Ivermectin: A Potent Foe Against SARS-CoV-2

Monash University

Numerous web articles discussed Ivermectin as a potential cure for the COVID-19 virus; however, these claims remained unheard and unnoticed. One such article appeared on EurekaAlert, a news release from Monash University, on April 3, 2020, while another was published in Intelligent Living by Dan Edel on April 6, 2020. These articles emerged shortly after global lockdowns were implemented.

Now we know the true power of this drug.  Mind you, already used around the world.

Australian scientists from Monash University have discovered that FDA-approved Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, effectively kills the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cell cultures within 48 hours. Ivermectin has previously shown effective results against HIV, Dengue, Influenza, and the Zika virus.

Dr. Wagstaff has been working with and researching Ivermectin for more than 10 years. She and Professor David Jans from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute had a breakthrough discovery in 2012 when they identified Ivermectin’s anti-viral properties.

Dr. Kylie Wagstaff led the team study, which found a significant reduction in viral RNA after a single dose. The next step is to determine the effective dosage for humans. The team tested the antiviral activity by infecting Vero/hSLAM cells with SARS-CoV-2 isolate and saw a 93% reduction of viral RNA in just 24 hours.

By 48 hours, a 99.8% reduction in cell-associated viral RNA occurred, leading the scientists to conclude that Ivermectin treatment resulted in the effective loss of essentially all viral material.

The research, published in Antiviral Research states: “Taken together these results demonstrate that ivermectin has antiviral action against the SARS-CoV-2 clinical isolate in vitro, with a single dose able to control viral replication within 24-48 h in our system.”

So, the WHO and FDA all turned a blind eye on this.  Why?  Was it about the control and money?

Do you trust them now?  We sure don’t….
