Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association recommends ivermectin administration to prevent aggravation New corona February 9, 2021 19:10
Haruo Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association, recommended the emergency use of drugs at a press conference on the 9th, mainly to prevent the aggravation of home caregivers in order to respond to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. He emphasized that antiparasitic drugs such as "ivermectin" should be given to corona-infected people, saying that they have been shown to be effective in preventing aggravation overseas.
He called for the government to approve the use of ivermectin and the steroidal anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone. Mr. Ozaki said, "(Both) have few side effects. I would like the government to consider treatment at the level of the family doctor."
Both ivermectin and dexamethasone are prescribed domestically. However, it has not been approved as a treatment for corona. As of the 8th, there are about 1,600 home recuperators in Tokyo, and about 1,600 infected people who are "under adjustment" because the hospitalization destination has not been decided. How to deal with sudden changes in the physical condition of home care patients who are often mild or asymptomatic is also an issue.
Mr. Ozaki emphasized that the number of newly infected people in Tokyo per day is "reducing the number to about 100 is the way to improve the situation from April to June." On the 9th, 412 newly infected people were confirmed in Tokyo.
How does the flu shot fit in?
Vaccines and drugs as prophylactics are different and you know what I meant.
Why would a supposedly authoritative paper include in the list of peer-reviewed studies a study that is not peer-reviewed?
Which one?
Why would such a paper, supporting the use of Ivermectin, include a study with this statement: "Conclusions: Inclusion of ivermectin in treatment regimen of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients could not be said with certainty based on our study results as it had shown only marginal benefit in successful discharge from the hospital with no other observed benefits."
This is not top-notch science.
Yes it is... Huh? If they didn't include as many studies as possible, or even worse, biased the studies toward ones that showed the results they want then it would be garbage.
If that was the case no government funded study would ever produce results the government didn't want to hear.
Yes - exactly. It's not always, but very frequently studies do give the result the funder wants.
Meta analyses are useful in their place and that place needs to trustworthy.
You're not wrong, but not right. If Liam Mannix had any real qualms, he should be able to point out how (for example) how Mahmud has a conflict of interest. If Liam had reservations about accuracy, they could limit it to the peer-reviewed studies: https://ivmmeta.com/#fig_fpp
"While many treatments have some level of efficacy, they do not replace vaccines and other measures to avoid infection."
Taking a medication as a prophylactic "forever" isn't viable, or good. It would be nice if there was a safe-working vaccine - but there isn't. You realize the studies that say "vaccine X is 90% effective" are based on only a few hundred infections, and they all have conflicts of interest right? Pfizer says it works because Pfizer wants to sell vaccines.
Is there a reason why governments would push ineffective vaccines (with the requirement of suppressing valid treatments)? Yes of course - profit. Blackrock owns a large chunk of Pfizer. Thomas is with blackrock. Thomas' associates influence the whitehouse:
♦ Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden {link} providing guidance on what policies should be implemented within the administration. Mike Donilon guides the focus of spending, budgets, regulation and white house policy from his position of Senior Advisor to the President.
♦Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, is the White House Personnel Director {link}. In that position Donilon’s wife controls every hire in the Office of the Presidency.
♦Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council {link}

Problem 1: he says Cochran study is independent - it is receiving government funding - therefore it's not independent.
Problem 2: he says "oh those studies are low quality" the only thing low quality is that each study is small - but putting them together is a valid way to look at the data, a meta analysis.
Problem 3: he appeala to authority "Cochran is renowned for their work", "that's just some random website" well the random website doesn't need history, it shows all is sources done by real scientists/doctors
Hold up.
Where is the evidence that the vaccine acts as a symptom suppressant?
All I've ever seen is leftists and bots claim this, but no evidence.
There's the thinking that a viral infection into a body loaded with the appropriate antibodies will be eradicated quickly. There's also the thinking that the immune system will, as normal, react more, produce histamines, making you feel more tired/fever.
Not a word of that is true, and it never was.
IIRC the data is:
20000 vaccine test subjects
20000 placebo controls
8 vaccine got COVID-19
160 placebo got COVID-19
(160-8)/160 = vaccine is ~95% effective
Problem is both 8 and 160 are too small... Was the vaccine really the difference? No.
There was never data to suggest the vaccines worked.
Disagree. They're correct in blaming federal gov for not implementing one of the most obvious first steps in dealing with a new unknown pathogen.
"A new apparently dangerous virus is spreading in China? Better stop travel from there - NOT.
The new virus is spreading in the US? Close the border."
