My tweets reflect the exact opinions and views of my employer and are medical advice. I enjoy when ppl state the opposite as though it's protective in some way.
I got the nickname "Dr. Oh So Good" when I was an intern but it had nothing to do with my abilities. A colleague with a bit of an accent who pronounced my name 'Oh Suh Good' overhead paged me and the operator went on the PA system, "Dr. Oh So Good please dial the operator"
Happily saying to a chronic illness patient who has not been formally diagnosed with anything but is feeling terrible, "Great news, all your tests came out looking normal," is smug and condescending, and you know exactly what you're doing when you do so.
I spend about 6 to 8 hours a week working with covid longhaulers. Often previously 100% healthy folks who now range from annoying persistent symptoms, to complete, bed ridden debilitation. I'm not a violent person, but everytime I hear about the "99% survival rate" I see red.
I remember coming home from work one day in April 2020 and bursting into tears. I think I pronounced 6 or 7 patients deceased that day, some of whom were in their 40s and 50s.
"One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler ..
In some ways, the U.S. government .. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" -

Couldn't be happier to say that the meticulous manuscript on ivermectin written by Dr. Kory and colleagues has been accepted for publication by The American Journal of Therapeutics.
So pharmacies are all now requiring dx codes for IVM. Wont fill if c19 related. Naturally if you are concerned about use of veterinary products, what you want to do is aggressively cut off human grade use under medical supervision. This sort of strategy has always worked out well
I've spoken to countless people who have refused Pfizer, Moderna, J&J but have said they'd take NVX-CoV2373 as soon as it's available. I don't agree with this decision but I find it interesting, and I don't think "antivaxxer" is a term that can be used to describe such a person.
@EdoajoEric
I remember my last words to my pops were a lie. He asked why I was crying. I told him I was okay and to get some rest. I lost both my parents to Covid as well as my eldest brother.
I think your crying baby will be okay.
Genuine question for
@WHO
: if u recommend against ivermectin for covid outside of trials bc u want to see more evidence, why are u going out of your way to dissuade use instead of promote data collection and study of use?
Patient of mine still nonstop coughing, fatigued, dyspneic on exertion and cloudy-headed a few months after recovery from covid, after normal routine diagnostics, was told by their physician they were anxious and given a Rx for Zoloft.
March 2020: World Health Organization recommends against corticosteroids for management of covid19 pneumonia
March 2021: World Health Organization recommends against the use of ivermectin in covid19
Prediction for March 2022: The world asks what the point of having a WHO is.
PASC aka 'long covid' is not merely a supratentorial problem. We don't disproportionately see nervous nellies who were terrified of covid and of developing longhaul. Plenty of longhaulers I've seen in the past year were from the "this is just a cold" camp before they got infected
If you're a doc in a hospital and a patient asks you for an extra blanket or a water or something, you don't have to "find a nurse or an aid to help with that," you can go grab it. You aren't an extra special being levitating over everyone else.
The outpatient regimen I gave high risk c19 outpatients starting Spring 2021 included fluvoxamine and inhaled budesonide. Pre-TOGETHER, I was using IVM too. Given current evidence, I feel pretty good about what I've done. I'm fairly certain I kept some ppl out of ER/hosp/morgue.
If gunshot victims are in the waiting room while patients experiencing nausea, vomiting, GI upset, and visual disturbances are filling up your beds, maybe find a new triage nurse.
For my pals on the L claiming that the censorship of drs discussing covid19 treatments is overblown, just FYI Dr. Satoshi Omura, nobel prize winning scientist who discovered avermectins, was booted off of Youtube. He was not giving medical advice or suggesting ppl ingest anything
Why are covid19 cases in Goa plummeting but they are skyrocketing in Tamil Nadu? What are these 2 Indian states doing differently? Hmm... any journalists feel like doing a little work and taking a peek at this?
Big retail pharmacies have entire walls and rows full of unproven, useless unregulated dogshit "remedies" with all kinds of side effects they'll happily sell you without you being under any medical supervision. Dont forget it.
I want some of that GAVI dough. I'll badmouth IVM for cash.
Don't take ivermectin. You could be one of the 0.00017% who have an adverse drug reaction. And there are only 50 studies showing various benefits, only 8 of which are double blinded placebo controlled RCTs.
Say what you want about me, Pierre, or the rest of FLCCC. But it is ADORABLE to see twitter celeb doctors so certain that they know more about medical evidence synthesis and translation of data to treatment guideline development than Tess Lawrie.
Everytime I admit someone to the intensive care unit with severe ketoacidosis because they can't afford insulin, a little piece of my soul gets crushed. When doctors callously label the person as "noncompliant," two pieces get crushed.

