I just spent a few minutes reading the post about how Ivermectin has been used in humans since at least the 80's to treat many types of disease. In the NIH article about it they say that both avermectin/ivermectin were discovered from a soil sample in Japan. The Kitasato Institute was the first group to put the info out. Going back to the SPARS paper that war-gamed a pandemic scenario, they made some bold predictions about how things would play out. For instance, they said,

"August The Corovax vaccination program met resistance from several groups: alternative medicine proponents, Muslims, African Americans, and anti-vaccination activists. Initially operating independently, these groups banded together via social media to increase their influence. September-Japan announced that it would not approve Corovax for use in Japan in favor of developing and producing its own vaccine."

Now here's the final paragraph from the NIH paper about Ivermectin:

"Not surprisingly, public health specialists worldwide are now calling for greater and more extensive use of ivermectin, labelling MDA of the ‘wonder drug’ quite simply as “an underutilized public health strategy”. In response, the Kitasato Institute has initiated a global collaboration to investigate all properties and potential of a range of ivermectin analogues, both individually and in combination, particularly with a view to having a ready-made alternative should resistance to current ivermectin monotherapy ever threaten ongoing disease elimination campaigns."

Is this just another coincidence, or did someone already know that Japan would counter the COVID narrative with decades of scientific proof for their own treatment?
