No, its simply not sufficient when it comes to human health and an infectious disease. More research and going beyond flawed observational studies is the key if its going to form part of the drugs available to fight covid.
Its not "snake oil", as we all know what it is now, its a de-worming medication used predominantly in animals, and sometimes in humans. Now it may help with fighting covid, but there is not enough evidence or logic to support that, and the studies that have been done are not stringent enough to support the claims to the point where they should drop all other treatments in its place (which HAVE gone through rigorous testing).
If you have more confidence in a pill that is not totally scientifically proven to fight covid (and intended for a very different purpose), rather than a vaccine programme administered to hundreds of millions of people that has, then you might have to question why you feel so strongly against the vaccines and why you seem to lower the bar when it comes to ivermectin (on covid, i don't care if you have ringworm).
Also, you should answer my previous question. Why don't you have the AZ vaccine given that your main concern over the vaccines was the mRNA aspect? You've downplayed the pandemic throughout, insisted its no danger, yet you seem to be getting very excited about a possible other treatment for covid outside of the vaccines, and only show contempt and skepticism for ALL the vaccines.

Also worth noting that its not just India that have trialed Ivermectin to treat covid. Brazil bought tens of millions of doses and did not see any change in death rates - “the shape of COVID curves did not exhibit any modification when comparing groups of treated and untreated people from the same area”.
Zimbabwe championed ivermectin earlier on in the year as covid deaths fell, but then they rose again later to a similar level despite the continual use of the drug.
Its not to say there is no value for using ivermectin, but its reckless to cite inconclusive or debunked studies and trash other proven genuine treatments. More studies and trials need to take place. We know how dumb some people are, and they are the ones in most jeopardy, who have bought into the narrative that vaccines are a hoax, or dangerous and change your DNA etc, This has led to some of them trying to source ivermectin outside of a doctor, as an alternative to treat covid. This is clearly unwise, but we know how gullible some people are. They associate "masks" and vaccines as some sort of conspiracy created by the "state" to control them, which then clouds their judgement on that actual point and the efficacy of masks and vaccines.

Why bother to risk a vaccine against a disease that the average age of it's victims is 82 and the average age of death is 81in England? Am I not seeing something? Don't say "to protect others" because the opposite is true. Vaxed people carry a higher viral load than the unvaxed if they get it. Here's a question that's puzzled me- Why were all deaths of people credited to the 'rona if they died within 4 weeks of testing positive no matter what they died of? Why are deaths of the vaccinated up to 3 weeks post vax, counted as unvaccinated? And as far asdrug trials are concerned, how many times has Pfizer been found guilty of fiddling the results, and most of the rest of them too?

No, TP, just no. While its possible that some can carry a larger viral load and be vaccinated, but its mostly just not the case at all and the vaccines are able to reduce spread. Its not going to contain it entirely, but it definitely has been shown to reduce the virus spreading - same applies to wearing a mask. You're simply parroting more debunked claims rather than scientifically proven results. I understand you want it to fail and for you to be right all along, but you have chosen the path where you are desperately and selectively seeking out one bogus claim after another.
Again, downplaying the virus and saying it only kills old folks....yes, and so what? You suddenly don't appreciate the elderly? Its also been known to seriously impact younger people without underlying health conditions....and besides, many people over about 30 have some "underlying health conditions" anyway! You are the kind of person who won't believe it until it bites them - or a close relative, and until then you'll arrogantly dismiss protective face masks and vaccines which HAVE saved tens thousands of lives in the UK alone already. All for the price of a "small, sharp scratch" feeling on the arm (we're yet to develop scales and forked tongues us vaccinated sheeple).
Stop repeating the same debunked stuff peddled by some of the biggest conmen in the world. You might be quite right to show mistrust to someone like Bill Gates, but have you seen the types of individuals involved in the anti-vaccine and anti-mask movements? Think January 6th Capitol Building, and you'll have your allies in mind.

Yes, I agree. The within 28 days count is a bit silly; and of course many genuine covid deaths within the 28 days will not be picked up. This is yet one more example of why inter-country comparisons are so dodgy. But, of course, within a particular country (if it keeps its, perhaps, idiotic counting the same) reductions in infection or death rates will still indicate that it is getting something right.

I hope your inevitable covid infection is as uneventful as you expect it to be. I genuinely mean that. I had the old kent variant before i got vaccinated, and it was deeply unpleasant and wouldn't wish it upon anyone, especially to those older than myself. Perhaps you already caught it but was asymptomatic. That would probably be the best outcome I guess if you're not going to use conventional treatment/vaccines.