Traditionally we provide our employers with proof of immunization not vaccination. Here are my antibody titers. Not, here's a card signed by the person who injected me. People with prior infection or prior infection plus 1 shot and very high Abs getting fired is just absurd.
If you got 2 shots in Dec 2020/Jan 2021 and your abs have waned below 30%, a booster is recommended but you are cleared to continue duty. If you were infected and got 1 shot and your abs are 80%, you are terminated, please pack your belongings. Because science.
Merck,the makers of Molnupiravir, which they are hoping will receive an EUA, recently put out a statement against the use of ivermectin for covid19. Now Dr. Omura, with no $ stake, the actual inventor of the drug, is advocating its utilization to treat covid19 based on the data.
My brother took 2 doses of IVM i gave him because he was developing worsening myalgias, subjective fevers, malaise, fatigue, chest congestion. Hours after 2nd dose, felt noticeably improved. The following AM resolved. Tested + today.
HIV, neuro, or vascular experts: Could PASC/longhaul "brain fog" be similar to HIV neuroinflammation ("HAND")? Most frequent abnormal finding I see is extreme elevation of sCD40L. Moderate intensity statin plus P2Y12 ADP antiplatelet tx seems to help (working on RCT protocol).
One of the world's safest (when taken in human form under proper supervision) essential medicines, in a total state of scientific equipoise as a potential covid therapeutic, being at the center of Earth's biggest culture war, was not in my 2021 Bingo cards.
Uttar Pradesh has a population of 210 million that was < 2% fully vaccinated by end of May, likely not much more today, they had 313 new covid cases yesterday, 7 dayy avg 500. They must be magical.
If the word "unproven treatment" appears in your commentary, you have no business discussing medical therapies. The majority of professional medical guidelines and recommendations fall into this category. Especially in Infectious Diseases.
Good point by Dr. Carvallo. Argentina has a sizeable prison population. They have not had issues with covid outbreaks in the prisons. Argentinian inmates receive monthly ivermectin to prophylax against scabies. Compare to what happened with US prisons. Probably just a coinkydink.
Ivory tower was optimistic 2 yrs ago about mass ivermectin distribution to little kids as a malaria prevention strategy, based on ONE SMALL STUDY. That's right, mosquitoes die if they bite you while ivermectin is coursing through your veins. (psst, it also kills sarscov2, shhh).
My name is Dr. Eric Unsure. In my new piece for the New Republic, I write about how all those inflamed blood vessels coursing through your body are probably all in your mind, since real diseases all have single biomarkers with 100% sensitivity and specificity.
Tell that to all the highly physically fit patients of mine, including professional athletes, long distance runners, pro mixed martial artists, etc, who became debilitated.
I seriously cannot anymore with the "why would a parasite drug possibly work against a virus?" tweets. It's still being investigated, it may show benefit, it may not, but literally this is all the research I ask of you before asking that rhetorical question:
They need to fix this BS not allowing patients to receive monoclonals if they're getting hospitalized. There are cases where we can't safely send them home from the ER but it has nothing to do with the stage/severity of their covid infection. You R forcing us into an awful choice
Standard procedure in a residential facility or institution is if one person has scabies, everyone else gets livestock medicine that's not FDA approved to treat scabies.
We will be in a nationwide shutdown by the end of 2020. Not stating an opinion about whether I agree with shutdowns. Just reading the writing on the wall. Hopefully the next pandemic will not coincide with a full blown US kakistocracy.
My 900 bed hospital is on full divert because every bed is taken up by people with hallucinations and tremors from butt-chugging sheep drench. Out of hospital cardiac arrests with ROSC are laying on ice packs in the parking garage. This is crazy, where is the media on this?
Dear brainless public health experts+journalists: pointing out adverse outcomes of self medicating is NOT a good argument against broadening prescriber adoption of safe medicines. When you expand legitimate access to human grade medicine, surreptitious/veterinary use declines.
NIH updated their guidelines. They STRONGLY recommend against treating covid with early treatment, based on expert opinion only. The only reason to strongly recommend against something without any studies is safety concern. If it's a highly safe drug, something else is going on.
2019: "Based on one small clustered trial, it's a good idea and really safe to mass distribute ivermectin to small children."
2 years later: "whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast, I know we have 26 RCTs but none are really large and this drug might not be safe."
Reefer madness-->horsey madness. Every time u read about the naughty i medicine in any journal, text, scholarly writing pre 2020, adjectives/adverbs will invariably include safe,very safe, extremely safe, well-tolerated etc. In 2 years it's become of the world's deadliest toxins.
Cereal industry successfully pushed the myth that breakfast is the most important meal, the sports drink industry sold mass dehydration, big sugar sold dietary fat myths, but the notion that biopharma intentionally shapes discourse re translational science is tinfoil hatworthy?
The quality/certainty of evidence that fluvoxamine reduces disease progression and mortality in early covid19, exceeds the quality/certainty of evidence that forms the basis of about 90% of all infectious diseases professional guidelines.
We're starting to see vaccinated x 3 in our longhaul clinics. Def get the full vaccination series bc u dont want to see the inside of an ICU or coffin. But let er rip isnt public health.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among the latest of our leaders to test positive for

