Congressman Louie Gohmert(R-TX) explained why the deliberate
campaign to smear ivermectin as an effective treatment of COVID-19 is a “crime
against humanity.” Below is most of his op-ed at American Greatness:
Just as we saw with
hydroxychloroquine last summer, government alphabet agencies, the medical
industrial complex, and their willing accomplices in the media have recently
made it clear that there is yet another safe, effective treatment for COVID-19
they wish to torpedo. It’s the latest naughty word which will get you censored
on social media and mocked and
belittled by late-night “comedians”: ivermectin.
While ivermectin has been used by
certain brave doctors around the world to treat COVID-19 for over a year now,
it only recently became the target of a multi-pronged attack, with the U.S.
government, the media, and Big Pharma all playing important roles in the deadly
dystopian disinformation campaign against the drug. As more Americans became
aware of ivermectin’s efficacy against COVID-19, like clockwork the government
and its propaganda arm in the press jumped in to discredit it, referring to the
drug snidely as a “horse dewormer.”
We watched the FDA embarrass itself
with its ridiculing
tweet telling people “You are not a horse. You are not a cow.
Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” while linking to an agency article on why people
should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent the China Virus. We saw Rolling
Stone magazine forced
to admit that its recent story about Oklahoma hospitals being
overwhelmed by patients who overdosed on ivermectin was completely false.
Pharmaceutical company Merck, which
produces ivermectin, discredited its use for COVID by irresponsibly
stating, “We do not believe that the data available support the safety and
efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the
regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.” It is worth noting that
Merck and Pfizer are developing their own oral antivirals that would directly
compete with the cheap and effective ivermectin. These antivirals,
unlike ivermectin, would be patented, creating the potential for pharmaceutical
companies to rake in billions of dollars from their use.
What the globalist elites and the
medical establishment won’t tell you is that those who discovered ivermectin
and its use to treat parasitic diseases won a
Nobel Prize in 2015—it was the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine’s
only award for treatments of infectious diseases in six decades.
Almost
4 billion doses of ivermectin have been prescribed for humans, not
horses, over the past 40 years. In fact, the CDC
recommends all refugees coming to the U.S. from the Middle East, Asia,
North Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean receive this so-called dangerous
horse medicine as a preemptive therapy. Ivermectin is considered by the World
Health Organization (WHO) to be an “essential medicine.” The Department of
Homeland Security’s “quick reference” tool on COVID-19 mentioned how
this life-saving drug reduced viral shedding duration in a clinical trial.
. . .
Critics argue that ivermectin
hasn’t been approved for use in the fight against COVID-19 and therefore should
not be prescribed to patients. Doctors, however, often prescribe drugs to help
patients that aren’t necessarily approved for their particular ailments—it’s
called “off-label” prescription and according to the American
Medical Association Journal of Ethics, 10-20 percent of all prescriptions
are prescribed in this fashion.
Make no mistake, the evil, deadly,
coordinated globalist attacks we are currently witnessing on ivermectin will go
down in history as a vicious crime against humanity; a grievous public health
policy error that can only be explained by following the money. Many top
doctors agree that hundreds of thousands of American lives could have been
saved had early treatment protocols such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine
not been so maliciously vilified by authority figures, some pharmaceutical
companies, and healthcare providers who just so happen to have
financial incentives to suppress the truth about these cheap, effective
drugs.
