Never Say Neigh: FDA Lists 'Horse Drug' As Approved COVID Treatment

2021-09-26

[ZERO] While the media has spent more than a year ridiculing the widely-prescribed drug Ivermectin to treat Covid-19 - branding it a 'horse dewormer for idiots,' they've kept oddly silent about another widely prescribed drug that's also used in horses, which is being pushed by official bodies worldwide to treat the disease.

The NIH, CDC, WHO and FDA have all recommended dexamethasone - a corticosteroid which has shown efficacy in the treatment of severe covid. It's also a commonly used drug to treat allergies in horses.

The difference? One can be used to treat billions of mild-moderate cases - or as a prophylactic, while the other has a much more narrow use - those suffering from severe Covid.

#9 This leak took place during the Obama administration. So we are now told that Trump's man, Pompeo, was so upset by it, that instead of investigating the source of the leak within the CIA, he was determined to punish the publisher of the leak.
It seems like the anti-US leakers in the CIA are still there and still leaking.
It seems to me that the leakers themselves would be the ones who wanted to eliminate Assange to avoid Pompeo making a deal with him that might expose them.
This at least would be consistent with the extreme anti-Trump behavior of a segment of the CIA, which undoubtedly included opposition to Pompeo.
And it is completely consistent with this present leak.

#7 #6 Thank you for that information. The battle goes on however "We are in the process of exhuming bodies in my county to prove it was a HOAX.....And we are getting push back....why? because they know WE ARE RIGHT!!". This will not end well. In my opinion we are looking at years. Perhaps permanently. As a poster here once said full page adds for legal class actions. Protected? Ha!, contracts, agreements are made to be broken.

#6 Ummm no, I have several vials in my office and have for years for treating humans. Decadron/dexamethasone is just another moderate to high potency long acting steroid similar to methylprednisolone that is already widely used to treat COVID-19 and other inflammatory conditions. Truly nothing to see here.

#3 The article is about dexamethasone, not ivermectin.

#2 I wonder if Facebook will now stop flagging every post that says ivermectin is a good thing.
