Metaphor time: I'm happy if our boats are sailing in formation for a while, but boats drift away and new ones come in all the time.

Though the Q team is ahead of the whole flotilla doing I-don't-know-what (and God above them), Trump is the obvious public face of it all, and his big shiny boat is easy to spot in front and make sure we're pointed in the most useful direction.

Elon seems to be helping us right now, though he has shady connections in his past. Cool. I can deal with that.

DeSantis has been pretty consistently on our side, even if he signs questionable laws favoring "a certain foreign country" that violate our first amendment rights. Hmm. Okay.

I'm still happy to on-load the supplies these guys are passing over to us for the time that they're sailing nearby. If they leave, that's fine too.

The guy on the big shiny yacht seems to know his stuff, so that's where I'm focused.

I located the official Kowa Pharmaceutical company announcement on the effectiveness of Ivermectin on the Omicron variant. Thought people might find it interesting.

The Kowa Pharmaceuticals web site has this announcement in PDF form on its home page, in the news section near the bottom of the page, the one dated 2022.01.31.

PRESS RELEASE January 31, 2022

Antiviral effect of Kowa ivermectin on "Omicron strain" confirmed

Joint research (non-clinical trials) between Kowa Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Kowa”), with Kitasato University, of the drug "Ivermectin" used in Phase III clinical trials (development code: K-237) for the treatment of Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, has confirmed that, just as with existing variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta variants), the same antiviral effects have been confirmed for the Omicron variant.

As announced in July 2021, Kowa received a request directly from Professor Satoshi Omura, special honorary professor at Kitasato University, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [translator’s note: for the development of ivermectin] about conducting clinical trials of ivermectin as a therapeutic drug for Covid-19 infections. He believes that it is the mission of pharmaceutical companies to contribute to the treatment of coronavirus infections and protect the health of the people, and we are conducting clinical trials to confirm the efficacy and safety of ivermectin against Covid-19 infections.

Ivermectin has been distributed by the WHO to infected areas as a treatment for parasitic infections for over 30 years. Especially in certain African countries, it has been confirmed to be safe enough for volunteers to distribute directly to people. In addition, ivermectin has been reported to suppress the invasion of SARS-CoV-2 into cells and inhibit replication, and is expected to be repositioned as a Covid-19 infection therapeutic drug (tablet). In this clinical trial, while administration and dosage are different from those already approved for the treatment of parasitic infections, the efficacy and safety are in the process of being confirmed.

Kowa will contribute to the treatment of Covid-19 infections by confirming the clinical effect of ivermectin on SARS-CoV-2 and providing it to the public as soon as possible.

• Overseas, there have been reports of harmful events resulting from the use of high-dosage animal-use ivermectin, which is dangerous for humans. Kowa clinical trials for Ivermectin are conducted in accordance with the strict standards set by the GCP (Good Clinical Practice) standard for conducting clinical trials of pharmaceuticals for humans.

(This is a massaging by me of the Google Translate machine loltranslation into something resembling English. I’ll paste the original Japanese text in the comments.)

The most recent version of the pdf I have is this "Version 1.Q" from November 2019. Was there ever a more updated version of this compilation released? The author's links at Twitter and Patreon are of course long gone.

(Note that at 324 MB it was too big for Catbox and I had to upload it at Litterbox, so the link will expire in 3 days. I can always re-up it if somebody needs it.)

Here in Japan, a family member just found out that one of her dog-walking acquaintances has also been following Q. Reportedly wound up having a long chat in the park, with both dogs sitting there bored out of their skulls for an hour. The husband of this friend is apparently even more on-board, and both are resisting the vax push like we are (posted in another thread that I lost an aunt-in-law 48h after her first Pfizer shot, so our family is having none of that).

It took a circuitous conversational route to finally get to the point of even tentatively mentioning Q, but both parties are now happy to have someone else to talk to. People are keeping their cards close to the vest, but they’re out there, and paying attention to everything that’s going on. It’s a worldwide awakening.
