Why was the use of ivermectin to treat Covid-19 demonized?

Putting this in short; with ivermectin as an acceptable treatment or Covid-19, there would be no reason for the mRNA vaccines to be granted EUA.

The big question here is why didn’t the MOH and other health authorities around the world allow the parallel development of the two approaches to handling Covid-19; prevention and treatment? World health authorities put all their eggs in one basket: vaccines.

The MOH funded a study based upon a few questionable parameters, concluding the use of ivermectin was ineffective. This study contradicts the results of other studies on ivermectin in other countries. This really puts a question mark over the integrity of Malaysian research in the light of conflicting results overseas.

A number of studies are now emerging showing that ivermectin is in fact effective in treating Covid-19.

A landmark court ruling in the US has forced the US FDA to reverse its stance on doctors prescribing ivermectin for Covid-19. The Court of Appeals ruling on August 8 now recognizes the authority of medical practitioners to prescribe ivermectin to treat Covid. This precedent now reinforces the right of doctors to prescribe a drug for ‘off label’ use, as has been the case for decades. This reverses the FDA’s attack on doctors prescribing ivermectin during the Covid pandemic. This follows the Australian Therapeutic Goods Authority (TGA) ending the ban on prescribing ivermectin for ‘off label’ use in treating Covid-19 last May. The TGA had placed a ban on doctors prescribing ivermectin for Covid-19 treatment in 2021.

Dr Mike Magee, former physician spokesman for Pfizer, said in his book Code Blue: Inside America's Medical Industrial Complex,  published in 2019;

“Cosy relationships and generous gratuities have demonstrated a remarkable ability to corrupt even those we would instinctively put on the side of the angels, including members of the biomedical research community, deans of medical schools, directors of continuing medical education programs, officers at the NIH and FDA, and even seemingly altruistic patient advocacy organisations like the American Cancer Society”.

There needs to be a Royal Commission to look into this policy failure of health authorities. Unnecessary lives were lost because of it. Those who were responsible must be made accountable.
