There is so much wrong with that clinical study. Let me just highlight a couple:

1. It's looking at Carrageenan & Ivermectin. Since it's a combo of products, how do you deduce whether Ivermectin or Carrageenan or both are responsible for results.

2. Any study that requires patients to self administer 5 times a day in their own time, is asking for trouble. They are not in the same location/environment and therefore exposed to a whole spectrum of different factors that could protect them from the virus or expose them to it.

3. The study was observational !!!!! This is taken from the website you provided. *This study was observational, hence carries less weight of evidence as does the randomized controlled study*

The only reason my mind is blown is that you would be so foolish to think and post something like that. It's an antiparasitic !! There is also NO completed, regulated & peer reviewed clinical trial data. There are currently some CT's in progress looking at Ivermectin as a treatment for the symptoms, but the data is not yet available. Check the Merck website - they make the stuff !

Bobsyeruncle says...

Agree about the bombardment of drug ads, it's reached pandemic proportions, lol.

On the other stuff, I beg to differ about your vitamin sources. It's unregulated and therefore has many loopholes as to what can be claimed. "Made in the USA" is not the same as "Sourced in the USA", similar to the auto industry. I guarantee you 100% the bulk of what's in your vitamins is sourced overseas, be it the actual "active" or the excipients. If you're willing to disclose the brand I can check for you :)

And, as you're a proponent of not taking anything that has unknown long-term effects I'm sure you've reviewed all the metabolic, clinical & tox data for all the ingredients in the supplements at the dose you take?

Bobsyeruncle says...

*(though nice try on your efforts to add them to them unvaccinated bucket - that would be called manipulating the data )*

WRONG !! Full vaccination is NOT achieved until appx 14 days after the second dose has been administered, so therefore you are still considered unvaccinated. You wouldn't call Chemotherapy as being complete after the first treatment would you?? It's you who would be considered as manipulating data. You need to understand how drug treatment works !!

Have to admit, that one has gone over my head

Jeez, are you serious ? It's not big pharma's responsibility to tell us how to eat and what to eat. It's yours, or your parents, or your GP. What has happened to personal responsibility ?

I bet you take nutritional supplements (Vitamins etc) on a daily basis to improve your health and immune system ? You do this also on blind faith.

Aren't you concerned that the health supplement industry is an unregulated industry that falls under the umbrella of "food" and not "health"? They are not required to produce any type of clinical data or validate it's claims of health benefits, purity or content ? Not to mention the fact, that most of those ingredients are synthetically produced and sourced from your beloved China.

Bobsyeruncle says...

If that were the case, why would a family member (sister) purchase & provide tickets for their return to China, twice? However, I do think there is more to this story than is apparent.

Bobsyeruncle says...

Ivermectin, even if it does turn out to be useful, is only good for treating symptoms after contracting the virus. We want to stop the virus before it has a chance to cause symptoms. Sheesh!

What a Cluster F. Government was so unprepared. Even if most of the population wanted to get vaccinated, they couldn't. I think the Bahamas is 3rd or 4th from the bottom of vaccinated countries in the Caribbean, with bottom being Haiti. Reap what you sow, Minnis.

Same applies to those who are unvaccinated and have had COVID. They gonna catch it again, and again, and again.......... At least those who have been vaccinated and get boosters (if they are actually needed), stand a much better chance of staying out of hospital and not ending up on a ventilator. We all get old at some point, and with old age comes a much weaker immune system. Pick your poison.
