Japanese Covid Cases surged after the Tokyo Olympics.
In the third week of August the Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association recommended doctors to prescribe Ivermectin to covid patients.
Immediately you can see the graph dropped to very few new cases within a month.
Hate to be that guy but I live in Japan and have been trying to follow this news myself. As far as I remember, this guy was just advising that it be used, however, trials for it had not yet been completed, and so far I haven't heard anything about ivermectin actually being prescribed yet. A quick search for "イベルメクチン” (ivermectin) doesn't seem to reveal all that much.
The source in the OP doesn't seem to say anything other than that the chairman recommended it. While it's true that cases have started plummeting, I haven't seen evidence that it's because of actual prescriptions and treatments for ivermectin (but I would love that to be the case!).
My suspicion so far is that test numbers dropped off significantly after the Olympics, where they were no doubt testing FAR more people than usual. In Japan you (mostly) can't just walk up and get a test for free. It has to either be provided by your workplace/school/whatever, or you have to have had symptoms for at least a few days and then be under the supervision of the public health system. You CAN pay money to get a PCR test but it's like 22,000 yen (let's say $200 or something) so people aren't doing that unless they absolutely have to (i.e. need to travel or do something that requires a negative test).
Anyway if there's something that's slipped by me I'd love to be corrected. Last I heard re non-vaxx treatments in Japan was this, a story about a new treatment called Sotrobimab or something, which is similar to the other, already approved monoclonal antibodies treatment.
Thank you for the insight
Thank you.
As much as I want it to be true, we need to stop getting carried away with these unverified posts.
This kind of knowledge about Ivermectin is only growing. How long can the US just ignore how well it works in favor of these poisonous vaccines?
They are running several trials, one at the NIH, one at Minnesota University, and one at Duke (among many others). These are all double blind studies. You can disregard the NIH trial if you’d like but Duke and Minnesota should provide some pretty clear results within the next month or two with the steep rise in covid cases.
I will also add that to the FDAs credit, they haven’t said it doesn’t work, they’ve just said it isn’t approved for covid 19 (which is true) and that dosages could be dangerous if taken as suggested for animals.
Ivermectin toxcicity has been covered by Peak Prosperity on YouTube. Learn the truth there.
Taking any medicine I’m too high of dosage is dangerous, even Tylenol
Well, have to give them credit. Of course at animal dosages it could be dangerous. They're ignoring that people were adjusting for every 100lbs of human body weight instead of just taking a giant horse dosage.
I really do hate the news. They aren't news at all. I mentioned Ivermectin to my very liberal mom and her exact words were "isn't that the horse medicine they're warning everyone not to take?" I laughed and said, yes you recited the fake news information perfectly.
And so many people don't even realize Ivermectin has been approved for human use for years and now even Japan is claiming awesome results with it after their post-olympics outbreaks that were high. Helped quickly get theirs under control again.
It is disappointing, it is a safe drug when taken appropriately. They are running their trials and I am sure the numbers will prove out what we are seeing in India and Japan.
Soon as they eliminate their vaccine requirement I am definitely taking a vacation there.
