

[ericholley]

Water is deadly at high doses as well!

[leaterry]

My covid symptoms were ongoing for weeks and I was miserable. My doctor prescribed Ivermectin. 6 days and my symptoms are gone!

[hrisafenio]

my dad just recovered from leukemia and a bone marrow transplant. got covid and took ivermectin. only lost his taste for about 4 days

The studies have been very small. Whether it’s effective or not isn’t conclusive. A man of science telling people something doesn’t work, without evidence to that end is committing malpractice.

[TheDragon]

Instead of letting 'experts' decide everything, lets make people who tried it share their own experience.

[justinreilly]

It would be nice if this “expert” actually reviewed the science before giving advice.

[rivervac]

There is only one question to ask "Why are we putting so much trust in our government?"

[CrowCreekOutdoors]

If they warn against its use, they don’t want CV19 to go away. Gotta ask yourself why.

[JP-sqdg]

Except doctors in my area are prescribing it because it works soooo……

[providence]

Ivermectin Saved my husbands life so this man saying it’s a treatment that doesn’t work has blood on his hands

[stevecatlin]

30% of the world is taking it as we speak. The Chief scientist of the WHO could face the death penalty for saying it doesn't. She is being taken to court by the Indian Bar Association. Japan's top doctor in Tokyo is recommending all doctors in Japan to prescribe it.

Saved my neighbors life…spo2 80s with marked suspense…mowing his lawn two days later….you sir are a quack

[Kane]
