(This page on Ivermectin is one of the first I put together in 2021, it is not well organised like other pages but the information is here)
Ivermectin is said, by many expert research doctor’s, to be one of the most promising drugs for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 symptoms. There are years of safety data on ivermectin to back up the safety of the dosage being used, yet the authorities continue to put up road blocks to it’s use for COVID-19.
Safety and efficacy of ivermectin has been demonstrated by in depth literature searches, data analysis, and field experience. It works. It stops hospitalisations of COVID-19 cases. The benefits have been shown to greatly outweigh any risk associated with the years old medication.
The main manufacturer of ivermectin, a now off-patent product is Merck, and in February 2021 they released a statement warning of it’s use. What they neglected to disclose was they were applying for emergency use authorisation for a new product, which if ivermectin was “demonstrated” to be successful, then an EUA for a new product couldn’t be justified, and profits will be lost.
On this page we have aggregated some key videos and links to information about Ivermectin for use as a prophylaxis or early treatment for COVID-19. If this product was demonstrated (which it has been) to be successful in preventing hospitalistion for COVID-19 disease, then the vaccines cannot be coerced or mandated and a State of Emergency would no longer exist. Vaccine manufactures would have to take back liability for their product, they will no longer be protected under EUA or Provisional Registration for their brand new technology vaccines.

If ivermectin was shown to be an effective treatment for COVID-19 then there could be no emergency use authorisation for the new technology, experimental, gene therapy COVID-19 vaccines.
“Public health was built on an obsessive global vaccination policy, which ivermectin would have threatened“
Dr Pierre Kory
Ivermectin was first brought to the public’s attention in late 2020
Dr Pierre Kory’s testimony at US Senate Committee Hearing for Early Treatments for COVID-19
The public became aware of ivermectin as a potential early treatment for COVID-19 when Dr Pierre Kory gave a presentation to the US senate committee on December 8th, 2020. This US government testimony video was deleted from YouTube within 10 days after 5 million views.
This link is how the mainstream media outlets label this doctor “anti-vaccine”, which in actual fact he does promote vaccination. But in this instance he is promoting early treatment to save lives based on his experience and that of his colleagues at FLCCC and globally.

Dr Kory is Chief Medical Officer of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a team of specialist critical care doctors who spend their days treating patients and wading through scientific literature. Their website contains a wealth of information, including more videos and tutorials.
They have been fighting to get this life saving information out, but the authorities refuse to listen.

The science of ivermectin for COVID-19 – meta data
September 2021 – TGA restrict ivermectin in Australia, based on advisory committee’s advice, who looked at international in-hospital use! Not early treatment. Remember it is drug companies that sponsor registration submissions, off-patent drugs are not cost effective for pharma to sponsor.

“…a drug, a medicine or a product that is on the ARTG is there for a specific indication. In this case, the specific indication for ivermectin—for which there’s been a dossier provided, evaluated by the TGA as robust, good clinical science—is that it is useful for the treatment of certain parasitic illnesses, be they gastrointestinal or skin based. No evidence has been presented to the TGA by the sponsor to demonstrate in any way, shape or form that ivermectin is useful in treating COVID-19. If the sponsor would like to do so, we’d be happy to consider that, because that’s the only way that the TGA is able to expand that indication.”
Health Products Regulation Group (HPRG) Chief Medical Adviser – Adj Prof Robyn Langham
- It would seem these same rules DO NOT apply to vaccines, which public health appear to recommend off-lable.
The TGA did not remove ivermectin from the market place. The TGA restricted off-label prescribing of ivermectin. To ensure there was drug available to those with relevant diseases that needed it…it was ordered from a safety perspective [after broad consultation]
…I can’t speak to what it was that encouraged the Indian government to use it.

May 12, 2020 – Japan to start clinical trials with ivermectin for COVID-19 – ARCHIVE, REF
- “Kitasato University will soon begin a clinical trial to confirm the efficacy of the antiparasitic drug “stromectol” (generic name ivermectin) against new coronavirus infections.
- “We have confirmed the effectiveness against the new coronavirus in in vitro experiments (in an artificial environment such as in a test tube). I decided to start a doctor-initiated clinical trial because I thought it was necessary to scientifically verify its clinical efficacy.”
- “Computer-based simulations have reported that ivermectin has a binding affinity for the main protease of the new coronavirus. The main protease is an enzyme that cleaves proteins translated from the viral genome and functions. Therefore, it is thought that ivermectin can suppress viral replication by inhibiting the main protease.”
- “It is also known that ivermectin inhibits proteins in host cells called importins. Importins are proteins that have the function of transporting various proteins into the (cell) nucleus. Therefore, it is thought that ivermectin binds to the importin and inactivates it, thereby inhibiting the entry of the virus into the nucleus.” .
- “We are consulting with Maruho (Osaka City), the distributor of the drug, regarding securing the investigational drug. (Merck’s Japanese subsidiary) MSD will apply for approval, so we are in contact with MSD.”

1974
1974 – In 1974, Distinguished Professor Omura discovered that avermectin, a compound produced by actinomycetes living in soil, had antiparasitic properties. Merck later modified it to create ivermectin. – REF (translated using google)
- Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug developed through joint research between Kitasato University Professor Emeritus Satoshi Omura, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015, and pharmaceutical giant Merck”.
- Merck launched ivermectin as a veterinary drug in 1981. Since 1987, it has been provided free of charge as a human drug to regions where river blindness is prevalent. In Japan, it was approved as a drug for “intestinal nematode disease” in 2002, and “scabies” was added in 2006.