This is what it living with covid looks like. People will get the coronavirus, just as they get other viruses. Those who are vaccinated and boosted are very well protected from severe illness.
What do Molnupiravir, Nitazoxanide, and Ivermectin have in common? All 3 have passed either FDA or EMA phase II trials against covid and are currently in phase III.
This article is chalk full of disinformation. Ivermectin has shown antiviral and clinical benefits in randomized controlled trials, including peer reviewed, double blinded placebo controlled. The benefit of a large trial is a better estimate of the effect
Anyone who disseminates fraudulent medical research during a pandemic should be tried by the International Criminal Court and face a life sentence if convicted.
@RyanMarino
Before opening, I'm guessing the article made sure to calculate how many people that amount of fentanyl could OD, as though that figure is meaningful in any way from a scientific or public health perspective.
Many people who have sought me out on my telemed for ivermectin ppx or treatment have often insisted on paying me some amount for the service. Unfortunately, my price for this service is non-negotiable. You will pay me zero dollars and you must do something nice for a stranger.
Why aren't nasal sanitation methods in addition to masks being recommended by public health agencies to prevent transmission? Nontoxic, safe, low cost, and shown to be effective in multiple lab and clinical studies. Iota-carrageenan in particular. Also betadyne and essential oils
Press release about a Rx that cut c19 hospitalization in half and the shitlibs are already out in full force suggesting the unvaxd should be denied access
1) The study population was unvaccinated
2) Healthcare is a right
3) OK but dont pretend u GAF about overworked hospital HCWs
Pts testing covid positive randomized open label to Ivermectin 12mg x 1 vs standard care. Who was negative by day 3, 7, 14?
Day 3: 41% vs 4%
Day 7: 90% vs 44%
P=0.001
If this was due to the placebo effect, we should start a global distribution of placebos.
Days after Academy Award-winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr. contracted COVID-19, his condition began to deteriorate. A friend pointed him to the information on the FLCCC's website. So he called his doctor. We'll let Mr. Gossett take it from here.

Big intn'l medical news: Oxford to conduct large trial of ivermectin for covid19. I look forward to Oxford telling us what we already knew for months, for the 2nd year in a row. [see corticosteroids, June 17, 2020, filed under "duhhh"]
I dont give a shit if u think the naughty I medicine has a role in c19. In a prison, or SNF, if 1 person gets scabies, everyone gets "i." Not FDA approved for scabies. No good RCTs to support this practice. Now a corrections Dr is being compared to Tusgekee for off label c19 use.