I chatted for a while wondering if it was wise but I'm far too much much of a gentleman to forsake a lady in distress!! Later in 2020 I was visiting a very close relation in hospital with all the symptoms a day or two before the news broke. It was months before I put 2 and 2 together - it was probably the pestilence. At the time I felt a bit run down but it was a stressful situation, visiting hospital in the cold wet winter nights and returning to empty shops like East Berlin in the cold war, so I thought nothing of it. I must be resistant to this strain of virus but I eat strategically, take vitamin supplements and exercise bit. Quite seriously, I think a lot of fuss is being made of nothing out of the ordinary but some serious financial and/or political power play is afoot and there's nothing new about that.

I'm not saying there are no benefits to supplementing with vitamins in tablet form, but its no good substitute for the more complex nutritional values from vitamins within foods and how the body processes them.
Anyways, "a lot of fuss out of the ordinary"? If you had worked at any hospital over the last 18 months, you simply wouldn't be saying that. Its not just a "seasonal flu", i doubt Boris Johnson would end up on a ventilator from catching the man-flu, ICU's totally stacked and the number of excess deaths be so high if it were nothing beyond the ordinary.
Also, why don't you take a covid antibody test? See if you might have caught it when you thought you did, or perhaps more recently. Or have you a strong view against the antibody test where you wouldn't even take the test it in fear it would capture some "data" that the Rothschild Global Government would use against you in the future?

TP, i suppose its not all that hard to manipulate or view figures to fit ones own agenda. Every side of the argument will try to mislead in that regard, just to varying levels. We should be merciful that during lockdowns and mask mandates, the "good old" flu was suppressed to an extent not seen in previous years. As for hospital beds being free, does it not occur to you that many hospitals were locked down for routine appointments/surgery? Instead, the hospital ICUs capacity were limited, because covid patients were packing them out in a way not seen before. This was the issue with lack of available "beds".
Excess deaths in the UK were higher in 2020 than in previous 5 years, and that was due to covid deaths. Actual hospital deaths fell, as people who may/would have died in hospital died instead at their private residence, or in care homes (which saw large increases). You have every right to interpret stats as you wish, but the majority of experts in the field of medicine have a general consensus that deaths are up due to covid19, and the raw data is there for them to see that. I can see why you'd think there could be bias, but have you never considered you may have your own bias and interpretation, and that could be flawed as well? You seem so sure its a conspiracy (or whatever softer word you'd like to call it), yet every time you have presented "evidence", I've been disappointed with your findings - there is little scientific rigour that i'd hope for it to be reliable. It makes me also feel uncomfortable that a large proportion of the anti-vax, covid-denier groups are fully of opportunistic right-wing (predominantly) grifters and bad actors. This does not fill me with confidence, neither should it you, and yet you're still comfortable siding with them.

Memory deteriorates with age I know but I can't recall any lockdowns in the days of yore. No mask mandates in shops and certainly no nightly propaganda broadcasts by the government advertising the daily death toll. We've just had the worst summer for years; it might be better next year, it might be worse, in which case should we look forward to compulsory overcoat mandates? I'm surprised that you haven't noticed that the real right wing are moving in a very fascistic manner. The attack on small to medium business is gaining momentum, the divide between the global plutocracy and the rest of us is widening with increasing speed. Do you think it's a coincidence? Is the highest death rate for five years is a good reason to accept a totalitarian government ruling by decree? If you think that's left wing you might as well change your name to Mussolini. His description of fascism was the merging of corporations with the state. We're already there.

The gradual variances in deaths over the past 20 or 30 years never saw an obvious spike like it did from 2019 to 2020. At least not without an obvious cause such as world war 1, world war 2 and the "Spanish" flu pandemic.

Yes, in 1918 there was a smaller population, so therefore 611k deaths in 1918 compared with 608k in 2020 (and the 2nd highest in recorded british history) has a bunch of caveats attached to it, and it clearly cost the UK population a lot more compared to today, no argument from me, and I'm happy to make that clear. Thats why I initially didn't go back that far, and used 5-10 years, as medical advances, and population aren't as drastic as 100 years ago for obvious reasons. We didn't have a National Health Service back then either for starters (and just came out of a war and with another global pandemic hitting), but i still think its a significant stat to say that its the highest year on record of deaths aside from 1918. Its a clear spike and down to covid, which was the biggest cause of recorded deaths in England and Wales in 2020. In 2021 it may be slightly less, but probably will biggest cause of death again. We may be able to punt it down the list for 2022 if the vaccine roll-out continues its trajectory of success and we don't get some mutated strain. So far, so good.
