You may remember a few weeks back, I did a piece which mentioned book burning. Well, there is a new book which hundreds of big shots would obviously like to see burned. They don’t want you to see or read this book!
Pierre Kory, MD, one of the most vocal proponents of Ivermectin for COVID-19, has the support of publishing house Simon & Schuster, which is slated to distribute his upcoming book: The War on Ivermectin: The Medicine That Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the COVID Pandemic, early next year. Kory documents the critical care physician’s efforts to push for Ivermectin in COVID-19 treatment protocols, and what he calls a corrupt and concerted effort from the medical establishment to deny its efficacy.
Ivermectin is a drug which could have saved millions of lives, says Kory, which the sly reporters twist into “the widely discredited drug Ivermectin could have”…
The orthodox medicine establishment—sole arbiters of what is right and proper and true in medicine—has gone into hysterics; overdrive hysterics, actually. Nobody, but nobody, must have opinions or a point of view which is different from the allowed narrative.
“It is infuriating to see misinformation mongers being taken seriously,” says Timothy Caulfield, LLM, professor of health law and science policy at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “This kind of book can do great harm. It legitimizes bad science and erodes trust in scientific institutions.”
Actually, I think it is the scientific institutions themselves who have eroded (read decimated) public trust in science, because of the stream of carefully curetted lies, misinformation and fake science that has been pouring out in an official torrent lately. But I’ll let that pass, for the moment.
What, I think, is incensing the establishment bullies is that Kory’s book is being supported by such a large publishing house. They won’t be able to shout down or “cancel” Simon and Schuster. As a result, people will be able to read facts for themselves and make up their own minds where the truth lies. Horror of horrors! Heaven forbid that individuals should be able—even ALLOWED—to make up their own minds!
Skyhorse, the actual publishers, of course are very smart. Their job is not to support or decry any point of view but they rightly suppose that this book will sell millions, to people who are sick of being lied to, cheated, denied information and treated like fools.
But out come the pro-Big Pharma shills. It’s a new kind of class warfare that we have seen all too much of in the last couple of years…
David Boulware, MD, MPH, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, who has been involved in multiple studies of Ivermectin (actually I could only find 3 studies on PubMed), emphasized that none of the trials investigating the drug for the treatment of COVID-19 showed any benefit as they were designed and as they were dosed. (my emphasis)
“Will serious doctors buy his book, no,” Boulware said in an interview. “No one that’s in the mainstream medical community will care what he has to say,” which is a straightforward confession of narrow-mindedness, bigotry and ignorance! They don’t want any discussion or debate about THEIR point of view.
The keywords are carefully manicured here: the design of a trial and such simple matters as the dose used are critical and subject to manipulation by any dishonest researcher who is being paid to denigrate the product. They do it with vitamins all the time: give a few hundreds milligrams, when clinical experience by REAL doctors has shown that the effective dose should be far higher. Then they can pronounce the supplement worthless.
Simon & Schuster is acting as the distributor for Skyhorse, the publishers, and handles functions such as warehousing, shipping, and billing for their books. When busybodying MedPage Today inquired about Simon & Schuster’s support of The War on Ivermectin, a spokesperson from the publishing house said that distribution clients are completely independent third parties, noting that their editorial, marketing, and publicity decisions are made independently of Simon & Schuster, and that it does not pick and choose which titles to distribute.
That’s fair enough, in my view.
Skyhorse has also published books written by other physicians and public figures who have previously been outspoken about orthodox incompetence in respect of COVID-19, including Robert Malone, MD, Peter McCullough, MD, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The book also purports to cover, sneers MedPage Today, “the catastrophic impacts of mass media censorship and relentless mass media propaganda that he witnessed against Ivermectin and his organization’s ability to help save lives.”
The rest of the world has been finding repeatedly that Ivermectin has a profound and positive effect of blocking virus replication in vitro. The next step is to translate that into proper human trials but… nobody will do that. Are you kidding? Run a trial that will show that an already-approved and exceptionally cheap medication will do the job just as well, or better, than treatments costing hundreds—thousands—of times more?
Ain’t gonna happen, I’m afraid.
But you can search the Web for yourself:
You’ll find things like this: ‘Ivermectin can kill COVID-19 within 48 hours’. The Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, in Australia, said a study showed that the drug, Ivermectin, stopped the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture within 48 hours. “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,” said study leader Dr Wagstaff said
A COVID-19 prophylaxis? Lower incidence associated with prophylactic administration of Ivermectin
[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920304684]
This study highlights the following…
-
- Mass administration of Ivermectin is associated with lower COVID-19 incidence.
- Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro.
- Ivermectin may have a prophylactic effect against COVID-19.
And The FDA-approved drug Ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
This study shares the following highlights…
-
- Ivermectin is an inhibitor of the COVID-19 causative virus (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro.
- A single treatment able to effect a 5000-fold reduction in virus at 48 hours in cell culture.
- Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections, and therefore has a potential for repurposing.
- Ivermectin is widely available, due to its inclusion on the WHO model list of essential medicines.
So who is kidding who? All this sound science from reputable institutions, and yet the yappy critics of Ivermectin try to trash it with a few crappy studies and trying to completely deny or ignore studies elsewhere.
But let me finish by noting this: Anyone who followed the early story would realize that Africa was very strange in that COVID-19 did not seem common there. Some scientists speculated what was different about the African population: not genes, because Africans who moved elsewhere were subject to the same frequency of COVID as in other nations. The probable real reason, it emerged, was the widespread use of prophylactic Ivermectin—not for COVID, but for parasite control!
Meantime, I thought I would share a few sensible comments from the article published in MedPage Today (the medical rag I am referring to).
Comment #1.
It’s funny. Ineffective and dangerous drugs that are promoted using manipulated trial results by giant pharmaceutical companies seeking profits gets little attention, but the establishment gets outraged when Ivermectin gets attention.
Comment #2
I agree Ivermectin and HQ have little benefit. But neither does Remdesivir! The largest study done by the WHO showed no benefit yet we continued to prescribe it. Why no outrage about that? Esp. when Ivermectin and HQ cost pennies!
Comment #3 (funny):
I would hope that an article about a book to be published would mean that the writer of the article had actually read the book, but it sounds as though this is not the case, as evidenced by the following quote from the article: “The book also purports to cover “the catastrophic impact of mass media censorship and relentless mass media propaganda that he witnessed against Ivermectin and his organization’s ability to help save lives.”
How about if we read the book first, look at the evidence before condemning it?
Comment #4 (The BEST):
So much criticism of a book no one has read yet! Why not let the author argue those claims on the dust cover: There was/is a war on Ivermectin, that it has already saved millions of lives, and could have ended the Pandemic? Obviously the publishers hyped up his thesis, but his credentials are sound, so his side of the story is entitled to an audience. Only after there are some scientifically grounded strong rebuttal arguments, will we be free to be so dismissive.

PS You can get Ivermectin from most compounding pharmacies—but you you’ll an Rx.
