"Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid miracle drug"

BBC Reality* Check

(*sorry for mentioning reality in all this conspiracy cosplay, but reality tends to have a bit of influence on real life)
So some of their claims - non-random trials, evidence of using the same patient data for multiple people - are issues to question the study. But some are bullsh!t - the local health authorities weren't aware of the study?!?! How often is East BumF$ck Tennessee's health department aware of a study being done under a federal or state grant?

While I don't doubt the sincerity of the article, it also should be subject to a hairy eyeball ..

Nine months after it was rolled out, the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine has finally reached the Antarctic.

It was flown in this week to immunise the 23 staff members who've been keeping the British Rothera research station running through the polar winter.

This is the most southerly despatch yet for the jabs developed at Oxford University.

Apart from some cases at a Chilean base, Antarctica has been Covid-free.

The international science agencies want to keep it that way.

“False science” headlines dupe the blue a-non conspiracy theorists everytime. The real hype was from the left wing mandate nazis calling it horse paste. When IN FACT it is one of the most commonly prescribed human medications distributed around the world.

Now go and search actual trail data instead of chasing headlines of two paid shills from the BBC government rag.

Nobody here is hyping it as a miracle cure. In FACT most would only say it should be considered. The only HYPE comes from left wing blue a-non conspiracy theorists who believe it’s just horse paste pointing fingers and mocking those who are looking at it as a possible alternative treatment.

Friends throw stones at each other and none of us are educated in medicin/virology.

We have as in many other things a standpoint.

This we must respect.

Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting Moderna COVID-19 vaccine

by Reuters
Thursday, 7 October 2021 09:25 GMT

https://news.trust.org/item/20211007092437-11532

HELSINKI, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Finland on Thursday paused the use of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine for younger males due to reports of a rare cardiovascular side effect, joining Sweden and Denmark in limiting its use.

Mika Salminen, director of the Finnish health institute, said Finland would instead give Pfizer's vaccine to men born in 1991 and later. Finland offers shots to people aged 12 and over.

"A Nordic study involving Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark found that men under the age of 30 who received Moderna Spikevax had a slightly higher risk than others of developing myocarditis," he said.

Read and understand the whole article.

"Regulators in the United States, EU and the World Health Organization have however stressed that the benefits of shots based on the mRNA technology used by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech in preventing COVID-19 continue to outweigh the risks."

"These are typically mild cases and individuals tend to recover within a short time following standard treatment and rest. The risk of myocarditis is substantially increased for those who contract COVID-19, and vaccination is the best way to protect against this."

I heard that Nukacola is very effective in the faithful against Covid-19.

Big Pharma Quietly Pushes Back on Global Tax Deal, Citing Covid-19 Role
Drug companies mobilize in D.C., arguing competitiveness and agility are at stake

https://www.wsj.com/articles/big-pha...le-11627378146

Quote:
According to Prof. Damodaran’s analysis, Pfizer’s effective tax rate over the past decade was 5.8%, the lowest of the biggest drug companies. One factor was a big tax-related gain Pfizer took in 2017 tied to the U.S. tax overhaul that year, resulting in a negative reported tax rate by global accounting standards. Pfizer reports a so-called adjusted effective tax rate that excludes one-time charges and which the company describes as reflective of ongoing operations. That adjusted rate is about 15% this year.

Pharma executives and lawyers say they want certainty and simplicity and warn higher taxes could crimp the sort of risky research and development that led to the quick deployment of Covid-19 vaccines and pandemic therapies. “Pharma is going to get hit hard,” said a senior tax official at J&J who has been closely involved in policy talks. J&J makes another Covid-19 vaccine authorized for use in the U.S. Companies will have less to invest in research and development, the official said.

The industry’s outsize investments in research and development are “foundational to human health and well-being, as demonstrated throughout the Covid-19 pandemic,” a J&J spokesman said. If tax changes cut research spending, he said, it will bring “a negative impact to new medicines, vaccines and treatments.”
Not to worry Big Pharma, Big Gubnent will just mandate the use of your vaccines. That should help you cover your tax loss.

Follow the money. https://www.opensecrets.org/industri...m=Y&cycle=2020
