Nope, never said that. I said it is used for a strain of covid. The particulars I do not know nor worry too much about since it is not the primary reason I have ever used it for.
You said:
I’m curious to see a link to something about ivermectin being used to treat cows for something other than worms.
I clearly said it fights a strain. Just like old labels of Listerine and Clorox used to say.
soooo...Yes, that is it primary and original use but it is on the very long list off label used medicines.
To be clear, I am not advocating one way or the other. But there is about as much information on the web for using it as there is against using Ivermectin. It is out there, just look for it.
Here is a random one I grabbed.
Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19... : American Journal of Therapeutics
mortality, in secondary outcomes, and in chemoprophylaxis, among people with, or at high risk of, COVID-19 infection. Data sources: We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were...journals.lww.com
What is ivermectin used for?
Like i said, again, I am not advocating either way.
What I couldn't find in that study (possibly because it isn't commonly tracked) was which strain folks were infected with. I expect those infected with the Delta strain have higher immunity to Delta than those who were previously infected with Alpha (or another strain). But I haven't read any discussion of this yet.Yeah, not all that surprising. Couple of notes. If you get it, and presuming you survive without long term ill effects, they still recommend the vaccine. That's mentioned in the article. Also, from the article
This is kind of like polio. Reinfection of polio was very rare, and most kids who survived it were immune for the rest of their lives. They were also dealing with significant physical issues for the rest of their lives like paralysis. I see this as kind of like that.
Which reminds me, I'm probably way overdue, unless that was part of the protocol prior to my trip to India.
Is it fighting a strain of covid, or somthing caused by a different coronavirus?
My MA training has helped me more in non-martial situations than I could ever want it to help me in fights.
There's a lot of that going around now. Prior to Delta, the vaccinated were apparently difficult to infect. Now we're mostly harder to kill.
Yeah, they are unable to avoid exposure. Unfortunately, some of the guys I've worked with at the courthouse chose to oppose masks. They didn't have a choice on the vaccine (sheriff required it).Semi related, not so fun fact. COVID is the leading cause of line of duty deaths for police, by a lot.
167 out of 280 so far this year and it’s speeding up. The number on June 30 was less in the 70s.
243 out of 372 last year
Each are more than the total number of line of duty deaths in 2019, which was 151.
In our county, the sheriff opposed masking, to the point that he refused to enforce mask mandates, even in governement buildings (unless the senior occupants of those buildings required them).
It might have been, and there would have been records, of course. If you're not sure, just get one next time you see your provider. If you're still current, it won't hurt anything.
But the longer we drag this out, the more likely there will be a strain that is resistant and virulent. That is the concern. Initial deaths were a result of the pandemic. But all (most) of the deaths since the vaccine was widely available are self inflicted and entirely our fault. If folks would just get the damn vaccine and think a little about the common good….
What I've seen (nothing updated recently, so there may be newer info) was that pre-Delta it lowered transmission risk (both outward and inward) significantly. The risk of outward transmission is mitigated much less with the Delta variant. With that being the dominant variant, it's what most media reports on.
Yup. Combination of anti mask, anti vaccine, and lack of choices.
I've yet to meet a dog that suggested anyone should go back to work, unless they had a habit of taking the dog.
Speaking of dogs. My wife is trying to convince me to adopt a chihuahua. We have two cats, a Pyrenees and a St. Bernard. Why do we need another animal in the house?
He said a strain of Covid. I don't know the general usage, but that could refer to other coronavirus-induced diseases (other than Covid-19).