I wonder how often this happens on Wall Street.
"Was doing blow all night in a Manhattan Bar and never saw them again until this morning I met with them to go over my portfolio."
First started using fenofibrate in the hospital for covid patients back in dec 2020 after speaking to an israeli drug repurposing expert at tel aviv university. I humbly suggest those with a lot of active cases give it a try. Very cool properties.
Today, a family waits 24 hours to see if a court order for a hospital to give an old safe drug to their loved one is enforced. It's also the day critical pedagogy pioneer Paulo Freire died, who said: to alienate people from their own decision making is to change them into objects
Lol. Yes striking. They must be way better at social distancing than we are. Because the known anti-sarscov2 drug they mass distributed right before the case drop couldnt possibly be the reason.
This is the conclusion of a double blind, placebo controlled randomized clinical trial peer reviewed and published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. Naturally, New York Times, CNN, NPR were all over it, right?
HBO new documentary "Crime of the Century" should be good. An example of how pharma and its power+money influenced public health agencies, regulatory bodies, and academia, and mass deaths ensued. The ivermectin documentary a decade from now will totally blow this out of the water
Its a Sunday so a quick update on the state of the pandemic in the US
Infections are up about 50% and hospitalizations are rising too
But there is an important pattern emerging in the Northeast that helps chart the path forward
Thread
The entirety of the IDW is now on top of the ivermectin story before ALMOST any of the left. I say almost because the best of the best of the best had me on their show awhile back. When this all shakes out, this is going to be bigger than the lab leak turnaround.
The next interim analysis of COVIDOUT (fluvoxamine, ivermectin, metformin, fluvoxamine+metformin, ivermectin+metformin, placebo) is apparently Friday. Much gratitude and respect to all who are conducting and have conducted research into this disease with integrity.

et al, for a double blind placebo controlled RCT for the longhaul (PASC) treatment regimen we've been using (case series forthcoming as well). 1 major university collaborating so far
In the last day, my email is full of ppl who saw my interview, who had no intention of getting vax or were on the fence, who are now either scheduled for their 1st shot, or are now considering and want an appt with me to discuss. Amazing what happens w nonjudgmental communication
It saddens me to see medical literature and evidence based treatment approaches succumb to the same culture wars as everything else. No one has to "destroy" or "own" anyone. There are bright people on multiple sides of most scientific topics, it's our job to challenge each other.
Dont let ur loved ones die w/ whited out lungs from c19 without making sure the Drs at least try 1. high dose methylprednisolone, pulse dose if needed 2. high dose ivermectin, 3. fenofibrate + statin, 4. cyproheptadine and 5. full dose anticoagulant. Will still lose some but FEW.

Don't wait for the test. At the first sign of suspicious symptoms it should be started. It's covid til proven otherwise at this point. I've treated patients whose symptoms are resolved by the time they get their positive test bc i started ivermectin empirically.
New study published by THE LANCET:
ANTIVIRAL EFFECT OF ¡IVERMECTIN. IN HIGH DOSES IN COVID-19:
Conclusion: A concentration-dependent antiviral activity of ¡Ivermectin. was identified. High doses were well tolerated.
In a Nov interview, I naively spoke favorably of the W.HO. It is now beyond clear to me their statements should be taken with a grain of salt. They have demonstrably gotten literally every single thing wrong during the course of the pandemic, and they're doubling down on ivm.
Anti-IVM rhetoric heating up. Predictably we've moved from ridicule/dismissal to rabid opposition. Next, its efficacy will be accepted as self-evident. See: corticosteroids for hospitalized covid19 prior to June 17, 2020. The fangle dangles out there need 2stfu and let drs be drs
The evidence against scabies that WHO used to recommend it, at the time, was less than what we now have for c19. Itchy rash vs deadly virus. Hmm, what to do?
Sadly this is what journalists are capable of these days. Choose a narrative, interview selective sources who support said narrative, speak to no one on the other side of the debate, and assert conclusions you are not qualified to assert.

Grateful and humbled to have received a phone call from the one and only 'el presidente' Pierre Kory, informing me that (while it is an honor to be one of many FLCCC associate physicians) I will now be an FLCCC clinical advisor, soon included on the main physician page.
I've taken care of patients who have experienced significant, non transient adverse effects from sars cov2 vaccines. What they all have in common
-they understand it's a rare phenomenon.
-they understand vaccines save lives
-they don't want to see vaccination efforts stop
