Apparently, Chris Cuomo has changed his mind about ivermectin for COVID.
He is even taken a daily dose of ivermectin now!
Why Did Chris Cuomo Change His Mind About Ivermectim?
If you remember, before getting fired by CNN, Chris Cuomo would give regular updates when he was sick with COVID (well before we had any COVID vaccines). At the time, CNN had called ivermectin a horse dewormer after Joe Rogan said he took it.
And now he is taking it like a daily vitamin!
"I am taking … a regular dose of ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogeyman during COVID. That was wrong. We were given bad information about ivermectin. The real question is, why? Everyone’s going to say ‘Joe Rogan was right.' No, Joe Rogan was saying – yeah, he was right – that’s not what matters. What matters is, the entire medical community knew that Ivermectin couldn’t hurt you. They knew it … I know they knew it. How do I know? Because now I’m doing nothing but talking to these clinicians, who at the time were overwhelmed by COVID, and they weren’t saying anything! It’s cheap, it’s not owned by anybody, and it’s used as an anti-microbial, antiviral and has been for all these different ways, and has been for a long time. My doctor was using it during COVID on her family and on her patients, and it was working for them. So. They were wrong to play scared on that. Didn’t know that at the time. Know it now, admit it now, reporting on it now."
So it is easy to see what changed Chris Cuomo's mind, isn't it?
Suffering with long-COVID, he found a "doctor" who pushes ivermectin, against all evidence to the contrary.
And now, after falling so far after getting fired by CNN, he seems to be jumping at any chance for extra attention from the media.
What should he be doing?
As someone who is suffering from long-COVID, he should be pushing folks to get vaccinated, as that is our best protection from getting long-COVID!
The Ivermectin for COVID Conspiracy
After all, it is a little late to be getting on the ivermectin for COVID bandwagon.
The ivermectin for COVID ploy is played.
So played!
Multiple large trials have shown that it is not effective to treat either COVID or long-COVID.
- Clinical Trials Show Ivermectin Does Not Benefit COVID-19 Patients, Contrary to Social Media Claims
- Evidence Still Lacking to Support Ivermectin as Treatment for COVID-19
- Social Media Posts Repeat Inaccurate Reporting on Ivermectin and Omicron
- Ivermectin was approved by the FDA to treat some diseases, not COVID-19
- Fact-checking claim about the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19
- The FDA didn’t reverse course. Ivermectin is still not approved as a COVID-19 treatment.
- No data available to suggest a link between India’s reduction of COVID-19 cases and the use of ivermectin
- Scientific evidence does not support ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19
- Higher doses of ivermectin still useless against COVID-19
Although it is not the most dangerous drug in the world, it can have serious side effects.
"Ivermectin pre-treatment demonstrates detrimental effects in cardiac ischemia through exacerbation of cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial dysfunction, and increased cardiac hypertrophy."
The Detrimental Effect of Pre-Treatment with Ivermectin on Myocardial Ischemia
So looking at risks versus rewards (nothing), it would be silly to take ivermectin, unless you had an approved reason, like roundworm parasites, headlice, or rosacea.
"Even in a pandemic crisis, however, it is unethical and immoral to advocate for the broad use of a medication that has not been proven effective in clinical trials."
Inappropriate use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic: primum non nocere!
And while it was unethical and immoral to push ivermectin when we weren't sure it would work, it should be illegal to do so now that we know it doesn't work and there are alternative treatments that do!
