One of the more annoying aspects of COVID 19 pandemic is the lack of information on treatments. Significantly, there are increasing numbers of treatments and now one which is specifically approved for treatment of COVID 19 symptoms. It is called Fabiflu.
Before I get into some details about Fabiflu, I think it appropriate to readdressed Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). HCQ was first reported when President Trump used it as a prophylactic. He was immediately ridiculed and whatever science associated with its potential was suppressed. None the less, it is still available and in use with COVID 19 around the world. You can buy a Zivardo pack without prescription from India.
Ivermectin is another treatment for COVID 19. A summary posted in an NIH publication addresses the results of a wide variety of studies. The reported conclusion is that Ivermectin “demonstrates a strong signal of therapeutic efficacy” against COVID-19. Using the Ivermectin treatment, which also involves zinc and doxycycline, there have been substantial reductions in COVID 19 related deaths – as much as 75% in one study. You can buy the complete Ivermectin pack without prescription from India.
In June 2020, Favipiravir known as Fabiflu was approved for COVID-19 treatment by the Drug Controller General of India (DGCI). Glenmark manufactures it for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID 19 symptoms. You can buy Fabiflu without a prescription from India although it is more difficult to do so because of national demand in India.
What is the mechanism of action by Fabiflu? Apparently, Fabiflu targets the COVID 19 enzyme that helps with the multiplication of the viral RNA in the body. Fabiflu causes the RNA of the virus to mutate more slowly and this leads to a reduction in the viable viral load by as much as 98%. This gives time for a patient’s immune system to catch up. It also allows for improvement in the condition of the lungs (which is key to survival). Glenmark reports that Fabiflu is nearly 90% effective in reducing the symptoms of COVID 19.
So, back to the original issue – why are discussions about these treatments missing in America’s national news and in reports from the federal government? Why are “vaccines” touted as the only solution even though there is increasing evidence of declining “vaccine” effectiveness against the variants of COVID 19. (For example, the latest report is that the Pfizer one shot “vaccine” is only 36% effective against the Delta variant of COVID 19 whereas it is 88% effective if you have the two shot protocol. And there are concerns and warnings about the Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson “vaccines” and the rise in post vaccination Guillain-Barre syndrome.)
By way of disclaimer, I am not opposed to COVID 19 “vaccines”. Apparently, they do help to minimize the most serious side effects of breakthrough COVID 19 disease. Nevertheless, it is important to provide information on the full range of options for dealing with COVID 19 – and this should include both prophylactic treatment as well as the pre-treatment options of “vaccines”.)

Well it is safe to say that any percentage of unvaccinated individuals in Virginia are the responsibility of our Democrat Governor.
Lagging vaccination numbers and increased infection rate is because of poor planning within our Executive, The Democrat Governor.
To hold back vaccinations to make sure that they are administered equitable amounts to denying some that wanted it but then may have changed their minds. To have policy that threw vaccines in the trash rather than administering them on a first come first serve after the elderly was negligent.
Notice that the Va. Democrat Governor’s list of “essential workers” when he mandated businesses and employers closed was completely different from the list of “essential workers” who were eligible for the vaccine first.
There are also useless Democrats posting on this site who are now blaming “conservatives” for not getting the vaccine yet I personally know many Democrats who do not trust the vaccine or the way Virginia is handling the virus amping other things.
“Well it is safe to say that any percentage of unvaccinated individuals in Virginia are the responsibility of our Democrat Governor.” Nope……….stupid trumpers and carlson fans
The largest group of unvaccinated are people of color, American citizen blacks and border jumpers.
by pecentage, maybe. But not even close to contributing to the corpse count. Nice try, though. Well, not really.
Black & Hispanic COVID deaths – 39%
Doc, you now contend that all hispanics are “border jumpers”. How very racist of you….
Mexico City has issued a home treatment kit to its 22 million citizens. Ivermectin was include. Hospitalization dropped by 70%.
