If the fact that fraudulent grifters developed the treatment protocol you're advocating for, I'm not sure where to go from there. (Not just Patterson, but Yogendra too -- it's not just "his name associated" with flccc -- he and yogendera are two of the primary authors of the protocol!)

And if I understand your timeline right --- you think a single dose of the vaccine gave you "long covid" symptoms? So you're going to rely on the long-covid treatment path, even though you've never had the virus? Yikes man..

Yikes man indeed. Hard to describe how desperate I was back then. If you read the protocol, you'd see where they describe how a subset of vaccine injury and long covid essential present and are treated identically.

My story: got all the long covid symptoms, started eight hours after the AZ vaccine. Tested negative twice on pcr. 3.5 months with little improvement. Optometrist noted blood heme in eye, had a clot removed from forehead vein recently. Both of those noted within a week or three of vaccine date. At the 3.5 month date I started that protocol, first with ivermectin. Within five hours I felt better than I had in the past three months and then in five days brain fog, sob, headaches, extreme fatigue, heart issues, high blood pressure all resolved. I quit the daily dose of ivm then and started prednisone for remaining lung inflammation. (Describe this like extreme asthma, any deep inhalation would trigger coughing). That worked. I still have a bit of a dry like congestion that lingers (8 months since vax).

Maybe I caught covid same time frame as vax but the two negative tests seem to not support that. The symptoms certainly presented right after the shot. They very clearly resolved a few hours after the ivermectin. It was like a light switch. My wife noticed improvement in my color even.

What do you think of this pre print from December? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/357313430_Ivermecti...

Haven't seen it - but via the acknowledgements, its lead scientists are being paid by a producer of Ivermectin and the program was instituted by the quack mayor who previously said rectal ozone administration could treat covid? My hopes aren't high.

Also, why did it take over a year to publish when the study ran from July-Dec 2020?

Started reading it now, and what? Why can't these people do real science?

> "Although study design, IRB approval, and data analysis occurred after completion of the voluntary prophylaxis program, all data were collected prospectively in real-time with mandated reporting to the registry of all events as they occurred during the citywide governmental COVID-19 prevention with ivermectin program"

And what now -- the 2nd author is facing prison for massive ethics violations running a different covid study?

The advocates for IVM are consistently some of the worst acting scientists on the planet. It's a real disservice to their stated goal that they're all so incompetent.

Yeah that's brutal. Hard for me to reconcile it all given my personal experience with it.
