The rise and fall of a coronavirus ‘miracle cure’
As people reach for doses of the anti-parasitic meant for horses, drug regulators step in
In just 12 months, an affordable anti-parasitic has made its way from a humble head-lice treatment to being touted as a "miracle cure" for coronavirus — getting an audience before the U.S. Senate and making its way into official government guidelines.
Veterinarians have seen a rush on doses of ivermectin meant for large animals as people battle to get hold of doses meant for humans, while black markets cash in and a fervent media campaign pushes inconclusive research.
The Czech Republic now allows its off-label use, while Slovakia imports tens of thousands of doses. Promising research on the drug's potential to treat and prevent coronavirus, combined with desperation over rising case numbers and deaths and a tidal wave of disinformation, has led to use of the drug skyrocketing in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Latin America and South Africa.
Along with treating animal parasites, the medication has also been used for many years in pill and cream form for humans to treat a variety of conditions such as scabies, head lice and river blindness. It has long been hailed as a wonder drug, and the drug’s discoverers, William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura, were awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine due to its ability to treat multiple diseases.
The catch: The world’s leading medicines regulators have consistently warned against its use for coronavirus. Last week, the European Medicines Agency stated that the evidence doesn’t support its use for coronavirus outside of clinical trials, and warned that toxicity at high doses "cannot be excluded." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned on March 5 that overdosing on the drug could even lead to death, noting multiple reports of patients being hospitalized after self-medicating.
“All good conspiracy theories or lies have a bit of truth to it — that's what makes them good,” said Carlos Chaccour, assistant research professor at Barcelona Institute for Global Health and one of the first researchers to raise concerns about the drug's use for coronavirus.
In this case, it’s known that ivermectin has some antiviral properties — so researchers were right to investigate it at the start of the pandemic, he said.
In fact, Chaccour knows ivermectin better than most. He began work on the drug’s ability to kill malaria vectors in 2007, and when people began dying around the world from a new virus early in 2020, Chaccour turned to the area in which he is an expert.
His work both supports the possibility that ivermectin could be used against coronavirus and debunks dodgy studies on the drug. This has made him an enemy to both sides, and even led to his wife receiving threats. Chaccour said he’s been named "an assassin on the payroll from big pharma" and conversely "naive and advocate [for ivermectin]."

>They hold ivermectin to a higher clinical standard than their own fucking vaccines.
Sounds like you've had a bit too much to think.
>Is this related to the terminated satellite rocket launch?

FBI agents share "greatest untold story of 9/11" 20 years later
The FBI's New York office was in disarray after agents were forced to evacuate amid the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 — unsure if their building in lower Manhattan would be another target.
FBI agents made their way through thick plumes of smoke and falling debris to rescue as many people as possible and gather more information. After hearing from officials in Washington, D.C., agents knew they had a huge responsibility: to find out who orchestrated the attack.
Barry Mawn, then assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York office, scrambled to find a nerve center near the site. He recalls that critical challenge in the documentary "26th Street Garage: The FBI's Untold Story of 9/11," which is available to stream on Paramount+ on Thursday, September 9.
"We're not going to go any place which is identifiable as being law enforcement or the FBI," Mawn said. "And I said it had to be large enough to house a lot of people. I want it secured, and I want it fairly close to Ground Zero."
"The agents reluctantly said, 'Well, we could go to the 26th Street Garage,'" continued Mawn. The 26th Street Garage is the automotive garage of the FBI's New York headquarters, located a short ride from Ground Zero on 26th Street and the West Side Highway.
Special Agent Kristy Kottis said her immediate reaction to the suggestion of moving the Bureau's command center to an automotive garage was, "How the hell is this going to work?"
"I was a little bit skeptical," Mawn agreed. "It's not going to be ideal."
Looking back, Kottis said, "The 26th Street Garage is the greatest untold story of 9/11."
