Subject: RE: Explain India


Galahad, Alberta
That’s the problem, isn’t it? What was behind the apparent success in that one province in India? Scientists and medical people like black and white. They like statistics and percentages. They don't do well with faith and might-haves. Uttar Pradesh used a shotgun approach with their covid treatment package. It contained Tylenol, Ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc, vitamins, sanitation supplies, a thermometer and a pulse oximeter. An army of health dept. people went door to door in Uttar Pradesh, checking people with rapid antigen tests. Anyone testing positive was given the kit, some education about covid and how to use the kit, and told to isolate. Any close contacts were told to quarantine. Low and behold, covid numbers began to drop. Now, you tell me, what was it about this monumental effort that lead to the drop in numbers? You can’t definitively say it was any one aspect, because there was at least 10.
Scientists use a test called a double-blind placebo controlled study to get hard data on drugs. It’s the gold standard. It’s simple to do. Get a group of people with covid. Give half ivermectin and nothing else, give the other half a placebo and nothing more. Monitor the results, and publish your data. There have been many studies done on ivermectin in the last year. Some showed favourable results, others showed no advantage to using ivermectin. More studies are underway. Maybe there needs to be a proper double blind study done using the contents of the kit as a whole vs. nothing.