Well, not entirely true either, Doc. From the article itself:
Fundamental in the Mexican mission: lower access barriers to identifying COVID-19 at early stages, reduce opportunity for transmission via home isolation and care for patients early, right at onset, even if asymptomatic or mild symptoms. The overall study commenced July 8, 2020 with 3,000 tests administered daily and by the middle of November, the government expanded capacity to 24,000 daily tests. Again, public health workers followed up on those deemed positive via Locatel, (Mexico City Government call center) or WhatsApp text service. During that call, patients are informed if they are positive, asked if they can be in isolation, and the symptoms, if escalated, prompt a more intensive monitoring protocol (e.g. every couple days in more severe cases). Serious cases prompt 911 and hospitalization. Since December 28, the ivermectin-based medical kits were distributed to mild to moderate symptomatic patients.”
So they enacted an intervention program which included ivermectin for mild to moderate cases – not anywhere near 22 million. Then they did a “study” of the impact of the program…
“Using a quasi-experimental research design involving a Coarsened Exact Matching method leveraging hospital and phone call monitoring data, the study team estimated logistic-regression models with a range of observational data and found a significant reduction in hospitalizations among the cohort receiving ivermectin-based medical kit. In fact, the range of positive effect totaled 52% to 76% depending on model specification.”
This point is import:
“Fundamental in the Mexican mission: lower access barriers to identifying COVID-19 at early stages, reduce opportunity for transmission via home isolation and care for patients early, right at onset, even if asymptomatic or mild symptoms.”
These factors are what makes the difference – not some new wonder drug.
In the end, the vaccine is the most effective tool we have and is the only thing that has been effective at ending the pandemic. A shame Conservatives seek to undermine it at every turn.
So mostly true.
No not mostly true at all.
bullshit
yes you are ——
bite me
I leave that for the dung Beatles.
On 12 July, the FDA issued a warning about the J&J vaccine and Gullane-Barre. If you are going to lie, at least make it a difficult lie to refute.
This response is for all the trolls.
Doc, what do you think I quoted? Again, that is the J&J vaccine – not the Pfizer vaccine… and it is old news at that…
July 12 isn’t old news. Phizer has also been linked to myocarditis in teenagers, predominantly boys.
The WSJ just published a positive article about ivermectin.
“And there are concerns and warnings about the Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson “vaccines” and the rise in post vaccination Guillain-Barre syndrome.)”
Not true.
From FDA:
“Guillain Barré syndrome (a neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis) has occurred in some people who have received the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. In most of these people, symptoms began within 42 days following receipt of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. The chance of having this occur is very low.”
An FDA spokesperson added, “No similar signal has been identified with the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines”
If you are going to dispense medical advice via this blog, Doc, please at least TRY to get your facts straight.
See NIH paper on Pfizer vaccine and cases of Guillain-Barre. As usual, you deliberately try to distort the purpose of the argument.
Doc, you are the one distorting in your entire article. I simply am quoting the FDA – again and for the record they say: “No similar signal has been identified with the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines” … and they are REAL doctors, you know… so I’ll take their advice over yours any day of the week.
I certainly hope you take anybody’s advice as a basis for further exploration. Unfortunately, you are quite rigid and you would prefer to be wrong than have you ideology found to be wanting
My post has nothing to go with ideology. I am simply quoting the FDA to correct your attempts to undermine the best options we have to stop this pandemic.
What is the purpose of Dr. Warren’s article?
I find the article to have information that tells me in our efforts to end the pandemic other Countries just don’t hang their lively hood on the lying Democrat Party and the lying American media.
Other countries are very wise to know that narrow minded opinions
( as with Democrats) will only garner a narrow body of support.
I bet that with the American Democrats desire to go Global that other Countries will step forward and not follow them like sheep, will this then in turn have Democrats call them Racist.
Folks all around the world need to look at the failed leadership of the American Democrats and the way that they place blame upon others to cover their own ineptitude.
I bet folks all around the world are free thinkers and that they are better off without American Democrats.
All of your posts favor socialism. You are incapable of sticking with the argument 0of any article and have to resort to talking points from the left. The illegals coming across the border come from all parts of the world and aren’t merely hispanic. your argument, therefore, is racist.
quite the idiot
